The Risktory Podcast

12 Days of Riskmas - Day 12 - Cathy Freeman

It’s Day 12 of Riskmas and – also the final episode of the Risktory Podcast. Today, a story that feels as real today as it did back then. Cathy Freeman, the great Australian runner, winning gold at the 2000 Sydney Olympics. A great tale that proves you don’t need the best of everything, to be the best.

12 Days of Riskmas - Day 11 - Tammy Wynette

Welcome to Day 11 of Riskmas. Today, let’s talk about the great musician, Miss Tammy Wynette. If Dolly is the Queen, Tammy was – and still is – the first lady of country. She broke all the ceilings, laying the groundwork for every female country singer coming after her. The Risktory Podcast is created, written, hosted and produced by Jacinthe A Galpin.

12 Days of Riskmas - Day 10 - Tenterfield Saddler

It is Day 10 of Riskmas and, today, the song Tenterfield Saddler. When you think of the great Australian, Peter Allen, you think of – quite naturally – I still call Australia home. But for those of us of a certain vintage and/or who are fans of Peter Allen, we all know that Tenterfield Saddler is perhaps his best work. While I still call Australia home is an expat love song, a song that exuberantly celebrates all that makes my homeland great, Tenterfield Saddler is a sadder, more poignant song that speaks to the precarious balance of life versus death. A balance that is challenged daily if you live in Australia. Today, let’s look at Tenterfield Saddler. One of the most beautiful songs of all time, and an unintentional homage to risk management.

12 Days of Riskmas - Day 9 - Solzhenitsyn Part 2

Today, it’s Part 2 of my exploration into Russian dissident: Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn. On day 7, I looked at Solzhenitsyn’s life, positing the idea that Solzhenitsyn may never have gotten close to being as influential as he was, and is, were it not for the utter chaos that seemed to accompany him wherever he went. Today, I wanted to look at the big lessons we can take from Solzhenitsyn. Lessons that I think are especially important to know, in these chaotic times.

12 Days of Riskmas - Day 8 - Suni Lee

When Simone Biles pulled out of the Tokyo Olympics, I was so incredibly sad. I have loved watching this underdog win everything and I was genuinely excited to see her dominate. I kinda thought. Well, what next then? I mean, who else in the US Gymnastic Team can compete with the ferocity and dominance of Biles? Suni Lee.
