In the fifth episode of this Shooting Breezes season, brought to you by COVID-19, Brad and Jacqui want to know what is next for global citizens who have cancelled all their international trips and are now used to working from home. First up, Jacqui wants to do something different this week and tests Brad on his brand recognition. Can you name companies from their slogans alone? Some are easy, but some are harder than you think. Brad wants to know what children’s character would make the worst friend. Jacqui’s answer comes from the fairy tale books she’s been reading to their daughter, which feature some terrible, awful human beings. Jacqui’s news comes from one of the only sport competitions still running during Corona – chess comps. There’s a young new grandmaster challenging the reigning champion, and Jacqui can’t figure out how a 16-year-old can possibly be the best. She talks playing chess against the real champions: computers. Brad turns their attention to working post corona virus, and companies projecting to continue remote working arrangements regardless of government efforts to ‘open up’. He talks about electronic surveillance of employees in the home setting, and productivity hacks. In this week’s ‘Blue Sky Thinking’ segment, Jacqui wants to talk international travel. For two people who travel a lot for personal and professional reasons, they discuss what the “new normal” might be once borders start re-opening, and when airlines (if still operating) start selling tickets. Will the Australian identity, which prides itself on seeing the world, change? Will the global citizen start turning inward now that the fragility of global supply chains has hurt so many? Hit us up on Twitter @shootinbreezes for your thoughts on this episode. Do you agree with how Brad and Jacqui are analysing the world’s next steps? Did you hate the chess segment? We welcome all feedback – until next time! https://edition.cnn.com/2020/04/17/sport/alireza-firouzja-beat-magnus-carlsen-iran-chess-spt-intl/index.html https://www.nytimes.com/section/technology https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/06/technology/employee-monitoring-work-from-home-virus.html How to achieve checkmate in three moves: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UrND3VVx3ZM Music by Cullah
