The Standards Show - the podcast that brings you the stories behind the standards.

Join Matthew Chiles and Cindy Parokkil - and their guests along the way - for conversations on the concepts, history, people, and organizations involved in standards.

And how they shape and improve the world around us, making life easier, safer, and more enjoyable. From facilitating international trade, to fixing potholes, to brewing the perfect cup of tea.

Expect a mixture of bite-sized and in-depth episodes, and frequent series. And regular features too, such as My Favourite Standard and the Standards Desk of News.

Sometimes serious, sometimes light-hearted, though always informative, educational and engaging, The Standards Show is the podcast for anyone working in standards, using standards, studying and researching standards, or just plain curious about standards.

Matthew Chiles has been communicating policy ideas and programmes for over 20 years. He’s currently supporting the next generation of industry experts with BSI.

Cindy Parokkil is an economist and international development practitioner. She’s currently helping to solve the world's developmental challenges with BSI.
