Interview: French winemaker

Today, we’ll turn our attention to food and drink — in particular, to a very popular drink: wine. Knowing how to turn grapes into wine is one thing. But running a vineyard that has existed for centuries is a very particular kind of business.

Interview: Eamonn Fitzgerald

The population of many countries is getting older, and this means changes to the way we work — and to the way we spend our lives at the ages of 60, 80 or even 100. Here's Eamonn Fitzgerald, blogger and Business Spotlight columnist, to give us his views on this topic.

Interview: Anne Koark

One thing that many of us fear is losing everything we own. And that’s exactly what happened to Anne Koark from England. Let’s hear more. She’s talking to Ken Taylor.

Interview: Linda Duxbury

In many companies, it’s common for people from several generations to work together. But the world of work has changed rapidly in past decades. How has this had an effect on workers of various ages? For the answer to this question, we spoke to Canadian university professor, Linda Duxbury.

Interviews: Sports psychologists

During a big sporting event such as the World Cup, emotional aspects are as much a part of the tournament as athletic skills — who has the determination to win, and who is perhaps not giving 100 per cent? To learn more about the mental game involved in sports, we spoke to two clinical sports psychologists in London and Bochum.

Interviews: Zailiang Tang

This week, we travel to China, where, a few years ago, bicycles dominated the roads. Not any more. The country offers a huge, fast-growing market for automobile makers. So, what do people in China expect of their cars? Let’s welcome intercultural expert Robert Gibson, and his interview partner, for more.

Interviews: Craigie Zildjian

One of America’s oldest family-held firms is the Avedis Zildjian Company, which has been making cymbals since 1623. We spoke to the company’s current head, Craigie Zildjian, and asked her how she manages to keep business and family matters separate.

Interviews: Is it OK to lie at job interviews?

We all know that looking for a job is very hard work. If you make it to the interview, you want to look and sound your best. But is your best good enough? What happens if you stretch the truth a little? Some people say companies expect you to lie about some things.

Interviews: Corporate astrologer

Some people check their horoscope before making any important decisions, going on trips or getting involved in a relationship. But did you know that some businesses do this, too? We spoke to Faye Cossar, a corporate astrologer, about how the stars influence businesses and business cycles for March and April.

Interviews: Matchmaker

When looking for love, some people go to an online dating service, while others turn to a matchmaker. We went to the streets in Norwich, England to ask: “Would you use a matchmaker to find a partner?”
