How do firms and public institutions regain greatness while wrestling with risk, disruption, and their responsibilities to investors, employees, and the public? When businesses and other organizations pursue their strategies, they inevitably run into ethical boundaries that don’t neatly align with their goals. On the Cusp: Between Strategy and Ethics is about what happens in that zone of collision where executives, policymakers, and citizens must decide whether to stretch the rules, redraw them, or change course altogether. Each episode takes up a concrete case, from shareholder primacy to AI, finance, and democratic accountability, asking a simple but uncomfortable question: what do “great” organizations owe the societies that can make their success more possible?
On the Cusp is hosted by Alfred Marcus, Professor at the Carlson School of Management at the University of Minnesota. He has published several books including Comeback: Can Great Companies Rise Again? and Managing Business Ethics co-authored with Tim Hargrave. He has spent much of his career on the cusp between strategy and ethics and hopes to understand that fault line far better through this podcast series.

Inspired by Bradley Sommer’s tweet this past summer about the ongoing challenges of the Humanities job market in the U.S., this four part podcast (produced by Erica Bennett, an M.A. student in the Department of Religious Studies at the University of Alabama) talks with an early career scholar now looking for work in academia, a senior scholar with a view from the inside, and those who either earned their doctorate and established a career outside the university or those who decided early on that graduate work was not their preferred career path.

In 2018, a man named Gyula Remes died just metres from the buildings that govern Britain, on a street surrounded by unimaginable wealth and rows of vacant properties. His death should have been impossible. Instead, it was treated as inevitable.
How could this happen on Parliament’s doorstep, at the centre of one of the richest cities on the planet?
In this podcast, Kojo Koram – author of Uncommon Wealth – traces Gyula’s story, asking how someone could die of homelessness in the shadow of British power, while so many nearby homes stood empty and untouched. But asking that question quickly takes him far beyond Westminster’s pavements.
Death in Westminster is a four-part investigative series that begins with one life lost but soon spirals outward – from a tube station tragedy to offshore tax havens, from imperial history to modern finance.
It’s a story about secrecy, stolen wealth, and how Britain’s imperial afterlife has turned its capital into a global money laundering machine – leaving people like Gyula in its wake.
