Trashed rooms. Plastic sheeting. Dodgy ductwork. When Mike Senior returned to his rental property in Cambridge, he uncovered a scene straight out of a crime drama.
In this interview with Olly, he reveals how some tenants from Gumtree turned his Dream Home into a landlord’s nightmare…

Meanwhile, in the Zeitgeist, Ollie Peart investigates the trend for A.I.-assisted recruitment.
Employers, he discovers, are using machine learning to whittle down candidates, read CVs and reduce biases. Applicants are hacking their jobsearch with “prompt engineering”, hidden fonts, and generative interview prep.
… Is it still possible to get a job with inter-personal skills and chutzpah?
And can he uncover a recipe to beat the bots?

Elsewhere, down the Foxhole, Alix Fox – fresh from the ‘You Me Bum Bum Train’ building site – has advice for a fifty-something Mannfan whose libido has reduced dramatically.
Though physically capable, his emotional and mental energy are drained by health issues, caregiving, and stress. Could counselling, lifestyle changes, and a change of scene help him get his mojo back? And why do so many people seem to believe that if a man can get hard, there’s nothing to worry about?

Finally, our record of the month is ‘She’s Got A Problem’ from Hastings rock-trio HotWax 🤘
