Что у меня в сумке?

Host: Welcome back to the podcast everyone. I’m joined today by Naseem, an IT consultant from 
Delhi and Deepa, an HR consultant from Bangore. Today we’ll be discussing the increase in the number of people moonlighting and what the future holds for companies and workers. So, Deepa, I’ll ask you first: What has created this problem?

Deepa: Well, as with many places around the world, during the pandemic, there was a big increase in the number of people working from home and also economic instability. So, at the same time, we had more people working without any supervision and people were more worried about being able to make a living. So, the increase in online moonlighting was a consequence of that situation really.

Naseem: That’s certainly what happened to me. At the time, you read about all of these companies that were *laying off * their staff and there wasn’t much you could do about it if it happened to you. So suddenly working for just one company seemed like a bad idea. I have a family to feed: three boys and a girl. I felt a lot of insecurity and was terrified of losing money, or maybe even worse, my house. So, I took two jobs.

Host: What effect did that have on you and your family?

Naseem: It gave us some comfort, financially, as I started making more money than I had before the pandemic. But I was also working very long hours each day. I saw the children every day of course, but I couldn’t spend any real time with them as I had to work from almost as soon as I got up, until late in the evening. My wife was working as well, so it was quite hard to manage everything. When the crisis was averted, we had gotten used to having the extra money, so although I cut back on my hours in both jobs, I still continued to work at both.

Host: Do you see anything wrong with doing what you are doing?

Naseem: Not at all. I’m a professional and I work hard at both jobs. My main job is in IT as you mentioned, but my second is in design.

MOONLIGHTING 

This issue will give you an answer what is the deepest lake in the world. Many interesting facts about this lake, including the fact, that it contains almost 1/5 of fresh water on the Earth. Why people love to come to this lake? Why the swimming season at the lake is short?

After a long break, we’re back—and what better way to kick things off than with a true Edmonton radio legend?

In this episode, I sit down with Terry Evans—longtime morning show host on K-97 and the voice behind the Reluctantly... podcast—for a real conversation about confidence, mistakes, and staying true to yourself when the pressure’s on.

We talk about how Terry got started in radio, some of the wild things that happen live on-air, what it really means to be confident (especially when you're nervous), and how to handle those tough, awkward conversations at work. It’s honest, funny, and packed with wisdom you’ll want to hear—especially if you’ve ever held back from speaking up because you were afraid of making a mistake.

Whether you’re learning English, trying to be more confident, or just love a good story from behind the mic—this episode is for you.
