Protecting IP… negotiating licenses on behalf of IP clients… buying up IP’s. Having built one of the world’s largest intellectual property licensing companies, the pair know a lot about business. They also have a keen sense for politics – and how politics can impact business. Where other political shows are exclusively about politics, Pridham and Sheafe connect the dots between government policies, headline politics and growing your business. The two get political…They talk social issues. They jump headfirst into today’s headlines. It’s like listening in on what two businessmen/entrepreneurs have to say about everything going on around them. And like any A-types, David and Brad pull no punches. But they do throw in a lot of humor. So, when you want to practice the best practices as they relate to growing your business…when you want to know how intellectual properties can benefit your company…and when you just want a good laugh – tune in to Pridham and Sheafe – you’re guaranteed to learn and laugh - they're two funny!","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045"},"episode":{"title":"Ep. 308 - Medieval Solutions","slug":"ep-308-medieval-solutions","published_at":"2025-11-04T14:27:13+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-308-medieval-solutions","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/ep-308-medieval-solutions--68414493","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/68414493/ep_308_medieval_solutions.mp3","summary":"Ep. 308 - Medieval Solutions for Modern Problems David and Brad make an impassioned case for reviving public shaming via pillory—and this week's news provides all the evidence they need. First up: a Scottish woman who orchestrated an elaborate nine-month fake pregnancy with a doll named Bonnie Lee Joyce, complete with gender reveal parties, prosthetic baby bumps, and simulated diaper changes that fooled friends, family, and even the supposed father. Brad and David agree she deserves the stocks, but she's got company. Congressional Democrats blocking government funding while military members, FBI agents, and hungry kids go unpaid (but senators keep cashing checks)? Straight to the pillory. Prince Andrew, who spent decades bilking British taxpayers to fund his 40-prostitutes-in-four-days Thailand adventure before finally being stripped of his royal title? Front row in the town square. The only ones exempt from public shaming? The diseased research monkeys loose in Mississippi—at least they're honest about being extremely angry and dangerous.","meta_description":"Ep. 308 - Medieval Solutions for Modern Problems David and Brad make an impassioned case for reviving public shaming via pillory—and this week's news prov…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":2965,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/episodes/ep-308-medieval-solutions/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/pridham-and-sheafe-6228045/ep-308-medieval-solutions.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
