The Pricing Lady - Janene Liston; Happie Zero Waste - Dennis Beemsterboer

Janene Liston, proprietor of ThePricingLady.com, returned to The English Show studio this week, to bring us up to date with what's happening in pricing products and services throughout Switzerland. Janene is a consultant and coach helping entrepreneurs and established businesses to determine optimal prices for their goods and services. Our discussion included rising commodity and transport costs for business owners, and the "worry" that end-consumers are experiencing in the post-pandemic world. Tune in to Janene's weekly Podcast or YouTube channel to get more details and solutions! Listen to the interview here.

Happie Zero Waste is a Basel start-up focused on home delivery of ready-to-prepare meals featuring locally-sourced, organic food products. This way, they implement a sustainability-oriented supply-chain business model (No Waste!). It may sound "high-concept", but it is really quite simple: Dutch guys on bikes have teamed up with a Chef de Cuisine to plan meals using seasonal products that are delivered straight to your door, ready to cook. The prices are compelling, too, when you consider all the benefits and, of course, the great food. Visit with them at their Werkstatt/Atelier/Prepstation in Markthalle (just behind Demeter foods) if you would like to learn more or sample their products. You can also visit their website to subscribe and try their service (with no onerous subscription terms). Listen to the interview with founder Dennis Beemsterboer here.

Tonight, our musical theme was all about that BASS! Simple or crazy, Rickenbacker or 808, the bass underpins the rhythm of a song, stringing together the melodies we often tend to remember and shake our booties to. This week's theme is dedicated to the wonder of bass, pioneered through the modern era with such names as Thundercat or Les Claypool, making the instrument the driving force of their song. Our tracks tonight were:

Thundercat - Them Changes

Mitski - Francis Forever

Gorillaz - Feel Good Inc.

Muse - Hysteria

Primus - John The Fisherman

Earth, Wind & Fire - Let's Groove
