The lost art of authenticity
Graeme Shanks
If you had to choose between an 18 hour drive and a 3 hour flight to reach the same destination what would you choose? That’s the decision that the newly-announced boss of Starbucks, Brian Niccol, has come under fire for.

Have you ever been shadowed at work? Or observed during an interview? We often find it uncomfortable to be watched.
This is the predicament that the three protagonists in the latest season of the hit TV comedy drama series Only Murders in the Building find themselves in.

As they begin solving yet another murder, they also end up being shadowed by the three actors hired to play them in the film.
