The Growing World of 'Shadow Work'.

This week on Taking Stock Mandy Johnston talks to Rana Foroohar about the phenomenon known as ‘Shadow Working’ where we're becoming increasingly responsible for doing those small jobs that companies used to do for us. 100 days of a leader's reign are said to be crucial, and this certainly holds true for Elon Musk’s new position at Twitter. We’ll be hearing from journalist Chris Stokel-Walker and getting his assessment on how Musk has fared during this period. And finally, with the European Parliament’s decision to phase out petrol and diesel vehicles by 2035, we’ll be discussing the current state of electric cars in Ireland and the challenges that motorists face when choosing to switch to lower carbon emission vehicles with Motoring Journalist Geraldine Herbert.
