Pharmaceuticals is an industry bursting with passion, innovation, and some of the brightest minds around, all committed to making patients’ lives better. But if you’ve spent any time here, you know it can sometimes feel like slogging through the mud – buried in bureaucracy, battling for customers' attention, and constantly being asked to do more with less, despite all the investment and positive change happening around us.
So, here’s a question for you: What if it’s not just about more training or shiny new processes? What if the real obstacles are the quiet, unspoken rules and assumptions buried deep in our culture?
Introducing What the Pharma? - a podcast from the curious minds at Rubica designed to dig deep into those hidden barriers through fresh perspectives and bold conversations. Together with industry insiders and thought-provoking guests, we’ll uncover what might be really holding us back and maybe even find some unexpected solutions along the way... because it’s time to ask: What the pharma is really going on here? -

The Golden Bough A Study in Magic and Religion is an expansive comparative exploration of mythology and religion authored by the renowned Scottish anthropologist Sir James George Frazer (1854–1941). This groundbreaking work presents a modernist perspective, examining religion as a cultural phenomenon rather than through a theological lens. While many of its theories have been challenged over time—most notably the connections drawn between magic, religion, and science—the books influence on contemporary European literature remains profound. Frazer delves into the common threads of religious belief, spanning from ancient belief systems to more modern faiths like Christianity. He posits that ancient religions often revolved around fertility cults, centered on the worship and ritual sacrifice of a sacred king, embodying a dying and reviving god—a solar deity intertwined with a goddess of the earth, who dies at harvest and is reborn in spring. This compelling narrative is woven with vibrant examples from cultures worldwide, all articulated in a style that is seldom rivaled by his successors.

Wild Kingdom and The Map of Dreams is a brand-new podcast hosted by Hugh Somerleyton, founder of the wildlife charity WildEast. At its heart is the Map of Dreams, a living record of extraordinary people doing ordinary things to restore the natural world and sharing their vision for what a wilder future might look like.
The ambition is bold but simple: to restore 20% of the United Kingdom back to nature, recording every pledge on the Map of Dreams. Because change, as Wild Kingdom co-founder Hugh Somerleyton believes, doesn't only happen at policy level, it happens in back gardens, field margins, and farmyards, one nature corridor at a time.
In this series, Hugh sits down with some of the brightest minds and most passionate voices and commentators in conservation to explore what meaningful advocacy really looks like, and why biodiversity isn't just an environmental issue, but a human one.
Huge thanks to Laurence Friedman - Wild East for giving us permission to use your amazing song!
