205. The child sacrifices of Africa Dec 05, 2022

Show notes

Today is really quite an impactful and emotional episode, so I do warn you that we talk about some really gruesome things today, and it’s up to you whether you want to hear about that on this fine sunny or grey drizzly day or night, or wherever you are. Annie Ikpa is a hero to me, because she fought to end child sacrifice in Uganda.

204. Why Julian Assange Matters Dec 03, 2022

Show notes

And now it’s time for something completely different. Well, not that different. It’s an episode about Julian Assange, the Australian editor of Wikileaks who released information in 2010 that had been obtained from the US Military.

Here to talk us through the debate are Dave Decamp, a podcast host and news editor at AntiWar.com, and Dan Cohen, journalist and filmmaker. You’ll get one side today, which is the free Assange side, so do bear that in mind. I hope you enjoy!

203. ROBBIE WILLIAMS: Fame, Belief & Rivals Dec 01, 2022

Show notes

Today, I interview an icon. He’s one of the most famous people on the planet, in an illustrious career stretching across three decades. He was a hero for me growing up, I just loved him, I loved – and still love – his music, but also his ability to entertain, his candidness and his sensitivity, which have always been so present in his music.

201. Debating the Mexican ‘Barrio Nazi’ Pedro Gonzalez Nov 26, 2022

Show notes

The Barrio Nazi is a reference to Pedro Gonzalez’s twitter description, and it’s evidently something that has been thrown at him. Barrio because he is Mexican-American, and Nazi because he holds pretty right-wing views. As many of you know, I see myself as a centrist, or a moderate, and online I’m often insulted as a centrist dad despite having no children, or enlightened centrist, which is supposed to suggest people in the middle are arrogant or know-it-alls, or whatever.

I hold that I’ll talk to people on all sides of the political spectrum and try to find agreement and understanding as much as possible with whoever I’m talking to. Today, I do this with Pedro Gonzalez, whose views are a little to the Right for me.

Becky Smethurst is an astrophysicist, author and youtuber with a huge channel called Dr. Becky. She has won all sorts of prizes in physics and astronomy, but her best ability is being able to break down that complex stuff into enjoyable, accessible and easy to understand bites for lay people like us.

She talks today about what would happen if you fell into a black hole, what the science of Interstellar gets wrong, the movie, and what will happen at the end of the universe.

199. Aryan Brotherhood Founder Nov 21, 2022

Show notes

This was a challenging episode, because I interview the founder of the Aryan Brotherhood, a racist prison gang. My mate and co-host Shaun Attwood is no stranger to true crime, having worked on both sides of it – as a journalist and presenter and also the boss of an organised crime ring in the States that smuggled ecstasy.
