A Load of BS: The Behavioural Science Podcast with Daniel Ross
Gabby Logan joins us for a brilliant conversation that spans her journey from elite gymnast to one of the most recognisable faces in British sports broadcasting. From her early days growing up in a sporting family to breaking through in a male-dominated industry, Gabby shares the lessons, laughs, and life skills she's picked up along the way.We talk about resilience, moving schools, and why losing is just as important as winning. Gabby reflects on the power of participation in sport—for confidence, wellbeing, and those all-important life lessons. She opens up about the unique challenges of live broadcasting, the importance of empathy in journalism, and how women in sports media are paving the way for the next generation.Plus, we get Gabby's take on midlife as a moment of power, why podcasting is her new favourite medium, and whether she'd ever host a mastermind-style sports quiz show. It's candid, inspiring, and full of warmth—just like Gabby herself.What You'll Hear- Gabby's journey from gymnastics to the BBC and beyond- How her sporting family shaped her career and confidence- The role of resilience, especially when moving schools as a child- Why participation in sport matters for everyone—not just the winners- The art of natural, empathetic broadcasting (and a few Alan Partridge moments!)- Navigating and thriving in a male-dominated industry- How pivotal life experiences inform our values and choices- Embracing midlife as a time of new opportunities, not decline- The joys of podcasting and community- Thoughts on health, fitness, and redefining success in your 50s- Why quizzes and a competitive spirit can be great for personal growthMemorable Quotes“I want people at home to feel they are there, but equally there's a little bit of them wanting to be inside that stadium.”“Participation in sports teaches valuable life lessons about winning and losing.”“Empathy is essential in sports broadcasting.”“Women in sports broadcasting are paving the way for future generations.”If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review!#GabbyLogan #SportsBroadcasting #WomenInSport #PersonalDevelopment #Resilience #MidlifePower #Podcasting #Gymnastics #Broadcasting #SportConfidence Hosted on Acast.

I år er det femti år siden Monty Python and the Holy Grail kom på kino, og det er femti år siden humorserien Hotell i særklasse for første gang ble vist på BBC. Kulturjournalist Elise Dybvig har vært på Folketeateret i Oslo for å se den 85 år gamle britiske komikerlegenden John Cleese i levende live. Det var en ganske tragisk affære. Det var også en påminnelse om at det fantes en tid da man i en vanlig samtale kunne si at man foretrakk «britisk humor». En kikk på dagens strømmetjenester gir derimot inntrykk av at britene har sluttet å lage humor. Er det – som med alt annet – brexit som har skylden?Britiske humorprogram nevnt i episoden:Peep Show (2003-2015)Monty Python's Flying Circus (1969-1973)Fleabag (2016-2019)This Country (2017-2020)Alan Partridge, figuren spilt av skuespiller Steve Coogan i film, tv-serier og podkast.Aksels anbefaling: Hørespillene De dödas röster og Exorcismen i Eksjö på Sveriges Radio Hosted on Acast.

Hey everybody, welcome back to the show. So, today's episode is something a bit different, a bit more laid-back, recorded right here from my home studio – finally got that new microphone set up, sounding better, right?I had this idea... you know how our digital lives accumulate clutter? Well, I decided to tackle my Reddit account. I've been on Reddit for years, subscribed to so many subreddits, and honestly, I don't even know what half of them are anymore or why I joined them.So, in this episode, I'm doing it live: scrolling through my massive list of Reddit communities, deciding what stays and what goes. But it's more than just unsubscribing; it's a real-time reflection. Each subreddit is like a little snapshot of a past interest, a previous version of myself. We're talking everything from 3D modeling and specific artists like Basquiat, to comedy legends like Alan Partridge, travel spots like Bali, deep dives with Anthony Bourdain, tech stuff like Binance, even some weird corners like 'Accidental Renaissance' photos and 'Birth of a Fetish' (yeah, really).It's a journey through old hobbies, past curiosities, and a look at how interests evolve. Think of it as a digital decluttering session mixed with a personal archaeology dig. Maybe it'll inspire you to look at your own online subscriptions, or maybe you'll just enjoy listening to me ramble and rediscover parts of my digital history. It's long-form, it's unscripted, it's just me and my Reddit feed. Let me know if you find any gems in here you recognize!Chapter Marks:(00:00) Intro: Back Home & Better Sound (New Mic!)(00:33) Today's Plan: Pruning My Reddit Subscriptions(01:09) The Importance of Audio & Why I Upgraded(03:00) Diving In: The Reddit Pruning Begins(09:03) Subreddit: 3D Modeling (Keeping)(10:44) Subreddit: 80 Level (Keeping)(11:14) Subreddit: Accidental Renaissance (Keeping, with story)(13:16) Subreddit: Alan Partridge (Keeping)(14:30) Subreddit: All That Is Interesting (Unsubscribing)(15:20) Subreddit: AMA (Ask Me Anything) (Unsubscribing)(16:15) Subreddit: Angry Upvote (Keeping)(17:00) Subreddit: Answers (Unsubscribing)(17:31) Subreddit: Anthony Bourdain (Keeping)(19:02) Subreddit: Apollo App (Unsubscribing)(19:09) Subreddit: Aquariums (Keeping)(20:35) Subreddit: Art (Unsubscribing)(21:06) Subreddit: Ask Reddit (Keeping)(22:18) Subreddit: Ask Reddit After Dark (Keeping)(22:29) Subreddit: Asshole Design (Unsubscribing)(23:39) Subreddit: Bali (Keeping)(24:25) Subreddit: Basquiat Art (Unsubscribing)(25:20) Subreddit: Battle Stations (Unsubscribing)(26:21) Subreddit: Be Amazed (Unsubscribing)(26:58) Subreddit: Beat Me To It (Keeping)(27:53) Subreddit: Berlin (Keeping)(28:22) Subreddit: Berlinner Memes / Berlin Picks / Berlin Social Club (Decisions)(29:10) Subreddit: Best Of (Unsubscribing)(29:38) Subreddit: Better Every Loop (Keeping)(30:14) Subreddit: Binance (Unsubscribing)(30:24) Subreddit: Birth of a Fetish (Unsubscribing)(30:57) Wrapping Up Part 1 & Final Thoughts on the Process

Nao is a Grammy and Mercury nominated singer songwriter. She's described her unique brand of music as “wonky funk”. She joins Nuala McGovern to talk about fame, motherhood and her new album Jupiter. She performs live in the studio. As European leaders are set to meet in Paris later today today for an emergency summit on the war in Ukraine, the Prime Minister has said he is 'ready and willing' to commit British troops to the conflict. And the US Secretary of State Marco Rubio is heading to Saudi Arabia for talks with Russia. Three years on since the war began, we get reaction from Ukrainian women to the possible outcomes of these talks. Nuala talks to Ukrainian journalist, Kateryna Khinkulova, Editor of the Europe Hub for the BBC World Service and the female Ukrainian MP Lesia Vasylenko. Do you remember TV's Alan Partridge's long-time suffering personal assistant, Lynn? She is the inspiration for a new play, Lynn Faces. Nearly 40, and emerging from a toxic relationship, Leah starts a punk band and takes to the stage with no musical ability. Performed as a gig with lots of original songs, Lynn Faces explores hope after abuse, the power of friendship and how silliness can be healing. Nuala talks to the writer Laura Horton, who also plays drums in the production. The Children's Society are training staff at the fast food chain Chicken Cottage to spot signs of exploitation amongst their teenage customers.

Nick and Angela welcome their first guest of series 7 to Dish HQ. Legendary actor, comedian, writer and producer Steve Coogan was born in Lancashire. His career began on Spitting Image in the 80s, and he is most celebrated for his portrayal of the iconic Alan Partridge. He has earned critical acclaim for roles in Philomena, Stan & Ollie and The Reckoning, in which he played Jimmy Savile, and is back on the West End stage after a 28-year hiatus for a sold-out run of Dr Strangelove. His new Channel 4 drama, Brian and Maggie, is out now. Nick mixes a non-alcoholic Mother Root for Steve, while Angela prepares one his favourite meals, a potato, cheese & onion pie. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Le Arenarie Vermentino di Gallura. For dessert, our trio tuck into a rhubarb & pear crumble. Steve Coogan gives some hilarious insights into his cult show The Trip with Rob Brydon, sharing a great story about Anna Wintour. He talks Alan Partridge, of course, and weighs in on the best way to heat baked beans.

We had a very special guest on this week's edition of You Had To Be There on Off The Ball Breakfast. The co-creator of Alan Partridge and the man behind television shows like The Thick Of It and Veep, it was our great privilege to have the remarkable Armando Iannucci join us in studio to reflect on his relationship with sport and much, much more besides. Armando joined Ger Gilroy and Colm Boohig in the OTB studio to mark the arrival of his stage adaptation of the Stanley Kubrick classic, 'Dr. Strangelove'. There will be plenty of discussion about the play throughout this chat - not to mention the pivotal role Steve Coogan will be playing within in - but the show is going to run from the 5th to the 22nd of February at the Bord Gais Energy Theatre and tickets are available to purchase now! Don't forget you can tune into Off The Ball Breakfast every weekday morning from 7.30AM.
How do you solve a problem like Elon? The billionaire owner of X controls one of the world's biggest social media channels, treating the platform as his own propaganda machine.Armando Iannucci—the satirist, writer and producer behind Alan Partridge, The Thick of It and Veep—has, until recently, been using his own Twitter account to fact-check Musk's posts.He joins Alan Rusbridger and guest host, Janine Gibson, editor of the Weekend FT, to discuss how what happens if we don't take Musk seriously.Like Donald Trump, Musk has a strong dislike for the mainstream media and has used X to vocalise support for fringe figures like Tommy Robinson. But what might have once been dismissed as baseless rants are now driving the news agenda—and even political manoeuvres—in many parts of the USA and Europe.How will Musk's megalomania end? And how dangerous to global democracy is he, really? Armando, Alan and Janine discuss. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
In two weeks, Donald Trump will be inaugurated as president in Washington. There is a new order in America but where does it leave those close to the old establishment? Many are scurrying to be onside. Meta are abandoning fact-checking, Jeff Bezos is censoring cartoonists at the Washington Post and Elon Musk might be outstaying his welcome at Mar-a-Lago. “In America, the land of the free, we saw in the past election that freedom is universally valued but not universally defined,” Bono said as he received the medal of freedom from Joe Biden.What does this even mean? On Free State, Joe and Dion look at how the world is changing and how Bono will change with it. Few serious people would claim that freedom was universally valued by everyone at the last presidential election but does this tell us something about how Bono has operated in the US and around the world? In Ireland, in Derry, there are families of those who lost loved ones in Bloody Sunday who are angry with Bono for U2's song and who were angry again when he received the medal of freedom. But does it just prove that when it came to ‘Sunday Bloody Sunday', Alan Partridge was right?Free State with Joe Brolly and Dion Fanning is a Gold Hat Production in association with SwanMcG.For more on Free State: https://freestatepodcast.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Book Club #105 - Alan Partridge Big Beacon - The time has come for the creator of Alan Partridge to meet the current writers of Alan Partridge, the Gibbons Brothers, who sadly don't share a bunk bed, but have done amazing work over the last decade or so with the character. They discuss how they ended up with this lucrative gig, how not being obsessive Partridge fans helped them to reinvent the character somewhat, how writing as Alan involves turning off your imagination and going with the first idea, whether writing as siblings is easier than writing with a friend, choosing the right reference points for the audience and whether the creators of Partridge (especially Richard) have all turned into Alan PartridgeBuy the book here - https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/alan-partridge-big-beacon-alan-partridge/7546625?ean=9781398719224Or the audiobook here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Audible-Alan-Partridge-Big-Beacon/dp/B0C4YNWRSF/See Rich's stand-up tour Can I Have My Ball Back - https://richardherring.com/ballback/ Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/rhlstp.

Graeme is an old friend of the podcast. We've talked to him in the past about his books on Phil Lynott and John Martyn. ‘Under The Ivy: the Life And Music of Kate Bush' first appeared in 2010, and was revised in 2015 after her Before the Dawn concerts and it's now been updated again as, despite no new music or public appearances, her worldwide reputation has rocketed through the roof. We look back here at various key points in the story including ... … why the way she made records was ahead of its time. … the ‘70s footage and recordings that were “supressed”. … the “reclusive” decade and how the press filled the vacuum. … divinely daft and humorous TV appearances eg with Delia Smith: “Waldorf Salad – that's got waldorfs in it!” … her bohemian childhood and the powerful influence of male counterparts, particularly eldest brother and erotic poet John Carder Bush. … the unconventional Smash Hits interview of 1981. … the ‘Before the Dawn' concerts and the reason she staged them. … her seven-year stand-off with Top Of The Pops. … her ‘70s rock group – the KT Bush Band (still going!) – and the songs they played eg The Stealer by Free, Brooklyn by Steely Dan, Shame Shame Shame by Johnny Winter. … Danny Baker's NME review – “nothing she writes about matters”. … Pamela Stephenson's vicious pastiche and Alan Partridge's part in her comeback. ... Talk Talk, Blackadder, Monty Python, Powell & Pressburger, Oscar Wilde, Celtic folk, the Pre-Raphaelites and other early influences. … and the advantage of never being cool.

This is the second instalment of a three-part discussion. Armando Iannucci is one of Britain's best-loved comedy writers. The creator of hit shows such as The Thick Of It, Veep and Alan Partridge, Iannucci is renowned for his sharp political satire and parodies of the rich and powerful. His latest project, a West End stage production of Stanley Kubrick's Oscar-nominated black comedy Dr. Strangelove, focuses on a rogue US general who triggers a nuclear crisis. In March 2024 Iannucci came to the Intelligence Squared stage where, in conversation with author and journalist Helen Lewis, he discussed the role of satire and comedy in dark times. Can comedy help us cope emotionally with world events such as war and conflict? Does satire still have the power to hold politicians to account? Should we really be laughing at our increasingly unstable and risky world? This is the second part of a three-part discussion.
