Dust off your illegal VHS tapes and be prepared to write a strongly worded letter to Points of View because we're back with the second part of our ‘Banned by the Beeb' two-parter looking at three more episodes of Star Trek that suffered the wrath of British censorship. We're back with three episodes, the final two banned TOS episodes, starting with ‘The Empath' where William Shatner has to do some Dark Place style slow-motion running and McCoy definitely violates some medical practices as our latest butt-headed aliens the Vians pull out the chains and then with ‘Whom Gods Destroy' where Kirk and Spock are repeatedly taken in and out of rooms and forced to ask chess questions by a mad-man in mismatched boots. Which episode is more controversial- SHOOT THEM BOTH, SPOCK! But after that, the fun and hijinks go away with ‘The High Ground,' a TNG episode banned due to a line about Irish Reunification and Miles and Charlie find themselves having to ponder the age old question, can a show written, produced and made by Americans talk about how fighting for independence against oppressive colonialist Imperialism and somehow seem to conclude that it's a bad thing, actually. Or, as Miles' wife Reanna said as she watched the episode with him ‘Gosh, this has aged well.' There are some things we can try to make fun, not everything. Episodes discussed: ‘The Empath' (11:37), ‘Whom Gods Destroy' (42:59) and ‘The High Ground (01:08:30) Talking Points Include: THEY PUT BABY SUPERMAN IN A MICROWAVE?!?!, Judge Dredd killing the Jolly Green Giant, dialogue censorship in American comics, Miles' 12th Wedding Anniversary is a good excuse to go off on how amazing the film ‘Lifeforce' is, Alex Garland's ‘Annihilation,' Patrick Stewart's first movie kiss, Charlie has a physical subscript to 2000 AD (Lucky Bugger, Miles has to do digital), 2000 AD and Judge Dredd Megazine, SHIFT Magazine that Charlie has a story in, Alan Moore's ‘The March of the Sinister Ducks,' Miles tries his empathic powers, the three different alien physicalities of Star Trek, DeForest Kelley's favourite episode, Hurt/Comfort fanfic, sometimes you can tell that the cast know the show's getting cancelled soon, the Cenobites would hate dealing with Starfleet, old make-up techniques, how the characters have become less real over the first three seasons, William Shatner doing his slow-mo running, the British hatred of Morris Men and all they stand for, how a lot of modern comedy lacks actual stakes, The Beatles vs. The Rolling Stones, Jeff knows what he's done, Yvonne Craig (TV's Batgirl) as a dancing girl, Mental Health doesn't work how Star Trek thinks it works, lots of shouting, oh God more Am-Dram, Legion of Super-Heroes, did Wayne's World ruin the name ‘Garth?' Double-Nerve Pinch, ‘Pointy-Eared Bum Head!'Garth's really bad Glam-Rock band, did the BBC have a point? Power-Mad-Starbucks Supervisors, padding, Kylie Minogue, Michael Bolton, where do Americans know Kylie Monogue from? the Troubles, the IRA's attempt to assassinate Thatcher in the 80s (in Miles and Charlie's hometown no less!), Picard is unable to answer the important question ‘What is terrorism?' and ‘but doesn't terrorism occasionally work for good outcomes?', does Magneto have a point? Imperialism, Colonialism, Centrists are the worst, it really stops being fun talking points for The High Ground, the actor playing Finn seems to be going for a Jack Nicholson-esque drawl to sound dangerous, but he just sounds utterly checked out. And sometimes Star Trek. Pedants Corner: ‘Neighbours' was a long running Australian soap-opera that would air in the 5:30 timeslot Monday-Friday evening BBC 1 slot after the kids' programming ended and before the 6 o'Clock News.

This week, we're interviewing our very own Dr Julian Hoad!Julian began his life, as most Hoads do, in Kent. As a child, he was an army brat and lived in many different places (although mostly in and around London). Like most vets, he knew from a very young age that he wanted to be a vet.He eventually arrived at Plymouth Polytechnic where he studied Biological Sciences, Microbiology and Biochemistry. His career took a sudden turn when he found out that he was unable to apply for vet school, and instead turned his sights to a career in Virology after accepting a job at an HIV research lab. Later on, he re-applied to become a vet at the Royal Veterinary College and talks a bit about how he managed to fund the degree through various grants and kind donations.Julian is also an accomplished actor and has had a great deal of experience on stage. In his teenage years, Julian was offered a potentially career-making role in a film - but turned down the opportunity to continue his A-Levels so that he could become a vet. He still takes part regularly in theatre productions, despite it being a surprisingly dangerous hobby!Support the show

A filled-to-the-brim podcast this week as we chat to the gorgeous Rachel Tucker who is one of the stars in the new musical Come From Away.

This week Miriam speaks to Harrie Hayes! Harrie is a British actor with a penchant for comedy (she is very funny) who is one fifth of zazU, actual Queens on Horrible Histories, advertisers’ dream go to face and much more besides. We talk about the journey from AM DRAM to DRAM DRAM and her plans for writing and making her own show. We did talk for 20 minutes on Brexit but we edited that out as we do care about your earholes. This Don’t Speak was recorded in the Tudor Mansion (not at all a helpful reference) that is The Southbank Centre in London’s second floor, which Miriam for some reason thought was be deadly quiet. It was not. Which is why it sounds a little like we’re in a public swimming pool. Follow Harrie on twitter @harriehayes Don’t Speak can be found at (OUR ALL NEW) instagram + twitter @dontspeakpod

Hi, it’s Neil here with Episode 37  of  The Tutor Podcast – And today we’re going to be talking about PASSIVE INCOME – in other words, how to get paid for doing nothing or whilst you’re asleep. For many of us in the tutoring and coaching business, our focus is on attracting students and clients. We want to be booked solid and perhaps even have a waiting list of potential customers for what we do. Don’t get me wrong here – because if you are booked-solid with great people, it’s a fantastic position to be in – I’m not disparaging that business model in the slightest – after all, that’s the model I used to escape from my day job in finance and double my income, then treble it. But here’s the thing: the booked-solid model is capped. I don’t care how you slice and dice it; there are only so many hours in a day that you can teach. Everything is limited - by either how much you can charge, and how many hours you can work. So one of the best things you can do as a business owner is to add more streams of income to your business. The very best way to do this is to create income streams that require no time input from you once they are set up. Once set up, each stream adds to your cashflow, and the best part about this idea is that everything is cumulative. Most people seem to think in terms of doing only one thing, but if you can change that and ask yourself “what else can I add?” you can – over time – create a confluence of income streams. Individually they may not be significant, but when you add them all up and keep adding additional streams, they can generate significant additional income with virtually zero time or money from you. Adding more and more income streams works – in the last two years I’ve added multiple passive income strategies that run around my teaching business. They don’t take much time – a few hours a month - and they generate profits equivalent to 9 days full-time tutoring per month. Now, if I can do it, anybody can. So here’s an overview of some additional income streams you can add to your teaching business Other people – but there’s a caveat here – people need more time than things Assistant instructor Associates who pay you for leads you don’t want, eg out of your area, poor match for what you do, Franchise your systems – if what you do is unique, proven, profitable and teachable – can you franchise it? McDonalds works this way – it sells turnkey business systems to franchisees, and receives royalties thereafter. Once you’ve created the system, you can sell it to other people who want to do what you do. Create products – a long tail. Create once and sell forever with evergreen content Books – words are free, and you can always make more Audio programmes – read your own books/sessions and sell the recordings Courses – package your way of teaching for people unable to get to you Music – song writing royalties. You don’t need to be the star yourself. Merchandise – design your own T-shirts, caps, and have someone else make and ship them Teaching tools – any special gadgets, graphics or gizmos you’ve invented? All of these have a halo effect – positioning you as an expert in the marketplace. Rent out your teaching space – if you own it My studio – trusted friends only on this one Spare rooms – you can earn up to £8000 per year tax free by renting a room in your own home. Teaching room - Home office – my friend likes to work here when I’m teaching Parking space – I rent out the allocated space at one of my properties where the tenant doesn’t drive. This is worth a rent rise of 11% on the flat and requires zero input from me, because it’s all done via a 3rd party website. Hire out your gear My PA system for example – my friend’s bands and the local Am-Dram group hire out my PA system. 10 minutes pick-up, 10 minutes drop-off My wireless system and one of my digital recorders – a trainer uses it to record her speeches and presentations Property investment good if you have the funds can be leveraged, multiplying returns Can be profitable, despite tax changes Aim for cashflow – capital growth is not within your control You’re acquiring an asset, possibly for life Possibly building a legacy for your kids Crowdfunding – as an investor or promoter of an offer Consider partnering-up with someone trustworthy or experienced IMPORTANT: do your homework! I’m amazed how many people I’ve met who want to get into property investing who’ve never even cracked a book on the subject and who don’t have a clue about what they are about to commit a lot of money to. Affiliate programmes Sell for other people Halo marketing – other people’s reputation around you Free, so it’s good if you have little or no money to start Amazon, Audible, Ebay and many others You get a unique link to add to our posts, emails and shares – any click thoughts which result in a sale generate an affiliate fee – often it’s not limited to your recommended products, it’s for anything bought within a given time period, a day or two, a week, month or several months; it’s all yours. Share on your social media, Twitter, faceBook, LinkedIn, Instagram, Snapchat etc White-label goods Amazon strategy Research the market Find a product Design the packaging Locate a manufacture Order some product and have Amazon fulfil the delivery and logistics   Whatever you are going to sell or market, you must be ethical. Do not endorse or sell crap – only endorse and market what you believe in and know to be good. Here’s a great tip for you: once a month, sit down and write at the top of a sheet of A4 “How can I add another income stream to my business?” and make yourself stay in the chair, answering that question until you have at least 30 ideas that you can consider. Do this every month and take action! If you can add an extra £50 a month to your income, every month for a year it’s not much, adding just £600 a month to your bottom line. But what happens if you keep on doing it every month for 5 years? That would add £3000 to your monthly income – might that make a difference to your business and your financial well-being?   Now imagine adding £100 extra per month to your income, and double those numbers up... Remember, it’s not rocket science – it’s just stuff you haven’t thought about, yet... So, that’s my ten cents’ worth on PASSIVE INCOME... Let me know what caught your ear in this episode and how you get on putting the ideas to work in your business. What have you learned from outside of your field that made you a better tutor? I’d love to hear it, so send them in to me, because I’m here to learn, too.

Why are entrepreneurs so annoying? They buy systems and processes and then sabotage themselves by deviating from them!   In The Show Judith’s had a testing week with another fall, another house move, breakages and sleeplessness. Fortunately, there are lots of lovely family meetups too. Nicola has been woken in the night by an earthquake – wow! And she was persuaded to go and watch the local Am Dram.   What’s Fuelled Their Fire? Two of the ladies in Nicola’s Write Club have had some wonderful successes.  And sharing a computer with sister Sarah in 2-hour stints has caused them both to be more efficient and work differently. Both Nicola and Judith were inspired by the contributions from the listeners to episode 200 of Own It! And Judith’s enjoyed driving in the countryside, finding it uplifting; she’s especially enjoying singing M People’s Moving on Up and noticing the pretty English churches in Somerset and Dorset.   Focus of the Week Why do entrepreneurs buy systems and processes and proven formulae and then sabotage themselves by deviating from them, or not showing up at all or believing that somehow it’s different for them?   Words of the Week Nicola chooses Contingency and Judith picks Idiosyncratic.   Project Updates Nicola changed three things at once with her online presence across the summer and then realised she couldn’t tell the impact of any of them, so she’s reversing two. Judith’s still pondering a sabbatical in 2019 where she might not take on any new clients but would continue to look after her most beloved existing ones.   Who or What’s Impressed? Judith was impressed by Jo Berry who has found a way to forgive the only IRA member convicted of killing her father in the Brighton bombing of the Tory Party Conference. Patrick Magee was later released from prison as part of the Good Friday agreement and they got to know one another and now travel the world in the name of peace and reconciliation. Here’s her interview on R2’s Jeremy Vine show with Vanessa Feltz. Nicola has discovered Magic Numbers with Hannah Fry on BBC4 and the Mysterious World of Maths.   Thanks for listening!
