What happens when you turn the microphone on the man who's spent years behind it? In this episode of the NAIL-IT podcast, Rana and Bav get Payman Langroudi — host of Dental Leaders and Clinical Director at Enlighten — firmly in the hot seat. It's a wide-ranging, refreshingly candid conversation that moves from the origins of Enlighten and the relentless pursuit of world-class quality to the very real mental health pressures that underpin life in dentistry. Payman reflects on leaning into his strengths, trusting his instincts, and why, after 320 episodes, the Dental Leaders podcast has become the thing he's most proud of.

Derek Hunt is an award-winning glass artist and educator, a Fellow of the British Society of Master Glass Painters, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and an accredited stained glass conservator. He designs and makes glass artworks for public spaces, private homes and churches using methods to include traditional stained glass as well as working with new techniques such as screen and digital printing to push the creative boundaries of the medium. In addition to creating and restoring stained glass works, Hunt hosts specialist Master Classes throughout the year at his studio in Leicestershire, teaching adults glass painting methods and techniques. Additionally, he runs a popular YouTube channel making inspirational videos and tutorials as well as podcasts with his favorite stained glass artists. His Instagram is part promotion and part inspiration for anyone interested in the medieval art and craft of stained glass. Says Hunt: "My ambition is to ensure new stained glass not only survives but thrives in the 21st Century, and the very best way to do that is to inspire the next generation." Born in 1962, Hunt is a mentor for stained glass artists on the BBC series Make it at Market. He earned his B.A. (Hons) Degree in Art and Design from Edinburgh Art School, 1980 – '84. He established his studio, Limelight Studios Ltd., in 1985. The artist won a Guildford Design Award for his 9-panel memorial window at St. Martin's Church, East Horsley, Guildford in 2025. Other notable Hunt works include a new north aisle window for St. Mary's Church , Melton Mowbray in memory of John Plumb, a major church benefactor. The Tree of Life includes the coat of arms for Melton Borough Council and Melton Mowbray Town Estate. Other local references include a pork pie and Stilton cheese, and a dove with a brush dipped in red paint. This refers to an 1837 incident in which a drunk Marquis of Waterford and friends painted Melton Mowbray's toll-bar and other buildings red. For John Rylands University Library Manchester, Hunt created an 11-meter-tall glass sculpture entitled Totem, situated in the new extension to the Manchester University Library. Using a combination of digital printing and bonded handmade antique glass, the sculpture is back lit with an arrangement of LED lights. The design includes various visual references to the library's archive collections of important first edition books. Hunt has also undertaken stained glass conservation work on a number of notable buildings including Glasgow Cathedral, Coventry Cathedral, Kenilworth Castle Warwickshire, Oscott College Birmingham, Staveley Hall Derbyshire, Ayscoughfee Hall Lincolnshire, Manor Lodge Sheffield and Nevill Holt Hall Leicestershire. Says Hunt: "I help artists build their skills, confidence and creative style in stained glass. If you want to learn all about creating beautiful stained glass you've come to the right place. I'll help you navigate your creative journey, giving you the confidence to create. It's safe to say I've got lots of experience on everything to do with designing, making and conserving stained glass. Every project is unique, with a focus on collaboration and community engagement being at the heart of my many commissions."

In this episode of Healthy Sleep Revolution, we're joined by Dr. Mayoor Patel, DDS, MS, a leading expert in dental sleep medicine and co-editor of Dental Sleep Medicine: A Clinical Guide, a comprehensive textbook used by clinicians to understand the intersection of dentistry and sleep medicine. Dr. Patel has spent decades focused on TMJ disorders, orofacial pain, and sleep-disordered breathing, bringing a depth of clinical experience and academic insight that challenges how many dental and sleep practices currently operate. Boswell Books+1 We discuss the significant gaps that exist between traditional dental practice and effective sleep medicine, including why sleep-disordered breathing often goes unrecognized in dental settings and how expanding screening protocols can change patient outcomes. Dr. Patel explains practical approaches for dentists and sleep clinicians to better identify, assess, and manage sleep-disordered breathing, emphasizing the role of thorough airway evaluation, collaboration across disciplines, and taking patient symptoms seriously rather than overlooking them. Boswell Books We also delve into the clinical realities that are frequently missed, including the nuanced presentation of airway issues in patients, and why oral appliance therapy and comprehensive management strategies need to be more widely adopted. Dr. Patel further explores the often-overlooked connection between pain and sleep, highlighting how unresolved orofacial pain and airway dysfunction can create a cycle of poor sleep, increased pain sensitivity, and systemic health consequences. This episode equips listeners with a clearer framework for bridging dental care and sleep health, empowering both providers and patients to pursue more holistic, effective solutions. About Dr. Mayoor Patel Dr. Patel received his dental degree from the University of Tennessee in 1994. After graduation he completed a one-year residency in Advanced Education in General Dentistry (AEGD). In 2011 he completed a Masters in Science from Tufts University in the area of Craniofacial Pain and Dental Sleep Medicine. Dr. Patel is Board certified in Orofacial pain and Dental sleep medicine. Presently, Dr. Patel is a co-founder of the British Academy of Dental Sleep Medicine, Ben-Pat Institute and a visiting faculty at Tufts University. He also served on the American Academy of Craniofacial Pain as secretary, board member of the British Society of Dental Sleep Medicine, and a board member and as examination chair for the American Board of Craniofacial Pain and Craniofacial Dental Sleep Medicine. In the past has served as a founding and board member of the Georgia Association of Sleep Professionals. Since 2003, Dr. Patel has limited his practice to the treatment of TMJ Disorders, Headaches, Orofacial Pain and Sleep Apnea. Additional contributions have been published: a textbook for Dental Sleep Medicine and numerous textbook chapters on orofacial pain and dental sleep medicine, consumer books, one on treatment options for sleep apnea and the other on understanding temporomandibular disorders, and various professional and consumer articles.

Exploring Perspective Through the LensLondon-based cinematographer Mattias Nyberg joins Movies We Like hosts Andy Nelson and Pete Wright to discuss David Lynch's Mulholland Drive. Drawing from his recent work on Amazon/MGM's The Girlfriend, Nyberg explores how Lynch and cinematographer Peter Deming created one of cinema's most compelling psychological thrillers through innovative perspective shifts and unsettling camera techniques.Nyberg's path to cinematography began unusually—as a professional hockey player in rural Sweden before discovering film during a temporary stay in London. Now a governor of the British Society of Cinematographers, his work on projects like The Girlfriend and Netflix's The Decameron demonstrates his mastery of visual storytelling through careful camera placement and measured pacing, particularly in building tension.The conversation delves into how Mulholland Drive masterfully manipulates audience perspective, with Nyberg offering technical insights about Deming's subtle camera movements and Lynch's unconventional shot choices. Through seemingly disconnected scenes and dreamlike sequences, the film creates an atmosphere of sustained unease that deepens rather than diminishes its impact. Nyberg connects these techniques to his own work on The Girlfriend, particularly in how camera positioning and sustained shots can build tension more effectively than rapid cutting.In both works, we see how thoughtful cinematography can elevate storytelling beyond conventional narrative into psychological complexity. Nyberg's deep appreciation for Mulholland Drive and its influence on contemporary television reveals how cinema's visual language continues to evolve while remaining rooted in the power of patient, confident camera work.

Are you excessively tired with your hair falling out, nails always breaking, brain often foggy or sometimes, despite having youth on your side, maybe forgetting how to form a sentence? These are amongst the symptoms of iron deficiency, often underdiagnosed. Nuala McGovern will be speaking to Dr Sue Pavord, Consultant Haematologist and President of the British Society for Haematology, and freelance journalist Rose Stokes.The Royal College of Pathologists say that a shortage of consultants means that "1 in 5 families are now waiting 6 months or more, and some longer than 12 months" for post mortems. The 'paediatric and perinatal pathology workforce' report said there were no paediatric or perinatal pathology consultants in the South West, the Midlands or Northern Ireland. Dr Clair Evans, the chair of the college's advisory committee - a Consultant Paediatric and Perinatal pathologist explains the situation further. At lunchtime on Wednesday the Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves, will unveil her much anticipated second budget. How could this budget affect the lives of women in 2026? We're joined by the BBC's Cost of Living correspondent Colletta Smith, to talk us through what we might see in the red briefcase on Wednesday. A self-portrait by Frida Kahlo has just sold for $55 million in New York. It is the highest price ever paid for a work by a female artist. To illustrate the magnitude of the difference, a painting by Klimt was also sold recently for $236m. Professor Renee Adams is a professor of finance at Oxford Saïd business school and researches the role of gender in the art market, where women's works generally achieve much lower values. She explains why and what needs to change. As part of the BBC 2 Civilisations series, tonight's programme looks at the rise and fall of the Aztec Empire and the part that a young woman played in its demise. She was called Malintzin and acted as translator at the momentous first meeting in 1519 between Montezuma, the ruler of the vast Aztec Empire, and the Spanish conquistador Hernán Cortés. To find out more about Malintzin and her role in Mexican history and culture Nuala is joined by Dr Elizabeth Baquedano, from the Institute of Archaeology at University College London and Dr Jessica Fernández de Lara Harada from the University of Oxford.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
Joseph Sternberg Joseph Sternberg analyzes the BBC political bias scandal, which is significant because the BBC is "omnipresent" and arranges the "mental furniture for British society," noting the BBC, funded largely by a mandatory license fee, faced allegations ranging from deceptive editing of President Trump's remarks to the Arabic service pushing Hamas propaganda potentially fueling anti-Semitism, while domestically discussing the UK Labour Party's dilemma over controversial immigration policies to control illegal channel crossings, a crisis that has strengthened Nigel Farage's Reform party.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with UC Berkeley Professor Ussama Makdisi, who was recently informed that UC Berkeley shared his name, along with those of 159 other Berkeley faculty & students, with the federal government for "alleged incidents of antisemitism." Peter & Ussama discuss the absurdity of experience -- the accused have not been informed of any details of the allegations against them -- while looking at why UC Berkeley is not defending its faculty and students, how the Berkeley experience compares with how other universities have capitulated to the Trump administration, and whether academic freedom on campus will survive. Most urgently, they discuss how the attacks on universities are meant to distract from the genocide Israel is carrying out right now against Palestinians. Resources on this topic include "UC Berkeley shares 160 names with Trump administration in ‘McCarthy era' move," The Guardian 9/12/25; "UC Berkeley professor warns of 'unprecedented crackdown' on academic freedom."

ttps://x.com/GreshamCollege Watch the Q&A session here: https://youtu.be/tv554JY9TPUIn 1588, the young Galileo delivered some lectures that were impressive enough to secure him a mathematics professorship at the University of Pisa. His subject? The geometry of Dante's Inferno. In this lecture we'll look at some of Galileo's deductions, and how the questions raised may have influenced his later mathematical research. Using this and other examples of creative work in mathematics that crosses our modern ideas of subject boundaries, I will argue that thinking across disciplines is not only intellectually exciting but academically vital.This Annual Provost's Lecture was recorded by Sarah Hart on June 18th 2025 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.Sarah Hart was the first woman Professor of Geometry at Gresham College, and Acting Provost between March and October 2025. She is also Professor Emerita of Mathematics at Birkbeck, University of London.Professor Hart studied at Oxford and Manchester, gaining her PhD in 2000. Postdoctoral research and teaching followed, including a prestigious Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council Fellowship, before she was appointed to a lectureship at Birkbeck in 2004. She became Professor of Mathematics there in 2013, and served in various management roles including as Head of Mathematics and Statistics, Assistant Dean, and Programme Director for the MSc Mathematics.Her academic publications have been mainly in the area of pure mathematics known as group theory, which has many applications both inside and outside of mathematics, for example in coding theory and cryptography. She is actively involved in the British Society for the History of Mathematics, and has served a three-year term as President of the Society from 2021-2023.The transcript of the lecture is available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/galileos-journey-underworld-case-interdisciplinary-thinkingGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

The Cinematography Podcast Episode 319: Christopher Ross, BSC The Peacock series The Day of the Jackal, a modern update of the film and novel, is an exhilarating cat-and-mouse thriller. It follows a charismatic, lethal assassin known only as the Jackal (Eddie Redmayne) and the determined MI6 agent, Bianca Pullman (Lashana Lynch), who is on his trail. Cinematographer Christopher Ross, BSC, has earned an Emmy nomination for the show's first episode. He collaborated with director Brian Kirk to craft the series' distinctive visual language. Chris and Kirk wanted to transform the 1970s source material into a contemporary, slick thriller centered on deception. To visually convey this subjective reality, Chris used a range of cinematic techniques, including lens aberrations, smoke filters, and a blend of precise and unpredictable camera movement. "If you know how you want your audience to feel, then you can reverse engineer the imagery to force that emotion," Chris says. His approach leans toward a more chaotic and naturalistic style rather than a traditionally elevated, polished look. A central challenge was to make the audience feel connected to both the Jackal and Bianca, a narrative where the roles of "cat" and "mouse" constantly shift. Chris explains, “How do we make a modern slick thriller with a dual protagonist, a cat and mouse drama where the cat and the mouse change places? We wanted the imagery to be playful and light-footed, like a magic trick, and to not necessarily be instantly decipherable.” Chris drew inspiration from 1970s thrillers such as Klute, The Parallax View, and Three Days of the Condor to inform the show's visual style. ARRI ALPHA anamorphic lenses created a wide frame for a strong sense of connection with the characters. He customized the lenses to produce an exaggerated square bokeh around the frame. It symbolized the compartmentalization within the characters' lives, reinforcing the theme of hidden realities. The Emmy-nominated first episode features a complex, two-minute opening shot—or "oner"—that required extensive preparation. Chris and Kirk meticulously planned the scene to capture all the essential details as the camera follows the Jackal through an apartment. During the shoot, the production team performed a synchronized dance of moving doors and walls, all timed with Redmayne's performance.“It was one of the best, most interesting oners that I've ever been fortunate enough to construct with a director,” says Chris. “The frame changes so often, the storytelling is as frequent as if you were editing.” Christopher Ross, BSC is also the President of the British Society of Cinematographers, an organization that promotes the art and craft of cinematography in the UK and internationally.

In this episode of Occupied Thoughts, FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with UC Berkeley History Professor Ussama Makdisi, who was personally named and targeted by Members of Congress in the recent House of Representatives hearing ostensibly on antisemitism in higher education. Beinart and Makdisi discuss the "surreal" experience of being denounced in Congress as well as the truth and power of the widespread mobilization of people from a wide range of backgrounds, faiths, and generations calling for justice and an end to the genocide in Gaza. They also discuss the long and relatively under-researched history of interconnections among Muslims, Christians, and Jewish communities in the Middle East, the importance of reading history, and the shocking brutality of the genocide in Gaza. As they close their conversation, Makdisi asserts that the urgent and essential task is to make sense of the world in terms that "humanize rather than dehumanize, historicize rather than dehistoricize, advocate for justice and equality rather than ethno-religious supremacy of any sort." Dr. Ussama Makdisi is Professor of History and Chancellor's Chair at the University of California Berkeley. He was previously Professor of History and the first holder of the Arab-American Educational Foundation Chair of Arab Studies at Rice University in Houston. During AY 2019-2020, Professor Makdisi was a Visiting Professor at the University of California at Berkeley in the Department of History.

Back in Episode #401, we reported promising results from a Phase 2 clinical trial for vidofludimus calcium and its impact on progressive MS. This therapy is being developed by Immunic Therapeutics, and this week, Jason Tardio, Immunic's President and Chief Operating Officer, joins me to share some of the specifics of that clinical trial. Jason will also shed light on why Immunic believes that vidofludimus calcium goes beyond merely slowing disability, potentially offering vital neuroprotection for MS patients, making it a potential game-changer. We're also sharing the encouraging results from a study that focused on the efficacy of neural stem cell transplantation as a remyelination therapy. We'll tell you about a study in the U.K. that measured disability progression among people with MS five years after undergoing autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT). You'll learn about an AI tool that can predict whether someone living with MS is likely to experience progression independent of relapse activity (PIRA) with a high degree of accuracy. We'll tell you where you can catch the International Progressive MS Alliance webcast featuring a panel of experts discussing the future role of digital tools in MS research.

He unpacks how good intentions gave way to segregation, silence, and parallel societies—where shared values are eroded and tough questions are avoided in the name of tolerance.Phillips tackle the failures of the political class, the limits of diversity policy, and the dangers of importing American-style race politics into the British context.All this—identity, immigration, institutional fear, and the reckoning facing a nation that's lost faith in its own story…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters 00:00 Introduction of Sir Trevor Phillips and His Book 3:57 Personal Links to the Windrush Story 9:07 The Windrush Generation's Ambition and Determination 11:07 Challenges and Misconceptions About Immigrants 17:20 The Impact of the Windrush Generation on British Society 33:21 The Role of Education and Social Discrimination 39:35 The Evolution of British Identity and Tolerance 49:45 The Challenges of Modern Immigration and Integration57:29 The Importance of Legal Immigration and Integration Efforts 1:07:50 The Legacy of the Windrush Generation Hosted on Acast.

As congregations age and dwindle, what are we to make of the decline of Christianity in England? Bijan Omrani argues that Christianity has had a profound and ongoing impact on English society, laws and culture. In his new book, God is an Englishman, he makes the case for the things we stand to lose as a nation as Christianity loses its hold on our hearts and minds. In Don't Forget We're Here Forever, Lamorna Ash talks to those bucking the trend: the young people discovering Christianity. She considers various encounters with faith from evangelical festivals to monastic retreats and Quaker meetings. Through interviews she explores what it means to embrace Christianity today. Dr Helen-Ann Hartley is the Bishop of Newcastle who has led calls for reform, as the Church of England has been mired in safeguarding scandals. She believes that the Anglican church still has a vital role to play supporting communities, offering a lifeline to the lonely, the homeless, those living with mental illness, and welcoming those of all faiths and none. In order to play its full role in the modern world, she wants to see the church modernised and its governance overhauled. Producer: Ruth Watts
Reflecting on the experiences we value most, many that come to mind are those we share with others. Consider the strangers we sit alongside at the football, the romantic partners who share (or endure) our favourite television shows, the friends with whom we dance through the early morning hours. Despite the growing ease of on-demand, private aesthetic experiences, we find ourselves carving out time for public ones. But why? In this episode, we'll be discussing the nature of interpersonal aesthetic experience with Dr Harry Drummond, Teacher in the Department of Continuing Education at the University of Liverpool. Co-editor of the British Society of Aesthetics' journal Debates in Aesthetics, and editorial assistant for the British Journal of Aesthetics, Dr Drummond's work sits at the intersection of aesthetics, psychology, and the philosophy of mind. For Drummond, the presence of others amplifies, redirects, and even unlocks experiences that wouldn't be available to us alone. We read each other's cues, share reactions, and create meaning together in ways that are subtle but profound. The silence of a cinema, the synchronised movement of a dance floor, the shared laughter at a comedy show – these are not just personal experiences but collective ones, shaped and enriched by the presence of others.
