On Episode 333 of The AwardsWatch Podcast, Associate Editor Sophia Ciminello is joined by Editor-In-Chief Erik Anderson, Executive Editor Ryan McQuade and AW contributors Josh Parham and Dan Bayer out on the wily, windy moors to discuss Emerald Fennell's third feature, "Wuthering Heights," starring Margot Robbie, Jacob Elordi, Alison Oliver, Shazad Latif, and Hong Chau. The adaptation of Emily Brontë's groundbreaking 1847 Gothic novel has already caused quite the stir, but is this an adaptation that they cannot live without or one that drives them mad? The team discusses Fennell's vision, their favorite performances, the changes made from book to screen, the movie's eroticism, and more. Then, the gang previews the 79th British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) taking place next Saturday, February 22. Will it be one award after another for our nomination leader, One Battle After Another? How will the Brits respond to Chloé Zhao's spin on Shakespeare? We break it all down.

Many of the 5.8 million Brits who took out a Plan 2 student loan over the past decade are now facing astonishing levels of debt, and the government's latest salary threshold freeze will nudge more graduates into repaying more than ever. So, is it high time the system had a shake up?In this episode, host Tamara Kormornick speaks to The Standard's editor of the Londoner's Diary and features writer, Claudia Cockerell, to discuss recent controversies around the student loans system, and untangle the soaring interest rate levels on repayment plans. Plus, Tamara speaks to the founder of Rethink Repayment, Oliver Gardner, who is calling on the government to reform student loan repayment plans to make the system work better for graduates — and the economy.

This is the latest in my series of podcasts explaining how economics works in the credit crunch and now virus pandemic era. This week I give my thoughts on I'm beginning to really worry (not sure I'd say fear yet) about stagflation in the UK. Be interested in your thoughts.? Brits spend approx three times as much on food and non alcoholic drinks at home than they do on eating out. So why does the ONS weight restaurants and hotels higher in the inflation basket? Why are UK 10 year bond prices so low, 4.46% today, within the last year they have been as high as 4.8/4.9. Debt up, spending up, taxes up, so why the improvement?

Bryan Boling sits down for a spoiler-free chat with novelist Michael Idov, diving into The Cormorant Hunt, the standalone sequel to his acclaimed spy thriller The Collaborators. Idov discusses the challenge of writing a compelling antagonist in Felix Burnham—a fusion of Jordan Peterson and Andrew Tate who pushes protagonist Ari Falk to his limits. They explore how real-world extremism, post-COVID paranoia, and disinformation influence modern spy fiction, and why setting stories in overlooked global locales adds authenticity. From the Reichsbürger to action-packed drone chases in Georgia (the country), Idov breaks down how topical fiction is crafted under the ticking clock of world events. Michael also shared some news about an upcoming spy thriller film he is directing with Noomi Rapace in the lead. Good news for the Brits, The Cormorant Hunt is scheduled to be released in the UK in May.
If it's escaped your attention that there's a Winter Olympics getting underway at the end of the week, it might be because you think us Brits aren't much cop at all that cold stuff. Think again, say former GB snowboarder turned TNT Sports pundit, Aimee Fuller, and Chief Exec of GB Snowsport, Vicky Gosling. With the pair hoping for a huge uptick in Team GB's fortunes at the upcoming Milano Cortina 2026, Jen caught up with them to chat about the remarkable turnaround in our British team's fortunes since Beijing in 2022, whether or not it's good to be an underdog, and the TNT Sports documentary She Who Dares.

In this episode, I'm reflecting on the idea that it's never too late to begin again—especially when it comes to our homes. After returning from a deeply inspiring trip to London, where I was immersed in British craftsmanship and design culture, I found myself thinking about how differently we approach decorating in the UK versus the US. The British emphasis on creativity, comfort, patina, and lived-in beauty feels closely aligned with my slow style philosophy, especially when contrasted with America's fixation on trends, perfection, and convenience. I explore how our fear of imperfection and maintenance has quietly shaped our choices, often pulling us away from natural materials, meaningful objects, and the joy of caring for what we own. To bring these ideas into practice, I invite you to step away from algorithms and quick fixes and instead create a tangible, real-life vision board for your home—one rooted in personal experience, inspiration, and the kind of life you want to live there.Download the free guide to Define Your Signature StyleBuy the book, "Slow Style Home"Learn more at our website Want to finally define your style?

A movie turned into a mirror. In this late-night episode, I unpack love, logic, loyalty, and what it really means to protect yourself. From identity to relationships, this is a 4AM conversation about choosing peace over chaos, even when your heart disagrees.
Europeans have been sharply critical of President Trump for his insistence that U.S. security requires actual ownership of Greenland. Formerly Great Britain is, however, giving everyone an object lesson on why that's so. The UK's hard-left Prime Minister Keir Starmer is currently in Beijing negotiating a new “strategic partnership” with Communist China. Simultaneously, he's seeking parliamentary approval to surrender British sovereignty over – and, inevitably, U.S. use of – Diego Garcia, a strategically vital base in the Indian Ocean. The Chinese would be the principal beneficiary of such a betrayal, and probably ultimately the inheritors of that base, as they were Afghanistan's Bagram. The President has rightly called Starmer's sellout on Diego Garcia an act of “great stupidity.” He must now inform the Brits that the United States formally rejects the deal and will take ownership of the island if they relinquish it. This is Frank Gaffney.
Gigi Salmon and Russell Fuller are joined by Annabel Croft and Pat Cash as they review the semi-finals of the women's singles at the Australian Open. Aryna Sabalenka beat Elina Svitolina to reach her fourth Australian Open final in a row, whilst Elena Rybakina beat Jessica Pegula in straight sets to end her three year long wait for a Grand Slam final and to set up a rematch of the 2023 final.They also discuss the odd incident where the umpire called hindrance on Sabalenka during the first set, whether Serena Williams is teasing a comeback and Neal Skupski keeping the flag waving for the Brits as he makes it to the men's doubles final in Melbourne.1:00 - Why so many straight sets matches? 3:00 - Elena Rybakina makes her first final in three years 7:00 - Sabalenka makes her seventh consecutive hard court Grand Slam final 9:00 - Sabalenka hindrance incident 12:30 - Sabalenka gives her thoughts on the hindrance call 15:50 - Will Serena Williams make a comeback? 19:45 - Neal Skupski into doubles final

STARMER and LABOUR treat us with complete disdain! #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Starmer #Labour #RachelReeves #China #illegalmigration #pubs The dictionary definition of DISDAIN is a feeling of contempt for someone or something regarded as unworthy or inferior : scorn. Well that sums up LABOUR and STARMER'S attitude to the majority of working class Brits doesn't it? Consider their attitude to the following: Flag controversies Ignore our concerns about mass uncontrolled illegal migration Make us wait for weeks for pub deal and its a damp squib and Rachel Reeeves didn't even present it in Commons today, she sent along a sixth form work experience boy! What a coincidence that Starmer has gone to China on this day? Putting our war heroes from Northern Ireland in court Diversity for all except white working class Ed Miliband green cobblers is like a church curate he knows what is best for us Chagos give away-don't get me started. Andy Burnham not being allowed to stand as an MP to save Starmer's neck. Using our cash to fight for human rights of flip flop warriors Do I need to go on?! As I say DISDAIN is a feeling of contempt for someone or something regarded as unworthy or inferior. They simply don't care what we think or say. Maybe a General Strike is only way to make them listen? #JonGaunt #JonGauntTV #Starmer #Labour #RachelReeves #China #illegalmigration #pubs JonGaunt, JonGauntTV, Starmer, Labour, RachelReeves, China, illegalmigration, pubs, This is political blogging and hard-hitting social commentary from Triple Sony Gold Award-winning talk radio legend, Jon Gaunt — former host on BBC, Talk Radio, and Sky News. On Jon Gaunt TV, we cut through the noise and say what others won't. No political correctness. No censorship. Just real conversations that matter.
Is the special relationship done? The question of whether the longstanding and unique bond between the United States and Britain is now toast arises as the U.K.'s hard left government prepares to unilaterally disarm not only itself, but America, as well. That would be the practical effect of one of history's worst international agreements. Pursuant to a “deal” awaiting parliamentary approval in London, the British government would pay billions of dollars to the Chinese Communist-tied African nation of Mauritius to imperil the U.S. military's essential use of the Indian Ocean island base called Diego Garcia over 1200 miles away. Worse yet, if the Brits miss even a single payment, Mauritius can terminate their lease. President Trump has correctly described this deal as an act of “GREAT STUPIDITY.” Parliament must repudiate it, or bid farewell to the special relationship. This is Frank Gaffney.

Forestry experts are warning that the UK needs to plant more trees for timber. We import around 80% of the timber we use, but there are fears of a shortage of wood for house building, pallets or fencing if more conifer plantations aren't created. MPs on the all party group on forestry are discussing the issue. We speak to the industry body Confor which says we can grow they type of wood we need.Feijoas are a popular fruit in New Zealand but a bit of a mystery to most Brits. The fruit isn't really imported and until now it wasn't grown here. Well, that changed when a New Zealander in Sussex had an idea. We meet the couple behind a new growing enterprise.All week we're focusing on sustainability in farming, whether that's from an environmental point of view, resilience in supply chains or from a financial perspective. Farming is seasonal and unpredictable, which can make it hard to plan financially - veg growers for example find it hard to predict how much they'll earn from one month to the next. Margins are tight and prices don't necessarily reflect the cost of production. We speak to a producer and campaigner who's part of a cooperative which would like to see a basic income for all farmers.Presenter = Charlotte Smith Producer = Rebecca Rooney

Long time, no see. It's been a while. Isi [0:29]I think we said we leave this welcome. Mitch [0:34]I'm still petitioning for it. Isi [0:37]Okay, hello. Mitch [0:40]So, today we're back in Brighton, from Münster. And as we've come over, I've already started noticing certain things, that us Brits do quite differently to the rest of Europe. And, one thing that we do, which is probably useful for you guys, whether you are coming to the UK as a tourist, whether you want to move to the UK, or maybe you're just working for a company and there are certain Brits there, maybe your boss is a British person, or your colleagues. Or maybe you just want to... - Your boss. - Your a boss. Isi [1:18]Your boss is a British person. That sounded a bit like, intimidating. Mitch [1:20]Yeah exactly Isi [1:22]But don't be. British bosses, hopefully, are all nice. Mitch [1:25]Well, funny you say that. Because, maybe your boss says certain things and the reaction or action, afterwards, is very different from what they're saying. Isi, you bring this up quite a lot, that Brits like to say things, which don't exactly reflect what they mean.

New passport rules for Brits living in New Zealand are causing some angst. Dual nationals will now be required to have a UK passport to enter their home country and can no longer rely on an electronic travel authorisation. Managing Director and Immigration Lawyer at Queen City Law, Marcus Beveridge, told Mike Hosking the UK Government is pulling their socks up on security. He says they will have a better idea of who is crossing the border, all of which has biometric and biographic and contact details attached to it.

The nominees for the BRIT Awards 2026 have been revealed and, in their signature chaotic fashion, Annie and Nick analyse the lists of names and ask: will Olivia Dean and Lola Young reign supreme? Could any moment rival Jarvis Cocker mooning Michael Jackson in 1996? And will Harry Styles perform his new music at the ceremony? Plus, Sidetracked favourite Jacob Alon has won the Critics' Choice Award – and Annie and Nick have big feelings about it. Elsewhere, the Japanese PM has gone viral for her heavy metal drumming – should more world leaders use music in meetings with their peers? And Mitski is back with a brilliant new single; Lily Allen has shared the best response to Brooklyn Beckham's explosive Instagram Stories statement, and Nick isn't sure about Heated Rivalry.Get in touch with Annie and Nick!

Hello and welcome back to another episode of Trve. Cvlt. Pop!, it's basically pop music.On this week's show Steve and Gaz decide to dive deep into the back catalogues of some of their collective favourite artists and pull out a couple of songs that deserve far more love; from The Smashing Pumpkins to AC/DC, via Prince, Daft Punk, Jimmy Eat World and Helmet, we give you some lost, forgotten and unloved gems.Plus there is a lost pop banger from Ja Rule, who got in on the love for Toto very early and was then bullied out of the music scene for it, chat about the mad support artists that Harry Style is bringing out with him this summer and we try and make sense of the BRIT Award's nominees... and fail.
So said a client of mine from the UK who recently visited us in Morocco, referring to some 'Muzlamik' folks who are taking a kind of moral superiority in their decision to leave the UK. Now, look… I get the attraction. Sun. Beaches. All kinds of entertainment. All forms of attractions. It's a land perfectly designed to entertain Brits. Oh… and it's all halal.
In het huizenblok van middelgrote West-Afrikaanse kustlanden is er één raam totaal aan diggelen geschoten. Het is de kustlijn van Guinee-Bissau, het land waar alles slingert en meandert. Helaas ook de politiek. In dit land, waar geen weg recht is, rijdt ook menig politicus regelmatig een scheve schaats. Maar hoe spannend is dit land verder? Deze oud-Portugese enclave in een Brits en Frans taalgebied? Hebben ze nog wat beroemdheden voortgebracht die groter zijn dan hun land? En kunnen we producten in de winkel tegenkomen die van Bissause makelij zijn? Het antwoord is: jazeker. In alle hoofdstukjes zit er wel eentje. Mag jij bepalen welke je het meest dierbaar is.
Bec's back for 2026 and as we're working up an exciting meaty topic we decided to take it a little lighter to start with (kind of!) as Justin & Bec react to the official theatrical trailer for EPiC, then take a look back at a UK-exclusive Camden released in 1975 entitled "The U.S. Male." Featuring a "greatest hits" of sorts from several other prior Camden compilations, this unusual release from within Elvis's lifetime was a gateway into Elvis's music for numerous Brits, but does it cohere and hold up? And can the duo come up with tracklists that better suit the "US Male" theme? For Song of the Week, both hosts highlight gospel numbers, with Bec swinging in with "Somebody Bigger Than You and I" off the "How Great Thou Art Album" which overlaps Elvis's long affection for music originally by Bill Kenny & The Ink Spots and his love of spirituals. Then, Justin tells of the inspirations behind "Peace in the Valley," how Thomas A. Dorsey came to write it, and the world events which led to Elvis's performance of the song on the Ed Sullivan show (and subsequent recording) in 1957.

Day 1 of the Australian Open is in the books, a record day at Melbourne Park as more than 100,000 ticketholders streamed through the gates. The headlines were... - Qualifier Zeynep Sonmez pulled off the biggest win of her career by knocking out No 11 seed Ekaterina Alexandrova - Ukrainians Dayana Yastremksa and Marta Kostyuk both also suffered first-round defeats as three WTA seeds fell on Day 1 - Arthur Fery knocked out the only men's seed to lose on Sunday, although Flavio Cobolli called the doctor after one game because of illness and was clearly short of his best - Emma Raducanu looked like she was in trouble against Mananchaya Sawangkaew but saved break points at 1-3 down and lost two more games in the entire match.

As the world watches events in Iran, and wonders whether the US will intervene, the Spectator's cover this week examines 'British complicity in Tehran's terror'. When thinking about what could happen next in the crisis, there is a false dichotomy presented between regime survival and revolution; the reality is more complicated, though there is no doubt that this is the biggest threat to the theocratic regime in decades. For this week's Edition, host Lara Prendergast is joined by political editor Tim Shipman, columnist Rachel Johnson and features editor – and Edition co-host – William Moore. They commend the bravery of Iran's protestors but criticise the ‘inept, naive and wrong' response of the Foreign Office. Are some Brits proving to be Iran's ‘useful idiots'? As well as the crisis in the Middle East, they discuss: whether the Starmer administration should be considered Gordon Brown's second term; the growing obsession with race in Britain – particularly by the right; Rachel's reflections on her travels to the US – from transatlantic cruise liners to partying with our former colleague Katy Balls; why some men lament the loss of their libido; and finally, the controversy over Elon Musk's AI tool ‘Grok'. Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

The Pitt returns to take viewers through another remarkably busy day in the ER at Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center. What is there to celebrate in the show's fictional Fourth of July? Heather Cocks, our S01 guest, returns to talk about it. Around The Dial takes us through a passel of recent comedy specials from George Civeris, Kumail Nanjiani, Frankie Quiñones, and Sarah Squirm (aka Sarah Sherman); Heated Rivalry creator Jacob Tierney's previous hockey show, Shoresy; and Bookish, old to Brits but new to PBS.
