It's not something we like to dwell on too often, but the chance for each of us getting some kind of cancer during our lifetime is significant. After all, it's the second leading cause of death worldwide according to the World Health Organisation, just behind heart disease. Cancer Research UK puts the estimated lifetime risk of a man or woman getting cancer at nearly one in two. Research has shown the extent to which cancer cases have been growing in recent decades. And not just among the elderly. A study published in BMJ Oncology in September 2023 showed that there had been a “striking” 79% increase in new early-onset cancer cases from 1990-2019. Early-onset is a term used to describe cancer in the under-50s. Why is that then? Isn't it normal for cancer deaths to increase as the global population grows? Is the situation the same everywhere in the world? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions! To listen to the latest episodes, click here: What are the latest advances in lung cancer treatment?

The number of moles we have on our bodies largely depends on sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Most people have 10 to 45 moles that appear during childhood and the teenage years.” Moles can vary in thickness, shape, colour, and they sometimes even have hair. They can pop up between your toes, on your scalp, on your earlobes or under your nails-anywhere really. Rest assured, most of the time these small brown spots are completely harmless, but still it's worth knowing some key info about moles. That's especially true given they can sometimes be cancerous, turning into a type of skin cancer called melanoma. According to Cancer Research UK, “there are around 16,700 new melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK every year.” What are moles actually made of ? Which genetic factors are at play then ? How can you tell if a mole is dangerous ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Something about homeopathy that often gets questioned begins to make more sense when you hear it through the lens of science, and that's exactly what this conversation with Dr. Alex Tournier brings into focus. Alex shares how his journey started during a struggle with chronic fatigue, when a simple homeopathic remedy led to a surprising recovery and sparked his curiosity. With his background in physics, he explains the role of water, its unique properties, and how it may store and transmit information through oscillatory patterns. We also talk about the skepticism around homeopathy, the importance of experimental evidence across biological systems, and the ongoing work at Homeopathic Research Institute to build a stronger scientific dialogue. It's a grounded, thoughtful conversation that invites a more open-minded look at how homeopathy might work. Episode Highlights: 05:05 - Dr. Alex Tournier's Background and Journey into Homeopathy 10:52 - The Role of Water in Homeopathy 12:05 - Exploring Homeopathy's Mechanism of Action 18:04 - Quantum Electrodynamics and Water Properties 24:41 - Oscillatory Patterns and Biological Interaction 30:49 - Challenges in Homeopathy Research 35:36 - Consciousness and Field Effects in Homeopathy 40:14 - The Homeopathic Research Institute (HRI) Overview 44:38 - Thoughts on Skepticism and Open-Mindedness About my Guests: Dr. Alexander Tournier is a physicist and interdisciplinary researcher known for his work in the biophysics of water and complementary medicine research. He studied physics at Imperial College London and later pursued advanced theoretical physics at University of Cambridge. He completed his PhD in biophysics at University of Heidelberg, where his research focused on water-protein interactions and the physical properties of water in biological systems. Following his academic training, Dr. Tournier spent about a decade working with Cancer Research UK, conducting interdisciplinary research that applied physics and mathematics to biological questions. His work during this period strengthened his interest in understanding complex biological systems and the role that water plays in living organisms. In 2007, he founded the Homeopathy Research Institute, an international organization dedicated to promoting scientific research in homeopathy and complementary medicine. He later became a scientific collaborator at the University of Bern, where he continues to explore the physics of water and its possible relevance to biology and medicine.

After having four inches of his manhood removed in a drastic surgery to save his life, Steven Hamill feared he would never fulfil his dream of being a father. The 33-year-old food industry worker was diagnosed with penile cancer in April 2019, after suffering a raft of distressing symptoms. Steven first visited his GP in March that year complaining of pain and swelling in his genitals, and was diagnosed with balanitis – inflammation of the head of the penis that can be caused by infection or irritation. He was sent home with a topical cream. But after developing worsening, intense pain coupled with an extremely unpleasant odour, Steven was rushed to A&E after fainting and waking in a pool of his own blood. There, doctors gave him the devastating diagnosis: penile cancer, advanced enough to require a partial amputation. Steven was terrified. 'Every time I went to bed I would think, 'is this the night I'm going to die? Will I see next week? Should I make plans for next week?',' he said. Today, however, Steven is cancer-free, and the proud dad of a four-year-old boy. And despite the taboo nature of his cancer, he has taken the brave step to go public – in a bid to raise awareness of the symptoms and encourage men not to delay seeking help. 'I was really lucky that even after I had four inches removed it left me with around four inches,' Steven says. 'So it's still fully functional and working.' Around 700 men are diagnosed with penile cancer in Britain each year – the disease most commonly occurs in men over the age of 50. A significant proportion of cases are thought to be preventable. Cancer Research UK estimates more than 60 per cent are linked to known risk factors, including infection with certain strains of human papillomavirus (HPV), smoking, and chronic inflammatory skin conditions such as lichen sclerosus. The disease is notoriously hard to spot because symptoms can easily be mistaken for less serious problems, which men are often too embarrassed to talk about. As a result, late diagnosis is increasingly common, with many men ignoring early warning signs – which can, as in Steven's case, result in amputation.  Of men diagnosed early, however, more than 90 per cent survive at least five years after diagnosis. Major risk factors include smoking, not being circumcised, a weakened immune system and older age. Symptoms include a growth, lump or sore that does not heal within four weeks, a rash, bleeding, abnormal discharge, as well as unexplained weight loss, extreme fatigue and abdominal pain. #therealstevenstories #stevenhamill #timetotalkaustralia www.patreon.com/timetotalkaustralia

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Pamela Ling, University of California San Francisco. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Pamela Ling, Professor of Medicine and Director of the Center for Tobacco Control Research and Education at the University of California San Francisco. In the March 2026 podcast Pamela Ling talks to Nicola Lindson about her newly published study that recruited approximately 500 13 to 21 year olds to test whether Instagram support groups can help people to quit vaping compared to referral to a quitline. This randomized clinical study was funded by the UCSF Helen Diller Comprehensive Cancer Center and the Tobacco-Related Diseases Research Program and is published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine. The intervention, Instagram direct message support groups, was delivered over 5 weeks and involved motivational interviewing, social support, skill building, and group quit attempts. The control group was referral to Quitline in California, the resources for this included telephone, online, texting or mobile app. Pam Ling's study found that social media support groups were acceptable to adolescents and young adults and improved abstinence rates on average over 6 months compared to quitline referral. Pam Ling discusses the finding that social media platforms may be a useful way to deliver social supports for nicotine vaping cessation that is accessible and utilised by young people.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Jodi Gilman, Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Jodi Gilman, Associate Professor of Psychology in the Department of Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital. In the February 2026 podcast Jodi Gilman talks about their secondary analysis of a randomised clinical trial looking at cannabis use and nicotine vaping cessation outcomes among adolescents and young adults. Participants were 16 to 25 and reported vaping nicotine regularly and did not smoke tobacco. The full study assessed the efficacy of varenicline for nicotine vaping cessation. For more detail on the parent trial listen to the interview with Eden Evins in the April 2025 podcast. Jodi Gilman discusses the finding that, among adolescents and young adults attempting to reduce or stop nicotine vaping, baseline cannabis use was not associated with nicotine vaping abstinence. Varenicline was helpful for nicotine vaping cessation regardless of cannabis use. This finding indicates that co-use of cannabis may not be a barrier to successful nicotine vaping cessation treatment.

New research which has just been published in the British Medical Journal, suggests that testing menstrual blood for signs of cervical cancer could be an accurate way of screening for the disease. The BBC's Health Correspondent, Sophie Hutchinson, and Fiona Osgun, Head of Health information at Cancer Research UK join Anita Rani to talk about this new area of research and discuss the options currently open to women. English actor Imogen Poots is back on our screens taking on a challenging role in Kristen Stewart's first feature film, The Chronology of Water. It's a creative adaptation of an acclaimed memoir by American writer Lidia Yuknavitch which centres on her coming to terms with being abused as a child, battling pain and loss, and her ongoing healing journey. Imogen Poots joins Anita in the studio.The Kurdish-led self-administration in the north east of Syria is a territory where for years women have sat at the centre of political life, security and decision-making. But many are worried that the system is now under pressure following a new agreement between Kurdish authorities and the Syrian government, which will integrate the region into the Syrian state being rebuilt after the toppling of Bashar al-Assad in 2024. Anita is joined by Lina Shaikhouni, journalist at the BBC World Service and Dilar Dirik, Kurdish writer and author of The Kurdish Women's Movement: History, Theory, Practice.Paula Varjack talks to Anita about her show Nine Sixteenths. It examines the fallout from the infamous Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake ‘wardrobe malfunction' incident at the 2004 Superbowl and the backlash that almost ruined Jackson's career.

Half of us will develop cancer at some point in our lives, according to Cancer Research UK. And the speed of a diagnosis can often be the difference between life and death. Just a one-month delay can raise the risk of death by up to 10%. Yet in England, almost a third of cancer patients wait more than two months to start treatment after an urgent GP referral - twice as many as the target and a trend that's getting worse. As the Westminster government prepares to publish its new 10-year cancer plan - what can we learn from elsewhere in the world? In Denmark, for example, cancer waiting lists have virtually been eliminated and survival rates are rocketing. Niall speaks to Sky's health correspondent Ashish Joshi and Jesper Fisker from the Danish Cancer Society. Producer: Natalie Ktena & Sam Gruet Editor: Mike Bovill

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Elly Leavens, University of Kansas Medical Center, USA. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr. Elly Leavens, Assistant Professor in the Department of Population Health at the University of Kansas Medical Center. In the November 2025 podcast Elly Leavens talks about her recent pilot trial published in Frontiers in Public Health, called 'E-cigarette puff topography instruction to enhance switching among COPD patients who smoke'. This pilot study was supported by funds from the Cancer Prevention and Control Program within the University of Kansas Cancer Center, as well as by the National Cancer Institute. The 46 participants who smoked and had chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) completed a 12-week e-cigarette switching trial in which they were randomized to brief advice or low intensity, or high-intensity puffing topography training. Elly Leavens and colleagues found that e-cigarettes had potential to minimize harm in COPD patients who smoke, but that, puff topography training did not change switch success or reduction in cigarette smoking as compared to the brief advice to switch.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Justin Strickland, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Justin Strickland, Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Behavioral Pharmacology Research Unit, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. In the October 2025 podcast Justin Strickland talks about his work on e-cigarette withdrawal syndrome presented at the 13th Annual Vermont Center on Behavior and Health Conference, held in Vermont, USA. Justin is a behavioural pharmacologist working with substance use and substance use disorder. His research applies behavioural economic methods to evaluate choice and decision-making mechanisms that may underlie substance use and identify targets for their reduction. Justin begins by describing behavioral economics and how our environment and context shape the decisions we make, for example, how the cost of goods can influence patterns of consumption. As a relatively new class of products less is known about e-cigarette withdrawal than tobacco withdrawal syndrome. Justin describes his ongoing study of e-cigarette withdrawal syndrome among people who have exclusively used e-cigarettes. Participants stay in a residential unit for one week, where their behaviour, physiology and other measures, including their nicotine clearance, are measured. Preliminary findings indicate that participants do experience withdrawal to e-cigarettes, for example cravings that reduce over time. Looking to the future he calls for longer-term trials to observe behaviour and to explore predictors of complete cessation. Such research could inform the development of more effective behavioral interventions or pharmacological treatments to support individuals experiencing e-cigarette withdrawal.

First: who has the Home Secretary got in her sights?Political editor Tim Shipman profiles Shabana Mahmood in the Spectator's cover article this week. Given Keir Starmer's dismal approval ratings, politicos are consumed by gossip about who could be his heir-apparent – even more so, following Angela Rayner's defenestration a few weeks ago. Mahmood may not be the most high-profile of the Starmer movement, but she is now talked about alongside Wes Streeting and Andy Burnham as a potential successor to Starmer.But – it all depends on what she can achieve at the Home Office.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Ryan Courtney from the University of New South Wales, Australia. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Associate Professor Ryan Courtney from the National Drug and Alcohol Research Centre, University of New South Wales, Sydney, Australia In the September podcast Ryan Courtney talks about his recent randomised controlled trial looking at vaporised nicotine products (VNP, e-cigarettes) compared to nicotine replacement therapy (gum/ lozenges) for smoking cessation among people experiencing social disadvantage. This study was funded by Australian National Health and Medical Research Council and included 1045 people at the start of the study with 866 people completing follow up. The verified 6-month continuous abstinence rate was 28.4% (148 of 522) in the e-cigarette group and 9.6% (50 of 523) in the NRT group. Their findings indicate that e-cigarettes are more effective than NRT for smoking cessation in this population. Given the challenges for cessation among these socially disadvantaged populations, the authors of the study consider that e-cigarettes present a promising treatment option for this priority group. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches.

Figures from Cancer Research UK show that there are an average of nearly 57,000 new breast cancer cases detected each year in the country. It's the most common form of cancer, accounting for 15% of all cases. While the vast majority of breast cancer cases are in women, there are actually around 370 diagnoses in men each year too. That's right; men also have breast tissue around the nipples, so are also potentially susceptible. As we near the end of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, let's take a moment to discuss the phenomenon and raise awareness, to make sure any symptoms in men don't go overlooked. What are the symptoms men should look out for? What factors increase the risk? How is breast cancer in men treated? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

We're only three games in, Bournemouth are repeating the same process that served them so well last season, with statement signings and superb score-lines. The last three days has seen AFC Bournemouth "cruise" to a 1-0 victory over Tottenham Hotspur, before subsequently signing TWO new recruits by the way of Álex Jiménez and Veljko Milosavljević - a demonstration of the club's ability and vision to "always advance & never retreat". In this podcast, Sam and Tom discuss the weekend's victory over Spurs, ponder the state of the squad, and look at which Cherries personnel could make this period of time even sweeter by signing a contract extension!

Episode 113 sees us continue our time in Edinburgh and we go deep into the history of a structure that has seen it all. Built on volcanic rock, it's been a royal residence, a military garrison, and a prison. It has held both noble prisoners and common criminals. It's been a site of public hangings, military sieges, and brutal interrogations. From medieval torture chambers to the execution of accused witches, this single building has seen more suffering than most cities do in a century. Tonight, we take a closer look at the dark history of one of the most visited landmarks in the UK. So join me and let us ask just how haunted is Edinburgh Castle? Enormous thanks to Wayne.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Elias Klemperer from the University of Vermont, USA. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Elias Klemperer behavioural scientist and licenced clinical psychologist, Department of Psychiatry, University of Vermont, USA. Elias works in the field of tobacco regulatory science and tobacco control. He has a special interest in long-term users of both cigarettes and e-cigarettes, dual users, a group who take in nicotine via two methods. In the July podcast Elias Klemperer discusses his recent 2 × 2 factorial trial randomized trial of nicotine replacement therapy (patches and lozenges) in 396 young adult dual users aged 18–29 (DOI: 10.1093/ntr/ntaf119). In a randomized factorial trial participants are randomly placed into different groups to test more than one treatment at the same time. The study was funded by the National Institute of General Medical Sciences, the Food and Drug Administration, the National Institute on Drug Abuse, and the National Cancer Institute, USA. Elias Klemperer and his team carried out this study as little is known regarding nicotine replacement therapy for young adult dual users, or whether to recommend quitting versus continuing e-cigarettes during smoking cessation treatment. The participants received 12 weeks of combination NRT compared to no NRT for stopping smoking, plus text-based treatment recommendations to quit or to continue using e-cigarettes. This advice was delivered via written material, an animated video they developed in-house, and text message support during the 12-week treatment period. The study looked at abstinence from cigarettes at 12 and 24 weeks. Their study found that NRT was effective in promoting early smoking cessation among young adult dual users. Their secondary findings indicated that pairing NRT with support to quit both products could enhance the effects on prolonged cigarette abstinence. This podcast is a companion to the electronic cigarettes Cochrane living systematic review and Interventions for quitting vaping review and shares the evidence from the monthly searches. Our search for the EC for smoking cessation review carried out on 1st July 2025 found six papers linked studies included in the review (10.1101/2025.05.06.25327053; 10.1016/j.jacadv.2025.101833; 10.1016/j.drugalcdep.2025.112740; 10.1186/s13722-025-00575-w; 10.1038/s41598-025-03904-w; 10.1136/bmjopen-2024-098005).

In this bonus episode, I had the pleasure of chatting with the lovely Eleanor Conlon and Martin Vaux about their fantastic Three Ravens Podcast, and their brand new book, Three Ravens Folk Tales. We covered all sorts of topics, as you'll hear, including how you could win your very own signed copy of this glorious new 320-page hardback. Quite simply, it's a must-have for anyone seeking the perfect companion to explore the folklore of England's 39 historic counties. Packed with tales of ghosts, mermaids, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and more, it's an enchanting—and surprisingly hefty—addition to any bookshelf. And it could almost certainly double as a murder weapon, should the circumstances ever require it.* Check out the Three Ravens Podcast website www.threeravenspodcast.com Buy your copy of The Three Ravens Folk Tales from Amazon at https://amzn.to/46DhqeL You could buy my new book Ghosts of the North East at https://amzn.to/4nMHxpS   Support How Haunted? by subscribing and leaving a review.

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson interview Lauren McMillan, University of Stirling about her project evaluating the effectiveness of an e-cigarette intervention for smoking cessation at centres for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Lauren McMillan from the Institute for Social Marketing and Health (ISMH) at the University of Stirling. In the June podcast Lauren discusses Project SCeTCH - a cluster RCT that evaluates the effectiveness of an e-cigarette intervention vs usual care at centres for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness. The study measures smoking abstinence over a 6 month follow-up period and includes embedded process and economic evaluations. If effective, the results will be used to inform the larger-scale implementation of offering e-cigarettes throughout centres for people experiencing or at risk of homelessness to aid smoking cessation. Lauren is part of the research team, led by Dr Allison Ford at the University of Stirling, that conducted the process evaluation of the SCeTCH trial . The main SCeTCH trial was led by Professor Lynne Dawkins (London Southbank University) and Dr Sharon Cox (University College London).

Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Nicola Lindson discuss emerging evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Steve Cook from the University of Michigan USA about the importance of correctly interpreting and assessing the available data. Associate Professor Jamie Hartmann-Boyce and Associate Professor Nicola Lindson discuss the new evidence in e-cigarette research and interview Dr Steven Cook from the Department of Epidemiology, School of Public Health University of Michigan and the Centre for Assessment of Tobacco Regulations, University of Michigan. In the May podcast Steve Cook discusses the methodological problems of cross-sectional data on the health effects of e-cigarette use a topic he addressed at the May 2025 EC Summit, Washington DC. Steve Cook underlines why all cross-sectional health effects studies should be interpreted with extreme caution unless they examine dose-response relationships and account for temporality and cigarette smoking confounding. Dr Cook emphasises the importance of other information such as smoking histories and health histories and the importance of developing a best practice to ensure that we minimize the risks associated with spurious association and maximise predictive accuracy. Steven Cook receives National Institute for Health (NIH) and Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Center for Tobacco Products (CTP) funding. This is not deemed a conflict of interest.

We hear a lot about the pressures boys and young men are under and how many of them are looking to the online world - or manosphere as it's sometimes called - to find answers. Prompted by the drama Adolescence on Netflix, the topic has been in the news regularly in recent weeks. This week the Women and Equalities Select Committee heard evidence on the manosphere. Anita Rani is joined by Will Adolphy, who was a dedicated follower of the manosphere until, in his mid 20s, he had a breakdown. He went offline for five years and rebuilt his life. He is now a psychotherapist, coach, and goes to schools to speak about healthy masculinity.This week ITV has announced a shake up of the scheduling and production of its popular daytime shows including Lorraine, Loose Women and Good Morning Britain. Whilst Good Morning Britain will be extended, both Lorraine and Loose Women will see their number of shows cut. Entertainment journalist and expert on all-things TV Scott Bryan unpicks why this is happening.The Bombing of Pan Am 103 – is a new BBC factual drama series. Based on the true story of the bombing of a passenger flight over a small Scottish town of Lockerbie on 21 December 1988, in which 270 people were killed. Kathryn Turman was Assistant to a federal Senator at the time of the bombing. After the trial she joined the FBI where she founded the agency's first ever Victim Services Division. Her experience in the aftermath of the Pan Am bombing proved invaluable to the FBI's response to the 9/11 attacks, and she has aided victims and families throughout major moments in history including the Las Vegas shooting and the Boston marathon bombing. She discusses her mission to help victims, and what inspired her work in public service.Next month marks three years since the journalist and host of BBC's You, Me and the Big C podcast Deborah James - known to many as Bowel Babe - died, aged 40, five years after her stage four bowel cancer diagnosis. Bowel cancer is the third most common cancer type and cause of cancer death for women. Since the early 1990s, the incidence rate in women aged 25-49 has increased by almost 60%. Bowel cancer is treatable if diagnosed early. Heather James, Deborah's mother, is fulfilling a promise to her daughter and continuing with Deborah's awareness-raising work - she and Michelle Mitchell, Chief Executive of Cancer Research UK, are in the Woman's Hour studio.Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Kirsty Starkey

In episode 107 I head north of the border to a stunning cemetery in Scotland's largest city. This city of the dead overlooks the city of the living, and its most prominent monument celebrates it's 200th birthday this year, predating the first burial here. With 50,000 of the city's dead buried here, it comes as no surprise that this place has long been rumoured to be haunted, but the best known supernatural entity said to lurk here in the darkness, is a vampire. A vampire which was so feared in the 1950s that school children descended on the graveyard with all manner of weapons, hell bent on putting an end to the monster.

The number of moles we have on our bodies largely depends on sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Most people have 10 to 45 moles that appear during childhood and the teenage years.” Moles can vary in thickness, shape, colour, and they sometimes even have hair. They can pop up between your toes, on your scalp, on your earlobes or under your nails-anywhere really. Rest assured, most of the time these small brown spots are completely harmless, but still it's worth knowing some key info about moles. That's especially true given they can sometimes be cancerous, turning into a type of skin cancer called melanoma. According to Cancer Research UK, “there are around 16,700 new melanoma skin cancer cases in the UK every year.” What are moles actually made of ? Which genetic factors are at play then ? How can you tell if a mole is dangerous ? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

In the 20th Patreon bonus podcast you join me on location at a 14th century pele tower in Northumberland, constructed during uncertain times when England was at war with Scotland, and being so close to the border required this tower to be fortified.

Also you'll hear all about what happened to a listener when they visited during the summer of 2023. So tonight, join me as together we ask, just how haunted is Preston Tower?

The impact of the 1692 witch trials is evident at every turn for anyone fortunate enough to visit, especially around Halloween, as one listener took the time to tell me about, as you'll hear.

Leanne was the winner of the latest series of The Traitors UK 2025 and ambassador for Cancer Research UK. **TRIGGER WARNING** This episode contains discussions of IVF, C-sections and premature childbirth. Leanne is swapping the round table for the turn table as she takes on her next big challenge of running this year's Race for Life to raise vital funds for Cancer Research UK, a disease close to her heart. This campaign is deeply personal; in July 2024, just before she filmed The Traitors, Sophie Jones, Leanne's fiancée was diagnosed with stage three breast cancer.

This very special episode is brought to you in paid partnership with Cancer Research UK. At the end of last year, myself, Matt Forde and Mark Steel sat down to have a frank, raw, funny and open conversation about something that has affected us all - cancer. We were later joined by Dr Sam Godfrey, the Science Engagement Lead at Cancer Research UK, who gave us invaluable insight into the incredible work Cancer Research UK are doing and why the future is looking bright. Disclaimer for this one - very strong language and discussions of cancer diagnosis and treatment are used throughout. Disclaimer: CRUK can only accept donations from countries where we are a registered charity.
