Podcast appearances and mentions of Charlie Webster

A bit of TT history...not on the course itself, but behind the scenes, with those who paint the picture for the thousands listening. Hear how Manx Radio brought the races to the people back in the day, as John Moss revisits an archive interview with Geoff Cannell, Charlie Webster and host David Callister.

Some betrayals do more than take money. They shatter trust in ways that can never fully be repaired. I sat down with Charlie Webster, the host, producer and writer of the top international podcast, Scamanda, to break down the shocking deception behind the story and the emotional damage it left behind.   Amanda Riley didn't just lie about having cancer. She built an entire identity around it. She shaved her head, posted hospital photos, and wrote heartfelt blog updates, all while collecting over $100,000 in donations. But what makes someone go to such extremes? And how does that kind of deception affect the people who believed in her?   Charlie shared what it was like to uncover Amanda's story, exposing how someone so seemingly normal managed to fool so many for so long. We explored the psychology behind these kinds of lies—why people are drawn to them, how victims struggle to process the betrayal, and what Amanda's case reveals about manipulation, trust, and the stories we tell ourselves.   We also talked about Amanda's husband, Corey. Did he know? Should he have? And what does this entire saga say about the way we judge people based on the image they present?   If you've ever felt deceived, questioned your instincts, or wondered how far someone would go for validation, this episode will make you think twice about what we choose to believe and why.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Introduction  05:01 The Complexity of Human Behavior in Scamanda 07:11 The Intrigue of Amanda Riley's Story 10:47 The Emotional Impact on Victims 15:01 The Relatability and Extremity of Amanda's Actions 18:01 The Nuances of Amanda's Deception 23:32 Amanda Riley's Identity and Motivation 30:43 The Function of Dysfunctional Behaviors 36:03 The Reality of Amanda's Actions and Empathy 38:31 The Importance of Public Awareness 41:07 Why Amanda Agreed to Speak with Charlie   Links Watch Scamanda Hulu https://www.hulu.com/series/f4ec2a4c-e234-4658-8728-1d17d1725b89 Watch Scamanda on ABC https://abc.com/show/1056ec91-9c44-4671-ae98-3c9feb3f35b3 Listen to Scamanda podcast wherever you get your podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/scamanda/id1685691481   Connect with Charlie Webster: Instagram @charliewebster Website www.charliewebster.com Why It's OK to Talk About Trauma book https://amzn.to/41F5OUy   Connect with Dr. Z: https://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/ https://www.zgrouptherapy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/dr.z_psychologist/ https://www.tiktok.com/@dr.z_psychologist https://www.youtube.com/@DrJaimeZuckerman   Get my FREE breathing exercise here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/newsletter Register for my on demand virtual courses here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/workshops Order my workbooks! *Find Your Calm / Find Good Habits* http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/books Shop my new Mindfully Messy hoodie here: http://www.drjaimezuckerman.com/apparel Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Though perhaps her greatest superpower is her resilience. A resilience that has seen her achieve all this whilst carrying the weight of so much personal trauma.Charlie was verbally and physically abused by her stepfather and as a teenager she was sexually abused, along with a number of other girls, by her running coach…a truly tragic story that she told she brilliantly in the BBC documentary, Nowhere to Run. Then, in 2016, after completing a 3,000-mile bike ride to Rio, Charlie contracted a rare strain of malaria and was put into a coma with doctors fearing that she may not last the night.  How she managed these crises is now the subject of Charlie's brilliant new book ‘Why it's Okay to Talk About Trauma' – a manual for anyone facing personal challenge.  BookWhy it's OK to Talk About Trauma, 2024.  Links    Charlie's Podcasts: Undiscussable, Surviving El Chapo, ScamandaCharlie's Documentary: Nowhere to Run – Abused by our Coach  Stream/buy ‘Allies' by Some Velvet Morning: https://ampl.ink/qp6bm    Some Velvet Morning Website: www.somevelvetmorning.co.uk      Your Daily Practice: Sleep by Myndstream: https://open.spotify.com/track/5OX9XgJufFz9g63o2Dv2i5?si=b2f9397c92084682Photo Copyright: Laura Ribatallada    Host – Andy Coulson   CWC team: Jane Sankey, Louise Difford, Mabel Pickering   With special thanks to Ioana Barbu and the brilliant people at Global      For all PR and guest approaches please contact – podcast@coulsonpartners.com   Full transcript: https://www.crisiswhatcrisis.com/podcasts/charlie-webster-on-managing-trauma-confronting-abuse-and-being-given-24-hours-to-live/

Broadcaster, journalist and endurance athlete Charlie Webster details her near death experience, her process of post-traumatic growth, and how it shaped her perspective on perseverance, mental health and the motivation to keep pushing forward.Charlie is incredible, and her body of work is… extensive, to say the least. She was the first woman to host a televised Boxing World Heavyweight Title Fight, has hosted or produced at least seven different podcasts, created a TV documentary for BBC, has run 14 marathons and competed in 3 ironman triathlons – and that is just scratching the surface of her incredible life story. In 2016, Charlie was put on life support and given 24 hours to live. Charlie pushes the edges in everything she does. She understands deep pain, and how to work with it, which is one of the reasons I wanted to have her on. We dive right in to explore what drives her. What is she working towards? And how does she take care of herself amidst a life of constant “doing” and high achievement? As you'll hear in this conversation, Charlie is so much more than her accomplishments. Her honesty is striking, she's navigated her life with incredible perseverance, and I think we all have something to learn from her journey of becoming.-----Go check out our YouTube channel.Connect with us on our Instagram.For more information and shownotes from every episode, head to findingmastery.net.-----Please support our partners!We're able to keep growing and creating content for YOU because of their support.
