I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Saturday morning, the 4th of October, 2025, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We start in the Book of Exodus 16:3: “And the children of Israel said to them, "Oh, that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the pots of meat and when we ate bread to the full! For you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." Then we go to the Book of Job 38:4. “The Lord said to Job: "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?”Stop being ungrateful! We have very short memories, don't we, my dear friend? We forget where Jesus has brought us from. We are so quick to complain. The Israelites were slaves in Egypt but they forgot that very quickly when they were in the desert and they were hungry and thirsty. Of course the Lord supplied everything they needed, but they had short memories, forgetting where they had come from.You and I need to stop complaining and we need to start becoming more grateful for what we have. I think of William and Catherine Booth, the founders of the Salvation Army. They took care of the hungry and the poor and the homeless. William Booth's son was Bramwell Booth, that was his name. When he was about 16 years old, one night at maybe 2 or 3 o'clock in the morning, William Booth took them to the poorest part of East London. He took his son into a pub, a drinking house. There were little children standing outside waiting for their parents, in rags. You can imagine the snow on the ground in the middle of winter. He took his son into the middle of this drinking house. There were people lying all over the place, drunk. The floor was full of rubbish where people had vomited. I am telling you the truth. It was like a pig sty! It was absolutely disgusting, and he said to his son, “Have a look around. What do you see? His son was so shocked at what he saw, the squalor, the poverty, the hunger, and then he said, “Bramwell, these are our people. We must help them.” And then they went out home. Bramwell Booth never forgot that sight as long as he lived. He was so grateful for what God had given to him and his family.You too, remember from where we have come, lest we start to complain about our situation at the moment. Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day,Goodbye.

In this raw and soul-stirring conversation, we sit down with writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur Steven Rosen, who shares his extraordinary journey from addiction and survival to awakening and deep self-discovery.Steven opens up about his early life growing up in East London, where instability, maternal abandonment, and emotional neglect shaped his worldview and seeded the limiting beliefs that would guide his early years.With honesty that cuts through the noise, he reveals how the coping mechanisms he developed—from drug use to hardened self-reliance—were survival strategies rooted in pain.But this story isn't just about hitting rock bottom. It's about waking up.We explore what happens when the life you've built—complete with family, wealth, and outward success—feels like a beautifully polished mask.Steven talks about the moment he realised he didn't truly know who he was, and the painful, liberating decision to start over—not externally, but within.From the power of radical self-honesty and vulnerability to the emotional depth found in recovery, therapy, men's circles, and spiritual awakening, Steven offers insight, wisdom, and truth for anyone navigating their own journey back to self.This episode is a powerful reminder that healing is not a single moment—it's a lifelong journey. And at the heart of it lies one question: Who am I, really, without the roles I've learned to play?If you've ever felt stuck, lost, or unsure where to go next—this is a conversation you don't want to miss.Steven Rosen is a writer, podcaster, and entrepreneur born in East London.After decades of personal transformation and long-term recovery, he now helps others overcome trauma, reprogram limiting beliefs, and rediscover their potential.His work is grounded in lived experience, deep introspection, and a commitment to walking through life with truth and integrity.Steven is also a patron of the Aspirations Project, a charity supporting at-risk youth, and the host of The Cockney Guide to Enlightenment podcast.Contact and follow Steven on- YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@cockneyprophet- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cockneyprophet- Podcast - The Cockney Guide to Enlightenment - https://open.spotify.com/show/2L9x4PmnT3L7AA1i9D09f0?si=50ad1877051c415f- Book - Lost in the Babylon - https://www.amazon.co.uk/Lost-Babylon-Steven-Rosen/dp/1739155106- Film - https://youtu.be/h2Rq9ITJNxo?si=sIsUeoUSm9w7qo2p

We wandered the streets, thinking about history, our own personal stories, and how to create meaningful and sustainable communities.The Bertrand Russell quote I butchered:“Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relatively to other such matter; second, telling other people to do so. The first kind is unpleasant and ill paid; the second is pleasant and highly paid.”See some photos I took of East London over on SubstackMy piece on HeraclitusMy piece on Dependent ArisingJamie Stantonian on the Uffington White HorseAnab from Superflux whom Chris mentioned a few times.I wrongly called one of the Greek schools of medicine "Dogmatist" when I should have said "Rationalist"; Sextus opposes both dogmatism and rationalism. The three schools of medicine in 2nd century AD were "Empirical," "Rationalist," and "Methodist."

The Cockney Rejects formed in East London in 1979, led by brothers Jeff and Mick Geggus. Coming straight out of the working-class neighborhood of East End, they were inspired by the raw energy of punk but added their own aggressive, football terrace–style chants. Their first records came out on EMI, with the 1980 debut Greatest Hits Vol. 1, followed quickly by Greatest Hits Vol. 2. Their loud, sing-along anthems such as “Oi! Oi! Oi!” made them one of the defining bands of the Oi! punk movement, even though the label “Oi!” was originally coined after a journalist described their music that way.The Rejects' lyrics often reflected working-class life and their love of West Ham United F.C. This connection to football culture gave them a unique identity but also brought violence to many of their gigs, as rival football hooligans clashed at shows. Despite this, their music gained popularity across the UK and Europe, and they were seen as heroes of street-level punk. They stood apart from art-punk or politically heavy bands, preferring to sing about everyday struggles, loyalty, and pride in where they came from.As the 1980s progressed, the band experimented with a harder rock and heavy metal sound. Albums like The Wild Ones (1982) leaned more toward glam and hard rock than their early Oi! roots, but this stylistic shift alienated some of their punk audience. Still, the band refused to be boxed into one style, proving they could adapt and survive in a changing music scene. They continued to play live, earning a reputation for rowdy, unpredictable gigs that mirrored the chaos of the streets they came from.By the 1990s and 2000s, the Cockney Rejects had become respected as pioneers, with a loyal international fanbase. They toured widely, influencing later punk, hardcore, and even street rock bands. Their story is one of resilience—despite violence at shows, industry challenges, and lineup changes, Jeff Geggus kept the band alive. Today, they are recognized as both punk icons and cultural figures who captured the voice of London's East End, leaving behind a legacy of defiant, working-class rock 'n' roll.https://www.cockneyrejects.com/cockneyrejectshomepage

Is listening a hidden superpower we've overlooked?  You've heard of Active Listening, but what is Radical Listening and why does it matter?Episode SummaryOn this episode, I'm joined by Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh, an academic who also describes himself as 'Coach on a Motorcycle'. He's on the show to help me explore what he calls 'Radical Listening'.Christian is Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the University of East London and the co-author, with Dr Robert Biswas-Diener, of 'Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection'.The book offers a research-backed but deeply human exploration of what it means to really hear someone — and how that act alone can change lives. In the book and in his work, Christian blends academic rigour with road-tested coaching insights, drawing from both the lecture hall and long rides through open landscapes. He invites us to look at listening not just as a skill, but as a way of being.With a background in positive psychology and a passion for connection, Christian brings a perspective that's as practical as it is profound. We talk about how listening — when done with presence and intention — becomes far more than a communication technique. It becomes a way of affirming identity, offering empathy, and shaping culture. Christian shares why well-meaning advice often misses the mark, the difference between social and cognitive listening, and what it takes to be with someone, rather than just hearing them.This isn't just for leaders or coaches;  it's for anyone who wants to have better conversations, create stronger relationships, and be more human in how they engage with others. Listening, as we discuss, isn't neutral. It's powerful, personal, and radically transformative.Guest BiographyProfessor Christian van Nieuwerburgh is a globally recognised executive coach, academic, and author, holding the title of Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the University of East London.As Managing Director of the International Centre for Coaching Psychology and Executive Director at Growth Coaching International, he bridges rigorous research with practice.He co-authored Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection (with Dr Robert Biswas‑Diener), which reorients listening from a background skill to a central act of human connection.Famously known as the “Coach on a Motorcycle,” Christian combines his love for the open road with his dedication to how we hear and are heard.

In episode 300 of The Just Checking In Podcast, we marked the milestone with a special episode dedicated to our Founder Freddie's university tutor, Dr Sabina Avdagic, who taught him in the final year of his degree. In this episode Freddie provides the context for where he was on his mental health journey in his third and final year of his undergraduate degree at the University of Sussex, where he completed a Bachelor of Arts in Politics. Sabina taught Freddie in a module called 'Democracy and Inequality', where Freddie wrote one of his two dissertations, which was entitled 'What has been the effect of gentrification on East London?'. During this period, Sabina was a significant support for Freddie and gave him the confidence to pursue this dissertation topic, at a time when he was suffering major mental health challenges. In 2025, Freddie wanted to reach out to Sabina and get back in touch to thank her for her support, but tragically he discovered that on 13th January 2024, Sabina had died suddenly. In her obituary on the Sussex University website, they state that in July 2024, a special day of events was held to celebrate Sabina's life and achievements, with the research common room in the Politics building renamed the ‘Sabina Avdagic Room' and a plaque unveiled in honour of her memory. There was also an academic symposium and a ceremony to mark the planting of a mimosa tree in Sabina's memory, in the terrace area of the building. The message of this podcast is: make sure you check in with that special person or loved one in your life whilst you still can. Make the phone call, send the text, send the email, reach in and tell them what they mean to you. If you can, don't put it off, because you never know when it might be the last opportunity you get to do it.

On this episode Bryn talks to Giorgia Dona, Academic, Activist and Professor of Forced Migration and Refugee Studies at the University of East London. The Uk seems to be pulling in different directions as we see an increasingly number of people protesting against the high numbers of immigrants coming to this country.  With the Union flag being waved outside refugee hotels and chants of "out out out" ringing in our streets, we thought it might help to bring on an expert and bring some context to the time that we are experiencing.

WeTransfer x TalkArt special episode recorded live at Whitechapel Gallery. Recorded in front of a sold out live audience at @WhitechapelGallery we speak with @DominicJohnson and Jamal Butt to explore the current HAMAD BUTT exhibition: his life, art and legacy. ❤️ Thank you to @WePresent for organising this exciting event!Apprehensions is the first major survey of #HamadButt (b. 1962, Lahore, Pakistan; d. 1994, London, UK). One of the most innovative artists of his generation, Hamad Butt was a pioneer of intermedia art, bringing art into conversation with science, whilst also referencing his Queer and diasporic experiences. He offered a nuanced artistic response to the AIDS crisis in the UK, taking a conceptual rather than activist approach.Butt's conceptually and technically ambitious works seamlessly interweave popular culture, science, alchemy, science fiction, and social and cultural concerns, as forms that are simultaneously poetic and provocative. They imagine sex and desire in a time of ‘plague' as seductive yet frightening, intimate yet isolating, compelling yet dangerous – literally, in some cases, threatening to kill or injure.Born in Lahore, Pakistan, and raised in East London, Butt was British South Asian, Muslim by upbringing, and Queer. A contemporary of the Young British Artists, and their peer at Goldsmiths' College, London, Butt was described by art critics as epitomising the new ‘hazardism' in art of the 1990s, as his works often imply physical risk or endangerment.Follow: @WhitechapelGallery and @WePresent and check out WePresent today to see a series of never-before-seen artworks by Hamad, generously shared by Jamal.This episode is brought to you by our friends at WePresent, the Academy Award winningarts platform of WeTransfer.

Now in her eighties, the prolific author talks about the in-depth research behind her writing and what keeps her motivated to write. The family and friends of Simone White who died from alcohol poisoning, along with five others, after drinking shots at a hostel in Laos last year, have launched a successful campaign to introduce alcohol safety classes in schools. Clare speaks to Simone's friend, Bethany Clarke, who was travelling with her, drank the same drinks and has been involved in the campaign. The Women's Rugby World Cup is kicking off in just three weeks' time. The tournament will be hosted in England, and there's growing excitement across all four home nations. Clare finds out more from Katy Daley-McLean, who captained the Red Roses to World Cup victory in 2014.Grace Wolstenholme, a 22-year-old online content creator with cerebral palsy, had her own death faked on TikTok. In May, one of her videos was re-used without her consent in a gruesome 'death hoax'. Clare discusses with journalist Elliot Deady from BBC Essex, who has been following the story, and we hear from Grace herself about the deep impact this incident has had on her.Sara Pascoe is a comedian, and her children don't sleep, her kitchen won't clean itself and her husband “doesn't want to be in it”. Sara's new show - I am a Strange Gloop – is on a UK tour. She stumbles stunned to the stage from the soft play area, with battle-hardened tales to tell on the front line of motherhood.Presented by Clare McDonnell Producer: Louise Corley

Who's on your Mount Rushmore of pop?That's the question of the week. After welcoming Jeff Weiss back to London for a live show about his tremendous novel-slash-memoir, Waiting For Britney Spears, we got to thinking about our own pop album percies. 2007's Blackout is certainly up there – ‘a lost weekend of one-more-gram indulgence' that ‘embodied the hedonistic sleaze of the late Bush years,' as Jeff sums it up in the book.Waiting For Britney… is a celebrity biography like no other – a gonzo account of Jeff's time as a rookie in the world of Hollywood gossip rags, back when celebrities still had mystique and Brit still had a full head of hair. There is scandal and there are laughs, but never at the expense of its stricken central character. The words ‘leave Britney alone!' never sounded more reasonable.At the end of June, Jeff blessed us with his presence at Young Space in East London, where we talked to him about paparazzi, poptimism, fedoras, K-Fed, and the chaotic energy of LA in the early 2000s, the era that feminism forgot. Plus, a working theory: why Britney, Kanye and Trump are the quintessential 21st century Americans.

Nestled in the heart of East London, there is a sprawling expanse of wetlands, fields, and woodlands, a place where urban life meets untamed nature. Known for its soccer pitches and scenic paths along the River Lea, this green oasis has long been a haven for locals seeking escape from the city's hustle. But beneath its tranquil surface lies a darker tale—one of mystery, fear, and an elusive creature. It has been described as a "Giant, great beast" with shaggy black fur and standing over seven-feet-tall. For decades, whispered stories of a towering, growling entity have haunted the marshes, captivating the imaginations of cryptozoologists, thrill-seekers, and skeptics alike. Even the presence of photographs has not brought about any clear answers.
