For this week's Twilight Zone episode, we're taking a look at “A Thing About Machines.” Bartlett Finchley is a man with refined cultural tastes, especially when it comes to flairs of the verbal kind. However, when machines are involved, he just can't seem to find the words to express just how much he despises them. And, truth be told, they hate him right back. But, how does one fight the inevitable onslaught of technological advancement? If you have the answer, you might just let Finchley know–although his phone is currently out of service. As we walk through “A Thing about Machines,” we're going to be diving into whether or not the machines are actually worse than Finchley himself; we'll talk about how the relationship between humans and technology might be evolving in the future (and it's not what you think); finally, I'll reveal my moment of awe, just some musings on why we can't always see each other in the best of lights when we need it most.So, grab your keys, and let's unlock this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.

Host Sascha O'Sullivan meets a few of the new parliamentarians slowly figuring out their way through Westminster. New Labour MPs — and soon-to-be office buddies — Jake Richards and Chris Curtis give Sascha rundown of their whirlwind first few days in SW1 and a taste of their plans to make a difference in parliament. Lola McEvoy, newly elected Labour MP for Darlington, re-lives the nerves of giving her maiden speech directly after Reform Leader Nigel Farage. She explains the challenges of very quickly having to get on top of an inbox with thousands of emails from constituents — before she'd even had a chance to hire staff. As if being a new MP wasn't challenging enough, Sascha talks to Sarah Sackman, the representative for Finchley and Golders Green and newly-minted solicitor general, on how to find your way around parliament with a ministerial red box. Another fresh face, Andrew Snowden, Conservative MP for Fylde, tells Sascha about being courted by senior Tories as they jostle for the upper hand in the leadership contest. And new Lib Dem MP Bobby Dean attempts to answer the thorny question of "what's the point of the Liberal Democrats" now they have their highest ever number of seats in parliament.

Anthony Joshua MBE is a British heavyweight boxer, Olympic gold medallist and two-time former unified world heavyweight champion. Anthony was born in 1989 and grew up in Watford. When he was 11, he moved with his mother to Nigeria, her home country, and attended a boarding school there for several months. When the family returned to Watford, Anthony took part in football and athletics at school, although he recalls that he didn't enjoy sport in the freezing winter conditions. After school he briefly studied music technology, and worked as a bricklayer, but mostly drifted. When he found himself banned from Watford town centre, he moved to Edgware and started going to the gym. His cousin Ben Ileyemi, a keen boxer, invited him to his local boxing gym in Finchley. Anthony, then aged 18, and with no boxing experience, decided to enter the ring himself. Within five years, he won a gold medal at the London 2012 Olympics. He turned professional in 2013 and has become one of the most high-profile boxers in the world.

In 2004, Shaun of the Dead was released into cinemas and its particular mix of horror and comedy quickly made it a beloved cult classic… Turns out Paul was on set as a zombie extra during the production of this movie and he has a few stories to tell about it. It's a pity he will hardly get the chance to do so! To celebrate the film's 20th anniversary, CheapShow decides to explore North London to hunt for some of the real life locations from the ZomRomCom hit. They'll roam Finchley, Highgate, Crouch End and even take a long trip to South London for their final location in New Cross Gate. It's an epic journey that has Eli trying to inject his own misinformed opinions and hijack the walk with his memories… Which means Paul can barely be able to recall his own! They'll argue, digress and talk absolute garbage in yet another failed attempt to be taken seriously. Luckily, they manage to bump into comedian/actor Paul Putner who'll offer a few of his own SotD stories to balance out Paul and Eli's nonsense. See pics/videos for this episode on our website: https://www.thecheapshow.co.uk/ep-383-walk-of-the-shaun-of-the-dead Thanks to Paul Putner for joining us briefly on this walk too!

In a week when the BBC are citing the awful statistics of referees being abused, injured or attacked, we speak with old friend of the Show Martin Cassidy. CEO of independent charity Ref Support he's actually in positive mood - not that the darker side of football isn't there, but that the publicity means things are a changing with the FA looking at body cam roll-outs to help referees, help players and help the game, Our next guest has a tale to tell. His side 3-0 down with 8 minute of normal time to play in a real six pointer in a potential relegation battle. Not only did they win 4-3 deep into injury time but their goalkeeper was the one to score the equaliser too. Ahmet Rifat has been at Wingate & Finchley for nearly a decade and a half as player, Director of Football and now manager and this is likely to go down as one of his favourite memories. Rounding it all up Jon Couch from the Non League paper as the season really does begin to reach the exciting final third
The House of Lords is back in the spotlight. Boris Johnson's resignation honours have reignited debates about the appointment process and the ability of politicians to hand life peerages to their friends, supporters and donors. Key figures across Westminster have called for stronger independent oversight of the appointment process. Labour Leader Keir Starmer has gone further, committing to replacing the House of Lords with an elected chamber if he wins the next general election, informed by the work of former prime minister Gordon Brown's constitutional commission. However, as past governments have discovered, how to reform the second chamber is the cause of intense disagreement. Who should replace the current membership? What should be the role of a second chamber? What are the risks involved in embarking on major constitutional change – and are the knock-on impacts clearly understood? This event – part of the IfG Bennett Institute Review of the UK Constitution – will explore current proposals for reforming the House of Lords, including the newly-published Brown review, and consider how reform could be achieved. Matthew Hanney, former Special Adviser to Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg Darren Hughes, Chief Executive of the Electoral Reform Society Lord Norton of Louth, Conservative Peer and Professor of Government at the University of Hull Sarah Sackman, Commissioner, Brown Commission, Labour candidate for Finchley and Golders Green The was chaired by Jess Sargeant,Senior Researcher, Institute for Government. #IfGLordsReform

"Where are you from" is considered a micro aggression. Of course in a harmonious society this is a reasonable question indicative of genuine interest. Indeed in a harmonious society to suggest any other motive would be nonsense. However it has become a problem for two reasons in this age of societal collapse where political correctness has been the latest disintegration stage.The first is people are easily offended because they are unhappy and are insecure about their own identity and feel they have no control apart from the politically correct right to offence for which there is no cost and no responsibility. Of course people should be proud of who they are and pride inspires respect and interest and education. Indeed who you are is simply reality and that is the healthiest thing to deal with. Not edging anxiously round political correctness.The second is that the indigenous population is also feeling unhappy and insecure about their identity as they see it collapsing around them manifested by discussions over whether Christmas should be cancelled or summer school exams moved due to Ramadan.As usual we are all too blinded by the symptom to really address the real problem which is something far more sinister.The real fault lies with our leaders. It is their responsibility to provide leadership including national identity. If someone wants to move to any country it should be clear to them that they will be respected for who they are and where they come from but the priority is to integrate and take on the identity of that country and it's customs. In evolutionary terms if something is familiar it's probably good as it has not already eaten you. If it's not familiar it could be a danger. Hence we dont like people who are different. Studies back this up by showing certain of our brain cells which respond to social queues -mirror neurones- either don't respond or respond less when observing someone of a different skin colour. It can be remedied by education. Hence the phenomenon of racism is a natural phenomenon but the fact it happens is a sign of a badly run society. People don't feel integrated and instead stay close to those they identify with which is why cities become mosaics of different cultures and religions with limited mixing. For instance we all know which cultural groups live in China town, Finchley, Hownslow, Walthamstow, Lambeth -or even large swathes of Birmingham.... Once you have coalescing of cultures each rubbing shoulders with each other then you have friction and strife. Add into that increased immigration recently with no effort or requirement of integration then you have a dry tinder box where small incidents can act as kindling for the underlying problem. For instance the UK is a Christian country. The King of England is the head of the Church of England. At citizenship ceremonies you have to swear allegiance to the King of England. Saudi Arabia is much clearer. It has strict requirements for cohesion to its own culture and religion and forbids public display of other religions. Do you think they would consider moving Ramadan to allow foreign students to study for exams? Who is the stronger more harmonious society? The problem with our leaders is that being a democracy they have to get elected hence they have to please the vast majority of the population who make decisions emotionally on top of which they are misinformed by the media. Therefore logical well infirmed voting is not only a pipe dream but those seeking election just make promises that sound good emotively for quick votes. This is nothing to do with firm fair leadership which will displease the politically correct mass media. Try enforcing British culture, identity, values let alone the Church of England. This general collapse is seeping into every fibre of our society including health, social services police. Everyone avoids responsibility behaves obstructively and destructively rather than constructively and takes offence. It is Marxism with the eradication of the middle and upper class -often and preferably unceremoniously- leaving only the elite and the vast mass of everyone else and this always ends in disaster and revolution.

Built on an extension of the world's second underground railway (the Metropolitan and St John's Wood Railway), Finchley Road has been at the centre of a struggle for track capacity that has seen it served by the Metropolitan, Bakerloo and Jubilee lines. There was even a little-known 1920s plan to for a deep-level Metropolitan line bypass the station altogether! In this episode we'll also look at Swiss Cottage, Marlborough Road and Lords, the three Metropolitan line stations between Finchley Road and Baker Street which closed in 1939 and 1949.

Since the beginning of the pandemic, shed sellers have seen a surge in demand - especially those that can be used as home offices. And existing summerhouses and garages have been commandeered, particularly by women, as a growing number expect to be working from home. Instagram is awash with images of so-called "She Sheds". Emma discusses the attraction with Joanne Harris who writes from her shed and Gill Heriz, author of A Woman's Shed. What does it say about society when protestors threaten to rape their enemies’ mothers and daughters? This is what happened in North London at the weekend when protestors waving Palestinian flags passed through a Jewish community in Finchley. Four men have now been arrested on suspicion of racially aggravated public order offences. We look at the wider issue of how rape is threatened as a common insult, used for revenge in gangs and in the wider context of war. Emma talks to the writer and feminist activist Julie Bindel and to the historian Sir Antony Beevor. This week the government has announced a range of measures to protect the environment, from banning peat in garden centres to increasing the rate of tree planting and reversing the loss of species diversity. A 10p charge on single-use plastic bags will also come into force on Friday. But what difference will these policies - and others made in the run-up to COP26 - make to the crisis facing nature and the climate? Emma Barnett speaks to Environment Minister Rebecca Pow. Five years after China scrapped its one-child policy in favour of allowing families to have two children, the country's population growth has slumped to the lowest levels seen since the early 1960s. What's behind China's falling birth rate? We hear from Dr Ye Liu, a senior lecturer in international development at Kings College London.

With Brexit opening a Pandora's Box of irrational nationalism in England, and Scotland and Northern Ireland heading to the exit door, the break-up of the United Kingdom is no longer a weird fantasy but a real possibility. Nick Cohen talks to the writer, broadcaster and card-carrying Scot Gavin Esler about his new book How Britain Ends, and the forces that could pull Britain apart. Can the Union be saved? Would an independent Scotland really be welcomed into the EU? And is Britain in danger of becoming a failed state? “I've had people telling me ‘We English aren't nationalistic – that's why we're BETTER than other people'…” – Gavin Esler“The central role of British foreign policy since the Spanish Armada was to stop Europe uniting against us. And Brexit has achieved exactly that.” – Nick Cohen“What would post-imperial Britain's role be? It wouldn't BE post-Imperial Britain. It would be England alone.” – Gavin Esler“Brexit has led to the collapse of an English myth that we're a tolerant, pragmatic people not given to wild ideas.” – Nick Cohen“Thatcher said Northern Ireland was as British as Finchley. Under Boris Johnson, in customs terms it's as British as France.” – Gavin Esler Presented by Nick Cohen. Produced by Andrew Harrison. Assistant producers Jacob Archbold and Jelena Sofronijevic.

We sat down with returning guests Jeannette-Marie Lewis and Michael Stern to discuss the works of Jacob Collier. According to Wikipedia: Jacob Collier (/ˈkɒliər/[3] born 2 August 1994) is an English musician. His music incorporates elements from many musical genres, and often features extreme use of reharmonisation. In 2012, his split-screen video covers of popular songs, such as Stevie Wonder's "Don't You Worry 'bout a Thing", began to go viral on YouTube. In 2014, Collier signed to Quincy Jones' management company and began working on his one-man, audio-visual live performance vehicle, designed and built at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.[4] In 2016, Collier released his debut album, In My Room, which he recorded, arranged, performed and produced himself in the small back room of his family home in Finchley, north London.[5] In 2017, Collier was awarded Grammy Awards for his arrangements of "Flintstones" and "You And I".[6] In 2018, Collier began working on Djesse, a four-volume, 50-song album featuring more than two dozen artists and ensembles. The first volume, which features the Metropole Orkest, Djesse Vol. 1, was released in December 2018. The second, Djesse Vol. 2, uses more acoustic instrumentation, and was released in July 2019. In 2020, Collier won Grammy Awards for his arrangements of "All Night Long" from Djesse Vol. 1 and "Moon River" from Djesse Vol. 2, respectively. The third volume, Djesse Vol. 3, which Collier describes as being based in electronic sounds, was released on 14 August 2020.[7] --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/musicspeaks-podcast/support

Joe Jacobs is a failing rapper trying to make a career as a stand-up comedian. Straight out of Finchley, Joe spent a decade attempting to build a recording career as a hip-hop MC. But by his own admission he was never taken too seriously. Now he’s trying to turn the tables - instead of being the butt of other people’s jokes he is hoping to direct the laughs himself. His ambition is to succeed in stand-up, where he failed in rap - and get a gig on television. Can he go from being a comedic rapper, to a stand-up comedian who raps? In this documentary he meets other artists who bridge the worlds of rap and comedy. He hears about hip hop's humorous roots from Open Mic Eagle, understands the world of rap battles with Lunar C and Jaz Kahina and meets one of the least likely success stories in viral rap videos, Dan Bull.

Welcome to "Between the Cracks" (or "the ones who got away"). Even though Community Keyboards has chatted with many organ and keyboard world celebrities, many more have avoided the probing questions of your host! With the kind permission of THE ESSEX ORGAN MUSEUM (http://www.essexorganmuseum.com/links-Interest.html) we present an A to Z of those who never made it, for whatever reason, to the programme. William Arthur Davies was born at Bolton, Lancashire, on June 25 1921. At the age of seven he began taking piano lessons, and by the time he was 11 he was learning the organ with his uncle, who played at the local Methodist Chapel. William was soon to be found practicing on the local Lido and Odeon cinema organs. At the age of 18 he joined the RAF, and served in Ceylon. Davies's professional career began at the Gaumont cinema, Wolverhampton, in 1946. By late 1947 he was playing at the Gaumont, Finchley. He then moved to the West End of London. There, after a short spell at the Metropole, Victoria, he spent 18 months at the Dominion in Tottenham Court Road. In 1950 he moved towards arranging and composition, and began writing for the BBC Light Music Unit. He then embarked on his long association with the popular radio program, Friday Night is Music Night, as conductor, arranger and featured piano soloist. In 1956 Davies joined British Lion at Shepperton Studios and scored several films for them. By the 1960s he was Musical Director for Southern Television, and in 1972 he provided the music for Alistair Cooke's epic radio series Letter from America. In 1975 Davies worked with Alan Bennett on his television play Sunset Across the Bay, and three years later wrote the score for the film The Last Tasmanian. Throughout this time Davies could be heard on the BBC Theatre organ in London. He also played at various cinemas including, in 1960, the first organ broadcast in stereo, from the Trocadero at Elephant & Castle. In the 1970s Davies provided the backing for Gracie Fields. He later did a series of 15-minute programs for BBC Radio 2, At the Piano. He was still working in the 1990s, and in 1992 he wrote a completely new score for Ernst Lubitsch's German film from 1919, The Oyster Princess. Davies played the organ in his local church, first at Stoke Poges, and then at Sutton, Surrey. He was also connected with the Carmelite Priory in Kensington, where he played the organ for special Sunday services, religious holidays and at Christmas. Bill Davies married Eileen Watts in 1943. The marriage ended in 1987. In 1991 Davies married Felicity White. William Arthur Davies died 2nd March 2006.

This 'Art of Dying Well' podcast picks up where Episode 18 left off - counting the cost of COVID19 and how it has touched our lives and communities. Lockdown may be easing but the virus is certainly not a thing of the past. Politicians turn their thoughts to re-firing the economy, restrictions are being removed and the public at large is being encouraged to use its 'common sense'.But many people are coping with grief, separation and isolation in an entirely new way. Some have been denied being at the bedside of a dying loved one or even at the graveside for a final farewell.What mark will this collective trauma leave on a generation?To look at lockdown, loss and trauma, we're joined by three excellent guests.Our first contributor, Stephen Regal, is clinical lead at the Centre for Trauma, Resilience and Growth & Veterans Service in Nottingham. Stephen has a wealth of experience when it comes to sudden acute loss.We engage in a little 'Death Chatter' with Rabbi Jonathan Wittenberg, Senior Rabbi at the New North London Synagogue and a prolific writer and thinker on Judaism to hear how his Jewish community in Finchley has dealt with the challenges of COVID-19.Finally the 'Voice from the Chaplain's Chair' comes from Father James Mackay, a Catholic priest from east London. Father James set up a 24/7 chaplaincy service at the Nightingale Hospital - a huge field hospital using the ExCel conference centre building whilst in operation.

On this episode we welcome a writer who wrote a song of such epic positivity; an enduring feel-good head-rush about falling in love. We're talking about ‘walking'. ‘walking on sunshine'. Tim and Phil chat with the songwriter and guitarist Kimberley Rew about his phenomenal three chord wonder - a copyright that earns one million dollars a year. Kim's song broke his band Katrina and The Waves with their recording and it's infectious Motown swinging rhythm and compelling vocal from Katrina Leskanich. Due to the current crisis we've recorded this episode remotely, in lockdown, with Kim in Cambridge, Tim in Finchley and Phil in Suffolk. The song is listed at number nine in the Billboard chart of ‘most over used songs in films', at number one is Jimi Hendrix's cover of Dylan's ‘all along the watchtower'. Not bad company! anchor.fm/songstripper facebook.com/songstrippr twitter.com/songstripper instagram.com/songstripper

It's an eventful episode this week as we chat to hilarious comedian Jen Brister, and accidentally lock her in Ellie's lounge. Listen to Jen chat about being a gay parent and mum of twins, while becoming increasingly desperate for a piss. Will we be rescued in time, or will Jen be forced to wee in Ellie's son's fireman's bucket? Tune in to find out and enjoy some exciting cameos. Do listen right to the end for a surprising twist.Jen tells us what it's like to have babies with another lady, and how you decide who gets to be (has to be?) the pregnant one. We also find out why choosing sperm with your partner is even harder than deciding what to watch on Netflix. Later on, Jen shares the most honest advice about kids and sleep we've ever heard. Ellie and Helen try to explain what Match Attax is, and to guide Jen through her kids starting school. Predictably they fail on both counts. Jen's brilliant book, The Other Mother, is out now.

It's Chriiiiiiist Mas! And that means it's time for Nurse Jessie and Steve Hill to join us once again for some daft old festive nonsense. As is tradition, we discuss whether the snowman actually does bring the snow, wish Linda a happy birthday, and review some ham. We talk about our highlights of the year, including getting breathalysed and pissing in a pub car park. There is a Christmas message from Ellie's Dad, Jessie does a festive joke, and Steve Hill reveals his patented technique for farting in a van. Why they won't let us on Radio 4 we just don't know.

Analysis Paralysis is a real thing and we not share the brain science behind it but offer some tips to kicking it; and we present an overview of tourism on the Northcoast from attractions to wholistic groceries. Today we have another give away — this time a book from my library — a gently owned book named “Slow Knitting a journey from sheep to skein to stitch” by Hannah Thiessen. It chronicles her journey from the “getting it done quickly” attitude with her knitting to slowing down and deep her understanding of all the processes of her practice. The book is a mixture of patterns, essays from a variety of professionals in the industry and beautiful photographs. Companies include Green Mountain Spinner and O-Wool. The patterns include lots of sweaters but also shawls and cowls and hats and mittens. Hannah divides her book with the themes of “source carefully” produce thoughtfully think environmenta lly experiment fearlessly and explore Openly. This is a book you slow down with and come back too.

So, because Paul & Eli are lazy, they went someone close in location and close to their heart... East Finchley in North London. A place they both lived at one point, and also at their darkest hours. Will Paul & Eli regret returning? Let's find out! Listen as Eli and Paul take their £10 budget and use it buy some class tat, avoid nosey teenagers, hold their breaths in a very smelly place and apologise profusely for Eli's inability to work a microphone (Genuinely sorry for his loudness. Eli is practically eating his mic!). And if you like us, why not support us: www.patreon.com/cheapshow Share & Enjoy.

In this week's show, we speak to Canterbury City manager Ben Smith ahead of the club's biggest game ever when they host Biggleswade in the FA Vase. Folkestone Invicta manager Neil Cugley talks us through the incredible finale to their game with Wingate & Finchley, and we also reflect on the rest of the action across the county. We look ahead to Maidstone's FA Trophy tie - a welcome distraction from the League - and discuss plenty of other stuff, including cat behaviour and if we should start effing and jeffing in the podcast...
In 2014, footballer Hakeem was sentenced to 10 years in prison for vandalising a police station in his native Bahrain. He denied the charges and having fled to Australia fearing for his safety, he missed the trial. Once in Australia he was granted political asylum in 2017. But in November, a decision to go to Thailand changed Hakeem's life forever.The Bahrain government issued a warrant for his arrest and he was detained, as a recognised refugee this shouldn't have happened.He's still in prison. Lou Tona is the chair of semi-professional club Pascoe Vale in Melbourne, Australia where Hakeem plays. He says failure is not an option and they are trying everything to bring Hakeem back home to Australia. Plus, we meet Marseille fan Mohamad Henni isn’t happy. Whenever Marsielle lose, Mohamad takes his frustrations out on his TV. He has broken over 20 TV’s so far and plans to continue. And English seventh tie side Wingate & Finchley FC will have a new coach in the dugout. Manager Dave Norman will be able to call on the AI football coach for advice on tactics and substitutions. AI football coach was developed by Big Bang Fair to help promote artificial intelligence. Wingate & Finchley director Paul Lerman and Tim Deeson say it will revolutionise semi-professional football.

Alistair played for Wycombe Wanderers FC as a schoolboy and was then approached and signed by QPR - he played in the youth and reserves from the age of 17. During his time there he had a loan spell with Oldham Athletic scoring freely in the U19s. He suffered a torn cruciate ligament which halted his progress and after an 11-month recovery he never regained his normal self and decided to pursue a career in Quantity Surveying whilst playing semi-professionally with Northwood F.C in the Ryman Premier Division. He was then offered the opportunity to play professional football again with the Dutch 1st Division side Helmond Sport. He returned home and played in the Nationwide Conference South with Bishops Stortford. After playing for a few semi-professional sides his career was supposedly ended in 2006 while playing at Wingate and Finchley, following a car crash in which his best friend died. Alistair was in a coma for 2 months and was told he may not walk again so he thought he would never play football again. This also put a stop to his Quantity Surveying degree and having always liked cars and styling them he changed career and acquired a Totally Dynamic Franchise. Having not played football for 4 years he was contacted by the F.A about disability football but specifically CP football (for Cerebral Palsy or brain injury sufferers). He had always kept myself fit and so reluctantly started playing again. Since then Alistair has played in the CPISRA World Championships for England and represented ParalympicsGB at London 2012, contributing with 3 assists and scoring in the playoff game against Argentina. You can connect with Alistair through his Twitter.

In this week’s episode I interview Mark Lester of the www.thefinchleyclinic.com I first came across Mark approximately a year ago when I was trying to source some liver and gut cleansing products that I had been researching, and Mark’s website was the only place I could buy them in the UK. This led me to having a closer look through his shop and seeing what other products The Finchley Clinic had to offer. One glance through the product range and I could tell that who ever ran this website knew what they were doing as every item was of the highest quality. I later learnt that Mark comes from a family that has been involved with Naturopathy since the mid 1950's, and he started his professional practice in 1994. Mark is someone who by his own admission has to work hard at his health and much of his knowledge has come through personal experience - something that is not uncommon in the health industry - as much as it has through reading research papers, books, and attending seminars and lectures. Although Mark is not a doctor (which is something he is keen to point out) and he doesn’t wish to be one, he is a man with a wealth of knowledge when it comes to therapeutic supplements, natural health and healing. In this episode with Mark we cover: His personal journey into the natural health world How he sourced his product range Things he looks to avoid when added a supplement to his range Why some of the best supplements are no longer available on the market The reason many of the best products are no longer allowed to have their benefits included in the product text Why he voted to leave the EU for health reasons (everyone needs to hear this) The top 3 products he recommends for keeping healthy & much more When you listen to the show you’ll be able to easily recognise Mark really does know his stuff. From my perspective it’s always refreshing to talk to people who are as passionate about health and keeping our rights to be able to source the highest quality products and food as I am, and Mark is certainly someone with that passion. After the show he also let me into a little secret that will (if all goes to plan) mean some great episodes for you guys involving a project that he’s working on. You can find Mark here: www.thefinchleyclinc.com Enjoy the show and as always don’t forget to share it with your friends and family, as well as writing a review on iTunes.
