What's it like reporting on the industrial crisis which led to the recall of parliament at the weekend? Sky's Economics Editor Ed Conway describes his difficulties gaining access to the Chinese owned British Steel factory in Scunthorpe, BBC North reporter Jo Makel has followed the story for years and former BBC political correspondent Nick Jones is a veteran of industrial reporting and author of "The Lost Tribe: Whatever Happened to Fleet Street's Industrial Correspondents?" Intellectual property law in the age of artificial intelligence under threat: At the weekend Jack Dorsey, co-founder of Twitter, posted “delete all IP law” on the social media platform, now rebranded as X. Current owner Elon Musk swiftly responded to the tweet with: “I agree." Dr Hayleigh Bosher, Reader in Intellectual Property Law at Brunel University, takes us through Dorsey's argument and what it tells us about Big Tech's changing attitude towards copyright. Amit Katwala, features editor at Wired, profiles Alexis Ohanian.

1649 was a significant year in British History because King Charles I was executed for treason. A lesser known, but arguably equally important, historical moment occurred in that same year: the first publication of the Qu'ran in English. Surprisingly, it was instigated by an English woman, called Margaret White, who was the wife of a printer called Robert based in Fleet Street, London.Based on historical research, this drama imagines the circumstances as to how the Qu'ran came to be first published in the English language.Cast: Margaret .........

 As The Three Old Hacks gather for their latest episode, they dive into the state of UK politics and economic growth. David Smith offers a measured analysis of Britain's growth prospects, suggesting that while some improvement is expected, it may fall short of historical averages. Mihir Bose expresses concern about the rising cost of living and its impact on British dining culture, while Nigel Dudley defends his wine collection and shares insights on changing restaurant habits. The conversation weaves through Brexit's curious absence from political discourse, despite declining public support.The trio then tackles the worrying decline in faith in mainstream political parties, with David highlighting the troubling shift away from centrist politics. They share their perspectives on recent political developments in both the UK and US, with particular attention to the challenges facing the Tory party and Labour. The conversation takes on a sombre tone as they discuss how the political system is increasingly perceived as being run by elites, disconnected from ordinary voters.Former Sports editor of BBC News Mihir Bose, political analyst Nigel Dudley and Economics Editor of the Sunday Times David Smith share their decades of experience in this engaging discussion of current affairs. Get in contact with the podcast by emailing threeoldhacks@outlook.com, we'd love to hear from you!

Sweeney Todd is a fictional character who first appeared as the villain of the Penny Dreadful serial The String of Pearls (1846–1847). The original tale became a feature of 19th-century Melodrama and London Legend. A Barber from Fleet Street, Todd murders his customers with a straight razor and gives their corpses to Mrs Lovett, his partner in crime, who bakes there flesh into meat pies. The tale has been retold many times since in various media. Claims that Sweeney Todd was a historical person are disputed strongly by scholars, although possible legendary prototypes exist. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/ang189/support

This week, Tommy is joined by actor and singer Jamie Campbell Bower, best known for playing the highly talked about villain Henry, aka Vecna, in the smash-hit Netflix series, Stranger Things. His performance has forever cemented him as being one of the most epic villains in the history of television and film. Jamie is currently in the middle of filming the fifth and final season of the series. You may also know Jamie from captivating audiences as Anthony in Tim Burton's 2007 gothic musical extravaganza, Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street and co-starring in The Moral Instruments: City of Bones, or from Fantastic Beasts, Twilight, and so many other impressive television and film credits. Today Jamie opens up about his brand new single “Home,” why he was delighted but also terrified to step into the country music space, how he often felt like he didn't belong while growing up and still sometimes feels that today, the fine line between maintaining privacy but also opening up in his music, a sneak peek into what filming the final season of Stranger Things has been like, if his voice ever gets hoarse from playing Vecna, why that voice is sacred to him, his brand new movie dropping June 28th called Horizon, why he wants to glamorize sobriety, the importance of embracing the beautiful moments in life, and how he is still getting used to all of the attention that comes with being on a hit tv show. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jack's Boys by John Katzenbach https://amzn.to/3X9WTtH From #1 internationally bestselling author John Katzenbach Five serial killers ... Known only to each other as: Alpha. Bravo. Charlie. Delta. Easy. Connected through a secure internet location, encrypted and concealed, a unique chat room they have named Jack's Special Place in homage to their ultimate model--the one killer they hold in the highest esteem: Whitechapel, London. 1888. The infamous murderer remembered in dark history as Jack the Ripper. And so, they are Jack's Boys. They delight in each other's crimes. They relish in taunting police around the world with odd clues and deep confusion--the modern version of the Victorian-era killer they emulate. While the original Jack sent letters to Fleet Street papers, they send pictures and online boasts and insults. In this fashion, they feed on each other's killings, a private community of death. Arrogant. Conceited. Untouchable. Or so they thought. Until one day they are hacked. Two teenagers, lying on their bed at home. Boyfriend and girlfriend. Slightly disaffected, each with their own issues--but deeply in young love and equally fascinated by the world of the dark web, where they accidentally stumble upon Jack's Boys in their private space . . . Whom they immediately mock. This triggers a landslide of anger and revenge as the killers decide to teach the two teenagers a lesson in humility and respect for their betters. And caught up in this web of death are the teenage boy's grandmother and grandfather--an ICU nurse and a former college admissions counselor with his own hidden, murderous history, an ex-Marine, Viet vet, still haunted by his time in that conflict. When the five killers emerge from their shadows, this odd band of young and old will have to find a way to expose them. Or defeat them. Or save their own lives. Katzenbach is New York Times bestselling and Edgar Award nominated author, with a background as a criminal court reporter for the Miami Herald and Miami News. He currently lives in Western Massachusetts. Notably, Scarlett Johansson is set to lead the Amazon limited series ‘Just Cause' based on Katzenbach's novel.
