Now Sharon Osbourne joins Uncensored to call for Glastonbury Festival to cancel the band - but does the rest of Piers Morgan's guests agree? Also going the debate is host of 'Vlad TV' DJ Vlad, American-Israeli rapper Nissim Black, youth culture guru and FaZe Clan CEO Lee Trink and Palestinian journalist Ahmed Eldin.

Paul Thomas grew up in a Christian family. He went to church meetings every week. But Paul wasn't the type to just blindly follow his parents. He experimented. First cigarettes, then drink, then drugs…eventually the rave scene and the Glastonbury Festival (see photo above). But God pursued him. A near heroin overdose…his two brothers becoming saved…and finally, his beloved grandfather's passing, whose funeral brought Paul to a crisis. Then it happened. He was saved by the amazing grace of God. The post I'm Not Brainwashed – I'm Saved! (41 min) first appeared on Gospel Hall Audio.
I'm thrilled to have Georgie Fuller and Will Turner of The Heavy Heavy on the show this week!! Just off their amazing Fall tour in support of their debut full-length album, One of a Kind, Georgie and Will sit down to reflect with me on everything from touring, to their unique musical partnership, to the impact of bringing their retro-sounding but forward-facing vibe to audiences across the country and into the UK and Europe. A product of their love of the 60s and early 70s, Georgie and Will love that sound of a bygone era, but at the same time have created something entirely unique and absolutely stunning and special. All that said, these two are stellar humans who have a fun-loving and sweet vibe that sends ripples of positivity throughout their music, and who doesn't love that? We talk about it all in this amazing conversation. So let's all celebrate going back to the future with The Heavy Heavy!!

This week's Local Legends episode sees Martin gather round the Three Ravens campfire with the rather extraordinary Dr Kevan Manwaring, a multi-talented son of Northamptonshire who is also a true champion of the underdog.Kevan has written in the region of 30 books, including his collections of Oxfordshire and Northamptonshire Folk Tales, and his tremendous collection Ballad Tales - and that's not to mention his academic writing on the Bardic tradition, or his poetry and novels!These days he is the course leader for the MA in Creative Writing at Arts University Bournemouth, with his current academic focus being around ecofiction – a subject we'll explore in some depth during our conversation. For many people though, he will be more familiar as a storyteller and performance poet, in which guise Kevan has performed all over the place, including live on BBC One, at Glastonbury Festival, and at innumerable bookshops, museums, heritage sites, and in schools. Touring both solo and in group shows, he has performed internationally in Germany, Italy, Greece, and North America, and has written so much, across so many forms, it's frankly a bit ridiculous.Elsewhere, he has contributed articles to journals including English Review, was an academic consultant for BBC 4's The Secret Life of Books, and is a panellist on BBC Radio 3's Free Thinking.In our chat we cover a dizzying array of topics, from Dungeons & Dragons to Kevan's friendships with the likes of Alan Moore and Ronald Hutton, the life and legacy of the poet John Clare, Northampton's role in the birth of the Goth movement, ghosts, animism, the Bardic tradition, and much more besides.You can learn more about his work on his website at https://thebardicacademic.wordpress.com/, though before you do, have a listen to him in conversation, as he's outstanding company!Otherwise, we'll be back on Monday with a bumper-length county episode (bumper-length as it's our last for a little while) all about the history and folklore of Westmoreland, all before we begin our month-long miniseries of ghost stories and spooky content for October - our second annual Haunting Season! The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

A conversation with Stephen Sanchez - singer inspired by the music of the 1950's & 60's with the swagger of Elvis to match, who was in Japan to perform at Summer Sonic music festival in August 2024. In our allotted five minutes (standard for music festival press) Sanchez shares his thoughts on performing with Elton John at Glastonbury Festival, why music, and indeed the world, needs to be more loving and less selfish, and what goes through his mind with eyes closed while singing.

They say money can't buy happiness, but it can buy power, freedom, and security. The one per cent – who control nearly half of the world's wealth – understand this better than anyone. In capitalist democracies, corporations spend billions on political donations and lobbying to influence economic policies in line with their own interests. The trillions spent by governments in propping up the banks following the 2008 financial crash – and the bailing out of the largest corporations through the Covid Corporate Financing Facility – speak volumes: the state and the economy are not separate entities. The goal of the state is clear: “Steady the ship and maintain course.” Corporations don't just pose a threat to our economic freedoms, but the future of the natural world. Just a handful of firms are responsible for over seventy per cent of carbon emissions, and despite public pressure, corporate action on the climate crisis has been largely ineffective. We shouldn't be surprised; after all, industry holds the power, and turkeys don't vote for Christmas.

But what if we started pitting some of those creatures against each other? It's like the classic boxing matches that everyone got excited for. When Godzilla arrived on screen, it didn't take long to see how the battles could be even bigger! (pun intended) Those ‘vs' movies started with him battling another behemoth star named King Kong. The pandora's box of ‘vs' ideas had been open and now creators were matching all kinds of characters so that now we have a whole slew of exciting flicks. Jay and Shua generate a random list of characters and try to decide who would win if they made a movie with them. What vs movies do you like? Which characters would you like to see go toe-to-toe? First person that emails me with the subject line, “In this corner…” will get a special mention on the show. Let us know.

In a world first, methane from slurry on a dairy farm in Somerset is being broken down and turned into hydrogen gas and graphene. The farm involved is Worthy Farm, which hosts the Glastonbury Festival. It already has an anaerobic digester which uses slurry from their dairy cows to make methane which is used to make electricity, and now also used to make graphene. We find out how it all works.Last year tens of thousands of sheep in the Netherlands died after contracting bluetongue - a virus transmitted by biting midges. Famers in England are being warned to be vigilant for signs of the disease, and scientists at the Pirbright Institute in Surrey are studying midges to try to predict what might happen this summer.And a shortage of vets means recruiting can be a challenge - and it can be even harder for practices in remote areas. We visit from practice in Fort William in the West Highlands who are finding it difficult to recruit a new member of staff.Presented by Anna Hill Produced for BBC Audio in Bristol by Heather Simons
