We're back with another episode of I Had Trials Once and this time we're joined by former Gateshead, Barrow, Blackburn, Bolton, Morecambe and current Boreham Wood midfielder Tom White. Tom sits down with Gaz & Jord as he discusses his time in football from suffering heartbreak in the recent National League play-off final against Rochdale to loving life playing men's football. The lads start the pod talking about Tom's time at Boreham Wood, their brilliant season and how difficult it was to deal with the heartbreak of losing against Rochdale in the play-off final. They then talk in depth about Tom's upbringing in the North East playing grass roots football, his experience as a youth player at Carlisle and struggling to get trials at other clubs. The trio then chat about why Tom's ACL injury was the best thing that ever happened to him as it gave him the kick start his career needed at some important loan moves. Tom then speaks about how his time at Gateshead earnt him a move to former Premier League champions Blackburn Rovers before he soon realised the move was the wrong one to make. Tom continues with his love for Barrow during his first loan spell, why he struggled to make an impact at Bolton Wanderers and his experience of working with Dave Challinor at Hartlepool. Finally, he talks about returning to Barrow on a permanent, pre-season stag do's which included swapping shirts with a murderer and George Ray's naked darts against Pete Wild.

Ahead of season two of Smoggie Queens, Rob heads to The Clubhouse with actor Peter McPherson for a funny, honest and surprisingly deep conversation about identity, performance, body image and growing up queer in the North East.From working men's clubs in Hartlepool to drama school reinvention, self-tapes, soap operas, gym culture and the politics of who gets to tell which stories, this one moves from laugh-out-loud backstage gossip to genuinely thoughtful debate.Peter talks about returning home through Smoggie Queens, learning BSL, navigating the acting industry as a gay performer, and why the things we try hardest to hide are often the things that make us unique. There's also plenty of chat about Corrie, Hollyoaks, Gregg's, amateur sports clubs and the strange world of being “shown off” in your parents' local working men's club.Warm, sharp, camp and unexpectedly moving — just like the best nights at the clubhouse bar. #StageDoorAthletic #SmoggieQueens #BBCThree #PeterMcPherson #LGBTQStories #QueerTV #BritishComedy #NorthernVoices #ActorLife #BehindTheScenes #TheatrePodcast #TVPodcast #Greggs #ChosenFamily #BSL #BritishActors #PhilDunning #QueerCultureHosts: Jack Loxton & Rob Shaw CameronEdited by: Rob Shaw CameronGuest: Peter McPherson@jackloxton1 @robshawcameron@peter_mcpherson_Stage Door Athletic is a [NON]FICTION PEOPLE Podcast © [NON]FICTION PEOPLE LtdPRS Licence: LC-002182Visit our website for more information on this and other great podcasts.Published by RiversideFMNeed Your Love So Bad - Fleetwood Mac ℗ This compilation 2009 Sony Music Entertainment UK

The UK political landscape has just been permanently altered. In this emergency episode of Whitehall Sources, Calum Macdonald, Jo Tanner and James Nation deconstruct a seismic set of local election results.From Labour losing power in Wales for the first time in history to Reform UK gaining over 1,400 councillors, the "two-party system" is under fire. We analyse:The Welsh Upset: Why the First Minister lost her seat and what it means for the Union.The Reform Surge: How Farage's party is putting down roots from Essex to Hartlepool.Starmer's "New" Old Guard: The shocking return of Gordon Brown and Harriet Harman.

It's results day, and Nigel Farage is the local elections winner – again. A wave of teal has swept the country, stealing Labour seats from Hartlepool to Havering.This election was sold by insurgent parties as a referendum on Keir Starmer and the story of Labour's election so far is that they're haemorrhaging votes on all sides – including to the Tories in Westminster. So what can we interpret so far? Will Starmer get the message and will the herd move against him?Michael Gove speaks to Tim Shipman, James Heale and Charlotte Pickles, chief executive of thinktank Re:State, at this morning's Coffee House Shots breakfast briefing.Become a Spectator subscriber today to access this podcast without adverts.

In the House of Commons, Keir Starmer said that Peter Mandelson had ‘betrayed our country, our parliament and my party'.But what was that betrayal and who was actually complicit?On Free State today we look at the rise and fall of Peter Mandelson. We explain why the election of a football mascot monkey as mayor in Hartlepool was an early sign of who Mandelson was. We explain how Mandelson worked to undermine Jeremy Corbyn and advance a corporate agenda where New Labour would be ‘intensely relaxed about people getting filthy rich'.We also examine the link between Starmer's right hand man Cork's Morgan McSweeney and Mandelson. In the House of Commons Starmer said ‘if I knew then what I know now, Mandelson would never have been anywhere near government.'We show how it was impossible not to know who Peter Mandelson was. Only more details have been revealed. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Bishop Philip North about cultivating communities of God's people in Blackburn in the North West of England. We encounter a leader responsible for shaping the life of the institutional church with a remarkable incarnational imagination. Bishop Philip's journey has taught him the fundamental importance of listening to poor and working class communities and the imperative of going deeply local. He knows that this is how Christian life is lived vividly as a sign of love and justice on the ground. His passion for people and place is striking, as is his clear sense of calling to servant leadership. His simple desire is to form a people who are deeply invested in their local communities and liberated through being in love with Jesus. Rather than leading with strategies from the top, he understands that power must be shared and delights in empowering unlikely local people to lead. This is an encouraging witness to the ways in which the church can shine forth the wonder of Christ.Philip North is the Bishop of Blackburn in the Anglican Diocese which serves most of the county of Lancashire in the UK. He began ministry in the Diocese of Durham, serving outer estates Parishes in Sunderland and Hartlepool, and then spent six years ministering to pilgrims to the Shrine of Our Lady of Walsingham as Priest Administrator. He returned to parochial ministry as Team Rector of the Parish of Old St Pancras, serving a large area of North-west London around Camden Town. He was consecrated Bishop of Burnley in February 2015 and translated to the See of Blackburn in 2023. He has a strong interest in issues around poverty and social justice and in the vitality of the urban church. He is a member of the Company of Mission Priests, a dispersed community who live to a rule in order to focus their lives on the mission of the church, especially amongst the poor.LinksFor Bishop Philip:https://www.blackburn.anglican.org/bishop-philiphttps://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/uncategorised/no-repentance-no-renewalhttps://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/b04cffq1For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Website: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Predictably, Peter Mandelson's return to the centre of the political stage has ended in crisis. Mandelson's influence on Keir Starmer grew after Labour lost the Hartlepool by-election in the early days of Starmer's leadership. The fashionable narrative is that Starmer changed his strategy for the better after Hartlepool, but is that when the seeds were sown that have led to the current crisis around his leadership? • Rock & Roll Politics is live in the main concert hall at Kings Place on Thursday September 25th at the end of the Labour Party Conference week!

George Parker of the Financial Times assesses the latest developments at WestminsterTo assess the impact of two completely contrasting Oval Office meetings between President Trump and Sir Keir Starmer and then the US president and President Zelensky this week, George is joined by Peter Ricketts, crossbench peer and Britain's first National Security Adviser. And Labour's Baroness Cathy Ashton, who was the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs, leading its response to Russia's annexation of Crimea back in 2014. To discuss Sir Keir Starmer's plans to increase defence spending to 2.5% of national income by cutting the foreign aid budget, George spoke to the Labour MP for Hartlepool, Jonathan Brash and the Greens' Ellie Chowns, who represents North Herefordshire, and spent her career before Parliament working in overseas development.David Gauke, who was Justice Secretary in Theresa May's government and is now leading a review into prisons for Keir Starmer, has been in Texas this week to look at what the UK can learn from prisons there. Rishi Sunak's former chief whip, Simon Hart has just published his diaries spanning his fifteen years in the Commons - in which he saw five prime ministers, four general elections, and plenty of scandals. He discusses this era with The Spectator's Isabel Hardman.

Pete kicks things off with a deeply unsettling childhood memory—let's just say it involves his dad, a used condom, and an innocent misunderstanding that still haunts him to this day.

Then, before they go, they circle back to the infamous Bitcoin tip saga—because, apparently, the guy who lost millions in a landfill still isn't ready to let it go.Email us at hello@lukeandpeteshow.com or you can get in touch on X, Threads or Instagram if character-restricted messaging takes your fancy.***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple, Spotify or wherever you get your pods.

Having helped mastermind Labour's renewal in the 1980s and 1990s, one of British politics best-known figures has just embarked on his latest role.And, it's a long way from Hartlepool, in the post-industrial North-East of England, where he first became an MP. Born in 1953, Peter Mandelson started on the road to party politics as a researcher at the Trades Union Congress. After a stint as a TV producer, he left to take up the role of Labour's director of communications, but his real ambition was a place in Parliament.Even his sternest critics accept he is a slick political operator and a good networker, but he's a controversial figure – with a big challenge ahead. Stephen Smith takes a closer look at the UK's new ambassador to the US, and the man once dubbed the "Prince of Darkness".Production TeamProducers: Sally Abrahams, Mantej Deol, Marianna Brain, Chloe Scannapieco Editor: Ben Mundy Sound: James Beard Production Co-ordinators: Maria Ogundele and Jack YoungCreditsLondon Weekend Television station ident 1970s Jon Culshaw, Imposter Syndrome UK tour

Bombay, now Mumbai, was a major shipbuilding centre for the Royal Navy in the first half of the nineteenth century. The ships were magnificent, built from the famous Malabar teak and by the hands of a highly skilled Indian workforce. This episode explores that fascinating history through one particular aspect of a sailing warship's construction: the figurehead. To find out more Dr Sam Willis spoke with Clare Hunt, a Senior Curator for the National Museum of the Royal Navy based at their site in Hartlepool. Clare has been charged with the care and management of HMS Trincomalee since 2016, a frigate built just after the end of the Napoleonic wars in Bombay dockyard. Hosted on Acast.

From television commercials in the 1970s, to today's toga-ripping, chariot-flipping sequel to Gladiator.Sir Ridley Scott is one of Britain's greatest film directors.The grammar school boy, born in South Shields, spent part of his childhood in Germany before pursuing his passion for art at school in Hartlepool and then the Royal College of Art.But the camera appealed to Scott as much as the canvas, and Stephen Smith has been talking with the Hollywood titan's friends, family and peers to find out more about him - and his work.Production TeamProducers: Nathan Gower and Ben Cooper Editor: Ben Mundy Sound: James Beard Production Co-ordinators: Maria Ogundele CreditsAlien (1979): 20th Century-Fox, Brandywine Productions Gladiator (2000): DreamWorks Pictures, Universal Pictures, Scott Free Productions, Red Wagon Entertainment Napoleon (2023): Apple Studios, Scott Free Productions, Columbia Pictures (through Sony Pictures Releasing) Gladiator II (2024): Scott Free Productions, Lucy Fisher/Douglas Wick Productions, Paramount Pictures

In the 1970s, the shadowy depths of Highgate Cemetery, London became the centre of what would go on to become an enduring urban legend. As two men, both with their own views on what the cemetery was hiding, dug deep into their investigations of the grounds, reports spread of a dark, otherworldly figure stalking its overgrown graves. Sometimes tall, sometimes with glowing red eyes, and other times with a dark, top hat, the press reports of the unknown figure stoked a public fear of a secret occult world that lay just out of sight, crawling beneath the surface of an otherwise decent society.

...for Bruce in Sheffield and Denise in Hartlepool, it's taking on this mighty quiz!

The Young'uns are three award winning troubadours from Teeside. Sean Cooney, David Eagle and Michael Hughes take Matthew Bannister on a walk round the historic headland of Hartlepool where Sean used to live in a shed in his parents' back garden. Along the way they tell stories and sing songs inspired by the location, visiting the medieval Sandwell Gate, St Hilda's Church and the Heugh Battery, site of the only First World War battle to take place on British soil. They end up in the Pot House pub, where the Young'uns used to run a folk club, singing Cooney's original composition “The Hartlepool Pedlar”.

//The Wire//2230Z August 5, 2024////ROUTINE////BLUF: MARKET VOLATILITY STRIKES GLOBAL FINANCIAL MARKETS. BANGLADESH OVERTHROWS GOVERNMENT, PM FLEES COUNTRY. RIOTS CONTINUE IN U.K.// -----BEGIN TEARLINE------International Events-Global: Multiple stock exchanges halted trading on several indexes as markets experienced severe volatility upon opening Monday morning. In the U.S. the NASDAQ dropped by 1,200+ points on opening (which is reportedly the largest drop ever recorded) before recovering somewhat by midday. Many brokerages (to include Fidelity, Charles Schwab/TD Ameritrade, E-Trade, Vanguard, and Robinhood) mysteriously reported cyber incidents and communications outages, which prevented customers from accessing their accounts at the crucial moments of the market opening. AC: Whether this was an intentional degradation or not is right now a matter of speculation. However, as a reminder, these institutions are known for suspiciously-timed outages. Robinhood in particular has a history of openly and deliberately halting trading internally, which they did back in 2021 during the GME scandal. As such, if there is hubris to be had within the financial sector, it will arise from the investors who are blind to the suspicious circumstances that everyone else sees clearly. At some point, but especially when it comes to the long-term reflections of the financial sector, common sense is a more valuable tool than the micro-analysis of a specific incident.Middle East: As the world awaits the next major escalation, conflict continues as Hezbollah strikes Israeli units in the Golan Heights, the West Bank, and varying locations in the North. Hezbollah has specifically stated that this latest missile barrage is not the official response, but rather routine targeting. However, most governments around the world have either directly stated or insinuated that an Iranian attack will take place Monday night. AC: It's not clear as to what intelligence indicates tonight being selected for the Iranian counterattack. Whatever intel it is, is clearly good enough to cause a heightened state of readiness for Western forces throughout the region.United Kingdom: Mass unrest continues as governmental responses to demonstrations and riots alike has worsened the situation to exceptionally grave levels of severity. So far, riots have been reported in the following cities in England: Southport, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Rotherham, Leeds, Hull, Bolton, Liverpool, Birmingham, Stoke, Nottingham, Bristol, and London. Riots have also been reported in Northern Ireland, mostly confined to Belfast. Limited actions have also taken place (mostly low-level demonstrations) throughout the Republic of Ireland as well.Riots throughout England have remained unpredictable, but more kinetic in some areas than others. In Rotherham, a hotel used to house illegal migrants was set on fire, causing those within to evacuate. In Southport (where the riots started due to the stabbing attack there), significant efforts are underway to target those voicing outrage over the attacks. As such, much of the police presence there is not dedicated to quelling unrest, but rather to arrest those posting about the events on social media. Similar censorship efforts are underway in Sunderland, where riots have remained intense. In Liverpool a library that allegedly replaced traditionally English classic works with Islamic texts was set alight, along with a food bank that primarily served migrant communities. Various Middle-Eastern and African businesses and storefronts have been vandalized throughout the nation as tit-for-tat factional violence becomes severe in most major cities.South America: Unrest in Venezuela continues as the crackdown on dissent widens. As Maduro's control of Venezuela becomes more solidified, resistance has begun to move out of the streets, and under the ground. Large pro-Maduro demons

Police are bracing themselves for more violent disorder this weekend. This is in the aftermath of the tragic stabbings in Southport and unrest in London, Hartlepool and Southport. Keir Starmer made a statement yesterday condemning the protests and the involvement of far right actors for stoking up the violence and spreading disinformation online. Is there a double standard in government's response to these latest protests? Oscar Edmondson speaks to Brendan O'Neill and John Woodcock, who advised government on political violence & disruption.  Produced by Cindy Yu and Oscar Edmondson.
