Dating in the digital world feels nearly impossible, and for Kevin, it truly is.  In this episode, we dive into the UK-made comedy series "Patterns" focusing on Episode 4: Kevin's Series of Unfortunate Events, which is currently premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival!  Kevin (played by Jake Watkins) is a hopelessly earnest romantic whose optimism far outweighs his self-awareness. By day, he works as a school's Online Safety Salamander. By night, he subjects himself to a relentless series of disastrous dates, convinced that persistence alone will eventually lead to love.  His misadventures become a source of fascination for his colleagues: the confident, sharp-tongued school nurse Vera (Cecilia Noble) and geography teacher Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson). But what Kevin fails to notice is that a genuine connection has been quietly forming much closer to home.  MEET THE CAST & CREATORS • Kevin (Jake Watkins - BBC's 'I Kissed a Boy'): A lovable friend whose life never quite works out, dreaming of a Hollywood career but stuck as a Safety Salamander. • Dave Douglas (Ryan Sampson - Sky's 'Mr Bigstuff', 'Brassic', ITV's 'Plebs'): An eccentric geography teacher with the best intentions who thinks he's "down with the kids." • Vera (Cecilia Noble - BBC's 'Killing Eve', Netflix's 'Black Mirror'): A no-nonsense school nurse who acts as Kevin's anchor with tough love and emergency sausage rolls. • Creator & Writer: Asad Moghal, who drew inspiration from a string of his own real-life dating disasters to create this sharply observed, character-driven comedy. • Director: Rex Glensy, an orchestral conductor turned entertainment lawyer and filmmaker (director of 'Hill of Vision'), representing production company Aurelia Pictures. INSIDE THE DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT "Everyone has had a disaster date... My goal as a director was to take a self-deprecating view of dating nightmares some of us might have had, so that at least we can laugh at ourselves instead of crying. The lead character, Kevin is all of us." Stay connected with me: https://www.chonacas.com/links/

When PR becomes the story, you know you're in trouble.And that's where BP finds itself right now - as the dust begins to settle after a tumultuous week for the company. David Yelland and Lauren Beeching unpick the drama - from the statement announcing the Chairman's shock sacking to the furious response from the man himself. They explain the PR mistakes made by both sides along the way - including creating a vacuum of information and, conversely, saying too much.And after all is said and done, who is the winner of this PR war?Also, on the extended edition on BBC Sounds, we're sticking with sacking. The world of redundancies has changed forever. Companies are now hiring crisis PR firms to manage the moment someone gets fired - because at a time where the person losing their job might have half a million TikTok followers, the old HR playbook just doesn't cut it anymore.And if you've been at the centre of a fan hitter, is it best to slink back to the shadows or try and stay firmly in the limelight? Rebekah Vardy's certainly taking the latter approach. Despite being publicly torn apart during the Wagatha Christie libel trial, she's now invited the cameras in for a new three-part ITV documentary. David and Lauren look at what this could mean for her reputation.Producer: Duncan Middleton Editor: Sarah Teasdale Executive Producer: Eve Streeter Music by Eclectic Sounds A Raconteur Studios production for BBC Radio 4

On this week's episode, Al sits down with Jermaine from Stately Home Developments, a luxury renovation and construction brand built from the ground up over the last five years. Jermaine's path into the trades is one of the most unexpected we've come across. Starting out on weekends with his granddad doing kitchen and bathroom fits in East London, he quickly realised construction was where he belonged. But before going all in, he took a serious detour into the world of acting, extra work on Spider-Man sets, BBC and ITV productions, film festivals, networking with directors, and eventually a gig in Atlanta after living in Malta and South Africa. When Covid hit, he came back to the UK and went full steam ahead with Stately Home Developments, and hasn't looked back. In this episode, we cover how social media has transformed the way he wins work, why putting your face to the brand gives you the upper hand before you even arrive on site, what he learned watching a terrible builder somehow win premium jobs, the real cost of running a construction business on relationships and mental load, and why investing in yourself early is always cheaper than waiting.

While the podcast team is taking a Radical Sabbatical, Kim is interviewing authors of the books that have had a big impact on her in the past two years.  In this episode, Kim speaks with Gary Gerstle, best-selling author of The Rise and Fall of the Neoliberal Order and ten other books. Kim said that after reading this book, she began to feel that when it comes to economic policy, we really have a one-party system. The architect of the New Deal Order was FDR, a Democrat, but its general contractor was Eisenhower, arguably the most progressive of all American presidents. The architect of the Neoliberal order was Reagan, but its general contractor was Clinton. Kim also said that reading this book made her realize that, time and again throughout her career, she thought she was working towards progressive ends, not understanding how neoliberalism had taken hold of the Democratic Party.  Gerstle explains that “the phrase political order is meant to connote a constellation of ideologies, policies, and constituencies that shape American politics in ways that endure beyond the two-, four-, and six-year election cycles. In the last hundred years, America has had two political orders: the New Deal order that arose in the 1930s and 1940s, crested in the 1950s and 1960s, and fell in the 1970s; and the neoliberal order that arose in the 1970s and 1980s, crested in the 1990s and 2000s, and fell in the 2010s At the heart of each of these two political orders stood a distinctive program of political economy. The New Deal order was founded on the conviction that capitalism left to its own devices spelled economic disaster. It had to be managed by a strong central state able to govern the economic system in the public interest. The neoliberal order, by contrast, was grounded in the belief that market forces had to be liberated from government regulatory controls that were stymying growth, innovation, and freedom. The architects of the neoliberal order set out in the 1980s and 1990s to dismantle everything that the New Deal order had built across its forty-year span. Now it, too, is being dismantled.  Alarmingly, there seems to be no coherent policy around whatever it is replacing the Neoliberal order–just a mad grab for wealth, leading to even greater disparities than those that led to the Gilded Age's excesses and to the Great Depression. Guest Background: Gary Gerstle is Paul Mellon Professor of American History Emeritus and Paul Mellon Director of Research at the University of Cambridge. He is the author and editor of more than ten books, including two prizewinners, American Crucible (2017) and Liberty and Coercion (2015).

This is a special episode of the Driven by Data Podcast, where we publish our recent NED webinar!Featuring JoAnn Stonier, Ex-CDO Mastercard, Lara Izlan, Director of Data, ITV and Abbi Agana, CEO, Leathermarket JMBOur speakers shared career trajectories into NED roles, emphasising diverse backgrounds (data, media, housing, finance, privacy) and recurring themes: continuous change, giving back, mentorship, and strategic coaching mindset.How to break into NED roles: build a board CV, clarify your 'why' and value proposition, leverage networks, observe boards, speak to chairs and current board members, and use targeted communities and programs.Differences between nonprofit and for-profit board experience: governance skills transfer but scale and profile matter; large/high-profile nonprofits can be gateways to commercial boards while small trustee roles mainly develop governance experience.What boards look for: subject-matter expertise gets you noticed, but financial literacy, generalist judgement, governance and fiduciary responsibility are baseline requirements; c-suite title is not strictly necessary.Practical expectations of NED work: time commitment varies (frequently ~20–25 hours/month for active boards), includes prep, board meetings, committee work, possible ad-hoc meetings and retreats, and requires doubling stated prep time as a rule of thumb.Common pitfalls and mindset shifts: NEDs must adopt 'noses in, hands out' approach, avoid being a hands-on operator, focus on strategic advisory and support rather than doing the work for exec teams.Thanks to our sponsor, Data & AI Literacy Academy.Data & AI Literacy Academy is leading the way in transforming enterprise workforces with data literacy across the organisation, through a combination of change management and education.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, Pete, Chris, and Sids are joined by one of England's toughest ever players… Terry Butcher.From THAT iconic blood-soaked shirt to facing Diego Maradona at the height of his powers, Terry takes us right inside the chaos, passion, and brutality of football in the 80s and 90s.The lads dive deep into Italia 90, the legendary England dressing room, Gazza stories, Bobby Robson's management style, and why Terry believes modern football has “gone soft”.

Tell us what you like or dislike about this episode!! Be honest, we don't bite!The press didn't just cancel Dapper Laughs. They tried to bury him.Dapper Laughs (Dan O'Reilly) was one of the first comedy influencers in the UK, built millions of followers from Vine to Facebook before TikTok existed, landed a TV show on ITV2, then watched it all collapse overnight. A press campaign branded him pro-r*pe, 60,000 people signed a petition, venues pulled out, promoters walked, and even the small comedy clubs wouldn't touch him. He lost the show, the tour, the money, the house, and his father... all around the same time.In this conversation, Dan gets into the stuff most people only talk about once they're through it: what cancellation actually does to your mental health, how addiction crept in when the work dried up, and how sobriety, grief, and a brutal boxing regime became the foundation of a comeback nobody saw coming. He's now 1000+ days sober, on his biggest ever tour, turning his mental health platform into a registered charity, and writing his first original screenplay. The industry that blacklisted him can't ignore him anymore. Chapters0:00 - Coming Up0:14 - Intro0:31 - From Vine to ITV to Cancelled6:04 - Rock Bottom, Addiction, Loss and Nearly Losing His Life7:40 - Life on the Other Side of the Drink9:37 - The Turning Point: Grief, Audience and Mindset11:53 - Character Creation & Testing Material15:02 - Building a Brand They Couldn't Cancel19:22 - How Fatherhood and Sobriety Changed Everything20:55 - Why He Stopped Apologising for His Comedy22:53 - Two Films and How He Gamed Amazon to Go Number One26:57 - Boxing, Sobriety and Silencing the Voice30:43 - The One Thing That Could Still Break Him31:59 - The Friends He Lost When He Stopped Saying Yes34:31 - What's Next and Final ThoughtsFollow Dapper LaughsInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/dappersinstagram/Enjoyed this episode?

This episode is sponsored by Deel.Hire, manage and pay – anyone, anywhere: https://www.deel.com/nickdayhr/ In this episode of @thehrldpodcast Nick Day is joined by Britain Stelly, founder of Creature Courage and one of the UK's leading experts in phobia therapy and fear transformation, featured on Good Morning Britain, Sky News, BBC Radio 2, and ITV. With over a decade of experience helping thousands of people break free from deep-rooted fears, Britain is now bringing that proven science directly into the workplace.Britain brings a rare combination of exotic animal husbandry, clinical anxiety coaching, and over a decade of live exposure therapy into the world of leadership and organisational development. Together, Nick and Britain explore why fear is the most underrated and underdiagnosed cost inside organisations today, and why the gap between a good team and a high-performing one almost always comes down to the fears nobody is talking about.This conversation unpacks what it truly means to overcome fear from the inside out. Nick and Britain discuss why avoidance never makes fear smaller, only louder, how the caveman brain is quietly sabotaging your team's decisions and conversations every single day, and why exposure therapy creates lasting transformation that no lecture, workshop, or wellbeing initiative ever could. They explore why psychological safety cannot be built on comfort alone, why the most effective leaders are the ones willing to face fear openly, and how a single shared experience of courage can transform the culture of an entire team.They also explore the neuroscience behind why you cannot think your way out of fear, why the amygdala and prefrontal cortex must be shown rather than told, and how Britain's Reject, Reframe, Replace technique gives individuals a practical tool to interrupt anxiety at the thought level. The discussion highlights why imposter syndrome is just fear wearing a professional disguise, why failure is a primitive survival instinct that modern leaders must learn to override, and how vulnerability in leadership is not a weakness but the most respected quality a leader can possess.In a world where anxiety is at an all-time high and teams are growing more disengaged, this episode examines why fear transformation may be the most important investment HR and L&D leaders can make in 2026, and how organizations that build cultures of courage will outperform those that simply manage comfort.A must-listen for HR leaders, L&D professionals, and anyone ready to stop letting fear make their decisions for them and start building the kind of courage that moves teams, careers, and organizations forward.Enjoyed this?

Today's guest is someone whose voice - and face - I think most of us know instantly. Dermot O'Leary has been such a constant in British life for years now, from hosting The X Factor, to his Friday slot on This Morning, to his weekend shows on BBC Radio 2.He's had this really varied career - presenting everything from major live events like the Brit Awards and BAFTAs, to documentaries, and his more recent travel and food series Taste of Ireland with Dermot O'Leary on ITV, which is back for a second season. What I loved about this conversation is how much of his life has been shaped by travel. He grew up in an Irish family, going back and forth between England and Ireland, with those long childhood journeys to Wexford becoming some of his earliest memories. And that sense of place, of identity, of belonging really runs through everything he talks about in this episode.So today, we're diving into the seven chapters of Dermot's travel diaries, from those childhood summers in Ireland, to travelling solo across America, winter escapes to Norway to the Italian region that's completely stolen his heart.Holly's Destination Recap:- Priesteregg Resort, Leogang, Austria Dermot's Destination Recap: Soneva Fushi, MaldivesWexford, IrelandCurracloe Beach, IrelandCahore, IrelandSt Davids, United KingdomFishguard, United KingdomDordogne, FranceAtlantic Coast France, FranceNorfolk, United KingdomBodrum, TurkeyDonegal, IrelandSligo, IrelandCauseway Coastal Route, United KingdomBallycastle, United KingdomPortrush, United KingdomPortstewart, United KingdomDerry, United KingdomColeraine, United KingdomNew York City, United StatesWashington DC, United StatesNew Orleans, United StatesLos Angeles, United StatesHermosa Beach, United StatesSeattle, United StatesPuglia, ItalySalento, ItalyOslo, NorwayBygdøy, NorwayLofoten Islands, NorwayBergen, NorwayKirkenes, NorwayPrague, Czech RepublicJapan, JapanSouth Korea, South KoreaNew England, United StatesMaine, United StatesDERMOT O'LEARY'S TASTE OF IRELAND kicks off on Saturday 2nd May on ITV 1 and ITVX, in partnership with Tourism Ireland With thanks to…Citalia - Discover the real Italy with Citalia, the UK's leading Italian holiday specialists.
