Podcasts about Lord Peter

Iain Dale interviews former head of the Foreign Office and former national security adviser Lord Ricketts - live from Fowey.

“I have the most ill-regulated memory. It does those things which it ought not to do and leaves undone the things it ought to have done. But it has not yet gone on strike altogether.” I've been reading Dorothy L Sayers' Lord Peter Wimsey novels. Set in the 1920s and 30s, the stories feature an aristocratic private detective in a style similar to Sherlock Holmes. And that quote comes from Lord Peter Wimsey himself. In this week's episode, I share some of the productivity methods these fictional characters followed, as well as some from the biographies of these authors.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  1920s and 30s England was an interesting time. The country was changing. The First World War broke down many of the class barriers that existed before the war, and while many manual labour jobs remained brutal, conditions were slowly improving.  The way people lived their lives was also changing. There was more leisure time, and cars were becoming more common, giving people more freedom to travel, certainly at weekends.  And yet, with all these changes, there were still some customs and habits people followed that gave them structure and balance. They also used nature far more than we do today. Lives were much simpler; heart attacks and cancer were rare; there was little waste; and recycling was part of life.  It could be asked, what went wrong? I began this episode with a quote from the character Lord Peter Wimsey.  Lord Peter was very much in the style of Sherlock Holmes, and throughout the novels, many of Lord Peter's friends would often accuse him of being “Sherlockian”.  What I noticed about these characters was that in the 1920s and 30s, some customs helped people avoid procrastination.  You can also see these in play in the Downton Abbey and Jeeves and Wooster TV series as well. The first productivity method you will see is that days were structured around meal times. Breakfast was informal, and people ate when they were ready. However, lunch was always a proper meal, not a quick snack taken at a desk. It would have been unthinkable not to take the one-hour lunch break.  Even manual workers would stop for lunch and eat together.  Taking a proper lunch break can do wonders for your productivity. First, it gives you a break from doing tasks, and it should always be eaten with other people.  But the biggest impact on your productivity was having a natural deadline. Because you were dining with others, you had to stop at the right time. No, “I'll just finish this and take a quick lunch break”.  It was down your tools and go out.  This gave you a hard deadline to finish what needed to be finished before lunch. And when you have a hard deadline, Parkinson's law comes in. This is “work fills the time available” If you have two hours to finish a task, it will take you two hours. If you only have an hour, it will take you an hour. What happens is that you enter a deeper state of focus when you are under time pressure. That's how Parkinson's law works. But it can have the reverse effect.  If an email would normally take you 30 minutes to respond to, but you have an hour before your next appointment, that email will take you the full hour to write.  This is why procrastination is now a thing; in the 1920s and 30s, it was rare. The natural mealtime deadlines prevented a lot of procrastination. Today, those mealtimes are woolly and ill-defined, removing a natural deadline, causing you to procrastinate.  What people ate also had an impact. It was largely fish or meat with vegetables. No HPFs (highly processed foods) or low-value carbs. It was foods that didn't mess with your blood sugar, which leads to the afternoon slump. Alcohol was often also included. How on earth deep focused work got done in the afternoons, I don't know.  Dinner was an altogether different affair. The time was set, and you dressed for dinner too. The ladies wore evening gowns, and the gentlemen wore dinner suits (tuxedo for those of you living on the other side of the Atlantic).  This meant if you did have a job and were not of “independent means”, you had to leave work on time to be home in time to dress for dinner.  After dinner was interesting. The ladies would gather together in the drawing room for music and conversation. The gentlemen would retire to the smoking room for brandy, coffee and cigars. There, the day's business was often discussed.  This was the aristocracy, not the middle or working classes. Although even the lower classes treated dinner more formally than we do today. It was the family meal of the day, and everyone was expected to be there.  After that, people often wrote letters, read books, or, in the case of people like Winston Churchill, went back to their studies and did some more work.  And that was something I have noticed. Because there were no fixed working hours for the upper classes, work occurred at all hours of the day. A lot of work happened after dinner, rarely in the early hours of the day.  This gave a lot more flexibility for things like admin and communications. Most letter writing was done late in the day. The founder of the British Intelligence Service (MI6), Sir Mansfield Cumming, would retire to his study after dinner to read through all the papers he'd received that day and send out letters to his agents around the world, often until 2 in the morning.  Yet Cumming was famous for two to three-hour lunches and late starts to the day.  The problems we have today are caused by on-demand entertainment. There's always something to watch on YouTube or Netflix. And our sofas are very tempting after a nice dinner.  Once there, it's a real challenge to get up. Take those temptations away, and what else will you do?  If you think about that for a moment. If a family had dinner together at 7:00 pm, discussed the day, and afterwards joined in an activity, they would be spending quality time together every day.  Then at 9:00 pm, you could go back and clean up your messages, clear any admin tasks for an hour or so and still have time for reading or a hobby.  It's often our fixation with work-life balance that puts unnecessary barriers in our day. No personal stuff during office hours and no work stuff in our personal time.  And yet, what do we do in our personal time? Spend hours in front of a screen, not talking with our family or friends, instead sending WhatsApp messages and commenting on social media posts.  Cal Newport and Tim Ferriss write their books late in the evening. In Cal Newport's case, he spends time with his young family until they go to bed, and then goes to his home office and writes for two or three hours.  Cal Newport is a good example because he's completely rejected social media, so he has time to write after his kids have gone to bed.  Rest was taken very seriously in the 1920s and 30s. A lot of it was social. Parties and weekend getaways.  I've spoken about Ian Fleming's work habits before, particularly when he was in Jamaica writing the next James Bond book. But when he was back in London, he still worked in very much the same way.  Mornings were intensely focused work, followed by a long lunch, then letters, and then home for dinner, or out with a friend. Afterwards, he would go to his study and edit a manuscript or read through the papers he'd received from his foreign correspondents around the world. (He was the foreign news editor at The Sunday Times Newspaper) The most noticeable thing I learned from this era has been to structure your days around meal times. I now do intense creative work in the mornings, followed by more leisurely afternoons, and then, after dinner, go back to doing some work for an hour or two.  I still work for around eight to ten hours a day, but I find that my energy levels remain strong whenever I am working. There are plenty of breaks throughout the day where I can socialise, spend time with my family and still get a lot of work done.  And then there was movement. A lot of movement.  The 1920s and 30s were a lot less convenient than they are today. This meant we had to walk a lot more than we do now.  Weirdly, people have become obsessed with their step count today. They struggle to get even 8,000 steps in. And gyms are everywhere. There were no gyms, and nobody was counting steps back then. They didn't have to. It was natural to walk 10,000+ steps every day. If you wanted food, you had to prepare it; there was no app to order it.  Although the upper classes did have servants who could produce it for them when necessary. But given that refrigerators and microwaves were not a thing then, a sudden order of food would have resulted in a cold meat salad and not much else. As an aside, just do a search for 1950s New York or London and look at the images. There's a significant difference between the size of people then and people today. Yet, no gyms, no smartwatches calculating steps, sleep cycles, or anything else.  It was purely natural. Real food, not processed rubbish, plenty of natural movement, and no gyms.  If you want to be more productive every day, move more. This is really what balance is all about. The so-called work-life balance is a modern concept, but what really matters at life level is the movement-rest balance.  With the right movement-rest balance, your productivity will naturally increase. You will be a lot less mentally tired, and when you do move, you can map out what you will do next.  I find that the biggest benefit of working from home has been that I can get up between work sessions to do the laundry or take Louis out for his walk. It gives me a natural mental break, and I do something physical. That refreshes my brain, and I can come back and do some more mental work feeling energised.  I know it will be impossible to turn back the clock and go back to living the way people did in the 1920s. Technology and cultural changes would make that impossible.  However, there are things we can do, as people did back then, that will naturally increase our productivity.  First, focus on the rest-movement balance. If you're mentally tired, do something physical instead of collapsing on the sofa. If you're physically tired, do something mental.  And move more than you currently do. We have become alarmingly sedate today. Dance while you're cooking or making tea or coffee (I do that hahaha) Eat real food, not processed rubbish, and take proper lunch breaks. Get out, move and socialise if you can. Treat them as a non-negotiable.  Be relaxed about work-life balance. It's not natural. There will be times when the best thing you can do is to clear some backlogs in the evening, and equally, there are times when the best thing you can do at 3:00 pm is go out for a walk or hang out the washing.  Another aside. The worst invention has been the tumble dryer. Before we had them, we had to hang out the washing. This involved bending down to pick up clothes from the washing basket and then reaching up to hang them on the line. Possible one of the best workouts you would ever get.  I know today's episode has been different. I hope you've found it interesting. It's well worth reading some of these older novels to learn how people used to live their lives.  Thank you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you all a very, very active, yet productive week.   

After a painful failure, Peter returned to what was familiar—fishing on the sea. But in a moment he never expected, Jesus appeared on the shore and called out to them. What followed was a powerful encounter where a disappointing night turned into an overwhelming catch, and a broken disciple was lovingly restored.This message reminds us that failure is not the end when Jesus steps into the story. The same Lord Peter denied was the one who prepared breakfast for him and reaffirmed his calling. God knows how to restore, recommission, and give new opportunities to those who are willing to come back to Him.

In September 2025, Peter Mandelson — then the United Kingdom's Ambassador to the United States — was dismissed (effectively recalled and fired) by Prime Minister Keir Starmer after revelations about his longstanding social relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein surfaced. Emails published earlier that year showed Mandelson had maintained contact with Epstein after Epstein's 2008 conviction and had expressed supportive sentiments toward him, which diplomats said was far deeper than what had been known at the time of his appointment. Those communications raised questions about his judgment and suitability for the high-profile diplomatic post, prompting Starmer to remove him from the position immediately.In February 2026, the scandal escalated when authorities arrested Mandelson on 23 February on suspicion of misconduct in public office. This followed the release of internal documents and emails from the U.S. Department of Justice's Epstein files suggesting he may have shared sensitive government information with Epstein during his time in government in 2009–10. As part of the fallout, Mandelson resigned from the House of Lords and the Labour Party, and British police executed search warrants at his residences as part of a criminal investigation. His arrest reflects widening legal and political consequences from the Epstein file revelations that have also embroiled other high-profile figures.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

PREVIEW FOR LATER TODAY Guest: Joseph Sternberg. Sternberg reports on allegations linking Lord Peter Mandelson to Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting Britain faces a convulsive investigation to uncover the truth behind the released documents.1793 TRIAL OF THE BANK FORGERS

Fresh allegations have emerged linking former UK-US Ambassador Lord Mandelson to Jeffrey Epstein. Newly released files suggest Mandelson shared internal government information with the convicted sex offender. The revelations follow the release of photographs showing Mandelson in his underwear. Mandelson was sacked as the ambassador last year and is now stepping down from the UK Labour Party entirely. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking the Labour Party's leadership is tainted, as Sir Keir Starmer made him the Ambassador having known he had connections with Epstein.

In the wake of renewed scrutiny over his long-standing friendship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, veteran British politician Lord Peter Mandelson has offered a deeply qualified response that has inflamed survivors and critics alike. In a high-profile BBC interview, Mandelson acknowledged his association with Epstein was a “terrible mistake” and expressed regret for the systemic failures that allowed Epstein's victims to be ignored and unprotected. He also accepted that his undisclosed communications and supportive emails to Epstein — written even after Epstein's 2008 conviction — contributed to his dismissal as the UK's ambassador to the United States and acknowledged the serious consequences of the controversy for his own career. However, while Mandelson expressed sympathy for the suffering of Epstein's victims and apologized for the broader institutional shortcomings that failed them, he refused to offer a direct personal apology to survivors for his friendship or to accept that he was culpable in any way for Epstein's crimes. Instead, he insisted he genuinely did not know about Epstein's criminal conduct and maintained he was not “complicit or culpable” in the abuse, citing his own lack of knowledge and arguing that, as a gay man, he had been largely excluded from the aspects of Epstein's life connected to the abuse.Mandelson's remarks have provoked sharp criticism from political figures and Epstein survivors who see his refusal to apologize personally as tone-deaf and insufficient given the gravity of Epstein's abuses and Mandelson's own continued association with him after his conviction. Cabinet ministers and commentators argued that anyone linked to Epstein should accept responsibility for the “lapse of judgment” that allowed such a relationship to persist, not merely lament systemic failures. Critics also highlighted that Mandelson's narrative — that he was unaware of Epstein's crimes — sits uneasily with the extent of his documented friendship and supportive communications, raising questions about accountability, judgment, and the message his qualified response sends to survivors seeking acknowledgment and justice.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Lord Mandelson refuses to apologise to Jeffrey Epstein's victims with Labour peer claiming he had no knowledge of 'evil monster's' depravity because he's gay | Daily Mail OnlineBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

In this 10-minute interview Beverley Roos-Muller got to chat to Lord Peter Hain about his latest book on South African politics and corruption.

The former British Cabinet minister and lifelong anti-apartheid campaigner, Lord Peter Hain, has published a new book, Liberation and Corruption: Why Freedom Movements Fail. In it, he explores why idealistic liberation movements so often fall into the trap of becoming corrupt. And he has a scathing verdict for the ANC; “Mandela would be turning in his grave, he says at what has happened to his legacy and the way it's been deeply prostituted and betrayed.” Hain reflects on decades of solidarity with the ANC, his personal ties to Nelson Mandela, and the heartbreak of watching comrades abandon their ideals. He names Jacob Zuma as a key figure in the “industrial-scale looting” that hollowed out South Africa's economy. But this isn't just a South African story. Hain connects the dots globally, from Nicaragua to Algeria, and says liberation movements often inherit corrupt colonial systems and fail to dismantle them. He also calls out Western complicity, citing billions laundered through UK and US financial systems, and urges global powers to take financial crime seriously. His solution? A new International Anti-Corruption Court, backed by South African jurists like Judge Richard Goldstone. And a call to citizens: reject petty bribery.

Keir Starmer’s Labour Government recently passed a bill which effectively banned the activist group Palestine Action, deeming it a terrorist organisation. Lord Peter Hain, who grew up in South Africa and was a staunch anti-Apartheid activist, broke ranks with his party and voted against the bill when it was passed by the House of Commons and came before the House of Lords. He speaks to Lester Kiewit about why he chose against it. Good Morning Cape Town with Lester Kiewit is a podcast of the CapeTalk breakfast show.

From a childhood surrounded by drug dealers, violence, and poverty, to a youth torn between basketball dreams and the fast money of the streets, Peter opens up about the pivotal choices that led to him selling insane amounts of smack and blow, dealing with Colombian cartels, becoming a fixture in NYC's celebrity party scene, and ultimately incarceration- spending over 2 decades in federal prison.

The Lunch with Leon podcast is back for 2025, and we're kicking off the year with episode 100! To mark the occasion, we have secured a suitably impressive guest: Lord Peter Hendy of Richmond Hill CBE. Currently serving as Minister of State for Rail, Lord Hendy is one of the country's foremost transport leaders and a passionate advocate for the industry, having previously served as Commissioner for Transport for London, and Chair of Network Rail throughout his fifty-year transport career. Leon catches with Lord Hendy to discuss his appointment in the Labour government, how the transport industry can provide an exciting job for life, and the future of heritage transport. 

Apart from the events surrounding the birth of Christ, we hear little about Mary throughout the scriptures. She was at the wedding feast in Cana of Galilee, at the cross, and in the upper room after Christ's resurrection. But not much else. But we can learn a lot from this humble village maiden. Check out this week's message on "Mary, Handmaid of the Lord" - with speaker Peter Ramsay. 

Today on The Literary Life podcast, hosts Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks wrap up their series on Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers. To begin the conversation, Thomas shares his reaction on finishing this book. Angelina then dives into her discoveries of Alice in Wonderland references throughout all of Sayers' detective books. They talk about how the cricket game relates to the whole story arc, review the descent and parody imagery ideas from last episode, and look at Lord Peter's arrest and its significance in the form of the romance. More topics they cover in these final chapters include the ascent imagery, Tallboy's confession, the act of justice in the detective novel, and how the ending of this book is actually quite fitting. We hope you have enjoyed this series and will be picking up more Sayers novels soon!

Today's episode of The Literary Life podcast picks up our series on Murder Must Advertise by Dorothy L. Sayers with a discussion of chapters 12-16. After sharing their commonplace quotes, Angelina and Thomas begin by talking about whether Sayers is “too accomplished” to be writing detective stories and the decline and resurgence of the genre. Angelina makes more connections between the medieval romance and Murder Must Advertise, as well as the images that parallel Alice's Adventures in Wonderland scenes and the purpose they serve. They also talk about the many masks of Lord Peter, the “hellish hunt”, the ad world and the drug world, and so much more.

Angelina and Thomas begin the discussion talking about authors and their own thoughts on their best books versus those which readers seem to like best. Angelina shares some of the things she has learned about the drug trade in the early 20th century and in relation to this story. Thomas points out some of the allusions and references to other literature in these chapters. Angelina also expands on Lord Peter's disguises and the role of the harlequin in the literary tradition. For an entertaining side note, Thomas reads some bad reviews of Sayers' novels.

An occasional series on how Britain is fixing its battered foreign relationships. Today: After the combative Tory years, Keir Starmer is trying to reset the Anglo-French connection. What do we want from France and what does Paris want from us? Britain's former Ambassador to France Lord Peter Ricketts talks to Ros Taylor about whether Starmer and Macron are natural allies, the damage caused by Brexit, and what France's “deep unease” with itself means for Britain. • “I would not have relished being Ambassador to France and having my friends ask ‘Poor Britain, what are you doing?'” • “By about 2020-21, things were at rock bottom… When Liz Truss was asked ‘France, friend of foe?' and she replied that the jury was still out.” We are sponsored by Indeed.

‭‭Acts‬ 10‬:‭11‬-‭16‬ “He saw the sky open, and something like a large sheet was let down by its four corners. In the sheet were all sorts of animals, reptiles, and birds. Then a voice said to him, “Get up, Peter; kill and eat them.” “No, LORD” Peter declared. “I have never eaten anything that our Jewish laws have declared impure and unclean.” But the voice spoke again: “Do not call something unclean if GOD has made it clean.” The same vision was repeated three times. Then the sheet was suddenly pulled up to heaven.”

Nelson Mandela was the most iconic figure in South African history because of his heroic struggle against apartheid and racism, but he wouldn't have done what he had done if not for the brave leaders who also took the stand against the oppressive establishment in their own ways. Decades before being a Lord in the UK Parliament, Peter Hain was one of those people. A young man at that time, Lord Hain started simply by opposing the all-White South African cricket team. You wouldn't believe just how significant that was unless you heard the whole story. So much has his impact been that he was considered Public Enemy No. 1 by the ruling apartheid government. Decades later, Lord Hain has a powerful message to all world leaders and every one of us who's aspiring for real change in the world. Stay tuned and learn what he has to say!Love the show?

fWotD Episode 2471: Dorothy L. Sayers Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day where we read the summary of the featured Wikipedia article every day.The featured article for Friday, 9 February 2024 is Dorothy L. Sayers.Dorothy Leigh Sayers (; 13 June 1893 – 17 December 1957) was an English crime novelist, playwright, translator and critic.Born in Oxford, Sayers was brought up in rural East Anglia and educated at Godolphin School in Salisbury and Somerville College, Oxford, graduating with first class honours in medieval French. She worked as an advertising copywriter between 1922 and 1929 before success as an author brought her financial independence. Her first novel Whose Body? was published in 1923. Between then and 1939 she wrote ten more novels featuring the upper-class amateur sleuth Lord Peter Wimsey. In 1930, in Strong Poison, she introduced a leading female character, Harriet Vane, the object of Wimsey's love. Harriet appears sporadically in future novels, resisting Lord Peter's proposals of marriage until Gaudy Night in 1935, six novels later.Sayers moved the genre of detective fiction away from pure puzzles lacking characterisation or depth, and became recognised as one of the four "Queens of Crime" of the Golden Age of Detective Fiction of the 1920s and 1930s, along with Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham and Ngaio Marsh. She was a founder member of the Detection Club, and worked with many of its members in producing novels and radio serials collaboratively, such as the novel The Floating Admiral in 1931.From the mid‐1930s Sayers wrote plays, mostly on religious themes; they were performed in English cathedrals and broadcast by the BBC. Her radio dramatisation of the life of Christ, The Man Born to Be King (1941–42), initially provoked controversy but was quickly recognised as an important work. From the early 1940s her main preoccupation was translating the three books of Dante's Divine Comedy into colloquial English. She died unexpectedly at her home in Essex, aged 64, before completing the third book.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 00:03 UTC on Friday, 9 February 2024.For the full current version of the article, see Dorothy L.

Classic detective drama

Peter knows that his time on earth is coming to an end, and so he leaves the believers with important reminders that he tells that they will need to always remember. Peter shares about the Day of The Lord, the returning of Jesus Christ.  One of my most favorite scriptures Peter wrote in this letter, "The Lord isn't really being slow about His promise, as some people think. No, He is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.Join me as we dive into Peters last letter.

We discuss chapters 1-4 of Dorothy L. Sayers first novel in her Lord Peter Wimsey series. A forgetful moment returns Lord Peter home just in time for news of a grizzly death, suited perfectly to his hobby of detection. An unknown man has been found in the bath of Alfred Thipps, naked but for a pair of spectacles. Inspector Sugg, a policeman already disgruntled by Lord Wimsey's previous efforts, pins the crime on Thipps maid, and Wimsey amasses his allies to hunt the real killer. With a delightful and scattered tone, can Herds unravel this curious debut? We're also joined by Yoyu Li, one of the team behind 'Whispers in the West', a cooperative murder mystery video game we played just before its' Kickstarter launched. We talk about the game's development, the link between narrative and game design, and more.

Key Conversation Points: The ordinary moments anchor us and connect us across neighborhoods, states, countries and oceans....even for Lisa-Jo's friend in Ukraine. Lisa-Jo graciously reminds us that acts of extraordinary courage are getting up and advocating for our kids, sick spouse or family abroad or taking time to serve at church or sharing our platforms with someone.  It all is courageous in the middle of hard times when all we really want to do is stay in bed. The rhythms of anticipation can feel like Christmas, even as we feel stuck in the end of winter. What is engraved in Lisa Jo's bag that anchors her in such a powerful way right now? Let us know in the reviews what is anchoring you right now. We want to hear your stories.
