Podcasts about Nish

This week, as Britain enters its fourth heatwave amidst blazing wildfires across Europe, Coco & Nish are joined by Climate scientist and educator Simon Clark to ask: is this the new normal? They discuss rising temperatures, online misinformation, fire clouds(!) and which policies the UK government could be championing to both mitigate and adapt to a warming climate–listen up, Andy! Also on the show: as Exeter proposes 150 job cuts which are expected to fall disproportionately on the humanities, Nish speaks to his friend and staff member at Exeter University, Dr Peter J Riley. They dig into the value of a humanities degree and what we're missing when we make everything about money. And: Coco & Nish reflect on the UK's first week with Burnham at the helm, as Labour leads Reform in the polls for the first time in almost 18 months. Is it too early to be optimistic? Plus - bonus content! We bring you a clip from a conversation with actor Siobhan McSweeney and Gazan student Mahmoud Hasanain as they discuss the government's renewed scheme to evacuate Gazan students to study at UK universities–but only if they have fully-funded places. Siobhan, along with many other well-known faces from stage and screen, is auctioning off personal items in a bid to raise funds to support these students.

This week, Nish & Coco do a deep dive into the beginnings of Burnham's Britain. He's only been Prime Minister for a few days, but Andy has already pledged to end rough sleeping, cut electricity bills, and cap bus fares, as his new ‘cost of living government' takes shape. They're joined by Anoosh Chakelian, the New Statesman's Britain Editor, who has interviewed Burnham several times over the last decade. Is he the flip-flopping, people-pleasing Prime Minister his critics say he'll be, or do these early signals from No.10 suggest a clean break with the politics of the past? Anoosh, Coco & Nish talk through cabinet picks, what Trump might make of ‘Red Ed' as foreign sec, and how social care reform–if done right–could be good for us all.

Nish Khandwala is the Co-Founder and CEO of Bunkerhill Health, an AI agent platform for health systems backed by Sequoia and deployed at Cleveland Clinic, Stanford, UCSF, and more than 25 other institutions. A Stanford CS grad with a Master's in AI and a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, Nish built Bunkerhill after a Nature-published research algorithm he helped build at Stanford sat unused on his laptop for two years, then found its real-world moment when his own father had a heart attack. In this episode of DGTL Voices, Nish talks with Ed about the calcium-scoring model that inspired the company, why healthcare has to stop imposing drug-development timelines on modern software, and the governance shift he thinks hospital CEOs need to make: drive the cost of failure toward zero, iterate fast, and stop treating AI like a five-year plan. Plus his origin story from India to Saudi Arabia to Stanford, the difficult-conversations lesson he's learned about leadership, and why he doesn't buy the false dichotomy between clinical and administrative AI. https://marxadvisory.com

On today's episode, I'm joined by my husband and Co-Founder Nish Samantray for a fun conversation breaking down some of the biggest brand launches, marketing campaigns, and consumer products making headlines right now. We share our honest takes on what's genuinely smart marketing, what's overhyped, and which brands we think have the potential to become long-term successes. From Kylie Jenner's Meta glasses and celebrity-founded brands to influencer partnerships, experiential marketing, and functional food launches, we discuss what separates brands that create lasting customer loyalty from those that rely on buzz alone. We also dive into why authenticity matters more than ever, how in-person experiences can build stronger brands in the age of AI, and the marketing strategies we believe every entrepreneur should be paying attention to. Whether you're building a business, obsessed with branding, or simply love following the latest consumer trends, this episode is packed with insights, hot takes, and marketing lessons you won't want to miss.

Welcome to Without Borders, the podcast from Tyto. As the only PR and communications agency built to scale high-growth technology companies faster across Europe, we know that earning meaningful media coverage across this region requires more than just a good story. It demands a deep understanding of how journalists, creators, and media owners work, and how influence is evolving in today's increasingly interconnected and fast-changing media landscape. The second series of Following Up is designed to give PR leaders at global technology companies exactly that perspective.  Hosted by Tyto media experts, Pauline Delorme and Bastian Meger, the series brings you candid conversations with some of Europe's most respected technology journalists, industry influencers, and independent media founders. We explore how stories are selected, how influence is built across multiple platforms, and how commercial pressures and changing audience behaviours are reshaping the media landscape - and what that means for PR teams. In this episode, Pauline and Bastian are joined by Nish Ratanji, co-founder of The Stack, an independent tech publication and community for senior IT leaders.  Nish launched The Stack with former Computer Business Review and Roubini Global Economics editor Edward Targett in December 2020 to cut through industry noise with agenda-free journalism, long-form interviews, and expert analysis, while also bringing leaders together through events, subscriptions, and peer communities. In this episode, Nish explains how his experience in B2B tech communications inspired him to create a media platform dedicated to serving senior IT leaders with trusted, high-quality journalism. He shares how The Stack differentiates itself from traditional trade media through its focus on original reporting, peer-led insights and a business model built on authority and community rather than clicks and advertising. Nish also discusses the evolving relationship between PR and journalism, the importance of building genuine media relationships, and how AI, newsletters, events and other emerging formats are reshaping the way technology leaders discover and consume information. Across the series, Following Up gives communications leaders the opportunity to hear directly from the people shaping Europe's technology conversation, offering a valuable perspective that helps refine media strategies, strengthen engagement, and approach the region with greater confidence. For more episodes of Following Up and the wider Without Borders series, visit our YouTube channel, and don't forget to subscribe on your preferred podcast platform to stay up to date. 

“Are you ready for this?” Following Andy Burnham's first big policy speech since becoming an MP, and with his sights set firmly on the top job, Coco & Nish dig into his promises of regeneration, reindustrialisation, and…a new pair of running shorts. From No10 North to nationalisation and the biggest council house building programme since the postwar period, they discuss their unanswered questions and first impressions of the Manchester man offering “growth in every postcode, and hope in every heart.” Plus, they're joined by journalist and campaigner Adele Zeynep Walton who shares her first-hand experience of the consequences of online harms. We ask whether the proposed social media ban for under-16s really gets to the heart of the problem (spoiler alert: no), and how we can truly hold the tech industry to account.

What really happens behind the scenes when NHS policy is made?In this episode, Nish speaks with Dr Amanda Doyle OBE, National Director for Primary Care and Community Services for NHSE, to unpack how national decisions are actually negotiated, challenged, and delivered into frontline care.From GP partner in a deprived practice to shaping national primary care policy, Amanda shares a rare inside view of leadership, pressure, and influence at the top of the system - and how it really works when ministers, money, and medicine collide.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 - Role overview03:00 - Early life & medicine06:00 - Becoming a GP09:00 - Life as a GP partner13:00 - Leadership emerges17:00 - Family & career balance21:00 - From local to national roles26:00 - Imposter syndrome & confidence30:00 - National leadership reality34:00 - Ministers & policy38:00 - Criticism & scrutiny42:00 - GP contracts & access46:00 - PCNs & neighbourhoods49:00 - Advice for future leaders

As Makerfield goes to the polls today, Nish and Coco take a look back at the campaign, interrogate Andy Burnham's ‘King of the North' brand, and dig into what ‘Manchesterism' actually is–and how it could work on a national scale. They're joined by Jack Dulhanty, journalist at Manchester Mill, to break down whether we can expect a people-pleaser for our next Prime Minister, how voting intentions have split households, and why a four-month old political party has given Reform a run for its money. Plus: following the Court of Appeal's ruling upholding the ban on Palestine Action and the terror sentencing of the ‘Filton 4' activists, we speak to Akiko Hart, director of Liberty, the UK's oldest human rights organisation, to understand the consequences of applying such a broad definition of terrorism.  And, as a social media ban looms for under-16s, what could this mean for the future of digital privacy in the UK? USEFUL LINKSSee Ben Rhodes and Coco Khan live!

Tommy and Ben dig into a week dominated by ominous signs of regime change, nuclear standoffs, and a “historic” summit that left almost everyone disappointed.First they cover the signs pointing to American intervention in Cuba, including reports of Cuban drones, a possible indictment of 94-year-old Raúl Castro, a visit by CIA director John Ratcliffe, and a full blockade that has left the island in a state of humanitarian catastrophe. Then they look to Bolivia, where supporters of former President Evo Morales have blockaded roads and clashes with police are escalating. When it comes to the war in Iran, the global economy remains paralyzed by the closure of the Strait of Hormuz, while Trump vacillates on whether to restart the war or engage in real talks. The guys also recap Trump's China trip, which turned out to be a dud by almost every measure — no trade deal, no help on Iran, and some deeply alarming comments about Taiwan. And finally, Tommy and Ben are subjected to the sounds of Eurovision.

NISH / TOXIC SICKNESS RESIDENCY SHOW #3 / MAY / 2026 by TOXIC SICKNESS OFFICIAL

This week, as Labour reels from a brutal set of election results, Nish and Coco try to make sense of Keir Starmer's fight to stay in Downing Street, a story moving faster than political journalists can refresh their phones. They're joined by Helena, aka NoJusticeMTG, Twitch streamer, YouTuber and Novara Media contributor, to break down Labour's post-election meltdown, the rise of Reform, and whether the Greens' surge points to a more hopeful progressive future. They also dig into who might replace Starmer, from Angela Rayner to Andy Burnham and Wes Streeting.Plus, what should we take from Plaid Cymru's win in Wales, Reform's new foothold, and the Greens breaking through in places Labour once took for granted?And former Google executive Mo Gawdat joins to discuss Chasing Utopia, the new documentary asking whether AI is about to transform our lives, our politics, and possibly the future of humanity itself.Watch Mo Gawdat in Atlantic Studios new release Chasing Utopia from Friday 15th May 2026 at Everyman Cinemas.

This week, Nish and Coco make sense of a bruising local election week, as Labour braces for heavy losses, Reform eyes major gains, and the Greens look to break through in London.They're joined by Will Hayward, award-winning investigative journalist and expert on Welsh politics, to break down what's happening in Wales, where Labour's century-long dominance could be coming to an end.

On this week's issue of the Bugle. Andy is joined by dream team Alice Fraser and Nish Kumar as the trio jump into this week's news as the King visits America, Trump's new ballroom and the latest news from the White House correspondents dinner. Plus Andy opens up The Bugle's Gambling and Sports sections. It's issue 4377 of The Bugle!

British politics was shaken to its core this week when we all realised that, maybe, Keir Starmer isn't as quite across the detail as he tries to make out. He had to explain exactly what he did and didn't know about the developed vetting carried out for Peter Mandelson's appointment as the UK's Ambassador to the US.Right on the heels of that, came Olly Robbins, who was sacked last week from his role as the chief official at the Foreign Office. In a very civil servant way, he revealed the internal pressures and machinations that were happening during the appointment process.Both men had serious questions to answer about what they did but Coco and Nish are joined by political journalist Zoë Grünewald to ask why everyone is obsessing over the process while almost totally ignoring the larger, moral decision to make the appointment in the first place.Plus the comedian Rosie Jones arrives to totally derail the whole podcast with a mix of funny jabs at Nish while still telling us about the work of her brilliant foundation which is celebrating its first birthday!  Don't forget to leave a review - it gives the show a boost and we love to see your comments.**Warning: use of a racial slur during the Labour May election segment**CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS INCOGNI: https://www.incogni.com/podsavetheuk Code: podsavetheukWISE: https://shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukAURA FRAMES: https://www.auraframes.com Code: PSTUK SHIPSTATION: https://www.shipstation.com Code: PSTUKGUESTS Zoë Grünewald - Journalist, broadcaster and political commentatorRosie Jones - ComedianUSEFUL LINKSThe Rosie Jones Foundation: https://www.rosiejonesfoundation.com/CREDITSSir Keir Starmer MP - Parliament TVEmily Thornberry MP - The Mirror, YouTube Sir Oliver Robbins - Parliament TV David Miliband MP - Mornings with Ridge and Frost, Sky News Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Get in touch - contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukLike and follow us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUKInstagram: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukX: https://x.com/podsavetheuk

Who says the special relationship is on the ropes? Coco and Nish are joined by Pod Save America's Tommy Vietor to showcase transatlantic co-operation at its very best. From the battle of slopaganda to the real war in Iran - there's a lot to talk about.Donald Trump deleted a Truth Social post because he looked a little bit too much like Jesus for the Christian community - many of them have been some of his biggest supporters. Meanwhile Iran has released a series of sometimes-antisemitic, AI, Lego rap videos. In the UK, Keir Starmer is being criticised for not spending enough on defence at a time when the wars in Ukraine and the Middle East are focusing minds.Plus - Your Party hits the skids in Scotland - we hear from an insider about what went down.Don't forget to leave a review - it gives the show a boost and we love to see your comments.CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS AURA FRAMES: https://shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukSHOPIFY: https://www.wise.comWISE: https://shopify.co.uk/podsavetheukGUESTS Tommy Vietor, Host, Pod Save America and Pod Save The WorldUSEFUL LINKSHow to email your MP about NHS Palantir contracts - https://www.amnesty.org.uk/get-involved/take-action/sign-a-petition/mp-demand-no-palantir-in-our-nhs/CREDITSDonald Trump - @rapidresponse47, X Iranian Propaganda Video - Explosive MediaOwen Maitland, Former Your Party Scotland executive committee memberFaiza Shaheen, Director, Tax Justice UK - ‘Politics Live', BBC OneSaturday Night Live UK, Sky OnePod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Get in touch - contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukLike and follow us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUKInstagram: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukX: https://x.com/podsavetheuk

On issue number 4373 of the Bugle, Andy is joined by Nish Kumar and Tom Ballard, as the they update on the Iran war, discuss Trump's joke writing skills, and delve into the latest controversy with the UK's Trump wannabe Nigel Farage!

Last summer - fuelled by the far right - a rash of St George and Union Jack flags spread across the country. Flag-waving became a symbol of prejudice, not pride. In that context it's hard as progressives to feel particularly patriotic. So what is Britishness… and does it even matter?Someone who is hopeful that our national identity is worth saving is writer, a DJ and broadcaster Zakia Sewell.

Reform UK is getting into the lottery business - inviting people to sign up for a chance to have their energy bills paid for a year. But is the real prize a massive database of voters ahead of the next General Election? Plus - party leader Nigel Farage has been caught saying some pretty questionable stuff for money on Cameo. Is that really the kind of thing we should expect from someone who plans to be our next Prime Minister?Nish and Coco are joined by authors Quinn Slobodian and Ben Tarnoff.

The first wave of Mandelson files have been published. We all wanted to know what Keir Starmer knew, and when he knew it. Now we can see it in black and white. And as it turns out - Starmer was warned there was a “general reputational risk” over Mandelson's relationship with Jeffrey Epstein ahead of his confirmation as US ambassador. Nish and Coco make sense of this perilous moment for the PM.Then critical theorist and viral creator Louisa Munch helps us make sense of the government's new social cohesion strategy. But is tackling extremism and yet more surveillance the answer to fraying social ties?Plus - as Iran names its new supreme leader oil prices skyrocket - for a PM obsessed with the cost of living, this is shaping up to be a bit of a nightmare.Remember to send your questions in for Nish and Coco to psuk@reducedlistening.co.uk and they'll spill the tea! CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS AURA FRAMES: https://www.auraframes.com Code: PSTUKBABBEL: https://www.babbel.com/PSUKGUESTS Louisa Munch, Critical TheoristMinnie Rahman, CEO PraxisUSEFUL LINKS“Nish, Don't Kill My Vibe” + Q&A with James Acaster at The Ritzy, Brixton - 18th Marchhttps://picturehouses.com/movie-details/000/HO00017471/nish-kumar-nish-don-t-kill-my-vibe-q-a?filter=Open letter opposing planned changes to the immigration settlement routes: https://act.praxis.org.uk/open-letter-earned-settlementCREDITSDarren Jones MP, Cabinet Office minister - Parliament TVSteve Reed MP, Communities Secretary - Parliament TVMike Tapp MP, Migration minister - Parliament TVMinnie Rahman, Praxis CEOFrederik Pleitgen, CNN International Senior Correspondent - CNNPod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Get in touch - contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukLike and follow us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUKInstagram: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukX: https://x.com/podsavetheuk

A world leader has been assassinated, schools and hospitals have been hit, and Donald Trump thinks that Keir Starmer is no Winston Churchill. It's all kicking off as the US and Israel's illegal war escalates across the Middle East. All of this with the open admission of no real plan for what comes next. Struggling to absorb it all? Wondering if there's another way? British-Iranian peace strategist Sanam Naraghi Anderlini MBE is here to fill us in. She joins Coco and comedian Sophie Duker, who is in the hotseat for Nish this week.Soaring oil prices was not the backdrop Chancellor Rachel Reeves was hoping for ahead of her second Spring Statement. Finalised before the conflict broke out, her economic plan was “Trumped” before it was even delivered - so where does this leave the UK?Plus - just as the UK gets dragged into this latest destabilising conflict, Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood rips up the rules on UK asylum. Got a burning question for Nish or Coco?

This week Nish and Coco are joined by friend of the pod, Ash Sarkar from Novara Media to talk about political scandal, trust and compromise. Ash's book, Minority Rule, has a new afterword which talks about two progressive movements which have tried to build different kinds of relationships with voters. Is that the way forward - or are we stuck in an endless cycle of broken promises from our leaders? One of those leaders - Keir Starmer - seems to be lurching from crisis to nightmare, so can he rise above the latest headlines about Peter Mandelson's arrest and the Labour Together scandal?Plus Reform's new immigration policies, the new proposals to change the SEND system - and some good news about two protest groups.CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS BABBEL: https://www.babbel.com/PSUKWISE: https://www.wise.comSURFSHARK: https://www.surfshark.com/podsave  CODE: PODSAVE  GUESTS Ash Sarkar, Contributing Editor at Novara Media and author of Minority Rule: Adventures in the Culture War - out now in paperback.USEFUL LINKSJumaane Williams' thoughtful response following the outcry about the handling of a racial slur at the Baftas.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgaqKIxS4Hs&t=1sCREDITSDaily Express - YouTubeNigel Farage - YouTube@sendra.uk - InstagramNida JafriPod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.Get in touch - contact us via email: PSUK@reducedlistening.co.ukLike and follow us on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@PodSavetheUKInstagram: https://instagram.com/podsavetheukTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@podsavetheukBlueSky: https://bsky.app/profile/podsavetheuk.crooked.comFacebook: https://facebook.com/podsavetheukX: https://x.com/podsavetheuk

Prime Minister Keir Starmer's cabinet circles the wagons as he survives another hellish week in office.

Liam Thorp, the Liverpool Echo's Political Editor, is on hand to break down Labour's big plan to make homes warmer, the fortunes of Reform and the latest delay to the Hillsborough Law Plus comedian Alaa Shehada, fresh from his show ‘The Horse of Jenin', talks to Nish and Coco about the ‘Palestine Comedy Club', a documentary which follows a group of Palestinians as they take their comedy show on tour in an occupied state.

X has been firmly in the firing line after its Grok AI tool was used to create sexualised images of women and children. Elon Musk's company could face a fine of up to 10% of its global earnings by internet regulator Ofcom, or a ban in the UK. He denies that the AI has done anything illegal and says users are responsible for the images they create. How can we regulate AI? Nish and Coco speak to Rutger Bregman, historian and author who called out billionaires at Davos. He argues Big Tech should be treated like Big Tobacco, and gives his take on Iran, as thousands of protestors take to the streets, and what a radical policy platform looks like for the UK Left today. Plus - what on earth is UKIP proposing as a terrifying rebrand?  *Update on Palestinian Hunger Strikers*: On 14th Jan Heba, Kamran, and Lewie collectively paused their hunger strike. They made British history, lasting 73 days.

This week's Bugle is a US Special, hard not to be at the moment. Kick starting 2026, Andy Zaltzman joined by Nish Kumar, and Nato Green try to navigate their way through what might be the worst start to a year since, well since 2025.

The US President put the season of goodwill behind him with a New Year Venezuelan coup and the threat of further action across Central America and the Caribbean. Then there's the little matter of his promise to seize control of Greenland. Nish and Coco try to make sense of the senseless - and to assess the possibility that Donald Trump could end up destroying NATO - with Tommy Vietor from our sister podcasts Pod Save America and Pod Save the World.  Plus, comedian Cody Dahler gives us his take on how 2026 will shape up for politicians and satirists. How easy is it to make jokes while the world - literally and metaphorically - is on fire?  CHECK OUT THESE DEALS FROM OUR SPONSORS  WISE https://wise.com/ BABBEL https://www.babbel.com/PSUK  GUESTS  Cody Dahler, Comedian and Presenter of The Truth (In My Opinion) Tommy Vietor, Co-Host of Pod Save America and Pod Save the World Nida Jafri USEFUL LINKS Palestine Action Hunger Strikers: How to write to your MP  Petition calling for action from the Justice Secretary CREDITS Parliament TV Cody Dahler/TikTok Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg/BBC One Tonight with Andrew Marr/LBC Pod Save the UK is a Reduced Listening production for Crooked Media.

You asked, Nish and Coco answered! What are their most conservative opinions? Why do both the left and right hate NATO so much? Should we ditch GDP? Why doesn't the UK have compulsory voting and why do some many progressives stay true to Labour when the party is failing to measure up? All that plus the latest on Coco's love-hate relationship with AI and a quickfire round to make sure no question is left unanswered.
