In this episode of the Meaningful People Podcast, Nachi Gordon sits down with Rabbi Shmuel Diamond for an unforgettable conversation about one of the most dramatic transformations you'll ever hear. Rabbi Diamond grew up completely secular in North London, in a world where the very idea of God was treated as ridiculous, and didn't learn the Aleph Beis until he was 21. He takes us back through his years of searching, traveling through India, chasing photography, and sinking deeper and deeper into drugs, until he hit a point so low he knew something had to change. Then came the small, almost absurd moment in a Manchester shop that he still points to as the night his teshuva truly began. From there, the conversation follows his climb back, his move to Israel, and his journey to becoming religious. Rabbi Diamond shares how discovering Rabbi Manis Friedman's teachings on Tanya completely changed his approach to Yiddishkeit, taking him from a Yid who looked the part to someone who finally felt genuinely connected. He also shares the story behind his "Journey to a Blessed Life" course, which is helping thousands rebuild their relationship with themselves, with others, and with Hashem.

With the domestic season officially at an end, Jack is joined by Jon Bass to celebrate a massive weekend of collective relief across North London following Arsenal's defeat in the Champions League final. Drawing a definitive line under a chaotic campaign, the lads look ahead to a pivotal summer under Roberto De Zerbi. We dive straight into the breaking transfer news that dropped this morning regarding Tottenham's declined opening bid for Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke, contrasting it with highly positive updates on our moves for Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson. Jack and Jon closely analyse the tactical profiles of both Van Hecke and Senesi, questioning what their technically accomplished but less physically imposing styles tell us about De Zerbi's footballing vision for next season. We also tackle the growing transfer rumours linking Spurs with Bournemouth's Alex Scott, confronting the dilemma of whether bringing in the boyhood Tottenham fan makes sense given his overlapping profile with Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall. Finally, the show wraps up by looking ahead to the rapidly approaching World Cup, debating whether the international excitement is finally starting to build.

In this episode we convene a few days after Arsenal lost the Champions League final to PSG in Budapest. So much has happened since then, that's it's hard to really keep track, but we go chronologically through the trips to Hungary, the atmosphere in the city among other Arsenal fans, and lots more before we get to the game itself. Kai Havertz's early goal had a big impact on the game, not simply by virtue of putting us ahead, but how it influenced the game state. There's discussion of the penalty they were awarded and the one we weren't, the referee's performance, extra-time, and ultimately the heartbreak of the penalty shoot-out with analysis of the takers and the order in which they were taken. After some reflections on how it all felt, we go into part 2 to talk about the post-game reaction in Budapest, what we can learn from this game, before focusing on the incredible scenes in North London at the parade which really helped diminish the pain of the night before. We also take some listener questions about Josh Kroenke and his role, the potential profile of summer signings, Arsenal being emotional, and loads more besides.

Arsenal's Champions League final ended in the cruellest way possible.After a dramatic night in Budapest, Mikel Arteta's side fell to Paris Saint-Germain on penalties following a 1-1 draw across 120 minutes. Kai Havertz gave Arsenal the perfect start, PSG responded from the spot, and what followed was a tactical battle between Europe's most dangerous attack and one of the continent's strongest defensive units.In this Match Review episode, Elliott, Justin and JJ break down the final in full. They discuss Arsenal's game plan, Havertz's early goal, Gabriel's outstanding defensive performance, the key moments that shaped the contest and whether Arsenal showed too much respect to the reigning European champions.The panel also examine the major refereeing decisions, including the penalty awarded to PSG, Arsenal's late appeal involving Noni Madueke and the wider frustration surrounding the officiating on the night.There is a detailed discussion on Arteta's substitutions, the impact of Viktor Gyökeres, Gabriel Martinelli, Noni Madueke, Martin Zubimendi and Eberechi Eze, as well as Arsenal's approach during extra time as the game drifted towards penalties.The shootout itself is analysed, including Arsenal's misses, David Raya's role and the emotions of seeing European glory slip away after such a long and impressive campaign.Away from the final, the conversation shifts to the following day's Premier League champions parade. The hosts reflect on the scenes across North London, the reported 1.5 million supporters in attendance, Ben White's antics, Josh Kroenke's celebrations and what the day meant after the disappointment of Budapest.The episode closes with a broader reflection on Arsenal's 2025/26 season, the progress made under Arteta, the lessons learned from reaching a Champions League final and why the squad believe this journey is far from finished.Premier League Champions. Champions League Finalists.

In the red afterglow of Arsenal's Premier League title win and celebratory parade in North London, James Emmett and David Cushnan shine a light on Josh Kroenke's role in the multi-club, cross-sport success story that is Kroenke Sports and Entertainment.They also reflect on the winners elsewhere across Europe as the club football season ends.Also on the show, reflections on James' conversation with International Cricket Council Chief Commercial Officer Anurag Dahiya and the development engine the organisation is revving up in new markets. And, after the Killers at the Uefa Champions League final in Budapest, there's a discussion about a possible new way forward for pre-match and half-time music shows at football's showpiece occasions.
The panel return on this edition to discuss Tottenham Hotspur closing in on the signings of Marcos Senesi and Andy Robertson, with both deals now agreed in principle as Roberto De Zerbi's rebuild gathers pace in North London. We also reflect on the news that Tottenham Hotspur have ‘pulled out' of the race to sign Joao Palhinha. Spurs' buy option expires on Monday, and Sporting CP are moving ahead with the deal. Talks with Bayern Munich are expected to follow. Palhinha impressed on loan at Spurs and has expressed a desire to stay, with the London club holding a €30 million purchase option. Sporting want to bring the 30-year-old back to Lisbon, where he began his career. The midfielder is willing to take a significant pay cut to rejoin his boyhood club, and a broad understanding with the player is said to be in place. A new loan move for Luka Vuskovic to Hamburger SV is apparently not a current option avaliable. The Croatian has two options: Long-term contract extension with high salary. A move to one of the biggest clubs in Europe. Talks are ongoing over the player's future. Luka Vuskovic has revealed his Tottenham future will not be decided until after the World Cup. We discuss what the best next step is for the youngster. Tottenham Hotspur are expected to strengthen their attack this summer, and a new report suggests that Marcus Rashford could become an option. Spurs have reportedly shown interest in signing Marcus Rashford this summer after a 28-goal contribution season with Barcelona, during which he scored 14 goals and provided 14 assists. We debate whether the Club could entice him into coming to the club and whether Spurs can get the best out of him. Finally we close on the news that Spurs have launched an internal review into last season. An internal review has been ongoing since the appointment of Dan Lewindon as Performance Director from Manchester City. This comes after he found significant challenges within Spurs. He joined the Club one day before Thomas Frank was sacked. We reflect on whether the Club will take the learnings from last season and put them into action in both the upcoming window in addition to decisions made both off/on the pitch.

After twenty-two long years, Arsenal are champions again. The jokes about “bottling it” can finally be retired, at least temporarily, and somewhere in North London a generation of supporters are still wandering around in a state of emotional confusion, unsure whether to sing, cry or simply phone relatives they have not spoken to since the Wenger era.In this episode of Mark and Pete, we look at Arsenal's long-awaited Premier League triumph and the surprisingly serious question hidden underneath all the celebrations. Why does football matter so much to people, especially men who otherwise communicate most emotions through grunting softly at the television while making tea?The discussion follows a recent study suggesting many men display stronger visible emotion during football than in almost any other part of life. Victories bring joy, relief and hugging strangers. Defeats produce silence so profound entire households can feel it settling over the furniture. A missed penalty can apparently alter the emotional climate of a semi-detached house for forty-eight hours.Along the way Mark and Pete talk about loyalty, tribalism, fathers and sons watching football together, the strange liturgy of the football crowd, and why modern society often mocks male passion unless it happens to involve sport.There is also reflection on the emotional hunger sitting underneath much of modern life. Football cannot save anyone, obviously, though some supporters continue to test the theory every season. But it does reveal something important about human beings. We long to belong to something bigger than ourselves. We want shared stories, shared victories and somewhere to place hope, even if that hope is wearing a slightly faded replica shirt and shouting at a referee from Row Q.Includes humour, theology, football nostalgia, British cultural commentary and the usual slightly dangerous mixture of seriousness and silliness.#Arsenal #PremierLeague #Football #Soccer #ArsenalFC #MenAndEmotion #MarkAndPete #ChristianPodcast #FootballCulture #BritishPodcast #CurrentAffairs #Sport #FaithAndCulture #PremierLeagueChampions
Twenty-two years of "nearly" and "not quite" have officially been erased. The Premier League trophy is back in North London, carried there by the sheer, unyielding will of Mikel Arteta's meticulously constructed football machine.In this episode, we break down Arsenal's historic 2026 title-winning season—a campaign defined not by flashy showmanship, but by a cold, brilliant, and utterly suffocating pragmatism. We dive deep into the analytics and moments that shaped this historic run, including:How David Raya and the powerhouse duo of Gabriel and William Saliba conceded a miserly 26 goals all season.The tactical genius behind Arsenal's record-breaking 28 goals from set-pieces, including 18 devastating goals from corners.The evolution of Declan Rice into an unstoppable complete midfielder, Bukayo Saka's talismanic brilliance, and how new faces like Viktor Gyökeres and Martín Zubimendi provided the perfect final pieces to the puzzle.From the dark days of 2019 to the red-and-white euphoria sweeping from the Emirates to Islington, this is the definitive story of how Arteta silenced the doubters and built a champion in his own obsessive image.

This was supposed to be a match review.Instead, it became something else.Arsenal closed the Premier League season with victory away at Crystal Palace — but the football quickly gave way to reflection, celebration and everything that came with finally seeing the trophy lifted after a twenty-two-year wait. Elliot and Justin react to the final day atmosphere, the guard of honour at Selhurst Park, the celebrations in North London and the emotions of finally watching this Arsenal side complete the journey. There's discussion on the trophy presentation, the symbolism of seeing ownership hand over the title, Martin Ødegaard's moment as captain and the scenes shared across the Arsenal fanbase worldwide. On the pitch, there is still a game to review.The lads work through Mikel Arteta's heavily rotated starting XI, discuss Martin Zubimendi's surprise role at right back, look at Max Dowman's involvement and reflect on Gabriel Jesus marking the day with a goal in what could prove to be one of his final Premier League starts for Arsenal. The performance itself is unpacked through the lens of freedom, rotation and whether anything meaningful can actually be learned from football played after the title is already secured. There's also reflection on the moments behind the moments — player leadership, the conversations that helped carry the squad through difficult periods, the significance of lifting the trophy after years of near misses, and what this achievement means for the club's future rather than simply its past. And finally, one image, one quote and one feeling.Standing there together.Standing in our dreams.Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables & Intro(00:18) - Match Review Setup & Champions Reflection(00:58) - Guard of Honour & Final Day Atmosphere(03:07) - Trophy Lift Emotions & Watching Arsenal Become Champions(06:15) - Kroenkes Deliver the Trophy & Symbolism Discussion(07:58) - Arteta's Entrance & Trophy Presentation(09:33) - Ødegaard Lifts the Trophy & Celebration Moments(10:41) - Favourite Celebration Scenes & “We Are Unbearable”(12:18) - Starting XI Reaction & Rotation Discussion(13:14) - Max Dowman Impressions & Christian Nørgaard Start(13:58) - Martin Zubimendi at Right Back Debate(15:53) - Midfield Selection & PSG Thoughts(18:50) - Gabriel Jesus Goal, Captaincy & Future Discussion(22:07) - Arsenal's Freedom, Match Context & Performance Reflection(23:47) - Palace Push Back & Closing Match Moments(25:42) - Match Stats & Control Analysis(28:30) - Post-Match Scenes Around North London(30:30) - Global Arsenal Celebrations & Fan Connection(32:29) - Mikel Arteta's Trophy Lift Reflections(34:02) - Josh Kroenke, Belief & What Comes Next(38:51) - Martin Ødegaard's Journey to the Title(41:10) - Declan Rice, Player Meetings & Leadership Voices(44:36) - Bukayo Saka, Perspective & “Standing In Our Dreams”(47:35) - PSG Question & Looking Towards the Final(49:22) - Outro & Champions Sign Off

The 2025/26 Premier League season has come to a close, and history has been made on multiple fronts! Arsenal grind out a nerve-wracking 2-1 win over Crystal Palace on the final day, and the 22-year wait is finally over—the Gunners are Premier League Champions.The boys are breaking down the trophy lift and the massive celebrations.

This week Jonathan is in celebratory mode—and no, it's not only because it's the festival of Shavuot, but because his beloved Arsenal finally won the Premier League, sparking a spontaneous tribal gathering of ‘marauding revellers' in North London. Meanwhile, Yonit and Jonathan unpack the volatile situation with Iran, and ask where President Trump's vague threats of a renewed strike are heading. Then, it's wall-to-wall condemnation for National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, whose grotesque 56-second video taunting Gaza flotilla detainees was a nightmare for Israel's defenders especially. And Jonathan describes his visit to the Nova exhibition in London, which offers a powerful, heart-rending glimpse of the human faces of the October 7th massacre and the shocking refusal of much of the world to look directly at what happened on that day.

Arsenal Football Club are Premier League champions for the first time in 22 years. A generation of fans who weren't born the last time this happened are now old enough to drink, vote, and cry in the streets of North London. And that's exactly what tens of thousands of them did on the night of May 19th, 2026.Marvin was one of them.In this episode, Marvin breaks down everything, the night itself, what he saw at Emirates Stadium, why this title hits different to any trophy, and what it actually took to get here. From Arteta's first press conference ("commitment is essential, there's no way you're going to survive here without giving 100%") to three consecutive runner-up finishes that would have broken a lesser squad, to the nine-point lead that nearly evaporated in eleven days, this is the full story.He also gets into: the squad rebuild needed this summer, why Zubimendi might be a problem next year, why Saliba and Gabriel need to stay for at least three more years, the Trent Alexander-Arnold question, what David Raya's golden glove means, why the Arsenal fanbase is unlike anything else in London, and why Kroenke, once booed by every fan in the ground, might be the hidden asset nobody's talking about.Plus: Marvin accidentally ended up on Australian breakfast TV celebrating in the streets. Nobody has the clip. Yet.If you've been waiting 22 years for this, this episode is for you.Acast: https://shows.acast.com/discover-with-marvyn-harrisonApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-marvyn-harrison-podcast/id1531924169Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0vgJd0NT9uEUYYON5k2RDfYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@DiscoverWithMarvynInstagram (main): https://www.instagram.com/discoverwithmarvynInstagram (Dope Black Dads): https://www.instagram.com/dopeblackdadsTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@marvyn_harrisonX: @Marvyn_HarrisonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marvynharrisonSubstack: https://marvynharrison.substack.comWebsite: https://marvynharrison.co.ukWelcome to The Marvyn Harrison Podcast — a story-driven conversation exploring identity, fatherhood, masculinity, relationships, culture, politics, sport, and modern life.In each episode, Marvyn Harrison sits down with leading thinkers, creatives, athletes, policymakers, and cultural voices to unpack the defining moments that shaped them.

Part 2 of this Blood Ties special with Geoffrey and Molly Wansell. Confronting one of Britain's most chilling killers: Dennis Nilsen. Calm, calculated, and hiding in plain sight, he murdered at least twelve young men between 1978 and 1983. Luring victims back to his North London flats, he strangled them, then carried out grotesque rituals, keeping bodies for days, even weeks, before dismembering and disposing of them. It is a story that still shocks.Dubbed the Muswell Hill Murderer, Nilsen was finally caught and convicted at the Old Bailey, sentenced to life, later a whole life term. But the question remains: how did he get away with it for so long?Geoffrey and Molly Wansell dig into the detail, the failures, and the psychology behind the headlines, asking what made Nilsen who he was, and why nobody stopped him sooner.CREDITS: Presenters: Geoffrey and Molly WansellProducer: Peter Shevlin https://pod60.com/Artwork: George LeighMusic: Dan WansellCONTACT: Twitter: @BloodTies_PodInstagram:@bloodtiespodcastEmail: bloodties.podcast@gmail.com YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@bloodtiespodcastSupport: patreon.com/bloodtiespodcastPlease complete our survey if you have time: http://bit.ly/bloodtiespodcast-survey Hosted on Acast.

Arsenal beat West Ham 1-0 at the London Stadium on Sunday to go within potentially 90 minutes of their first Premier League title in over 20 years, but that only tells half the story. West Ham's disallowed 95th minute goal from Callum Wilson has been described as the 'biggest call in VAR history' as it was ruled out for a foul on David Raya. The decision has implications at the bottom of the league too, as it strengthens Spurs' hopes of survival before they take on already-safe Leeds in North London tonight.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Sports & Entertainment Financial Planner and regular contributor Adam Osper along with returning guest Kieran Maguire who is a British academic, author, and broadcaster. Kieran specialises in the finances of association football and wrote the book The Price of Football and also is a co-host of the podcast alongside comedian Kevin Day. We discuss the importance of survival for Tottenham Hotspur on the back of a week which has seen the Club record back-to-back wins for the first time since the opening fortnight of the Premier League season. We reflect on just how much Daniel Levy's legacy hangs over the Club and whether The Lewis Family's decision to remove him without a contingency plan was one of the biggest mistakes of the season, despite the growing fan un-rest towards him personally. We debate the true cost of relegation for Spurs this season and how and why it could ultimately effect them for years to come. Pre-planning is also raised on what that looks like now, on the back of the news that Tottenham are ready to offer Luka Vuskovic a bumper new contract. Spurs director of football Johan Lange has reportedly travelled over to Hamburg recently to speak with Vuskovic about his future in North London. Spurs are also reportedly interested in goalkeepers James Trafford and Bart Verbruggen, with Guglielmo Vicario expected to join Inter. Meanwhile one of Cristian Romero or Micky Van de Ven could leave, while Radu Drăgușin may be sold, opening a pathway for Vuskovic into the first-team. Adam also touches upon his theory of Spurs having free deals in place for Andy Robertson and Marcos Senesi if they stay up, as Kieran predicts in a year's time whether he will be reviewing another set of financial accounts with The Lewis Family still at the helm of the football club and what any sale or takeover could like for Tottenham Hotspur.

I'm 66, and I live in Rugby. I was born here, left when I was 18 to go to university in Portsmouth, and then did my postgraduate studies and a master's in education.I moved to London and worked in North London as a class teacher in the Primary phase. I became a head teacher, or a school principal, by the age of 32, and then I became one of the head teachers in Britain who were sent into failing schools. So I was the headteacher of several very large schools, and at 56, I retired. Like most people, I did not make caring for myself a priority. We were placed in some very scary situations, but as professionals, we have to deal with them and accept all the responsibilities. I slept badly, I worried about everything and everyone, and I ate erratically. I could go all day without eating, then eat everything.Yet each day arrive at 6.30 am with a smile on my face and get ready for a new day!! I had no control, and buffets were a nightmare. I can't have one biscuit!! I can stand and toast white bread until the cows come home.I can eat 5 doughnuts in 10 bites.I was 120 kilos with a belly and a round face, and I hated myself. I did all the diets and lost weight that always returned, plus more.Finally, I read Dr Fung's book, then Glenn Livingston's book on bingeing, then Gin Stephen's and then you, and it's changed my life.But I feel we underestimate the power of fake food and chemicals. With hindsight, walking away from recreational drugs, from smoking 40cigarettes a day, was easier than the pull of ultra-processed fake foods. I am back in Rugby because my Mum is 89 and housebound, and I can't, in good conscience, not be around. So I've slipped into being a caregiver, which wasn't the plan. I live with my partner, Juan, and we have been together for ten years. IF has helped me in so many other ways. I love the mental clarity, I feel positive and happy, every day feels like an education, and I'm learning about myself and finally putting my own needs first. If I want to be the best life partner or most helpful child to my Mum, then I need to take care.

Poltergeist activity remains one of the most misunderstood and disputed phenomena in paranormal research. Unlike traditional hauntings, poltergeist cases — a term derived from the German words for "noisy ghost" — involve flying objects, spontaneous fires, unexplained sounds, and even physical assaults on the living. But are these terrifying events caused by restless spirits, or could the source of the chaos be something far closer to home? Researchers have documented dozens of cases suggesting that the answer may be both — and that certain locations seem to attract and amplify paranormal energy in ways that blur the line between haunting and human. From the infamous Tina Resch case in Columbus, Ohio, to the Enfield Poltergeist in North London, to a farm in Macomb, Illinois consumed by mysterious fires, the evidence points to something that science has yet to fully explain. These are the cases that have challenged investigators, baffled law enforcement, and left witnesses questioning everything they thought they knew about the world around them.FEATURED STORIES IN THIS EPISODE: We'll look at several cases of reported poltergeist activity and try to determine if it's supernatural, human in nature, or possibly a little of both. (Poltergeists) *** Bigfoot, Sasquatch, Yeti, the Abominable Snowman… unexplained and unproven two-legged hairy beasts are seen all over the world. But there is another strange hairy ape like creature in North America that doesn't get the same amount of press – but is just as mysterious and frightening as the others. (The Mysterious Devil Monkeys of North America) *** Weirdo family member Danny Rendon tells the true story of… (The Horror on Harbor Lights Drive) *** For over a century, mysterious lights were seen bobbing up and down along the railroad tracks near Maco Station, a few miles west of Wilmington, North Carolina. To this day no one knows what they were. (The Maco Light) *** The tragic Tina Resch case started with the claims of a poltergeist haunting… and ended with the death of a child. (The Tina Resch Poltergeist Case) *** Weirdo family member Alana describes her childhood home where she heard strange footsteps and banging on doors when no one was home, and a crucifix which refused to stay upright. (The Fallen Crucifix) *** An Australian man tells of a fishing trip where he and a couple of friends come across what appears to be a Yowie or Bigfoot… but more humanlike. (The Hairy Man of Kowmung River) *** Haunting the historic Hollywood Cemetery in Richmond, Virginia are eerie tales of anguished soldiers, an eternal watch dog, and one hideous vampire with jagged teeth and hanging skin. (The Ghosts of Richmond's Hollywood Cemetery) *** Were Jack the Ripper's victims killed to cover up a Royal scandal?
