John Hockney's memoir gives a rare insight into the unusual life of one of the world's most famous artists.He grew up in the industrial town of Bradford in Northern England and was one of five children in a creative household, led by his iconoclastic father Kenneth, a conscientious objector who always told his children to 'never worry what the neighbours think'.During the war, there were many shortages. As child, John's brother David would creep downstairs in the morning and draw on whatever paper was available.He drew figures, streets, houses, landscapes and cartoons on the white edge of the newspaper, his mother's magazines, or whatever comics arrived that day.When David got his first sketchbook at the age of 10, his parents realised his drawing was much more than compulsive doodling.This episode of Conversations was first broadcast in 2020Further InformationJohn Hockney's memoir is called The Hockneys: Never Worry About What the Neighbours Think

Starmer has vowed to defend his position, but will Burnham's team be able to cajole him into resignation? Host Lucy Fisher is joined by Financial Times commentators, Inside Politics columnist Stephen Bush, political editor George Parker and Northern England correspondent Jennifer Williams to discuss what could play out in Westminster over the coming weeks, who a Burnham premiership would have as chancellor, and what Reform's defeat in Makerfield means for Farage.

Dean Hall was sick, grieving, and without hope — until he made a decision that changed everything: find something worth living for. In this powerful encore release from the Biological Blueprint, Dean joins Freddie to explore the terrain that no lab test can measure — purpose, spirit, and the courage to take just one more step. Drawing on Viktor Frankl's observations from Auschwitz, Dean reveals why it wasn't the strongest or the smartest who survived the unsurvivable — it was those most passionately tied to a purpose larger than themselves. He walks through his three pillars for navigating a dark night of the soul: releasing the need for perfection, trusting the body's innate ability to heal what it created, and the radical simplicity of asking yourself only one question — what is the next step? Whether you're 180 miles into an open water swim or sitting with a diagnosis that just changed your life, Dean's answer is always the same: you already know. The second half of this conversation goes into territory rarely explored in health and wellness — transgenerational trauma, family systems therapy, and the epigenetic wounds passed silently from generation to generation. Dean shares how he's only recently begun mapping his own ancestral lineage, from a 14-year-old great grandmother who crossed the ocean alone from Sweden to fishermen and brawlers from Northern England — and how forest bathing and cold water immersion have become his most powerful tools for releasing what isn't his to carry. He also shares a profoundly simple breathwork and prayer practice he has used with thousands of clients over 20 years — a tool he calls centering down — that uses the brain's hardwired need to answer every question it's asked to surface your deepest purpose. One hundred percent of people who stick with it through the frustration, he says, find their answer. This one is worth a second listen. Episode Highlights [02:13] – Dean shares the world-record swims that reshaped his life after cancer [06:36] – How mindfulness and purpose helped him endure extreme physical suffering [10:20] – The sudden brain cancer diagnosis that took his wife's life in just 52 days [14:20] – Losing his identity after grief and feeling completely disconnected from himself [20:52] – Discovering leukemia during a routine knee surgery workup [24:30] – Viktor Frankl's work on meaning becomes a turning point in Dean's recovery [31:00] – Why swimming the Willamette River became a mission bigger than himself [41:22] – Attempting the 187-mile swim while living with active leukemia and lymphoma [46:47] – How cold water immersion unexpectedly changed his mental and physical health [51:20] – The shocking blood test that showed his leukemia had disappeared [58:14] – Forest bathing, natural killer cells, and the role of nature in healing [01:03:20] – How grief finally began leaving his body in the forest [01:07:20] – Dean's philosophy of “BioWild Psychology” and reconnecting with nature [01:15:22] – Why people facing illness must become active participants in their healing Links & Resources: Dean's Website: https://www.thewildcureway.com/ “The Wild Cure” book: https://www.thewildcureway.com/books Upgrade Your Health The Biological Blueprint Course: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprint Earn 200 in BitCoin + Change your health BEAM Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN LightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794 Code: beautifullybroken Silver Biotics Wound Healing Gel: https://bit.ly/3JnxyDD 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKEN StemRegen: https://www.stemregen.co/products/stemregen?_ef_transaction_id=&oid=1&affid=52 Code: beautifullybroken CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/freddie.kimmelYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@beautifullybrokenworld Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Joanne Mitchell on Broken Bird, Directing in Serbia, and the Actor-Director Journey How do you take a story set in the rolling hills and local pubs of Northern England and shoot it entirely in Belgrade, Serbia? This week on The Filmmakers Podcast, Giles Alderson sits down with actor, producer, and director Joanne Mitchell to discuss her incredible feature directorial debut, Broken Bird. Originally developed from her award-winning short film Sybil, the film was an opening night selection at FrightFest and is now available on all major VOD platforms! Joanne pulls back the curtain on her amazing journey from producing gritty, micro-budget indies with her partner Dominic Brunt, to landing a $2 Million ($1.5M GBP) budget through Catalyst Studios as part of an incredible all-female slate. She breaks down the massive logistical challenges of shooting in Serbia, including navigating brutalist architecture, 85-degree heat, and the language barrier of working with a local crew. We also dive deep into the actor-director dynamic. Drawing from her own extensive acting career, Joanne shares her philosophy on why directors must protect an actor's rhythm, the importance of private notes, and how she cast her incredible lead, Rebecca Calder. Plus, we hear the amazing story of how she hired her brilliant cinematographer, Igor Marovic, purely on gut instinct over a Zoom call!

Would you be the same person if you'd grown up in different surroundings? How might you be different if you'd grown up in an urban versus a rural environment, or in a different country altogether? This is the age-old, nature-nurture debate that has had people pondering for many years. Is your personality written in your genes or shaped by your experience? Most experts agree that it is a combination of both. Let's hear about ways this can be put to the test.如果你在不同的环境中长大，你还会是同一个人吗？ 如果你是在城市环境中长大，而不是在乡村环境中长大，或者在完全不同的国家中长大，你会有什么不同？ 这是一个古老的、先天与后天的争论，多年来一直引起人们的思考。 你的性格是由你的基因决定的还是由你的经历塑造的？ 大多数专家都认为这是两者的结合。 让我们听听可以对此进行测试的方法。A common way is to study twin pairs, because if personality came only from genes, you might expect identical twins to have the same, or a very similar, personality. Research called 'Meta-analysis of the heritability of human traits based on fifty years of twin studies' looked at 14 million twin pairs in 39 countries. Do identical twins, who share almost identical DNA, have more similar personalities than non-identical twins, who share about half? By comparing the two, the authors concluded that about 50% of the differences between people can be explained by genetic factors, meaning that our genes play a significant role in shaping who we are, but our environment and experiences are just as important.一种常见的方法是研究双胞胎，因为如果性格仅来自基因，您可能会期望同卵双胞胎具有相同或非常相似的性格。 名为“基于 50 年双胞胎研究的人类特征遗传性荟萃分析”的研究对 39 个国家的 1400 万对双胞胎进行了研究。 拥有几乎相同 DNA 的同卵双胞胎是否比拥有大约一半 DNA 的异卵双胞胎拥有更多相似的性格？ 通过比较两者，作者得出结论，人与人之间大约 50% 的差异可以通过遗传因素来解释，这意味着我们的基因在塑造我们是谁方面发挥着重要作用，但我们的环境和经历也同样重要。Other studies looked to see whether personality traits were more prevalent in certain geographical regions than in others. For example, in a 2015 study called 'Regional Personality Differences in Great Britain', researchers investigated how the 'Big Five' personality traits, which include extraversion, openness and agreeableness, were geographically distributed. They found there were areas where each trait was more prevalent. For example, agreeableness, which is about friendliness and trust, was more prevalent in the Scottish Highlands and Northern England – more rural areas with lower population densities. Whereas openness, which is associated with curiosity and intellect, was more prevalent in urban, densely populated areas like London, Manchester and Brighton, suggesting that a person's environment can help to foster various traits.其他研究旨在了解人格特质在某些地理区域是否比其他区域更普遍。 例如，在 2015 年一项名为“英国的区域人格差异”的研究中，研究人员调查了“五大”人格特征（包括外向性、开放性和宜人性）的地理分布。 他们发现每种特征在某些领域更为普遍。 例如，关于友善和信任的宜人性在苏格兰高地和英格兰北部——人口密度较低的农村地区更为普遍。 而与好奇心和智力相关的开放性在伦敦、曼彻斯特和布莱顿等人口稠密的城市地区更为普遍，这表明一个人的环境有助于培养各种特质。While our DNA provides a starting point, it is only part of the jigsaw puzzle that makes our personality. As we go through life, we encounter obstacles, we make mistakes, and we learn what we enjoy through experience – all of which can change how we interact with the world.虽然我们的 DNA 提供了一个起点，但它只是构成我们个性的拼图的一部分。 在我们的一生中，我们会遇到障碍，我们会犯错误，我们会通过经验了解我们喜欢什么——所有这些都可以改变我们与世界互动的方式。
This week I'm serving up something a bit different! There is another podcast I do called Tape Spaghetti with my good buddy Scott Marquart. On that podcast, we explore strange musical stories, and I'm giving you a sample of it here. Let's get into it! OG show notes: You already know the chorus. In fact, you've probably scream-sung it at a bar. But, what do you know about the band behind Tubthumping? What if we told you that the biggest pub anthem of the '90s was written by militant anarchic agitators who supported striking miners, clashed with fascists, and called a crumbling Victorian mansion home? Yep, Chumbawamba is probably a LOT more interesting than you might have imagined. In this week's episode of Tape Spaghetti, Scott & Blake trace the band's journey from punk squatters in Northern England to Britpop chart-toppers, and the ideological tightrope they walked along the way. Some might have accused them of selling out, but when "Tubthumping" became a global smash, the band used their spotlight for disruption: rewriting lyrics on national TV, provoking politicians, and donating profits to radical causes. Here's what happens when anarchists accidentally write one of the catchiest pop hooks ever recorded. Support The Show And Connect! The Text Chat is back!

Some brands don't need reinventing — they need remembering. Bob Neville, Global Head of Retail at Pentland Brands (who own Berghaus, among other iconic brands) joins Patrick to talk about what it means to reboot an icon by going back to its roots, to the fells and crags of Northern England where the whole thing started. If you believe the best direction for a brand is sometimes backwards, pull up a seat.
This week we're joined by writer Tom Dean, who hails from Northern England, to discuss his PHD project, which is partially inspired by the kayfabe breaking drama between Matt Hardy, Lita, and Edge. Tim and Tom discuss the fundamental difference between AEW and WWE, finding escapism in characters who are one's polar opposite, working as a freelancer, teaching literature courses, and what new kinds of stories they'd like to see from pro-wrestling. You can read the first page of Tom's project by clicking here.
Billy Barraclough has a deep connection with fell running and so he wanted to tell the story in a specific way. Everything came together for him with the production of “Fellsman,” and now he gets to tell the story that honours the style of running and the region that mean so much to him. It was great hearing about why he wanted to tell this story, and I'm excited to share it today!Film Description:‘Fellsman' is a portrait of young fell runner Sonny Ashton-Fitch. The project follows Sonny during the spring season as he trains for the annual Three Peaks Fell Race. The work is an exploration of Sonny's relationship with the fells that surround him, the landscape that unfurls under foot and the animals he passes. The film reflects on what it means to be a Yorkshireman, how it feels to push your body to its limit and the freedom that comes with an ability to run all over the Dales.From a small village at the base of the North Yorkshire Dales, Sonny has grown up with the fells in his back garden. Ingleborough, Pen-y-Ghent and Whernside stand tall above the rest, and since the age of 12 Sonny has spent any spare time running their steep untamed contours. An unusual fell runner at 6 foot 6, Sonny is a talented athlete who pushes his rangy frame to its limit up the fells and let his legs go loose on technical descents – picking up a speed propelled by gravity that relies on confidence of stable footing.Defined by the steepness of the mountains that are ascended, fell running is a quintessentially amateur British sport that exists in the humblest scale across Northern England.Our screenings:The Last Episode:The Long Run:Listen where you listen:Spotify: Click HereApple Podcasts: Click HereMusic by Paolo Argentino from PixabayWe're on the journey to 2,000 subscribers.

We are joined by environmental historian Dr Ian Maclellan as we wind the clock back through Scotland's long history of land use change: from the ice age to the Romans, clearances, industrialisation and modern pressures. Along the way, we unpack how humans have been part of the landscape – managing it for food, livelihoods and leisure, and the consequences this has had on nature and biodiversity.Scotland's landscapes are often seen as wild and timeless, but people and the land have shaped one another over thousands of years. We discuss this and how understanding yesterday can help us make better decisions for the future. Challenging us to have more nuanced, informed conversations about land restoration and management today - recognising complexity, positive outcomes, unintended consequences, and the realities of climate, culture and history.Host Harry Fisher, Producer Iain Boyd, Editor Kieron Sim, Executive Producers Kerry Hammond & Kirstyn BlackwoodTimestamps:1:25 – 13:38 Introductions and high-level walkthrough of Scotland's natural history13:38 – 31:00 Management of land and our relationships with it31:00 – 43:55 Our perceptions and misconceptions of the land and challenges for the future43:55 – end.

fWotD Episode 3148: Poisoning of Abbot Greenwell Welcome to featured Wiki of the Day, your daily dose of knowledge from Wikipedia's finest articles.The featured article for Wednesday, 17 December 2025, is Poisoning of Abbot Greenwell.Around June 1447, the abbot of Fountains Abbey, in Yorkshire, Northern England, John Greenwell, was poisoned by a monk, William Downom (also Downam). By the 15th century, Fountains was the richest abbey in England, and its abbot was an important figure in local political society. The first half of the century saw it wracked with internal strife, including a disputed election which had violent repercussions and, possibly, embezzlement. Greenwell appears to have brought a degree of peace to the abbey upon his election, but he does not seem to have been popular.Downom poisoned a dish of pottage, which he then attempted to feed the abbot while the latter was sick. Greenwell survived, and the case became notorious. Although it took over a year and discussions with Fountains' motherhouse of Cîteaux Abbey, Downom—who may already have been an apostate—was eventually expelled. Greenwell himself remained controversial and was both accused and accuser in local lawsuits, and later incurred the distrust of King Edward IV for his political leanings. Greenwell eventually resigned in 1471; Downom stayed a monk after being expelled from Fountains and may have joined Kirkstead Abbey in Lincolnshire, following which he disappears from the record.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:20 UTC on Wednesday, 17 December 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Poisoning of Abbot Greenwell on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Joanna.
About Victoria MyersVictoria Myers is the founder of the Small Retailer Network, the UAE's leading membership community for product-based business owners. With a two-decade career in the UK retail industry, she worked her way up from the shop floor to managing 13 stores across Scotland and Northern England for major fashion and accessories brands, including Radley and Karen Millen.Her experience spans customer experience, trading cycles, sales leadership, store operations, and head-office strategy. After relocating to the UAE, Victoria shifted from corporate retail to consultancy, eventually creating a community-driven network that now supports more than 350 small business owners through training, mentorship, and collaboration.Her mission is to bring big-brand structure, strategy, and trading knowledge to small independent brands while creating a space where founders, especially women—can learn, connect, and grow without isolation or competition.About this EpisodeVictoria shares her journey from teenage retail assistant to leading one of the UAE's most influential communities for product entrepreneurs. She talks about the early lessons she learned selling bed linen at 16, why the customer's needs go far beyond the product in their hands, and how working across multiple UK brands taught her that behind every successful retailer lies the same set of systems, planning rhythms, and trading strategies.We explore the pivotal moments that shaped her career—not the promotions she earned, but the ones she didn't. Victoria explains how rejection pushed her to seek new opportunities, how tough feedback became a catalyst for growth, and why success often follows our most painful setbacks. Quotes2:59 - It's very easy to exceed customer expectations and go above and beyond and really delight them when you listen to them and understand what it is that they need. 7:44 - I think it really taught me like success is not necessarily linear, and sometimes the things that you think are the right thing for you is not necessarily the right path. And actually, just because something doesn't work out doesn't mean there's not some other opportunity, there's something else around the corner that will end up being a better opportunity in the long run. 9:25 - I always want people to tell me what they think, so that I can improve myself and continue to progress. 9:38 - Feedback, and sometimes it can feel scary to ask because sometimes people don't say what you want to hear. Honest feedback is always positive in the long term. You just need to make sure that you don't take it too personally and see it as the learning opportunity that it is. 13:25 - I just really wanted everybody to be able to come together and support each other to succeed in a way that at that time they didn't really have that support network around them.15:30 - If you collaborate and work together with others, then not only do you get that support and that confidence to keep going when things are tough, but you also just progress so much more quickly and with so much more confidence. 16:03 - Working together and collaborating just brings success for everybody across the board, and it just makes the journey so much easier. 23:13 - Find some support, find some help, start talking to other people about what advice they can give you. 30:01 - You need to be able to keep going even when things are challenging. You need to be able to dust yourself off and start a game if things don't go according to plan. 30:29 - Community means everything to me. It means support, it means growth, and it means success together.The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review
Our listeners send in thoughtful questions, and we dive into them without preparation or prior review. This way, our responses stay spontaneous and authentic. Today's questions come from Bradford and Port Carlisle—two communities in Northern England with rich histories and unique local perspectives.Andrew, from Bradford, England sent us this - “Are we too focused on Net Zero etc? Why don't we drill our own oil, instead of importing and sustaining economies elsewhere? Aren't we at risk of falling behind?”William highlights that oil extraction requires years of infrastructure development, making it unsuitable for immediate energy needs. He advocates prioritizing renewables, arguing fossil fuel dependence risks long-term disadvantage. Stuart counters that relying on foreign technology, such as Danish wind turbines, could weaken the UK's energy independence unless domestic innovation is fostered. William stresses planning for the next century, pointing to offshore wind as a strategic investment given Britain's coastal geography. Stuart notes some politicians dismiss net zero as “net stupid,” while William observes that short electoral cycles often hinder long-term policy, urging a broader vision beyond four- to five-year terms.Steven, from Port Carlisle, England sent in this question - “Charlie Kirk's killing. Are those who say that his death was about a man exercising his right to free speech and saying what he wants, leaving us to think more deeply about our own views right? Or are others who discuss other contributing factors right? Religion, Debate, Guns, Antagonism, Politics, Division, Conspiracies, For and Against, Disquiet etc etc etc”.Stuart reflects on whether Charlie Kirk's death stemmed from free speech or political division, concluding multiple influences were at play. He argues that freedom of speech is not absolute, noting the individual involved was both intellectual and religious, and sees the event as a symptom of wider societal fractures in America. Stuart admits limited engagement with Kirk's content, focusing instead on psychology and body language to assess truthfulness. William, aware of Kirk's presence online, suspects his approach was designed to provoke reactions and generate revenue. He cautions that expressing opinions can trigger extreme consequences, though he did not follow Kirk closely. Stuart proposes examining what freedom of speech truly means, distinguishing between genuine restrictions and social politeness, and questioning whether a universal definition exists.What do you make of this discussion?

In this travel-happy episode of Pastors' Wives Tell All, we sit down with our globe-trotting friend Amy to talk about all things travel — including her epic trips to Israel, which are basically the spiritual Olympics of tourism. We kick things off with rapid-fire questions that reveal way too much about all of us (as usual), then dive into stories about eating local foods, navigating intense-but-amazing Holy Land tours, and trying not to cry at biblical sites… but failing spectacularly.We also chat about safety (because, you know… travel), swap stories about leading tour groups without losing people, and dream about future adventures — including a Northern England and Scotland tour that we are absolutely inviting ourselves on. By the end, the only thing clearer than Amy's love for travel is the fact that we desperately want to travel together… even though it may be a mild disaster.Get all the info about our next pastors' wives retreat and apply here:https://www.pastorswivestellall.com/attendaretreatTo purchase the BOOK, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/bookTo shop our MERCH, head here: https://pastorswivestellall.com/shopWant to support the Pastors' Wives Tell All podcast ministry?

“Why don't we remember being babies?” This question opens a fascinating discussion about memory and development, alongside intriguing inquiries about the implications of an infinite multiverse on God’s creation and redemption. Other topics include the possibility of witnessing historical events from afar and the nature of cryptids, exploring whether they could be demons in disguise. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 11:20 – My 8-year-old wants to know why we don't have memories from when we are babies? 29:40 – Greetings from Northern England, where we also eat dinner in the middle of the day! My question is this: If an infinite multiverse does indeed exist, does that mean that in each universe God would either have to 1) not create rational beings capable of falling or 2) when he does, incarnate in each universe to redeem it? If a third option is possible it would seem that the fall and the incarnation are not necessary, and if they aren't God wouldn't be perfectly good in allowing them. 43:26 – If we could quickly travel vast distances in space and also had extreme telescope technology. Would it be possible to travel thousands of light years away, then turn our amazing telescopes back on earth and watch the pyramids being built or travel 65 million light years and see what killed the dinosaurs etc.? 50:00 – Could some cryptids be demons in disguise?
We head to Northern England for Dan's first tale and meet the creepy bog hag, Jenny Greenteeth. She's the monster kids went to sleep fearing for centuries there, worried the next time they strayed to close to a pond's edge, they might get sucked in and never return alive. Then we go to Japan for more water horror. We'll meet the kappa a river monster who might come for your butthole if you don't give him a cucumber. Finally, we'll head to Australia and meet a billabong-haunting cryptid called the Bunyip. Lynze is sharing a creepy, strange and unexplained tale of Thanksgiving gone wrong. Lastly, she shares a mystical moment from a fan who has some kind of encounter while camping.

An English Puritan separatist originally from Yorkshire in Northern England, William Bradford moved to Holland with other Pilgrims in order to escape religious persecution from King James of England, and then emigrated to northeastern North America on the ship Mayflower in 1620. He was a signatory to the Mayflower Compact agreement between the settlers and went on to serve as Governor of the Plymouth Colony intermittently for about 30 years. E266.

In this episode of Girls On Film, host Anna Smith speaks with two phenomenal women whose new films explore resilience, justice, and the power of female storytelling. First, Anna catches up with acclaimed actor Samantha Morton, known for her unforgettable performances in In America, Movern Callar, and She Said. Samantha discusses her role as Nessa in ANEMONE, a haunting drama following two estranged brothers reuniting in the wilds of Northern England, written and directed by Ronan Day-Lewis. She also reflects with Anna on her career choices and shares her thoughts on gender in film. ANEMONE is released in UK cinemas on 7 November 2025. Then Anna talks with Dolores Fonzi, the celebrated Argentinian actor, director, and co-writer of BELÉN, Argentina's official submission for the 2025 International Feature Oscar. BELÉN tells the moving story of women uniting to fight injustice, inspired by true events surrounding a young woman falsely accused of infanticide. Dolores discusses the film's real-life origins, her transition to directing, and how the movement for reproductive rights continues to shape the political landscape in Argentina today. BELÉN is released in select UK cinemas from 7 November 2025, and available on Prime Video from 14 November. This episode is in part-partnership with Amazon MGM Studios.

What Just Happened - Episode SummaryRugby League's Private Equity Play: Super League Seeks InvestmentThe Rugby Football League is in talks with private equity firms, including Lion Cap Global and Oakwell Sports Advisory, about selling a stake in Super League. This comes 30 years after Super League's formation with Sky backing, yet the sport remains in a similar position—geographically concentrated in Northern England with passionate but limited fan base. The move raises questions about IMG's role, as they're only three years into a 12-year "re-imagining" partnership. The episode questioned why the sport needs PE investment if IMG's transformation was succeeding, and how multiple stakeholders (PE, IMG, diverse club owners) would navigate competing visions for the sport's future. Breaking news during the recording revealed York Knights and Toulouse as the two new teams joining the expanded Super League, notably excluding London despite assumptions about PE interest in southern expansion.The Bill Murray Effect: Stars Trump Sports in Modern BroadcastingBill Murray will front a new Paramount Plus/BBC documentary series touring Irish golf courses, described by the BBC as a "genre-bending road trip" where "golf is just the excuse." This exemplifies the shift toward personality-driven sports content, where the star matters more than the sport itself. The discussion extended to Ari Emmanuel launching interview series on X, and the broader trend of influencers acquiring rights (like French influencer Zach Nanny getting French U21 football rights). Traditional broadcasters are caught between old methods and chasing new audiences through celebrity-led formats, often appearing to lack confidence in the sports themselves as sufficient draw.TNT's Ashes Coverage Controversy: Expertise vs. EntertainmentTNT's announcement of their Ashes broadcasting team sparked backlash among cricket fans, with rugby commentator Alistair Ekin and cycling commentator Rob Hatch as lead voices, plus football/boxing reporter Becky Ives presenting. The debate centered on whether generalist broadcasters can match specialist expertise, with examples like Andrew Cotter and Jim Rosenthal as counterpoints. The deeper question: are broadcasters too focused on capturing "promiscuous outer layer" fans while neglecting devoted audiences? With matches at 3am UK time and Sky declining to bid, the episode questioned TNT's strategy and whether cricket fans might cobble together YouTube/TikTok alternatives rather than subscribe—potentially undermining the traditional broadcast model entirely.Unofficial Partner is the leading podcast for the business of sport.

In 1988, a new section of road was carved through the hills of the Peak District in Northern England. Built to divert heavy traffic away from the small town of Stocksbridge, the bypass was meant to bring relief. But almost from the start, strange reports began to surface from workers on the site - sightings of figures where no one should be, and unsettling incidents that defied explanation. In the years that followed, this stretch of highway became known not just for its hauntings, but for the unusually high number of lives it would go on to claim.

CW: Spoilers for 28 Days Later and discussions of disturbing subject matter.Jacob Dallas and Lenore Olson of the literary podcast The Socialist Shelf join me from Atlanta for a discussion of Danny Boyle's 28 Years Later.Set a couple of decades after the UK was consumed by the Rage Virus of the first film and is now a nation isolated from the rest of the world, 28 Years Later takes place on a small island community in Northern England that has in turn isolated itself from the mainland, and depicts the rituals of this broken society where the surviving men are the hunter gatherers and the women are the providers.28 Years Later also operates as a metaphor for the UK in the shadow of Brexit and the COVID-19 pandemic, with a society that has forgotten the details of the past but carries on. We discuss some of the provocative ideas 28 Years Later puts forward, including some sympathy for the infected, some contempt for the surviving human race, and the disturbing (and unexpectedly comedic) coda that marks this film as Extremely British, which may not have been clear to international audiences (and indeed enraged some British viewers), while setting up next January's sequel.Over 30% of all Junk Filter episodes are only available to patrons of the podcast.

Running truly connects us across continents, time zones, and finish lines—a truth brilliantly illustrated in this globe-spanning episode. We begin with a comprehensive look at the triumphant return of Disneyland racing through the Halloween-themed race weekend that kicked off the 2025-2026 runDisney season. Our panel of runners shares firsthand experiences navigating the Disneyland expo, enjoying extensive park time during both the 10K and half marathon, and discovering how the California races differ from their Florida counterparts in delightful ways.The adventure continues halfway around the world as we visit with Carrie, who conquered the Sydney Marathon—recently designated as the seventh World Major. Despite challenging hills that surprised this Florida runner, she achieved a personal record while taking in breathtaking views, including the iconic Sydney Opera House. We learn about the unique medal design and how the Abbott World Marathon Majors program is evolving as it expands beyond the original six races.Our international tour concludes in Newcastle, England, where the Great North Run—the world's largest half marathon with an astonishing 60,000 participants—captivated both runners and the 200,000 spectators lining the course. Andy shares how this nationally televised event has become a cultural touchstone in Northern England, complete with helicopter coverage and a deeply personal connection as he continues trying to beat his father's time from decades ago.Between these major events, we explore dozens of race reports from community members conquering everything from trail challenges to local 5Ks, demonstrating that whether you're stomping grapes like Alysha or pushing through marathon training, the running journey connects us all. With Wine and Dine just six weeks away and marathon weekend training intensifying, there's never been a better time to find your place in this worldwide community of runners.Rollercoaster of RunningStokes Running StrongRise and Run LinksRise and Run Podcast Facebook PageRise and Run Podcast InstagramRise and Run Podcast Website and ShopRise and Run PatreonRunningwithalysha Alysha's Run Coaching (Mention Rise And Run and get $10 off)Send us a textSupport the showRise and Run Podcast is supported by our audience.

Features a preview of the Debut Single "Young Romilly Sinks" by Bolton 'band' The Bolton Bardeaters. Hi guys! It's been about two years since I've launched a podcast, but I wanted to give you what I hope is exciting news. First, if you keep listening, you're going to hear the trailer for a new podcast that launches this week called the InterestingPOD hosted by me. It's the first podcast I've produced in almost two years, and I'm really excited about it. I'd tell you more, but if you'll keep listening just a few minutes, the trailer will tell you everything you need to know. Another bit of news too - this podcast, which began in 2019 as the Bible Mystery podcast, is about to have it's fifth rebirth as the BEACHcast. The Beach kind of has a double meaning. I live in the Monterey/Salinas area of California now, just a few miles from the beach, and I've always been a beach guy. More than that, Beachcast is an acronym that stands for Bible Exploration, Apologetics and Church History, and that podcast is planned to launch ALSO in July of 2025. I look forward to talking to you about some fascinating Bible topics like Whether Christians should Pray to Mary/Pray to the Saints, the Reliability of the Bible, Can historians prove Jesus existed? Does communion/the Eucharist, literally turn into the Body and Blood of Jesus? What is the Number of the Beast - is it 666, or maybe even an older number written down in the oldest manuscript of Revelation that we have! There will be lots more of those kind of topics too, as we relaunch shortly to explore the Bible, apologetics and the fascinating world of Church history. I'm Doctor Chase, your host, but if you meet me in real life, it's just plain Chase. I have a doctoral degree in counseling, and am finishing up work on a PhD in history, and I love doing a deep dive on these kinds of topics, and I hope you'll join in! Ok, that's all for the beachcast…just stay tuned - I hope to have the first episode out later in July, Lord willing and the Creek don't rise. Oh yeah, by the way - the first episode of InterestingPOD, which will drop later this week, is about the Bolton Strid. If you don't know what that is, you will soon, but I'll just tell you it's one of the most dangerous stretches of water in the entire world, and is supposed to have a 100 percent fatality rate for anybody who falls in, even though it mostly looks like a regular river. But buddy, it's anything but regular. Before I play the trailer for the upcoming podcast, let me play a clip from a song about the Bolton Strid from a band we “commissioned” for the first episode of InterestingPOD. (each episode will have its own song!) The band is local to Bolton, in Northern England where you'll find the Strid, and they're called the Bolton Bardeaters. Here's their song about the Strid, which features lyrics by Friend of the Show William Wordsworth. Buckle up…it hits hard.

Here's a surprise! An extra episode of Haptic & Hue. We said we were taking a break for July and August and yes, we are. But we thought we would give you a taste of what Friends of Haptic & Hue sounds like and invite you to join the other podcast that we make every month. So here is the episode of Travels with Textiles that was uploaded for Friends in May this year, just as UNESCO announced that it was adding an old quilting practice to the list of crafts that have intangible cultural heritage status. Quilting in a flat frame with a rocking stitch has a history that stretches back certainly to the 16th century and maybe much further. This is one of the original forms of quilting on cloth, creating beautiful and complex patterns as it is done. This technique often produces a style of quilting known as whole cloth quilts. Hand quilting in a frame is being placed on the Red List of Endangered Crafts by the Heritage Crafts Council as the number of elderly practitioners of this skill, mainly in Wales, Northern England and the Scottish Borders continues to dwindle and quilting frames disappear.

In this week's Uncovered episode, Brian takes you deep into the chilling history of one of Britain's most infamous serial killers: Peter Sutcliffe, better known as the Yorkshire Ripper. From 1975 to 1980, Sutcliffe terrorized Northern England with a string of brutal murders that left entire communities gripped with fear. But this episode isn't just about the crimes—it's about the systemic failures, missed opportunities, and the cultural landscape that allowed a killer to slip through the cracks time and time again.Brian unpacks the timeline of Sutcliffe's violent spree, dissecting the official investigations, the missteps by law enforcement, and the media frenzy that fueled public hysteria. With a law enforcement background of his own, Brian brings insight into how biases and assumptions—particularly toward the victims—delayed justice and cost lives.We revisit the women behind the headlines—mothers, daughters, workers, students—whose stories were too often overshadowed by the mythology of the Ripper himself.This isn't about glorifying the killer. It's about holding up a lens to the society that failed to stop him. With exclusive details, a grounded historical lens, and a no-nonsense approach to the uncomfortable truths behind one of Britain's darkest chapters, this episode lays the foundation for the week's deeper exploration into psychology, victim impact, and institutional accountability.Listen to the full episode and be sure to follow us for Wednesday's “ReWired” analysis with Dani, where we unravel the psychological profile and lasting societal scars of the case. Then come back Friday for the co-hosted “Revisited” discussion, where Brian and Dani dig even deeper into what we've learned—and what history still refuses to face.Subscribe now and don't miss a case file.This is The Guilty Files: True Crime Uncovered.

Are you hungry? Depending on your…erm… tastes, the next hour of conversation will do strange things to your appetite. Our guest is Lucy Rose, whose debut novel, The Lamb renders muscle and fat and sorrow down into a rich stew of cannibalism and rural Gothic. We talk about how rooted this book is in the landscape, history and folklore of Northern England – and we also talk a lot about eating people. How to make it sound gross… how to make it sound weirdly poetic. This is a book that's gonna get people talking. Enjoy!

Between 1975 and 1980, The Yorkshire Ripper terrorized Northern England. His attacks and murders were reminiscent of Jack The Ripper, who operated in the late 1800s. Letters signed Jack The Ripper and a recording supposedly of the killer's voice only served to taunt the police. Join Mike and Morf as they discuss the crimes of Peter Sutcliffe, aka The Yorkshire Ripper. In this second and last episode on The Yorkshire Ripper, we detail Peter Sutcliffe's background and arrest. People began questioning why the police hadn't identified Sutcliffe sooner, which could have saved lives.
