The fifth episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded 'Down The Local' in Liverpool, as Rob Gutmann hosts Steve Graves and Mo Stewart to discuss worst pub toilet experiences, music in pubs, Glastonbury, and more... The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland. Well, sort of. It's equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it's as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves. The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true' pub. Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob's mates), we'll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers. The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham. Plug yourself in to the ongoing conversation as it disappears down all manner of tenuously pub-related worm holes, with your new mates at TPC.

More than 500 mothers and babies came to harm or died as a result of inadequate care at Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust. That's according to Donna Ockenden's review into the maternity services there. Anita Rani speaks to the Times' Health Editor Eleanor Hayward, and mothers Sarah Hawkins and Sarah Andrews whose babies, Harriet and Wynter, both died from preventable errors.Sarah Vine's memoir, How Not to Be a Political Wife, is out in paperback this week, coinciding with the 10 year anniversary of the Brexit vote. The Daily Mail columnist was married to the former Conservative minister Michael Gove, a leading figure in the campaign for the UK to leave the European Union. She gives Anita her take on some of the most turbulent years in modern British politics, and how the pressures affected her friendships, her family, and ultimately her marriage.Over half of women diagnosed with breast cancer are outside the current 50-70 age range for screening, according to new research by a youth focused breast cancer awareness charity. It's calling for the age of women given screening to be lowered. Anita is joined by Sophie Dopierala-Bull, Director of Services and Engagement at CoppaFeel! A new exhibition at the Tate Modern in London looks at how and why the Mexican artist Frida Kahlo became a global icon and a key influence on a generation of artists. Anita speaks to Bea Garcia, co-curator of the exhibition Frida - the making of an icon, and author Hettie Judah.

At the peak of his movie stardom and in the wake of having just won several Oscars for Best Picture-winner Dances With Wolves which he both starred in and directed, Kevin Costner (Yellowstone, Bull Durham, JFK) took on the iconic role of Robin of Locksley for his next major project.  He partnered with long-time friend and director Kevin Reynolds (Waterworld, The Count of Monte Cristo) to spearhead this this new adaptation of an iconic story, while also filling key roles with several prominent stars of the time including Oscar-winner Morgan Freeman as Azeem, Christian Slater as Will Scarlett, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio as Marian, and most importantly at the time.....Alan Rickman (Die Hard) as the Sheriff of Nottingham.  What resulted was a very rushed, messy production where several roles ended up being miscast (including California-native Costner as the British Robin) and where the villain pretty much stole the show.  And yet when released in June of 1991, this film was a MASSIVE hit (much of that due to Costner's stardom) with several iconic scenes and a best-selling soundtrack.  In fact, this would go to be the ONLY genuinely successful on-screen adaptation of the Robin Legend since then.....so did it actually work, does it hold up?  Well only one way to find out....and remember that before you embark on this review: No blades!

Nick and Amanda also discussed Marie Bouzkova's title-winning run in Nottingham and what it means heading into Wimbledon, while Filipino sensation Alexandra Eala continues to turn heads after a breakthrough Berlin campaign that included wins over top players before her semifinal run ended against Noskova. With Bad Homburg next on her schedule, we assess whether another deep run is on the cards. Plus, the tennis world is buzzing over Serena Williams return to Wimbledon singles competition, and we examine what that could mean for the tournament and her legacy. We also take a closer look at the worrying trend surrounding world No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka, whose grass-court preparations suffered a setback after a semifinal defeat to Jessica Pegula in Berlin.

Pope Leo XIV stood inside the Sagrada Família in Barcelona on the 100th anniversary of Antoni Gaudí's death and blessed the Tower of Jesus Christ — making it the tallest Catholic church in the world at 566 feet. A church that took 144 years to build and was born from the vision of a man who died in 1926 looking like a beggar on the street after being hit by a tram on his way to daily Mass. The next day, the Pope traveled to the Canary Islands and stood at the port known as the Dock of Shame — where thousands of migrants from West Africa have died trying to cross the Atlantic. He threw a bouquet of flowers into the sea in silence for the dead and said what every human heart already knows: human dignity has no passport.On June 11th, 250 bishops of the United States knelt in Orlando and formally consecrated this nation to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The relics of Saint Margaret Mary Alacoque, the French nun to whom Jesus first revealed devotion to his Sacred Heart, were flown from Paris specifically to be in that room. Corpus Christi Sunday sent Catholics into the streets around the world carrying Jesus through neighborhoods, past flower-draped balconies, continuing a tradition that is now 800 years old.And June 13th was the feast of Saint Anthony of Padua; the patron of lost things, yes, but more importantly, the patron of lost souls. He has been finding them for 800 years. He is not done. If you know someone who has walked away from the faith, pray to Saint Anthony for them today.

“Locksley! I'm going to cut your heart out with a spoon!” Join Ian, Liam, Kev & Debbie for our 335th episode as we celebrate the 35th anniversary of Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (1991). Grab your bow, avoid the Sheriff's dinner invitations, and prepare for a film packed with accents of varying legality, spoon-based violence, and enough Alan Rickman scenery-chewing to feed Nottingham for a winter. Megs isn't with us this week — she was scheduled to record, but unfortunately entered an archery tournament disguised as a peasant and is currently hiding from the Sheriff's tax collectors. This week we discuss: Kevin Costner's Robin Hood — movie star charisma, questionable accent, and whether audiences have ever really cared. Alan Rickman's Sheriff of Nottingham — one of cinema's great villains. Does he completely hijack the film from everyone around him? Morgan Freeman's Azeem — wisdom, dignity, and why he often feels like the smartest person in every scene. The 1991 blockbuster formula — action, romance, comedy, spectacle. Is this the perfect example of a film designed to entertain first and ask questions later? Ian explores the film's historical accuracy — or more accurately, the complete lack of concern anyone involved seems to have had about it. Liam questions whether the film is secretly two films at once — a sincere Robin Hood adventure and a dark comedy starring Alan Rickman. Kev dives into the action sequences — archery, sword fights, castle assaults, and how well they hold up three and a half decades later. Debbie weighs in on the romance — does Robin and Marian's relationship actually work, or is it simply required by law in a Robin Hood movie? The supporting cast — Michael Wincott, Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Christian Slater, and one very famous cameo that audiences still cheer for. The accent debate — does Costner's performance improve if you simply accept that nobody in this film comes from the same county, let alone country? The “show vs tell” balance — does the film earn its emotional moments, or rely on Bryan Adams to do the heavy lifting? The ending — triumphant, excessive, and unapologetically crowd-pleasing. Is this blockbuster filmmaking at its purest? And finally, whether Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves is the Best Film Ever — or simply one of the most entertaining adventure films of the 1990s.

WTA Weekly – Queen's Club Review & Berlin/Nottingham Preview Welcome to WTA Weekly. This week, the grass-court season delivered one of its best stories as Donna Vekic completed a remarkable run to win the Queen's Club title in London. Entering the tournament as a lucky loser after falling in qualifying, Vekic took full advantage of her second chance and capped the week with a 6-0, 7-6(6) victory over home favourite Emma Raducanu in the final. Vekic dominated the opening set before Raducanu fought back impressively in the second. The Brit recovered from a difficult start, built a lead, and even held set points, but Vekic's experience on grass proved decisive in a tense tiebreak. The Croatian eventually converted her fifth championship point to secure her first title in several years. Despite the loss, Raducanu leaves Queen's with plenty of positives. After an injury- and illness-disrupted season, she reached the final without dropping a set before Sunday and recorded victories over multiple top players. Her form suggests she could be a dangerous contender during the remainder of the grass swing and at Wimbledon. As for Vekic, the title continues a remarkable turnaround. She only entered the main draw after a late withdrawal created a lucky-loser spot, yet she navigated the field brilliantly and now heads into Wimbledon full of confidence. Looking ahead, attention shifts to the WTA 500 event in Berlin, one of the strongest grass-court tournaments outside Wimbledon. The field is expected to feature many of the tour's top players, making it a crucial test before the Championships. Meanwhile, the WTA event in Nottingham offers another opportunity for players to gain valuable grass-court matches and ranking points. With Wimbledon just around the corner, every match becomes increasingly important as players fine-tune their games for the year's biggest grass-court event. That's all for this week's WTA Weekly. The road to Wimbledon is heating up, and after Vekic's incredible lucky-loser triumph at Queen's, the grass season has already shown that anything can happen. Learn more about your ad choices.

They released their debut EP on Pigboy/Vinyl Solution in 1989, Fudge Tunnel. Although marketed as an EP, due to its short length, it was named "Single of the Week" in NME magazine in January 1990, with NME declaring "Absolutely and totally the best single ever to be released in 1990. Total nine guitar attack-rock". The band followed up with their second EP, The Sweet Sound of Excess, in 1990, again on Pigboy/Vinyl Solution. Fudge Tunnel also found support via DJ John Peel as they recorded a Peel Session in 1990. They then signed to Nottingham's Earache Records. Their full-length debut album was 1991's Hate Songs in E Minor, which attracted a large amount of press interest after the original album artwork was confiscated by the Nottingham Vice Squad

Nottingham Health Trust did not respond to a request for comment. The CPS said they were ‘fully engaging with the public inquiry'. During the inquiry, a representative from the University of Nottingham said that since Valdo Calocane had left the university, the university had “continued to refine and adapt its policies and processes, but any changes made have not been as a direct result of the attacks themselves.” The spokesperson added that: "The University does not take the view that any of the changes made would have had an impact on the devastating attacks which took place.” The Department of Health said that “whilst there has been significant investment in mental health services over the past ten years, demand has risen and outpaced the services available”, and acknowledged “a significant and ongoing rise in demand means there remains a substantial treatment gap”.

Esclavage: «Nous restons encore à la surface de ces 350 années», selon le chercheur Siddharth Kara

Comment se rendre réellement compte de ce qu'ont vécu pendant la traite négrière les personnes transformées en esclaves et transportées à travers l'Atlantique pour être vendues à des planteurs ? Un livre d'histoire qui vient d'être traduit en français nous plonge dans la brutalité du quotidien des esclaves. Cet ouvrage est intitulé Le Zorg, du nom d'un navire négrier à bord duquel s'est déroulé un épisode d'une rare cruauté à la fin du 18e siècle. Une tragédie qui, une fois connue, a joué un rôle déterminant dans le combat des abolitionnistes. Pour en parler, nous recevons l'auteur du livre Siddharth Kara, universitaire à Harvard et à Nottingham. RFI : Que s'est-il passé à bord du Zorg à la fin de l'année 1781 ? Siddharth Kara : Le navire s'est égaré. Il a été détourné par des tempêtes et, au cours de son voyage vers la Jamaïque, il a semblé manquer d'eau. L'équipage a dû prendre une décision… et pour réduire la consommation d'eau, cette décision a été de jeter par-dessus bord plus de 130 esclaves africains. Ils ont commencé, par les femmes et les enfants qu'ils ont jetés directement à la mer, il y avait un bébé. Ensuite, ils ont sélectionné les hommes les plus malades, un par un, deux par deux, enchaînés, entravés. Après de longs mois passés dans l'enfer de la cale de ce navire négrier, ils ont été jetés à la mer. L'équipage a agi ainsi parce qu'il craignait de manquer d'eau et de ne pas atteindre la Jamaïque à temps. Cette histoire a été révélée au public parce que les armateurs ont demandé une indemnisation pour ce qu'ils ont décrit, dans un déni total d'humanité, comme une « cargaison perdue ». Pouvez-vous nous expliquer ce qui s'est passé ensuite ? Le marchand d'esclaves, le propriétaire du navire, était cupide, il était attaché à son argent. Plus de la moitié des esclaves du Zorg étaient morts, alors que le taux de mortalité habituel sur un navire négrier britannique était d'environ 15%... Il n'a pas pu accepter cette perte. Or, à l'époque, les navires et leur cargaison étaient assurés pour la traversée de l'Atlantique. Il a donc déposé une demande d'indemnisation, en réclamant une compensation pour la perte de plus de 130 esclaves. L'assureur a refusé, parce qu'il était surpris par ce taux de mortalité aussi élevé. Le marchand aurait pu en rester là, mais la cupidité l'a poussé à engager un procès. Il a gagné : il a été décidé que l'assurance devait indemniser la perte des esclaves assassinés. Mais quelqu'un assistait à l'audience ce jour-là et s'est demandé pourquoi on parlait d'assurance plutôt que de meurtre. Il a écrit une lettre anonyme posant cette question, publiée le lendemain dans les journaux londoniens. Cette lettre a été remarquée par un groupe naissant d'abolitionnistes en Angleterre, qui y ont vu la preuve des horreurs de la traite. Ils se sont réunis, sous la direction de Granville Sharp, une figure fondatrice de l'abolitionnisme anglais, et ont convaincu les assureurs de demander un nouveau procès. Lors de ce second procès, une question fondamentale a été débattue : ces Africains étaient-ils des biens ou des personnes ? Des animaux ou des êtres humains ? Ce débat, porté devant le Lord Chief Justice de l'Empire britannique, a contribué à lancer le premier mouvement abolitionniste. L'une des forces de votre travail réside dans la précision avec laquelle vous décrivez l'expérience vécue par les personnes capturées et vendues comme esclaves. L'horreur de l'esclavage est démultipliée par des violences constantes : les coups de fouet, les viols, la vie dans la puanteur des excréments, l'enfermement dans les cales. Pouvez-vous donner quelques exemples tirés de votre livre ? Nous savons ce qu'est l'esclavage, nous en connaissons l'existence, mais nous ne plongeons jamais dans l'horreur brute de la traversée forcée des Africains à travers l'Atlantique. À bord des navires, de nombreux instruments de torture étaient utilisés pour maintenir le contrôle. Les violences sexuelles contre les femmes et les enfants étaient constantes. Un ancien capitaine négrier devenu abolitionniste, John Newton, racontait qu'il voyait ses marins assouvir leurs pulsions sur des fillettes de neuf ou dix ans. Dans les cales, les captifs étaient enchaînés, contraints de vivre dans leurs excréments et leur urine, avec à peine quelques seaux inaccessibles. Tous contractaient la dysenterie. Imaginez le mal de mer, les vomissements continus, sans même pouvoir s'asseoir. Ils étaient entassés comme des livres sur une étagère, dans la chaleur, la putréfaction et les immondices. Voilà pourquoi les taux de mortalité étaient si élevés. La puissance des intérêts financiers liés à la traite apparaît clairement dans votre livre. On a l'impression que la traite occupait une place majeure dans l'économie britannique à la fin du 18e siècle. Absolument. Prenons un indicateur : en 1775, juste avant la guerre d'indépendance américaine, les exportations de sucre de la Jamaïque vers l'Angleterre étaient cinq fois supérieures à l'ensemble des exportations des treize colonies américaines réunies. Le sucre était la ressource stratégique de l'époque, produite grâce au travail forcé des esclaves. Comment évaluez-vous la manière dont le monde traite aujourd'hui la mémoire de l'esclavage ? Existe-t-il une conscience globale de ce que cela a représenté, ou observe-t-on encore des formes de déni ? Nous restons encore à la surface de notre reconnaissance de ce qui s'est passé durant ces 350 années, cette tâche sur la conscience humaine. Il existe encore un certain déni quant à l'ampleur et à la gravité des faits. J'espère que l'histoire du Zorg contribuera à une compréhension plus complète, car on ne peut envisager de réparer cette période sans en mesurer pleinement la violence et l'ampleur. Et nous n'y sommes pas encore. Le 25 mars dernier, le Ghana a conduit l'Assemblée générale de l'ONU à qualifier la traite négrière de crime le plus grave contre l'humanité. Cette qualification vous paraît-elle justifiée et utile ? Absolument. Elle est justifiée. Césaire a déclaré que l'Europe se tient devant la communauté mondiale, responsable du plus grand amas de cadavres de l'histoire humaine. Et il parlait de la traite négrière. Des millions de personnes ont été torturées, violentées et tuées, et des millions d'autres condamnées à une vie de travail forcé. La culture du sucre était l'une des formes de travail les plus dures et violentes. C'est l'un des crimes les plus graves en raison de son ampleur, de sa durée — plus de trois siècles et demi — et de ses conséquences encore visibles aujourd'hui en Afrique. Il doit y avoir une forme de réparation entre les pays du Nord et les pays africains. Le Zorg, de Siddharth Kara, un ouvrage publié aux éditions Paulsen, 304 pages, 2026.

Sean Willers was homeless as a teenager, served in Afghanistan, became an international DJ playing some of the biggest clubs in the world, and then woke up in a hospital bed with no memory of how he got there. That moment didn't just end a night out, it ended an entire identity. In this episode of School of Rock Bottom, we explore what happens when success and self-destruction start to overlap, and the point where you're forced to choose between continuing the cycle or rebuilding everything from scratch.Sean's life moves through homelessness, early alcohol use, military service, the fitness industry, and a high-flying DJ career that gradually became dominated by cocaine and alcohol. What begins as escapism turns into dependency, shaped further by a nightlife culture where excess is normalised and boundaries slowly disappear.He breaks down the pivotal night in 2021 when a set in Nottingham, intended to mark a reset, spiralled into blackout, hospitalisation, and police involvement. That moment became the final breaking point with the music industry and the start of sobriety.From there, the conversation moves beyond the headline of addiction and into the mechanics of recovery itself. Sean challenges the usefulness of labels, questions whether traditional frameworks like AA work for everyone, and argues that long-term change is built less on willpower and more on structure, identity, and discipline.They also explore the often overlooked reality of early recovery: the substitution of one compulsion for another, the role of dopamine-driven behaviours, and the slow process of building stability without relying on extremes for regulation.At its core, this is a conversation about control. Not just stopping drugs and alcohol, but learning how to build a life that no longer requires them.Sean is now a high-performance life and wellness coach, working with people who look like they've got it all together on the outside but know something isn't right underneath, helping them get in shape, quit drinking, and take back control. He has worked with over 500 clients across 15 countries.Oliver is an ambassador for Alcohol Change UK and you can access support here - https://tinyurl.com/5dt5773eThank you to Gavin Sisters for sponsoring this episode!

The first episode of season one of The Pub Crawlers Podcast was recorded in Chester at The Cross Keys pub, as Rob Gutmann hosts James Sutton and Fenner Pearson to discuss what makes a public house truly authentic, first dates in boozers, and more... The Pub Crawlers Podcast represents a quest to find the very best authentic UK pubs, filmed on location inside some of the finest boozers across the UK and Ireland. Well, sort of. It's equally about friends having three to four pint-fuelled, quintessential pub conversations, on any subjects that damn well occur to them, in a range of outstanding boozers across the land. So, really, it's as much about what we get up to in pubs as the pubs themselves. The shows are presented by self-styled boozer connoisseur and long-time pub designer and owner, Rob Gutmann, who is on a mission to find the very best pubs in the UK and to define the essence of the ‘true' pub. Featuring a wide range of guests (mainly Rob's mates), we'll be visiting pubs the length and breadth of the country, bedding into the very best of them, and chatting about our lives lived in and around boozers. The first season of the Pub Crawlers focuses on the North of England, taking in Chester, Sheffield, Manchester, Liverpool, and even a brief foray to the north side of the Midlands in Nottingham.

Nottingham post-punk duo Sleaford Mods have built their career on going against the grain, challenging the British class system, capitalism, and pop culture. They'd tear it all down if they could. Vocalist Jason Williamson and producer Andrew Fearn are known for their relentless streams of expletive-laden takedowns of social and political hypocrisy, but they're also catchy in their own minimalist, not suitable for a workplace way. Sleaford Mods' latest album is called The Demise of Planet X, and they perform some of these danceable and ferocious rants, in-studio. Set list: 1. I Don't Rate you 2. Megaton 3. Elitist G.O.A.T.

Most contractors stay stuck swinging a hammer for 90 hours a week because they never make the jump from operator to owner. Trant, a third-generation carpenter based in Nottingham, New Hampshire, almost did. Then his wife told him they were having a kid, and everything changed.In this episode of the Builders of Authority Podcast, host Adam McChesney sits down with Trant to break down exactly how he went from solo contractor to building a custom deck and outdoor living company on track to hit $20M in annual revenue, and why niching down to decks (instead of being a master of all trades) was the single biggest unlock.What we cover:– Why niching down to decks streamlined his estimating, SOPs, and office operations– The mindset shift from contractor to business owner — and the audiobooks and mentors that drove it– How becoming a dad forced him to build a company that could run without him on every job site– The marketing stack that built the brand: vehicle wraps, Google Ads, Google Business Profile, and targeted neighborhood mailers– Why hiring a virtual assistant was one of the highest-ROI moves he made– His 5-year plan: $20M in revenue and a dedicated outdoor living design center– How to delegate the tasks outside your expertise so you can focus on growth

What does it mean to be human in an age that celebrates the destruction of the sacred? In this timely episode, Ed Stetzer sits down with renowned historian and author Carl Trueman to discuss his latest work, The Desecration of Man. Following the success of The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self, Trueman explores how the rejection of external authority and the ascent of "expressive individualism" have led us to a point where we no longer just ignore meaning—we actively delight in smashing it.From the pervasive influence of technology and AI to the complex ethical landscapes of IVF and surrogacy, Trueman traces the roots of our modern malaise back to thinkers like Rousseau, Freud, and Nietzsche. Together, Ed and Carl wrestle with how the church can offer a "consecrated" alternative, pointing to the Imago Dei as the only stable foundation for human dignity. This is a vital conversation for leaders seeking to navigate a culture that is rapidly reconfiguring the very definition of humanity.ABOUT OUR GUESTCarl Trueman is a theologian, historian, and author known for his work on church history, theology, culture, and the modern self. He serves as a professor at Grove City College and previously taught at Westminster Theological Seminary and the University of Nottingham.Trueman is widely recognized for his thoughtful analysis of contemporary culture through the lens of historic Christianity. His bestselling book The Rise and Triumph of the Modern Self has significantly shaped evangelical discussions about identity, expressive individualism, and cultural change. A frequent conference speaker and commentator, Trueman combines scholarly depth and cultural insight as he helps Christians think carefully about faithfulness and truth in a rapidly changing world.
