In this raw and energising conversation, Katy Cowan is joined by Emma Barratt, global executive creative director at Wolff Olins, to talk about class in the creative industry, imposter syndrome, and the kind of diversity we don't discuss enough. With honesty, grit, and a huge amount of heart, Emma opens up about her working-class roots in Salford, the long road into the design world, and the resilience it took to get to the top. They explore why the industry still has a long way to go when it comes to genuine inclusivity—especially in terms of class and social mobility. Emma talks about how expensive cities like London continue to block access for many talented creatives and how the legacy of connections and privilege often dictates who gets a foot in the door. It's not just about ticking boxes on a diversity form—it's about meaningful, systemic change, and it needs to start at the top. Emma also shares her experience of imposter syndrome and learning to embrace her own voice, even when it didn't fit the mould. From overcoming dyslexia to navigating a male-dominated creative scene, she reflects on what it took to unlearn shame and reclaim pride in her background. We hear how she's now determined to be the mentor she never had—helping others who feel like outsiders realise their worth, whether they're neurodiverse, working class, or just don't see themselves represented. This episode touches on everything from unpaid internships and university barriers to the superpower of growing up without a safety net. Emma doesn't shy away from the difficult truths—but there's also humour, hope, and a rallying cry for change. If you've ever felt like you don't belong, this one's for you. This season is proudly sponsored by the School of Communication Arts.

Shadab Itikhar, a lad from Preston, fell in love with the strategy of football as a child playing Football Manager. He has had a determination to coach - "I was made to manage" - and, since turning up at Wigan Athletic's training ground seeking a meeting with Roberto Martinez he has worked with the Spaniard (at Wigan and Belgium) and has managed himself in England, Scotland, Mongolia, Pakistan, Samoa and now in Bhutan with Thimpu City. His story is a remarkable one of a dream that he has been determined to make happen.This series we are partnering with University Campus of Football Business and have recorded episodes at their Media City studios in Salford and at their studio next to Wembley Stadium. For more information on UCFB visit their website here - https://www.ucfb.ac.uk/You can follow us on our social media @journeyspod on Instagram and Threads and we're still hanging around on X for a while!

During my ultra marathon challenge, one song that kept me going. As I ran, walked and wept from London to Salford, Stargazing by Myles Smith was on repeat. Even when I hit breaking point, that song carried me through and ever since, I've been desperate to sit down with Myles. With his calendar booked until 2027, I feel incredibly lucky we finally made it happen…Myles Smith is an incredible musician and songwriter. In just two years, he's gone from posting songs on TikTok to racking up 25 million streams in a single month, touring with Ed Sheeran and winning the Rising Star BRIT Award. His breakout single, Stargazing, has been streamed over a billion times and was the best-selling British song of 2024.But what struck me most about Myles isn't just his talent, it's his honesty. He's experienced pain, heartbreak and at times, has really struggled to fit in. Yet, he's overcome those challenges to become a musician whose music brings positivity and hope to everyone who hears it. We cover:•⁠ ⁠His first heartbreak aged 11, when his dad walked out•⁠ ⁠The racism he's experienced as an artist for the music he releases•⁠ ⁠How Ed Sheeran gave him the confidence to release his most personal musicThis conversation is a reminder that vulnerability is a strength and that by embracing who we truly are, we create space for others to do the same.You can also follow us on Instagram and Tiktok @greatcompanypodcast and if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Gurlina HeerEditor: Dan KingVideo: Jake Ji & Ryley KirbySocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

Jason Donovan won the hearts of millions alongside Kylie Minogue in the Australian soap Neighbours; then his debut album was the biggest seller of 1989 and he topped the UK singles chart 4 times. In the 1990s he reinvented himself in musical theatre with acclaimed roles in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, Priscilla Queen of the Desert and now he's playing Frank-n-furter in the Rocky Horror Show tour. Its safe to say he knows a thing or two about eye catching costumes, as does Great British Sewing Bee judge and designer to the stars Patrick Grant. His book - Less - is a plea to us to stop buying so much rubbish, buy better, mend more and think about wearing woollen knit swimming costumes or at least cotton running gear. The comedian Sophie McCartney is best known for poking fun at parenting and her viral mum-parody to the tune of Ed Sheeran. But she likes a costume too - thigh high silver boots and leather shorts for her latest show One Foot In the Rave, full of advice on how best to turn 40, how to parent questioning teenagers and say a loud "no thanks" to a midlife crisis. With music from BBC Folk Award winners The Young'Uns and indie-soul singer Mychelle who's supporting Jorja Smith on tour. Presented by Stuart Maconie Produced in Salford by Olive Clancy

Katherine's Telling Everybody Everything about the family trip to Canada for the finale of Got Talent as well as FIVE tour shows in Ottawa, Montreal and Toronto. The fancy children did not enjoy their premium economy experience but some people don't want to see kids in business class anyway. 'A Private Audience with BK' has inspired Katherine and Bobby to never host another party as it's too much at once and a few mums took issue with Violet being left in London to write her GCSE exams. Violet stirred up controversy at home posting her thoughts on Chris Brown being granted a VISA by the British Government just to be arrested at the Lowry Hotel in Salford and held in a Manchester prison (lol).

Coming from a cycling background, Harry talks about how he first started running (the shoe choice will shock you), and he then tells us about how someone from Highgate Harriers convinced him to join them. Sean asks about the move from Highgate Harriers to Salford being a "step up" and Harry shows why it was. With not many middle distance runners on the podcast, we ask Harry about how you'd encourage people to try it out. The use of the phrase "lactic sniper" didn't convince some of the team. With the coaching set up at Salford being so good, Harry tells us about his training and usual training structure. He talks about breaking 4min for the mile as well and how he thought it didn't happen. With a busy professional career, Harry tells us about a health scare and how he manages running and work to get the best out of both.

Ophira has a story for you — one about Frank Evans, the 81-year-old Salford-born matador who now splits his time between Seville and Worsley like it's the most natural thing in the world. Yes, that's right: matador. While the city proudly boasts of luring the BBC up north, appearing behind the Smiths in That Photo, and producing Paul Scholes' right foot — somehow, Frank slips through the net. But this is a man who traded Eccles cakes for cape work, and against all odds became one of the only Brits to ever rise to bullfighting's top tier. Hosted on Acast.

Reel Britannia - a very British podcast about very British movies...with just a hint of professionalism.     This week, more classic British kitchen sink drama with the tale of Jo,  a bold working-class teen who  discovers strength in unexpected places. After a brief romance leaves her pregnant, she bonds with Geoff, a kind gay art student. Together, they challenge conventions, showing the power of love, resilience, and humanity in the face of social prejudice.     Episode 165 - A Taste of Honey (1961)   All episodes at: https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/reelbritannia         A Taste of Honey (1961), directed by Tony Richardson, is a groundbreaking British film that explores themes of poverty, identity, and unconventional relationships. Adapted from Shelagh Delaney's play, it is a cornerstone of the "kitchen sink realism" movement, portraying working-class life with raw honesty.   The story follows Jo, a spirited yet vulnerable teenager living in a grimy Salford flat with her neglectful, self-absorbed mother, Helen. Their strained relationship is marked by Helen's pursuit of men and alcohol, leaving Jo to fend for herself emotionally and materially. When Helen marries her wealthy but boorish suitor, Peter, Jo is left alone and begins a tender romance with Jimmy, a black sailor.   Their fleeting relationship results in Jo's pregnancy, but Jimmy departs, leaving her to face an uncertain future. Jo finds solace in Geoffrey, a kind-hearted gay man who becomes her roommate and surrogate family. Together, they create a fragile sense of stability, defying societal norms. However, Helen's return disrupts their fragile harmony, forcing Jo to confront her fears and independence.   With gritty cinematography and a poignant jazz score, A Taste of Honey captures the struggles and resilience of its characters, offering a compassionate yet unflinching look at marginalized lives in post-war Britain.   "Look at that. It's dead. A bit of love, a bit of lust, and there you are. We don't ask for life. We have it thrust upon us."   This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @rbritanniapod    Thanks for listening Scott and Steven

For this episode we're joined by veteran music scribe Phil Sutcliffe to discuss his years on Sounds, Q and MOJO. We start by hearing about our guest's Beatles-obsessed adolescence in the North London suburb of Barnet, then follow him up to Manchester University and his subsequent apprenticeship on the Newcastle Evening Chronicle. Phil explains how he got his foot in the door at Sounds in 1974, initially reviewing gigs on Tyneside before moving back to London to become one of the weekly magazine's key '70s writers. We discuss the paper's transition from Gentle Giant and Back Street Crawler to the Damned and the Sex Pistols — and to the interviews Phil did with County Durham punks Penetration and beloved Salford bard John Cooper Clarke.  From JCC's visit to the Oxford Poetry Festival in 1980, we turn our attention to the week's featured act — politicised post-punks Gang of Four — and thence to the more controversially reactionary Eric Clapton. Clips from John Hutchinson's 1981 audio interview with the guitar "God" prompt conversation about his musical evolution and the infamous 1976 outburst that inspired the launch of Rock Against Racism. After Mark quotes from newly-added library pieces about Joe Harriott (1964), Miles Davis (1969) and Al Green (1973), Jasper takes us out with his thoughts on articles about Courtney Love (1991), Snoop Dogg (2003) and Cardi B (2019). Please note that this episode was recorded before we learned of the very sad passings of former Gang Of Four bassist Dave Allen and Malian superstar Amadou Bagayoko — along with Phil Sutcliffe's fellow Sounds contributor Sandy Robertson. Many thanks to special guest Phil Sutcliffe. Pieces discussed: The Beatles: I Was A Beatlemaniac, Penetration: Anarchy In County Durham, The Bard Of Beasley Street At The Seat Of Learning, Gang of Four: Dialectics Meet Disco, Gang Of Four: The Revolution Lightens Up, Andy Gill meets Andy Gill, Eric Clapton audio, Eric Clapton: Out of the Darkness, Joe Harriott: Jazz Abstractionist, Miles Davis: In a Silent Way, Hole: Calling the Tune, Snoop Dogg and Welcome to the Cardi Party.

Loose Ends this week is all about finding the light. Poet, performer and broadcaster Michael Rosen is touring a one man show making sense of some of the darker moments of his life. Dylan Jones was the editor of era-defining magazines like i-D, Arena and British GQ in the 1990s and noughties. Now his memoir, These Foolish Things - tells how he left behind a difficult childhood to embrace a career that encompasses hobnobbing with celebrities from Elton John to Tracey Emin, taking phone calls from David Bowie and recommending a tailor to Gordon Brown. There's dark themes too to the Texan comedian Kemah Bob's new show Miss Fortunate which tells the story of a disastrous solo trip to Thailand. It was hailed as "chest-achingly funny" and "charismatic" by the critics and won her a Best Newcomer nomination at Edinburgh Festival Last year. The actress Barbara Flynn knows how to pick her projects, appearing in Cracker, Cranford and now the BBC's hit drama Beyond Paradise where cosy crime meets health concerns, heated relationships and family niggles. With music by the winner of Channel 4's talent show The Piano Brad Kella, who is about to tour with Take That's Gary Barlow and the folk singer and protest song writer Grace Petrie.Presented by Stuart Maconie Produced in Salford by Olive Clancy

If being anxious means you are less than, defective, doing it wrong, or that you are at fault for not being able to control or stop your anxiety, you may be struggling to move forward in recovery. If you feel that being an anxious person is proof that you are unworthy or defective, or if you feel that you are bringing it all on yourself because you do not deserve a better life, you may be struggling with self-compassion. This is one of the primary obstacles to improvement when addressing an anxiety disorder. The inability to treat oneself with kindness or access feelings of self worth or self love really gets in the way of learning the lessons that facing our fears bring us. It leaves many in our community feeling stuck - and feeling even less worthy or capable! Dr. Elaine Beaumont is one of the leading voices in the field of Compassion Focused Therapy. We were fortunate to have her stop by and chat with us about the role of compassion self-compassion in the recovery process. If you see yourself in a negative light and that's getting in the way of your recovery, this episode might be for you. --- Dr Elaine Beaumont is a cognitive behavioural psychotherapist, compassion focused therapist and Europe-approved eye movement desensitisation and reprocessing practitioner.

In the early hours of December 11, 2017, the small, tight-knit community of Walkden, Salford, was thrust into the heart of a nightmare that would forever scar its residents. It was just after 5 a.m. when Michelle Pearson, a single mother of five, dialed emergency services. Desperate and trembling, her voice cut through the static as fire and rescue teams scrambled to the scene, racing against time. Flames already consumed the house. Neighbors watched helplessly as the fire raged. Inside, Michelle's family was trapped. Michelle was a mother to five children: 17-year-old Kyle, 15-year-old Demi,8-year-old Brandon, 7-year-old Lacie, and the youngest, 3-year-old Lia. Michelle was their protector and rock. But on this fateful morning, she was about to find herself in a battle for their lives, a battle she would lose.Join Jen and Cam of Our True Crime Podcast on this episode entitled ‘Revenge and Ruin: The Pearson Family Arson.'Listener discretion by @octoberpodVHSMusic and Editing courtesy of @theinkypawprintPromo by our own @rett1214 and her new podcast Mystery, History and Crime. Sources:https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-manchester-56829229https://www.gmp.police.uk/news/greater-manchester/news/news/2021/april/trio-jailed-for-mothers-death-following-2017-petrol-bomb-attack/https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2019/aug/26/michelle-pearson-mother-of-four-children-killed-in-2017-house-fire-dies-salfordhttps://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/michelle-pearson-walkden-bolland-worrall-20435550https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9495581/Judge-jails-cowardly-monsters-life-murdered-mother-four-young-children.htmlhttps://www.itv.com/news/granada/2021-03-30/walkden-fire-zak-bolland-and-david-worrall-found-guilty-of-murdering-michelle-pearson-in-fire-that-killed-four-childrenhttps://news.sky.com/story/mum-michelle-pearson-told-all-her-four-children-died-in-december-fire-11346054https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/heartbroken-mum-spent-final-months-23954952https://www.amazon.com/Killers-Caught-On-Camera/dp/B0DBDHM2HZhttps://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/24768140.inquest-deaths-michelle-pearson-four-children-go-ahead/https://www.theboltonnews.co.uk/news/19166189.happened-son-gives-evidence-murder-trial-death-tragic-mum-michelle-pearson-died-house-fire/https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9495581/Judge-jails-cowardly-monsters-life-murdered-mother-four-young-children.html
