He also reveals what role he's planning on taking next and his hopes for the future of the game. Lawrence, Sarra and Steve review the weekend's semi-final wins for Leinster and La Rochelle, who will now come face-to-face in a repeat of last year's European Champions Cup Final.

We tend to think of money as a familiar object that plays a role in our everyday lives. However, when we consider the changing nature of currency in colonial America, money appears differently—as a “social technology for the distribution of value.” Because money allows individuals to represent and share value in direct and visible ways, the transition to the use of paper money in the United States in the eighteenth century supplemented social connections derived from transactions and bolstered economic consumption. In this podcast, historian Simon Middleton from the College of William and Mary discusses how his work participates in interdisciplinary discourses to examine the cultural, legal, and social dimensions of money. His reflections reach into the present moment by considering how the COVID-19 pandemic and previous recessions make us confront the ways that such financial crises are not necessarily a result of a lack of money, but the result of an uneven division and distribution of global value.

This week Simon Middleton looks back at the #RedRoses autumn series. Plus we go inside the @Barbarians_FC camp & talk with their manager, their coach & players. And we have a goody bag of Babas stash to give away; just tweet us your rugby journey.

What makes a great British brand? In this episode I chat to brand guru Simon Middleton about what makes an average brand stand out from an extraordinary one. Simon is my go-to authority on anything to do with creating a brand and telling brand stories - he's been voted one of the world's Top 30 branding professionals, and his book How to Build a Brand in 30 Days is a must-read for anyone who is launching a new business. Simon was the founder of British-made clothing brand Shackleton clothing, which he launched on Kickstarter and grew into a successful business stocked in stores worldwide. He has also advised the Harris Tweed Authority, and many other household names, on brand strategy.

Heartbreak for England as they came so close to a memorable victory over the All Blacks by the finest of margins missing out in the end by a single point.  Alongside Brian Moore to discuss the weekend's trials and jubilations is the 2003 World Cup winner, Neil Back. He says that for the first time that England have two tiers of back row players with no one assured of a starting position. Brian meanwhile believes that these two matches have shown that Owen Farrell needs to be starting at fly half with George Ford coming off the bench, and that three wins must be the aim for England. Zinzan Brooke gives an All Blacks perspective on Saturday's events saying that the better team lost but goes on to predict a 9-11 point victory for his national side against Ireland next weekend.  The former Ireland flanker David Wallace gives his view on a nervy Irish victory over Los Pumas, who should be starting in the back row against New Zealand, and tells us why the home side will not be favourites coming into the weekend. Plus we have Hugo Southwell on Scotland's resounding win over Fiji and Red Roses coach Simon Middleton on his side's thumping 57-5 win over the USA.   Notes To read Lance Corporal Semesa Rokoduguni's story go here  And to vote on your Gallagher Premiership Play of the Month this is the place to go 

My guest on today's programme is Simon Middleton. He was a connection I followed and made through LinkedIn. So imagine my surprise to during our conversation when I discovered that Simon is the author of "Build A Brand In 30 Days" a reference source I regularly use with marketing clients. It is true to say that Simon is in his later years and has had a long and varied career. On leaving education, he trained as a primary school teacher. On qualification, he discovered that teaching was not for him. Moving into public relations, he honed his creativity and writing skill. Then in one of those volte-face moments, he decided to retrain as a Nurse and spend ten years working in the NHS. On leaving the health service in another career shift, he returned to the PR and branding world. It was a time accelerated growth, and his career took off, writing books, speaking at events, running a successful brand consultancy. He did the TV slots. He did the world travel. Moving on again for health reason, Simon relocated to his beloved Suffolk and found inspiration on the beach and in the harbour at Southwold. That inspiration has led to the launch of a new menswear clothing brand. "Blackshore" In our conversation, you can hear us enjoying the journey. We touch on branding, Stories, What is a success, the meaning of life and the reason why TV detectives drive Volvo cars. I hope you enjoy the conversation with Simon Middleton.

With one round to go, Ireland are the 2018 NatWest Six Nations champions!  Back to analyse all the action are Brian Moore and Rob Andrew. After a second successive defeat for England, Brian says it's time to ring the changes, whilst Rob believes England have lost part of their identity. Ireland's Paul Wallace joins to discuss the whether his old side can complete the Grand Slam on Saturday, although the former prop is hesistant that they will succeed. Despite another loss away from Murrayfield, Scotland have turned a corner according to Scott Hastings but they need to be better at game management. Whilst a buoyant Rupert Moon thinks Wales will finish the tournament in second place. We also speak with England Women's coach Simon Middleton after his side's unfortunate last minute loss to France. Plus Nigel Owens breaks down the laws around high tackles.

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the first President of the US, George Washington, and the people and ideas that caused the American Revolution. In 1774 a tobacco farmer from Virginia with nice manners and a quiet lifestyle was moved to put himself forward as the military leader of the most massive rebellion the British Empire had ever suffered. George Washington had been a stout upholder of the status quo, regularly lending money to his ne'r-do-well neighbour simply to keep him in the plantation to which he had become accustomed. He even wrote a book on how to behave properly in polite society.What drove mild mannered George Washington to revolution? Washington may have been a moral man, but by anyone's account he was no scholar, so who provided the intellectual inspiration behind that grandest of Enlightenment documents, the American Constitution. With Carol Berkin, Professor of History at The City University of New York; Simon Middleton, Lecturer in American History at the University of East Anglia; and Colin Bonwick, Professor Emeritus in American History at Keele University.
