Ever since Franz Anton Mesmer induced trance-like states in his Parisian subjects in the late eighteenth century, dressed in long purple robes, hypnosis has been associated with performance, power and the occult.  It has exerted a powerful hold over the cultural imagination, featuring in novels and films including Bram Stoker's Dracula and George du Maurier's Trilby - and it was even practiced by Charles Dickens himself.But despite some debate within the medical establishment about the scientific validity of hypnosis, it continues to be used today as a successful treatment for physical and psychological conditions. Scientists are also using hypnosis to learn more about the power of suggestion and belief.

Jim Daly is perhaps the quintessential Ultimate XI manager - expert football knowledge, the wry wit of a fan coupled with a razor sharp comedian's brain, and packaged up into a broadcast and podcast legend; all this melds to create a beautiful side and give Crystal Palace fans another incredible achievement to celebrate this year. Parts of the comedian's team are pure poetry, full of guile and grace, but also balancing the South London club's tradition for grit and endeavour. Not bad for a manager who took 15 minutes to pick a goalkeeper...

Send us a textIn this episode we take a  deep-dive into Britain's underground festival counterculture with filmmaker Aaron Trinder, creator of the groundbreaking documentary "Free Party: A Folk History." Aaron reveals how the free festival culture of the 60s and 70s collided with the explosive rave scene of the late 80s and 90s, creating a movement so powerful that the government literally rewrote the law to stop it. From the legendary Castlemorton Common Festival of 1992 - a 50,000-strong gathering that triggered the Criminal Justice Act - to the chaotic Spiral Tribe NYE party at the Roundhouse, Aaron shares stories from the frontlines of cultural warfare and his 7-year DIY odyssey to preserve these forgotten histories.Aaron's grassroots filmmaking journey, battling music licensing and mainstream media, mirrors the same DIY spirit that built the free party movement. Shaped by childhood experiences in West London squats and punk venues, he brings an insider's perspective that no academic could replicate. The film explores how the Criminal Justice Act wasn't just about noise complaints but was a direct assault on the radical idea that people could gather freely without corporate or state control."This film is a unique look at a much-underrepresented moment in cultural history. It was the last great unifying youth movement before the digital age, one that challenged the authorities, connected environmental awareness with music, and questioned laws on land rights and trespass. With new laws criminalising trespass and protest across Europe, the story is more relevant than ever."Director - Aaron TrinderLinks to show your supporthttps://youtu.be/YGy_lDDqO9E?si=5iZLuBeaApQvH4nAhttps://freepartydoc.info/https://www.instagram.com/freepartydocumentary/https://www.facebook.com/aaron.trinder.5/https://alanlodge.co.uk/https://www.instagram.com/tashukSupport the showhttps://www.youtube.com/@ControlledWeirdnesshttps://open.spotify.com/artist/20nC7cQni8ZrvRC2REZjOIhttps://www.instagram.com/controlledweirdness/https://controlledweirdness.bandcamp.com/Theme song is Controlled Weirdness - Drifting in the Streetshttps://open.spotify.com/track/7GJfmYy4RjMyLIg9nffuktHosted from a South London tower block by Neil Keating aka Controlled Weirdness.

Today, we're speaking to Dr Jamie Scuffell, GP and NIHR In Practice Fellow at King's College London.Title of paper: Patterns in GP Appointment Systems: a cluster analysis of 3480 English practicesAvailable at: https://doi.org/10.3399/BJGP.2024.0556GP practices in the UK are using a wide range of different appointment systems to meet patient demand and improve access. This cluster analysis of NHS appointment data from 56 million appointments and 3480 English practices demonstrates two predominant models of primary care delivery. ‘Same day' practices tend to fulfil appointments on the same day using GP telephone consultations. ‘Routine care' practices tend to employ non-GP staff members offering face-to-face appointments and longer appointment wait times. ‘Same day' care practices had younger and more urban populations. Episode transcriptThis transcript was generated using AI and has not been reviewed for accuracy. Please be aware it may contain errors or omissions.Speaker A00:00:00.640 - 00:00:54.360Hello and welcome to BJGP Interviews. I'm Nada Khan and I'm one of the Associate Editors of the bjgp. Thanks for listening to this podcast today. In today's episode, we're speaking to Dr.Jamie Scuffle, who is a GP in South London and an NIHR In Practice Fellow at King's College London. We're here to talk about a really topical issue in his new paper here in the bjgp.The paper is called Paper Patterns in GP Appointment A cluster analysis of 3,480 English practices.So, hi, Jamie, it's really great to meet you and talk about this work, I guess, really just to start, as you point out in this paper, each practice has their own systems and strategies to manage appointment booking. But how do you think that this impacts on access and patient appointment booking in each practice?Speaker B00:00:55.000 - 00:02:17.300Yeah, it's interesting because I think, as you say, appointment systems have developed even further, really, since COVID and we've ended up with this a quite interesting diverse range of implementing appointments across the country, across England at least.And I suppose the things that have changed are, you know, if you phone up a practice now, actually, you might not even phone them up, you might submit an online consult, you might be triaged, you might see not a gp, but a range of other professionals as well. And also it might not be done face to face, it might be done by telephone or online.In fact, there's a new appointment system range of things that have happened across England, and actually there's some evidence that that might relate to access in some ways. So we know lots of people who don't speak English struggle to navigate that system of getting an appointment, for example.And we also know from the qualitative evidence that there's some digital exclusion as well with appointments. So, yeah, so I think there's lots of issues with access and how that relates to appointment systems.And so far what we've done is looked at components of the appointment system and how that then affects access. But what we haven't really done much of is looking at the appointment system as a whole and how that might affect access.Speaker A00:02:18.180 - 00:02:33.200Yeah.So in this study, you wanted to look at patterns of primary care delivery in English GP practices, and you used this Appointments in General Practice data set. Can you tell us just briefly what's available in this data and what you were looking at here?Speaker B00:02:33.360 - 00:03:20.700It's a tremendous data set and I think could be very useful. So...

#DreLondon sits down with Detavio to share his incredible journey from the projects in South London to becoming #PostMalone's manager and building his own tequila brand. He talks about coming to America as an immigrant, sleeping on couches, and going 18 months without buying anything to save money. Dre explains how he connected #FrenchMontana with producer Harry Fraud but learned the hard way about getting proper paperwork when deals go down. He shares the real story of discovering Post Malone in a house full of gamers in LA and why he stepped back from managing to focus on building generational wealth.

A YOUNG British woman is in a Sri Lankan jail, accused of trying to smuggle a disturbing new drug called kush into the country.   Kush comes from West Africa, where it's reportedly the cause of about a dozen overdose deaths a week in Sierra Leone. It's made of synthetic cannabis, opioids—and, reportedly, ground human bone. The accused woman, 21-year-old Charlotte May of South London, was stopped at the airport in Colombo, Sri Lanka with 100 pounds of kush in her luggage with a street value of about $3.3 million. May claims she doesn't know how it got into her bags. We make no judgment on Ms. May; it's possible she was an unwitting drug mule. What's disturbing about this story is that human bones are reportedly incorporated into this drug, and that it's apparently being shipped around the world. We also discuss a recent case from South Africa, where a woman and two accomplices were sentenced to life in prison this week for selling her then-6-year-old daughter for $1,100 last year to a traditional healer who wanted to harvest the girl's skin and eyes—green, a relative rarity in South Africa—for ritual purposes. The world is returning to pre-Christian paganism at the same time it's drawing closer to World War 3. Early this week, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz declared that the US, UK, and Germany has removed all restrictions on how weapons supplied to Ukraine can be used in NATO's proxy war with Russia. This has not been confirmed by the United States or United Kingdom, and even Germany's own Defense Ministry has not confirmed the change in how its missiles can be used. However, it seems that Europe's Big Three—Germany, France, and the UK—are bound and determined to provoke open war with Russia, and top drag the United States into it whether the American people want it or not.  In our view, this is the work of principalities and powers behind the scenes trying to set the stage for the emergence of a false savior, the Antichrist. Also: Emanuel Macron publicly emasculated by his wife; rewilding the Western US costing cattle ranchers; and happy birthday to Pat Boone and Clint Eastwood.

Medicine 8 are back. The project of brothers Liam and Luke May started around 30 years ago in their South London stomping ground. Their sound, which blended electro and acid house with rock sensibilities, saw the pair release a healthy string of records all the way through to the late noughties, along with a handful of remixes for the likes of Orbital, Manic Street Preachers, Nirvana and pop royalty Kylie Minogue. Medicine 8 has been lying dormant over the last decade but Liam and Luke have been keeping themselves busy in the interim. As well as running Trashmouth Records - the label responsible for bringing you Fat White Family, MEATRAFFLE and Warmduscher - the pair have been keeping the hardware dream alive with Decius, the sleazy acid house outfit they founded alongside Paranoid London's Quinn Whalley and Lias Saudi, long running label mate and frontman of the Fat Whites. In April the duo marked their first new music since 2016 with a remix of May Lavie's ‘The Poem' for our R$N sub-label Human Endeavour. The request from label boss Rosie Ama has now jerked the project back into action and, since the release of the remix, the pair have got back in the studio under the moniker and are now giving Decius tracks a Medicine 8 make over. Looks like this won't be the last we'll be seeing of the project… To celebrate this triumphant return, boy have we got a treat for you. Luke and Liam have kindly put together a two-hour long 100% Medicine 8 production mix, packed with tracks from the archive, unreleased music, banging remixes and new releases...

pWotD Episode 2937: Crystal Palace F.C. Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 232,959 views on Saturday, 17 May 2025 our article of the day is Crystal Palace F.C..Crystal Palace Football Club, commonly referred to as Crystal Palace or simply Palace, is a professional football club based in Selhurst, South London, England, which competes in the Premier League, the top-tier of English football. The club was formally created as a professional outfit in 1905 at the Crystal Palace exhibition building, but its origins can be traced back to 1861. The club used the FA Cup final stadium inside the exhibition grounds for their home games between 1905 and 1915, when they were forced to leave due to the outbreak of the First World War. In 1924, they moved to their current home at Selhurst Park.Crystal Palace spent their early years as a professional club playing in the Southern League. They were elected to the Football League in 1920, and have mainly competed in the top two tiers of English football during their league history. Since 1964, Palace have only dropped below the second tier once, for three seasons between 1974 and 1977. They reached the 1990 FA Cup final and challenged Arsenal and Liverpool for the English league title in 1990–91, finishing in third place, the club's highest league finish to date, and only missed out on UEFA Cup qualification due to a ban on English clubs.The club were founder members of the inaugural Premier League in 1992–93, though they were relegated that season, as well as facing immediate relegations in 1994–95, 1997–98, and 2004–05. They were promoted to the Premier League once again in 2013 and have remained there ever since, achieving a record-extending thirteenth consecutive top-flight season as of 2025–26, as well as reaching two more FA Cup finals in 2016 and 2025, with victory in the latter final resulting in the club's first major trophy in its history. The club's kit colours were claret and blue until 1973, when they changed to the red and blue vertical stripes worn today. Palace have a long-standing and fierce rivalry with Brighton & Hove Albion that emerged in the 1970s, as well as sharing strong rivalries with local clubs Millwall and Charlton Athletic.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 03:25 UTC on Sunday, 18 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Crystal Palace F.C. 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 neural Niamh.

In this episode of Behind the Genes, we explore the hopes, concerns and complex questions raised by the idea of a lifetime genome — a single genomic record used across a person's life to guide healthcare decisions. Drawing on conversations from Genomics England's Public Standing Group on the lifetime genome, our guests explore what it might mean for individuals, families and society to have their genome stored from birth, and how it could transform healthcare. The discussion reflects on the potential for earlier diagnoses, better treatments and long-term prevention, alongside pressing ethical concerns such as data security, consent, and the impact on family dynamics. Participants share their views and discuss the future role of genomic data in medicine, with insights into how trust, equity and public dialogue must shape this evolving field. Our host for this episode, Dr Harriet Etheredge, is joined by Suzalee Blair-Gordon and Gordon Bedford, two members of the Genomics England's Public Standing Group on the lifetime genome, and Suzannah Kinsella, Senior Associate at Hopkins Van Mil, a social sciences research agency that helped to facilitate this work. Together, they consider the broader societal implications of lifetime genomic data, and how public involvement can help guide policy and practice in the UK and beyond. This conversation is part of our ongoing work through the Generation Study, exploring how genomics can be used responsibly and meaningfully from birth onwards. You can listen to some of our Generation Study episodes by following the links below. What can we learn from the Generation Study? How has design research shaped the Generation Study? What do parents want to know about the Generation Study?   "This isn't just a science project, it's about designing a future where everyone feels included and protected. We need more voices, parents, young people, underrepresented communities, to keep shaping it in the right direction."   You can download the transcript, or read it below. Harriet: Welcome to Behind the Genes. Suzalee: I have come to terms with the thought that life is unpredictable and I have already begun to accept any health condition that comes my way. Believe you me, I have been through the stage of denial, and yes, I have frozen upon hearing health diagnoses in the past but now I believe that I am a bit wiser to accept the things that I cannot change and to prepare to face the symptoms of whatever illness I am to be dealt with or to be dealt to me. If the analysis of my genome can help me to prepare, then yes, I am going to welcome this programme with open arms.  Harriet: My name is Harriet Etheredge, and I am the Ethics Lead on the Newborn Genomes Programme here at Genomic England. On today's episode I'm joined by 3 really special guests, Suzalee Blair and Gordon Bedford, who are members of Genomics England's Public Standing Group on Lifetime Genomes, and Suzannah Kinsella, Senior Associate at Hopkins Van Mil, a social sciences research agency that has helped us to facilitate this work.  Today we'll be discussing the concept of the lifetime genome. What do we mean when we say, ‘lifetime genome'? How can we realise the promise of the lifetime genome to benefit people's healthcare whilst at the same time really appreciating and understanding the very real risks associated? How do we collectively navigate ethical issues emerging at this genomic frontier? If you enjoy today's episode, we would really love your support. Please share, like and give us a 5-star rating wherever you listen to your podcasts. And if there's a guest that you'd love to hear on a future episode of Behind the Genes, please contact us on podcast@genomicsengland.co.uk. Let's get on with the show. I'll start off by asking our guests to please introduce yourselves.  Suzalee, over to you.  Suzalee: Thanks, Harriet. So I am a proud mum of two kids, teacher of computing at one of the best academic trusts in the UK, and I am also a sickler, and for those who don't know what that means, I am living with sickle cell disease.  Harriet: Thank you so much, Suzalee. Gordon, over to you.  Gordon: I'm Gordon Bedford, I'm a pharmacist based in The Midlands. I've worked in hospital and community pharmacy. I have a genetic condition, which I won't disclose on the podcast but that was my sort of position coming into this as I'm not a parent of children, but it was coming in from my perspective as a pharmacist professional and as a member of society as well.  Harriet: Thank you so much, Gordon. And, last but certainly not least, Suzannah.  Suzannah: So, yes, Suzannah Kinsella. I am a social researcher at Hopkins Van Mil, and I had the pleasure of facilitating all of the workshops where we gathered together the Public Standing Group and working on reporting the outcome from our discussions, so delighted to be coming in from South London. Harriet: Thank you so much, everyone, and it's such a pleasure to have you here today. So, many regular listeners to Behind the Genes will now that Genomics England is currently undertaking the Generation Study. I'm not going to speak about it in much detail because the Generation Study has already been the subject of several Behind the Genes podcasts and we'll put some links to these in the show notes for this episode. But briefly, the Generation Study aims to analyse whole genomes of 100,000 newborn babies across England, looking for 250 rare conditions. We have a view to getting these children onto treatments earlier and potentially enhancing their lives.  The Generation Study is a research project because we don't know if the application of this technology will work. And as a research project we can also answer other important questions, such as questions about a lifetime genome. When we invite parents to consent to the Generation Study on behalf of their newborn babies, we ask to store babies' genomic data and linked healthcare data in our trusted research environment.  This helps us to further research into genes and health. But a critical question is ‘what do we do with these data long term?' And one of the potential long-term uses of the data is to revisit it and re-analyse it over a person's lifetime.  We could do this at critical transition points in life, like adolescence, early adulthood or older age, with the aim of using the genomic data to really enhance people's health. But this is a very new concept. There's been little work on it internationally, however I am pleased to say that interest seems to be picking up. In the Generation Study, whilst we are at the present time doing no lifetime genomes work, we are looking to explore the benefits, risks and potential uses of the lifetime genome.  This Public Standing Group on lifetime genomes was our first foray into this area.  So, I'd like to start off by inviting Suzannah to please explain a bit more about what the Public Standing Group is, why it was created and how a group like this helps us to generate early deliberation and insight.  Suzannah: So, the first thing I should talk about is who were these 26 people that formed part of this group, and the first thing to say is that they were a wide range of ages and backgrounds from across England, so some from Newcastle, some from London and everywhere in between. And these 26 people all had one thing in common, which is they had all taken part in a previous Genomics England public dialogue, either the whole genome sequencing for newborn screening which took place in 2021, or in a more recent one in about 2022/23 which was looking at what should Genomics England think about in terms of research access to data that's drawn from the Generation Study. So, the great thing was that everybody had already some previous knowledge around genomics, but the concept of a lifetime genome was completely new. So these 26 people met on 5 occasions over the period of 2024, mostly meeting face to face, and really the task that they were given was to look at the lifetime genome and look at it from every angle; consent, use, information sharing and all sorts of other aspects as well. Harriet: Gordon and Suzalee, you were participants in our Public Standing Group, I'd love to hear from you what your roles in the Standing Group were and what you found most interesting, but also for you which bits were the most challenging. Suzalee, shall we start with you? Suzalee: For me the most interesting bits were being able to learn about one's genome and, through Genomics England and their possible use of pharmacogenetics, could determine the specific medication that could be prescribed for a new health condition instead of expensive and possibly tonnes of adverse side effects trial and error medications. Additionally, as a person living with sickle cell disease, I got the chance to share my story and to give voice to people living with the same condition or similar to myself, and how the potential of the genomics newborn programme could help our future generation. There were some tricky bits, and the most challenging bit was to initially discuss and think about the idea of whether or not a parent might choose to know or not to know the potential of their newborn developing or prone to develop a certain condition based on the data received from the programme. My thought went back to when I gave birth to my first child 16 years ago and I was adamant to know if my child would inherit the sickle cell disease, what type, if it would be the trait. In my mind I knew the result, as my haemoglobin is SC and their dad is normal, but I wanted to be sure of my child's specific trait. But then I asked myself, “What if my child was part of the Newborn Genomes Programme, then the possibility exists that other health conditions could be detected through the deep analysis of my child's genome. Would I really want to know then? What would be the psychological effect or, in some cases, the social impact of what I have to learn?” Harriet: Thank you so much, Suzalee. And I think it's just wonderful to hear about the personal impacts that this kind of work can have and thank you for bringing that to us.  Gordon, I'll hand over to you. I'd be really interested in your thoughts on this. Gordon: So my role in the Public Standing Group was to give my section of society my experiences in life to bring them together with other people, so experiences like Suzalee and the 24 other people that joined us on the study, to bring our opinions together, to bring our wide knowledge and group experiences of life. And it's important to have a wide group, because it forces us to wrestle with differences of opinion. Not everybody thinks like I do.  As a pharmacist, I can see the practical side of genomics, like pharmacogenomics, where we could use a baby's genome to predict how they'll respond to drugs over their lifetime. That's a game-changer for avoiding adverse reactions or ineffective treatments, but not everybody's sold on it. Some in our group worried about privacy, who gets this data, or ethics, like whether it's fair to sequence a baby who can't say yes or no. I get that. I don't have children, but I hear those things clearly. The most interesting bits for me, the pharmacogenomics discussion in meeting two stood out, everyone could see the tangible benefits of tailoring medicines to a person's genome, making treatments more effective, and in Meeting 5 designing our own lifetime genome resource was also fascinating. Ideas like it for public health research showed how far-reaching this could be. Some of the challenging sides of things that I came across, the toughest part was grappling with unknowns in Meeting 4, like how to share genetic info with your family without damaging relationships. Those risks felt real, and it was hard to balance them against the benefits, especially when trust from groups like minority ethnic communities is at stake. Harriet: Thank you so much, Gordon. I think from you and Suzalee it's so fascinating to hear how you were grappling, I think, with some of your personal and professional feelings about this and your deeply-held personal views and bringing those first of all out into the open, which is something that is very brave and we really respect and admire you doing that, and also then understanding that people do hold very different views about these issues. And that's why bring these issues to an engagement forum because it's important for us to hear those views and to really understand how people are considering these really tricky ethical issues. So, Suzalee, I'm wondering from your perspective how do you feel we can really be respectful towards other people's points of view? Suzalee: Yes, Harriet. In spite of the fact that we had different viewpoints on some topics discussed, every member, researcher, presenter and guests were respectful of each other's point of view. We all listened to each other with keen eyes, or sometime squinted eyes, with a hand on the chin which showed that what was being said was being processed or interpreted. All our views were recorded by our researchers for further discussion and analysis, therefore I felt heard, and I believe we all felt heard.  Harriet: Do you have any examples that you can recall from the groups where there were differing points of view and how we navigated those? Gordon: Where we had screening at age 5, but we agreed on an opt-out model, because it could help spot issues early. But some worried - psychological impacts, knowing too much too soon. But we looked at an opt-out model rather than an opt-in model because it's easier to say to somebody, “If you don't want to continue with this, opt out” rather than trying to get everybody opting in at every different age range. So, as we reach the age of 5, 10, 15, 20, whatever, it's easier to get people to opt out if they no longer want to be part of that rather than trying to get them to opt in at each stage throughout their life. Harriet: Suzannah, do you have anything to add there as a facilitator? How did you feel about bringing these different points of view together? Suzannah: Yeah, you asked about where are the tensions, where do people maybe agree a bit less or agree and hold different views, and I think what stands out is particularly…  There was an idea floated by one of the speakers about you could have your DNA data on an NHS app and then, let's say if you're in an emergency, a paramedic could have access to it or others. And that really I think brought out quite a wide range of perspectives of some in the group feeling, “You know what, anyone who has an interest, anyone that can help my health, let them have access to it as and when, completely fine,” and others took a more cautious approach saying, “This is my DNA, this is who I am, this is unique to me, my goodness, if someone, some rogue agent manages to crash the system and get hold if it goodness knows what nightmare scenario it could result in,” and so had a much more keep it locked down, keep it very limited approach to having access to your lifetime genome data and so on. So that was a really interesting example of people going, “Yep, make it free” and others going, “No, just for very specific NHS roles,” which I thought was fascinating. Harriet: Yeah, thank you so much, Suzannah. And I think it's a real tangible challenge that those of us working in this area are trying to grapple with, is finding the middle ground here with all of the challenges that this involves, for instance, our data infrastructure and the locations at which data are held.

Harriet: I think this brings us really nicely onto looking at some of the ethical, legal and social issues that we need to think through when we're considering the lifetime genome.  I'm wondering if we can expand on some of these and the importance of addressing them. Gordon, would you like to give us your thoughts? Gordon: Sure, thank you. Our job was to dig into how a baby's genome could be used over the lifetime, think pharmacogenetics for better drugs, early childhood screening for conditions or carrier testing to inform family planning. We saw huge potential for individual health like catching diseases early, but also broader impacts like reducing NHS costs through prevention. Weighing the risks and benefits. The benefits like earlier diagnosis or research breakthroughs grew clearer over time with ratings rising from 4.1 to 4.7 - that's out of, I believe, a figure of 5, but risks like data breaches and family tensions over shared genetics stayed significant. We agreed the benefits could outweigh the risks but only with mitigations like transparent governance and strong security. And what are the global implications moving forward? What we discussed isn't just for the UK, it's feeding into the global conversation about newborns in genomic research. That responsibility made us think hard about equity, access, and how to build public trust. Harriet: Thank you, Gordon, I think there's so much there to unpack. And one point I think in particular that you've mentioned, and this came out really strongly as one of our main findings from these groups, was the way that a lifetime genome and the way that we might deliver that information could really impact family dynamics in ways that we might not have really thought of before or in ways that we really have to unpack further. And, Suzalee, I'd love to hear from you about this, how might diverse family dynamics need to be considered? Suzalee: Harriet, as it relates to diverse family dynamics a burning legal issue, which is then triangulated into being considered an ethical issue as well as a social issue, was the question can siblings of sperm donors be informed of life-threatening genomic discoveries? Whose responsibility is it? Will policies now have to be changed or implemented by donor banks to take into consideration the possibility of families being part of the new genomes programme? Harriet: Yeah, thank you, Suzalee. I think there's so much there that we have to unpack and in the Generation Study we're starting to look at some of those questions, but going forward into potential risks, benefits and uses of the lifetime genome, all of these new technologies around human reproduction are things that we're going to have to consider really, really carefully through an ethical and legal lens. Suzannah, I wondered if you have anything to add to these as major ethical issues that came out in these groups. Suzannah: I think, as you say, people were so fascinated by the idea of this information landing in a family, and where do you stop? Do you stop at your siblings, your direct family, the brothers and sisters of a child?  Do you go to the cousins?  Do you go to the second cousins?  It's this idea of where does family stop. And then people were really interested in thinking about who does the telling, whose job is it? And we had this fascinating conversation – I think it was in Workshop 3 – where this very stark fact was shared, which is the NHS doesn't know who your mother or your father or your siblings are; your NHS records are not linked in that way. And so that presented people with this challenge or concern that “Actually, if I get quite a serious genetic condition diagnosed in my family whose job is it to share that information, what support is there to do that and how far do we go?”  So, I think people were really fascinated and hopeful that Genomics England will really be at the vanguard of saying, “How do we as we move into an era of more genetic data being used in our healthcare, how's that managed and how's it shared?” Harriet: Yeah, thank you so much, Suzannah. So I think that what's coming out through everything that you're all saying is the huge breadth of issues that came up here. And of course we're seeing, very encouragingly, so many nods to the potential benefits, especially around things like pharmacogenomics, but we are seeing some risks.  Gordon, I wondered if you'd like to elaborate a bit further. Gordon: So, something that came up, and it divided the group quite considerably, carrier status divided us. Some saw it as reducing disease prevalence and others feared it could fuel anxiety or stigma amongst the family or other families. It showed how personal these choices are and why families need control over what they learn. Harriet: Yeah, it's a very good point, and carrier status is something that could be a conceivable use of our lifetime genome record. Suzannah? Suzannah: Just building off what Gordon was talking about, I remember there were also discussions around are we getting into a state where this is about eradication of so many different conditions, and actually how does that sit with a society that is more embracing, accommodating and supportive of people with different health needs. So, I think that was quite a big ethical discussion that was had, is, and particularly where we think about what we screen for in the future over time and so forth, people really being conscious that “Actually, where are we going with this? Are we risking demonising certain conditions and saying we don't want them on the planet anymore and what are the consequences of that?” Advert: If you're enjoying what you've heard today and you'd like to hear some more great tales from the genomics coalface, why don't you join us on the Road to Genome podcast, where our host, Helen Bethell, chats to the professionals, experts and patients involved in genomics today. In our new series, Helen talks to a fantastic array of guests including the rapping consultant, clinical geneticist Professor Julian Barwell about Fragile X Syndrome, cancer genomics and the holistic approach to his practice. A genuine mic-drop of an interview. The Road to Genome is available wherever you get your podcasts. Harriet: And I think came to a point in our final meeting where we were asking our participants, so Suzalee and Gordon and everybody else in the room, whether you might consider having a lifetime genome for yourself and what that would look like. We'd love to share your views about that, and Suzalee, I'm wondering if you can share your thoughts on that with us first. Suzalee: Definitely. I would wholeheartedly be interested in the lifetime genome programme if it was offered to me right now. I believe that the pros for me are phenomenal. I have come to terms with the thought that life is unpredictable and I have already begun to accept any health condition that comes my way. Believe you me, I have been through the stage of denial, and yes, I have frozen upon hearing health diagnoses in the past but now I believe that I am a bit wiser to accept the things that I cannot change and to prepare to face the symptoms of whatever illness I am to be dealt with or to be dealt to me. If the analysis of my genome can help me to prepare, then yes, I am going to welcome this programme with open arms. Harriet: Thank you, Suzalee. And, Gordon, how did you feel about it? Gordon: Being part of the group showed me how genomics is both thrilling and daunting.  I'd lean towards ‘yes' for a lifetime genome resource for the chance to detect conditions early, but I get why some people may say ‘no' over the data fears or ethical lines. This isn't just a science project, it's about designing a future where everyone feels included and protected. We need more voices, parents, young people, underrepresented communities, to keep shaping it in the right direction. Laws would have to be enacted regarding the storage, use and availability of genetic data. We haven't yet seen as well, how AI's complete benefits in medicine will develop over time. Harriet: Thank you so much, Gordon and Suzalee, for sharing that. And, Suzannah, I know that at the end of the Public Standing Group we generally asked all of our participants whether they would choose to have a lifetime genome, the same sort of question I've just asked Suzalee and Gordon. I wondered if you could just briefly give us an overall sense of how the Public Standing Group participants felt about that. Suzannah: Yes, so it's interesting to see that actually not everyone said, despite spending a year or almost a year discussing this, not everyone said, “Sign me up,” 6 said, “No” or “Maybe.” And the reasons they gave, this idea, “Well, all this data, could a government sell it off?  What guarantees have we got?”  So that was a reason. Somewhat of a concern also about breaches but also this idea of “What do I really want to know? Do I want to have a lifetime resource that can tell me what's going to happen next in my health?” and some say, “Let me deal with it when the symptoms start coming and that's the way I want to handle it.”  So, yeah, about 20 said, “I'd be really interested,” similar to Suzalee and Gordon, 6 on the fence or firmly, “No thanks.” Harriet: Thank you so much, Suzannah. I think your point about uncertainty there is so relevant and important to us. We see uncertainty across genomics and we're layering that here with uncertainty about futures, we're layering that with uncertainty about health. And I hope that this has served to really illustrate the magnitude of the challenge we're looking at here and I think also why for us as Genomics England this is just something we're exploring. There's so much to unpack, there's so much still to be done. In terms of our next steps for Genomics England, it feels like we could speak about this for a week but I'm going to have to wrap it up here. So, for us what are our next steps?  We hope really that as we publicise the findings of this Public Standing Group and when we start combining some of our work and looking at it in harmonisation with the work that others are doing across the world, we might be better positioned to understand the potential future directions that a lifetime genome could take. That's obviously very, very exciting because we expect to see this area of enquiry expanding significantly over the coming years.  And we're already hearing about a number of other countries who are also doing birth cohort studies like we are who might hope to use similar applications of the lifetime genome going forward. So, there's a real opportunity for us here to collaborate and it's really heart-warming that the voices of our participants in this Public Standing Group can be used to facilitate that level of engagement. For us at the Generation Study, we're already looking at the next iteration of our lifetime genomes work and we're being led by the findings of this Public Standing Group as we move forward, specifically in that we're going to be starting to take some of these emerging themes to the parents of our Generation Study babies to really find out how they would feel about them. Harriet: I'd like to extend my sincere gratitude to all for being my guests today, Suzannah Kinsella, Suzalee Blair and Gordon Bedford.

 NEW PODCAST ALERT with Liza Lo! https://sistersinsong.callcast.coor wherever you get your podcasts!  We talk with Liza Lo who grew up in Spain and Amsterdam and is now living in south London where she produced her first album “Familiar.” She had some great advice, “Just keep doing it—even if you feel like there's no point in doing it.”    Drawing inspiration from the likes of Alice Phoebe Lou,Julia Jacklin, and The Staves, Liza Lo's sound meets an intersection where gentle folk-inspired instrumentation meets wistful indie-pop. Inspired by Liza's five-years living in South London, "Gipsy Hill" focusses on the feeling of slow separation from a place that feels like home. The forlorn tracks sees Liza's stirring vocal ruminate over the top of stripped back acoustic guitar and gentle string arrangements that swell into a poignant rush of melancholy. Speaking on the writing of the single, Liza says: "Throughout these 5 years I lost many of my close-knit relationships altered here, from true best friendship, to my parents marriage, to my own romantic love. It's a deeply sorrowful song that describes things from my childhood kitchen, to my best friend's porch and my insular communication after coping to learn withall this change. I hope this song finds some kind of connection with people, it's heartbreaking but I guess love is truly just everything in life and that's why it hits home. A song for the recently brokenhearted, a song for the people that have had to get to learn to live life differently when suddenly losing their best friend to brain injury, this is Gipsy Hill."   Check Liza out here:   Band camp: Liza Lo  Website: Lizalomusic.com  YouTube: Liza Lo  IG: Liza Lo_  Facebook: Liza Lo  Tik Tok: Liza _ _ _ _ Lo  

Vincenzo Barney travelled all the way from Massachusetts to join a panel of eight speakers at the My Martin Amis LIVE show in March this year. If you haven't listened to it already, do go back and hit play.Since then, Vincenzo has had business on the continent, though he could not return home without first visiting Jack in South London to discuss the book he considers Amis's greatest achievement, The Zone of Interest.Published in 2014, The Zone of Interest is Amis's fourteenth novel. The story is set in Auschwitz, where a Nazi officer falls in love with the wife of a camp commandant. Told through three narrators: Angelus Thomsen, the officer; Paul Doll, the commandant; and Szmul Zacharias, a Jewish Sonderkommando, its "compendium of epiphanies, appalled asides, anecdotes, and radically condensed history", according to the writer Joyce Carol Oates, makes it arguably one Amis's most compelling works. Upon publication, many called The Zone of Interest Amis's best novel in 25 years.As well as diving into the widely-praised film adaptation, Vincenzo describes Amis's influence on him as a 29 year-old writer. On the subject of American literary culture more generally, he describes a "suspicion of melody" that he believes harms immersive enjoyment of fiction across the pond.Listen out in particular for the moment where Vincenzo refers to a phrase Amis uses in The Zone of Interest, which he says he will likely spend the rest of his days trying to match.FOLLOW US ON TWITTER/ X: @mymartinamis Hosted on Acast.

We talk a lot about — and when I say 'we,' I mean the wider queer community — how upsetting it is that queer bars and clubs are closing at an accelerated rate. But I think the bigger tragedy is the disappearance of queer cafés.And maybe it's wrong to pit them against each other, but queer cafés offer that beautiful intermediate step. They're not as full-on or intimidating as a bar or a club, and they're places where you can just be. There's no pressure to perform, no need to match the thump of a bassline — just you, your overpriced oat flat white, and the comforting hum of conversations that sound a little more like home.One of the absolute best queer cafés that ever existed — and I won't hear any counterarguments — was First Out Café in Central London. Before it closed in 2011 to make way for yet another railway construction project, it was a sanctuary. A place where you could nervously nurse a tea while pretending to read the free gay magazines that used to exist, all the while sneaking glances at the other queers who had found refuge there too.It's also where today's guest, drag king extraordinaire Mr Wesley Dykes, took his first tentative steps into queerdom. Growing up between Lagos and South London, Wesley navigated the complexities of identity, family expectations, and self-acceptance. And when that weight felt a little too heavy, First Out Café was there — offering a cup of tea and the reassuring presence of a community.Other episodes about First Out Cafe'The First Gay Place That I Went Inside...' - with Alex Iantaffi from Gender Stories PodcastFirst Out Cafe, London (with Ali Brumfitt)Follow meInstagram: ⁠⁠www.instagram.com/lostspacespod⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.facebook.com/lostspacespod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@lostspacespod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up to the Queer Word newsletter: https://queer-word.beehiiv.com/subscribe⁠⁠⁠⁠Support meBuy Me A Coffee: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lostspacespod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow my guestInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/mrwesleydykes/
