What if one forgotten law changed the course of history — and we ignored its lesson? In this explosive interview, Matthew Syed – bestselling author, Times columnist, BBC broadcaster and former Olympian – joins Andrew Gold on Heretics to uncover the shocking truth about cousin marriage, tribalism, immigration, and the hidden ban that built Britain. From the 6th-century ban on cousin marriage that forced people to look beyond their tribe, to today's siloed communities in places like Rochdale and Bradford, Syed argues that ignoring these lessons has left Britain vulnerable. We dive into immigration policy, Labour's failures, the rise of cultural relativism, and why banning cousin marriage may be the only answer left.

UnHerd's Freddie Sayers brings together two starkly opposed voices on the Ukraine war and the future of world order: John Mearsheimer, University of Chicago professor and leading realist, and Matthew Syed, Sunday Times columnist, broadcaster and author.Mearsheimer has long argued that NATO expansion and Western policy blunders set the stage for Putin's invasion of Ukraine. From a realist standpoint, he warns that Russia's position is essentially non-negotiable and that Ukraine must cut a deal now if it is to avoid further devastation. For Mearsheimer, ignoring the hard facts of great-power politics and clinging to Western rhetoric risks only catastrophic escalation.Syed sees things very differently. In a recent Sunday Times column, he criticised the West's handling of Ukraine, from the failed Alaska summit. He accused Western governments of failing Ukraine and directly attacked Mearsheimer's realist position as “morally deranged” and fatally weak. For Syed, only moral clarity and Western resolve — not accommodation with Putin — can change the course of the war.In this debate, Freddie Sayers asks: Is realism just disguised defeatism? Is idealism dangerously naïve in the age of Trump, Putin and Xi? And, after the White House summit with Zelensky, does the West finally have a coherent strategy — or is Ukraine still being left to fight alone? Hosted on Acast.

What if your building could think for itself - anticipating needs, optimizing energy use, and enhancing occupant comfort without human intervention?   In this episode of AI at Scale, we sit down with Sadiq Syed, SVP of Digital Buildings at Schneider Electric, to explore how AI at the edge is revolutionizing the built environment. From real-time responsiveness to measurable energy savings and fewer occupant complaints, this conversation reveals how intelligent systems are transforming facility management from reactive firefighting to proactive orchestration.

In this special episode, filmmaker and contemporary artist Alia Syed joins EMPIRE LINES live, to weave together their works in moving image, photography, and oral history, and reflect on personal experiences of migration in South Asian diasporic communities in 1960s–1970s Glasgow, through their ongoing film series, The Dhaba (2025).Drawing inspiration from the tale of St. Mungo - the patron saint and founder of Glasgow - Alia Syed's exhibition, The Ring in the Fish, is an intimate exploration of memory, cultural transmission, and identity in Scotland. In The Dhaba (2025), Alia gleans stories from a series of interviews she initiated with members of the South Asian community, exposing absences in official narratives and archives, and illuminating histories in the spaces between national identities, race, gender, and diaspora. With this new, experimental, 16mm film work, Alia explores the role of imagination in migration, and how images carried across multiple generations of migrants from India and Pakistan can create new landscapes and enable new ways of being.Alia details her relationships with ‘the second city of Empire', Swansea in Wales, and London, including her long-term creative relationship with Gilane Tawadros, her formative work, Fatima's Letter (1992), filmed at Whitechapel Underground Station, and shortlisting for the Film London Jarman Award (2018). From her current work with curator Shalmali Shetty, we discuss her many intergenerational collaborations, and relations to artist women including Jasleen Kaur, who shares Alia's experiences of ‘monocultures' in Glasgow. Alia shares the importance of audio, literature, language, and translation, in her work with film and moving image.Plus, we consider political solidarity through her life and practice, from her father's activism and connections to Yasser Arafat, to the present. Alia reflects on the CCA Glasgow as an institution – one that she recalls having occupied as a teenager, when it was known as the Third Eye Centre - including the Board's ambiguous statements around endorsing PACBI (The Palestinian Campaign for the Academic and Cultural Boycott of Israel) and BDS (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions), and response to Art Workers for Palestine Scotland's programme to Reclaim the CCA in June 2025.This episode was recorded live as part of the public programme for Alia Syed: The Ring in the Fish, an exhibition at CCA Glasgow, in June 2025. The exhibition was originally scheduled to continue until 26 July 2025. Join the artist in a panel discussion at Many Studios in Glasgow on Saturday 26 July.For more information, visit: instagram.com/p/DKuql9-It_3/?img_index=1Wallpaper (2008) is on view as part of Tigers & Dragons: India and Wales in Britain at Glynn Vivian Art Gallery in Swansea until 2 November 2025.Read about Alia's work at John Hansard Gallery in Southampton, and relations to Jasleen Kaur and Permindar Kaur, in gowithYamo: gowithyamo.com/blog/permindar-kaur-john-hansard-galleryListen to Ingrid Pollard's EMPIRE LINES episodes, from Carbon Slowly Turning (2022) at the Turner Contemporary in Margate: pod.link/1533637675/episode/e00996c8caff991ad6da78b4d73da7e4, and with Corinne Fowler, as part of Invasion Ecology (2024) at Southcombe Barn on Dartmoor: pod.link/1533637675/episode/9f4f72cb1624f1c5ee830c397993732eNil Yalter on Exile is a Hard Job (1974-Now) at Ab-Anbar Gallery in London, part of London Gallery Weekend (LGW) 2023, on EMPIRE LINES: pod.link/1533637675/episode/36b8c7d8d613b78262e54e38ac62e70fAnd Dr. Mohamed Shafeeq Karinkurayil, sounding out 1960s migration between post-colonial Kerala and the Arab Gulf in a cassette of S.

What if your health risks weren't just about what you eat or how you move—but about the history your ancestors survived?As a South Asian woman and gynecologist, I've long seen the ripple effects of misunderstood metabolic conditions, especially in women who don't “look” unhealthy. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Mubin Syed—also known as DesiDoc on Instagram—whose new book Healing From Our History connects the dots between colonial-era famines and today's alarming rates of disease in South Asians. His personal health scare led to years of research, and the result is a compelling case for why our bodies still carry the burdens of our history.We also unpack what this means for PCOS, early menopause, and the misdiagnoses that come from trying to fit diverse bodies into Eurocentric templates. If you're South Asian, female, or both, this conversation will likely shift how you understand your symptoms—and how urgently we need better, more specific care.It's not all gloom. Mubin and I dive into actionable strategies, from rethinking white rice and walking more to using CGMs and reconsidering hormone therapy earlier. It's knowledge, not fear, that lets us take the reins on our future health. His book, Healing From Our History, is a must-read if you want to go deeper into the research, the history, and the path forward for South Asian health.HighlightsThe real story behind Mubin's “healthy” heart attack.What to test for now especially if you've been dismissed before.How British colonialism and famine still shape South Asian metabolism.Why lean South Asian women may still face PCOS and early menopause.Epigenetics explained: your genes didn't change, but their expression did.If you're a healthcare provider or part of the South Asian community, I hope this episode brought clarity and context to the health challenges we often face. Share it with someone who might benefit whether that's a colleague, a patient, or a family member. And don't forget to subscribe, leave a comment, and like the show.

Gaza war doctor and emergency medicine specialist Dr. Mimi Syed reveals shocking firsthand accounts of mass casualties, bombed hospitals, and the humanitarian crisis devastating Palestinian children in episode 207 of the Far Out with Faust podcast.A U.S.-trained physician who volunteered on the frontlines in Gaza, Dr. Syed brings a rare and unfiltered perspective on the catastrophic toll of modern warfare. In this episode, she recounts the apocalyptic scenes inside Gaza's overwhelmed hospitals — and explains why the suffering she witnessed is unlike anything she's seen in any other conflict zone. From deliberate attacks on civilians to the psychological collapse of young survivors, her testimony challenges official narratives and exposes the brutal realities often dismissed as propaganda.Dr. Syed and Faust explore the silence of the international community, the complicity of U.S. foreign policy, and the moral responsibility of ordinary people. They discuss the power of advocacy, the spiritual weight of witnessing trauma — and what it truly means to speak out when it matters most.Topics include:• The unprecedented scale of child casualties and trauma in Gaza• Why Gaza's medical crisis eclipses that of other war zones• The deliberate targeting of civilians and healthcare infrastructure• The devastating impact of U.S. military aid on Palestinian lives• Mental health collapse among children — and the will to die• How propaganda dehumanizes victims and distorts public perception• The complicity of silence: why speaking up is a moral imperative• The long-term consequences of war — physical, emotional, and spiritual• The spiritual aftermath of trauma — and the role of personal healing• What Dr. Syed believes every human being needs to understand about Gaza… and more. This gripping, firsthand conversation goes beyond headlines — demanding that we confront the human cost of war, and the responsibility we all share.

I would say just, think about your story a lot. You have a story. Don't underestimate your story. Your story is a collective story of your parents, your neighborhood, your neighbors, your books. It's all part of your story, so don't underestimate your story. Please tell your story, talk about yourself, talk about, the environment you grew up in, things that bothers you. Talk about it. It matters a lot when we talk about our personal things. A lot of people, a lot of time people shy away, they avoid talking about themselves because they think it's showing off.  I don't think it's showing off. You are at your most authentic self when you just talk about your story as your story. So please don't underestimate your stories. We might pick up one of your stories and make a movie out of it.

Author and broadcaster Matthew Syed joins me on The Winston Marshall Show for a sharp takedown of the post-colonial guilt underlying the decision making of Britain's governing elite, Britain's looming debt crisis, the case for diversity and the decline of reason in Western discourse.Syed dismantles the lazy assumptions behind identity politics, arguing that equality of opportunity has been hijacked by a culture obsessed with group identity. He warns that diversity, when divorced from excellence, becomes a hollow virtue—and that critical thinking is being replaced by moral posturing.Syed delves into Britain's racial discourse, the myth of systemic whiteness, and the dangers of importing American-style race politics into a very different British context.All this—taboo truths, intellectual cowardice, the tyranny of groupthink, and the fight to restore reason in an age of ideological madness…-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------To see more exclusive content and interviews consider subscribing to my substack here: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------FOLLOW ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Substack: https://www.winstonmarshall.co.uk/X: https://twitter.com/mrwinmarshallInsta: https://www.instagram.com/winstonmarshallLinktree: https://linktr.ee/winstonmarshall----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Chapters0:00 Introduction 2:20 Matthew Saeed's Career and Views on Elite Guilt13:23 Historical Context and Moral Psychology 22:23 British Colonialism and Its Legacy 31:17 Challenges of Modern British Policy 55:54 The Role of Nationalism and the Nation State 1:00:10 The Impact of Post-Modernism and Critical Theory 1:13:59 The Consequences of Elite Failure and Guilt1:16:43 Diversity and Unity in Sports and Society Hosted on Acast.

When Dr. Mimi Syed returned from her first volunteer trip to Gaza in the summer of 2024, she started flipping through her notes and came to a shocking conclusion: In one month, the ER physician had treated at least 18 children with gunshots to the head or chest. And that's only the patients she had time to make a note of. “They were children under the age of 12,” she says. “That's something I saw every single day, multiple times a day, for the whole four weeks that I was there.”Syed's not the only one. Other physicians who've worked in Gaza report seeing similar cases on a regular basis, suggesting a disturbing pattern. The doctors allege that members of the Israeli military may be deliberately targeting children. This week on Reveal, in partnership with Al Jazeera's Fault Lines, we follow Syed from Gaza to the halls of Congress and the United Nations, as she joins a movement of doctors appealing to US and international policymakers to address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.   Support Reveal's journalism at Revealnews.org/donatenow Subscribe to our weekly newsletter to get the scoop on new episodes at Revealnews.org/weekly Connect with us onBluesky, Facebook and Instagram Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

After leading a high eight-figure exit at Instapage as COO, Imran witnessed how misalignment among leadership destroyed tens of millions in enterprise value during a failed product launch. Instead of moving on, this failure became his obsession. He spent six months deeply researching why people stay at or leave organizations before founding Hatchproof, creating a company built around the belief that work should have purpose, meaning, and fulfillment. And this inspired me, and hence I invited Imran to my podcast. We explore the counterintuitive approach of obsessing over problems rather than solutions, and why most entrepreneurs get this backward. Imran challenges conventional wisdom about scaling teams, explaining why the future belongs to smaller, tightly-aligned organizations rather than sprawling enterprises. His approach turns traditional metrics upside down, focusing on revenue per employee over headcount growth, and demonstrates how creating clear value frameworks enables sustainable business decisions. Here is a quote that captures one of Imran's most striking business lessons: "You have to have an obsession with the problem, not the solution. A lot of entrepreneurs are very anchored on their solution, and they struggle when the market tells them something different. If you obsess with the problem, you'll find the solution—it may not be the first one, but you'll eventually get to it." By listening to this podcast you will learn: How to distinguish between an "itch" and a "burning desire" when evaluating startup ideas Why investing six months in problem research before building anything created Imran's foundation for success How creating a simple four-value framework dramatically improves decision-making and prevents feature bloat Why revenue per employee is becoming the critical metric for AI-era companies, replacing the traditional focus on headcount growth For more information about the guest from this week:  Imran Syed  Website: hatchproof.com Learn more about your ad choices.
