W/C 1st June 2026So I was in a hotel on Tuesday night, and I did that thing where I was just flicking through the TV channels and I chanced upon a film I hadn't seen in a long time. In this case it was The Hunt for Red October, and although I hadn't planned to, I settled back and gave myself over to a film I had seen many times before.Personally I think it is a belting movie, great cast and really nicely put together, and just the right thing for that particular moment. What's nice about those kind of happy accidents, is that I would never have been able to tell you thats what I wanted to watch - it needed to be a serendipitous experience.I love it when that happens.Stay safe.As The Dawn Breaks - Richard Hawley Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help. It's remains loose in style, fluid in terms of content and raw - it's a one take, press record and see what happens, affair.If you want to keep in touch with TFM and the other stuff I do then please follow me on Facebook, Insta, Twitter or Patreon.

W/C 25th May 2026I like things in group of threes or fives is possible.So the fact that naming this week's pod Thunderstruck means I have four touchpoints to the AC/DC classic is a little unsettling.The first is the song itself, absolute banger - no disagreement allowed.The second is the fact that it was used spectacularly well in the soundtrack of the Pixar film Planes.The third is excellent interpretation by those chaps known as 2Cellos, stunning stuff.And finally we have my thundery run, which you are going to hear about today. Which means I am on the look-out for a fifth just to resolve the symmetry conundrum.Stay safe.Thunderstruck - AC/DCThunderstruck - 2CellosTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 11th May 2026A thought struck me as I was walking through Charles de Gaulle airport last week. I wondered how far I was standing (at that precise moment, in that exact spot) from somebody that I knew, but was unaware of.And not just that moment, maybe the last time I was in London or in Leeds, or on holiday or on the train, etc, etc.Clearly with the tech we have at our disposal we can (to an extent) answer that question with stuff such as location sharing, and snap-maps. But that only works with an engaged friendship group, and not necessarily everybody we have ever come into some form of contact with.So the question remains, how close do we pass to people we are acquainted with, but never actually bump into. Was an old school friend also passing through CDG at the same time as me last week, or taking coffee in Headingley yesterday whilst I was at the cricket, or being stuck in the same queue as me on the M1 on Tuesday evening.Answers on a postcard please.Stay safe.Honesty - Billy JoelTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

"These wars are just part of this acceleration and expansion of colonialism"Journalist and author Antoun Issa's new book Rebirth: A Love Story From the Depths of War has just been released. The book is about his mother's experiences of her time in Beirut in 1974 during the Lebanese Civil War and her migration to Australia.On the menu: Ashta without rice, burnt chicken drumsticks, and cheesecake with chocolate. Sides include: food as a tool of communication, coming out to the family, and a sprinkle of Canaanite mythology.  Antoun's social cause is free access to quality healthcare and education for all. It helps marginalised communities, it helps the millions struggling with cost of living and housing, it helps the poorest among us, it helps the elderly, it helps children, it helps parents, it helps First Nations communities, it helps those with serious mental health issues. It provides a foundation for a quality of living that every human being has the right to, which then feeds into healthy, productive and happier communities. Send us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance.

W/C 4th May 2026There are so few opportunities to use this particular song as an episode title (this is certainly the first since I started TFM) that I snatched at it, without hesitation.As a guitar player as was well aware of Gary Moore, and whilst not a card-carrying devotee, I was certainly more than aware of the range and depth of his work. I got to see him play live once, at the Montreux Jazz Festival in July 2010, and he certainly lived up to his reputation.What I didn't know at the time was that it would be his last ever recorded performance, as he would die less than a year later in Estepona, he was 58. I have spent quite a lot of time there, it is a place I really like, and yet I had no idea of that part of the story.I have included footage of that performance alongside side the original for no other reason than I was there, and finding it took underscored the poignancy of that night.Stay safe.Parisenne Walkways (featuring Phil Lynott) - Gary MooreParisienne Walkways (Montreux Jazz Festival, 2010) - Gary MooreTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

"I splash around fish sauce willy-nilly, like cologne" - Warwick Thornton In this episode of Three Food Memories, you'll meet film director Warwick Thornton.  You'll know him for his magnificent and heart-wrenching storytelling in movies such as Samson & Delilah, The New Boy, and his latest film Wolfram. What you may not know is that he is an undeniable, dinky-di foodie. So much so that he chose not to share food memories in advance of his chat with Savva, but instead invited Savva into a conversation led by instinct, feeling, and an intense hatred for fruit in savoury food...with the exception of one particular snack. What snack? You'll have to listen in to find out.  On the menu: ethnic culinary inspiration at IGAs, discovering Asian cuisine after Cyclone Tracy, and a three year journey to an epiphany about chocolate! Send us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance.

W/C 27th April 2026It will become obvious when you listen to my week why I have picked this particular song as the title track.As you will hear I had considered A Legacy by Marillion, or In A Lifetime by Clannad, both of which would have captured the spirit of what I was talking about.But instead I went for the Jason Isbell one, because to me it talks more to the journey from the initial concept to where it eventually ended up.Stay safe.Jason Isbell - If It Takes A LifetimeDon't WordleJune Emerson Wind MusicTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

A little while ago Savva interviewed Ita Buttrose for his 50th birthday. During the conversation, an amazing woman called Beryl Lane came down to chat with her idol, Ita. Beryl had travelled all the way from Macksville to see the chat, and meeting Ita was the icing on the cake. In this mini episode of Three Food Memories, Savva interviews Beryl - grandmother, teacher of 40 years, and intrepid traveller - but please don't mention backpacks, she hates them. On Beryl's menu is proper icecream, truffles in Provence, and pig at a Sing Sing in Papua New Guinea. Sides include: the importance of travel (and how to save for it), reflections on meeting Ita, and whatever "perhapses" are...you'll have to listen to find out. Beryl's social cause is Anglicare Australia - check them out here: anglicare.asn.au and check out Beryl at the Macksville opshop where you can pick up pickles, bargain clothes, and a lot of love. Send us Fan MailTo find out more about the project and Savva - head to threefoodmemories.comInsta - @savvasavas @threefoodmemoriesEmail us at threefoodmemories@plated.com.au, we'd love to hear from you!  TFM is produced and edited by Lauren McWhirter with original music by Russell Torrance. 

W/C 6th April 2026As we were driving to Manchester Airport last week we realised we had left the newly-purchased suncream at home. Even though we had only been travelling a few minutes we decided not to turn back, but risk picking some up at the departure lounge, irrespective of the fact it would probably be at an eye-watering supplement.As it turned out it was pretty much the same as buying from Boots on the high street, and another thing I noted was that the coffee and sandwich that I got from Pret was not only the same cost, but I was able to get my Club Pret discount. So kudos to everybody at T2 for not taking advantage of those passing-through.Surprisingly, and in sharp contrast, it cost eleven euros for 2 small cervazas on the way back - which is exactly what I wasn't expecting in GC. This was followed by sixty-five euros for a family Burger King (there really wasn't much more in the way of choice) which really did seem like profiteering.A tale of two departure lounges.Stay safe.Richard Hawley - As The Dawn BreaksTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 30th March 2026I am hoping you will forgive me if the edit is a little off compared with normal.The good news is that I have managed to assemble and export this week's TFM on the iPad for the second week on the spin, and the first where I didn't have a fallback option.The not-so-good news is that I can't work out how to fine-tune the episode length (I like the episodes to end in a double digit format) and the volume fades are not as precise.I am sure I will get better, but I must admit I am finding the new workflow a little frustrating.Clearly not a real world problem, so I will give my head a wobble, but at the same time this wouldn't be TFM if I didn't at least mention it.Stay safe.P.S He finished with Carless Whisper so we got the saxophonic holy trinity - very apt considering what day it was…(Reach up for the) Sunrise - Duran DuranGuardanapoTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

A three-year investigation by the Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) and Congolese NGO Premi Congo uncovered severe health consequences for communities living near the Tenke Fungurume Mine (TFM) in the Democratic Republic of Congo, the world's largest copper-cobalt mine.  Residents report nosebleeds, coughing up blood, and a troubling rise in stillbirths, all linked to high levels of sulfur dioxide emitted by a processing plant at TFM operated by Chinese mining giant CMOC Group. Luke Allen, a senior African program campaigner and one of the authors of the report, joins Eric & Géraud to discuss how the investigation also exposed major problems in corporate certifications that are supposed to call out this kind of environmental harm, but instead gave cover to the very companies causing it.

W/C 23rd March 2026I appreciate I have said this before, but one of the challenges of TFM is that some weeks what goes through my head just isn't that interesting.Take this week, twenty odd minutes of stuff but honestly, nothing that is going to give you any deeper insight or philosophical clarity. You could summarise it as something I have taken a shine to, and something I haven't, something I haven't heard for ages and enjoyed, and something I haven't but didn't, and something that may (or may not) be a bit of a fad.You see, even the notes for the pod this week aren't that enlightening.Stay safe.Human - Rag 'n' Bone ManRenault 5Therapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 16th March 2026On the back of using a Cliff track for a recent TFM I went back and listened to 'those' albums all over again, which is why it was easy to join the dots and get to this track whilst trying to come up with something for this week, specifically the on-location recording bit.Of course that then took to me back to that very 'of it's time' video, that has the man himself roller-skating around listening to a Sony Walkman. The things that I get dragged back to as part of the TFM process are indeed more than a little surreal.I know I said it in the pod, but thanks to you all for your support and feedback.

W/C 9th March 2025I am now in two minds.Having mentioned this tune toward the end of this week's TFM I am not sure it is in fact the right choice because equally I could be the problem in the integrity of this figurative dam. But you have got to pick a side and I do like this track so I am sticking with it (don't worry it will all make sense as you listen, or at least it should...).I don't know what else to write about what I have to say as it kind of stands alone this week, so I will take up no more of your time and let you listen.Stay safe.Hold Back The River - Wet Wet WetTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity. It started out as a mechanism for me to clear my head, with the hope that by saying stuff out loud it would act as a little bit of self-help.

W/C 2nd March 2026As you are about to hear I went somewhere a bit special this week, and it took me right back to early 1983, as I approached my twelfth birthday.At that stage I was desperately waiting for the day to arrive, because I was hoping to get a ZX Spectrum (16KB) and join the cyber-generation. In preparation, and as a way of increasing my sense of anticipation and excitement, I had been reading, and re-reading the couple of computer magazines that I owned, devouring anything I could and planning what I would use the mythical machine for.Within the pages was an advert for the Spectrum, a full size image on the actual machine in all its glory. I remember this vividly, because as the day approached I had taken to sitting cross-legged on the floor, typing commands into the keyboard, and imagining how my life as a top programmer was going to pan out.Stay safe.I'm Nearly Famous - Cliff RichardTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 23rd February 2026It's been a long time since I have watched Pulp Fiction, but it came up in conversation when I was asked by my eldest if I could suggest something for him to watch.At the beginning of lockdown I began the process of ripping my DVD collection and having everything available as easy playback and sharing, and having got about 80% of the way through it before getting bored, it meant I had a lot to peruse and ultimately recommend.Along with the cool-as-you-like Tarantino classic I offered up Grosse Pointe Blank, I Am Legend, Inception, Phone Booth, The Usual Suspects, Seven, Birdman, Blade Runner and Unbreakable.Oh, and Phoenix Nights.Stay safe.You Never Can Tell - Chuck BerryTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 16th February 2026I am bringing you a bit of a story this time, so here isn't much I can really say about it in advance...I need to just let it all unfold, so to speak.What I can say is that the track that gives the episode its title is by Dave Lee Roth, and is from an album called A Little Ain't Enough released in 1991. It is memorable for me because I went to see DLR on that tour, and it remains the only live experience I have of him or any link to Van Halen.It is also memorable because I bough a t-shirt that had 'Pure F*ckin Rock' emblazoned on the front (just without the censorship) which I wore with the cocky swagger of a 20 year old, thinking I was the first.Which is more than a little amusing, in the context of today's tale.Stay safe.Sensible Shoes - Dave Lee RothTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 9th February 2026In between recording and note-writing Wikipedia has provided one of the answers;St Andrew's Church is a redundant Anglican church standing in an isolated position, in fields about 2 kilometres to the north of the village of Woodwalton.The isolated position of the church is thought to be due to its central location between Woodwalton Castle, a motte and bailey castle to the north, Sawtry Abbey to the west and the village settlement to the south.It is about 200 metres to the east of the East Coast Main Line and is visible from the passing trains.A picture of the church appears on the cover of the book The Nation's Favourite Churches by Andrew Barr.Oh, and it allows me to tip my hat to the Little Angels, on the week tickets have gone on sale for their reunion tour.Stay safe.Splendid Isolation - Little AngelsSt Andrews Church, WoodwaltonTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

Time disappears for me on a Saturday morning.I like to be out for a run around the seven thirty mark, which means that the alarm is usually set for between six and six thirty, so I can start the process of recording the weeks TFM. In theory that should be enough time to record a c.20 minute podcast, make a brew, write the notes and get myself ready.It's currently 07:38 and I have got this far. I have managed to lose fifteen minutes listening to Tenacious D and a further five minutes just faffing. I have also taken the top of a small scab on my left forearm, which is gently bleeding toward my elbow. There is a good chance it will be gone eight before I am pounding the pavement, but I do now have a brew on my desk. There is still a good chance something else will throw me off task before I hit send.Stay safe.The Day Before You Came - PulpWicked Game - Tenacious DTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 26th January 2026OK so this is a very particular phenomena to mention, but there is something about that first blast of UK air when you get off a plane that is really quite reinvigorating.It is probably down to nothing more than the welcome release from the stale air of the aircraft, but when I was met by what was comparatively fresh and chilly air as I stepped into the air bridge, it didn't half hit the spot. And I got a second chance to enjoy it as the lift doors opened onto the multi-storey car park.Of course by the time I reached Sheffield, and it contained a fair dollop of driving rain, and I was feeling the temperature differential from SoCal quite acutely, it had lost some of it's initial appeal.Stay safe.Ride on Time - Black BoxTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 19th January 2026Friday Night.I have just collected some take-out food and returned to my hotel room on the top floor of the Sheraton Park Resort, to eat Spaghetti and watch The West Wing. After three days of meet and greet I am spent, I just want be quiet for a while.The Friday 'night-in' has become a regular feature of this trip over the last few years, and it is neccesitous if I am going to get through the last of the working days. Don't get me wrong there are a lot of people here that I have come to know well (and care about) over the years, but I need a few hours to regroup.I will be fine by the morning. One more day of back-to-backs (starting with a breakfast meet at 07:45) and that will be it for another year. I do enjoy this show, but for now I am grateful for the space and the wise words of Jed Bartlett.Stay safe.Free Fallin' - Tom PettyTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 12th January 2026As an addition to the bit about things that we just pass-by all the time without really noticing, I went to Milton Keynes this week (go with me on this) because I had been asked to speak as part of a panel discussion on Music Education.Anyway, I stayed at the Hilton hotel which is incorporated into the Stadium MK complex, the homes of the MK Dons football team. Because of the nature of the development the entrance is a fairly small and basic, with just a Reception Desk, a sort of gathering space with a few chairs and the lifts. It starts to open out on Floor Two, when you get the first of the restaurants, a bar area, some meeting rooms and the gym (as well as the first of the bedrooms).All perfectly predictable then, until you get to floor three which just comprises of bedrooms. What I wasn't expecting was the fact that it does a complete loop of the football pitch, so whichever way you turn as you leave the lift, and provided you don't turn back) you can keep walking until you have been around all four corner posts and arrived back at where you started. There are also a number of windows along the route so you get a great view of the playing surface and the stadium itself.Now I have driven past this building on a number of occasions, and eaten in the restaurant, and yet I had no idea about that part of the design. And looking from the outside you equally probably couldn't have worked it out. Pretty cool, eh.Stay safe.Anxiety - Jason Isbell and the 400 UnitTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 5th January 2026Two things to quickly mention before you listen to this week's TFM.Firstly I managed to get myself confused by songs, so instead of The Who track that I mentioned you are getting the Robbie & Kylie track that was actually playing in my head. I think the confusion comes from the final line of the chorus which does actually say 'the kids are alright', even though the song title is more to the point.It's not that I have a problem with The Who, but that track isn't one that would ever loop in my subconscious.Secondly I have just found an enormous hair growing from the top of my ear, probably getting on for an inch in length. Now I have been in a few social situations this week and either nobody spotted it (unlikely) or nobody pointed it out. I was more than a little distressed at my need for an overdue aural manicure, so please...if you spot misplaced and (frankly) rampant follicles on a friend or colleague, gently let them know. They will thank you, I promise.Stay safe.Kids - Robbie Williams & Kylie MinogueTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 29th December 2025I have got a little bit reflective and a little bit sentimental this week, but I guess that is only to be expected as the old year finally turned.And even though I only finished recording a few minutes ago, I am already thinking of the things that I missed out of my 'off the cuff' countdown of the best, and most memorable bits of 2025. Now normally I would be kicking myself at the omission, but actually I am taking the positives from the positives that I missed, and choosing just to smile.However you choose to do it, thinking back on the good times is well worth it.Stay safe.This is the Time - Billy JoelTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 22nd December 2025I am going to split Christmas 2025 into three categories, the more, the less and the same.In the more bucket we have family cultural experiences, with the triple whammy of the cinema, the theatre and the panto in a five day period bookending the big day. I would also throw into the more pot, jigsaw-time, food-prep and possibly running.The consistent category is food and drink, no question. The annual appearance of the cheese board has been most welcome, and there has been very little in the way of intake discipline since Christmas Eve. Slightly more red than white, equal parts savoury to sweet.And the less has been screen time, scheduled group TV moments and snoozing. I don't think I have had one nap this time around.Oh and matching Christmas Pyjamas, at no point has this even been considered, as an insta-moment or as going-out attire.Stay safe.The Boy in the Bubble - Paul SimonTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

W/C 15th December 2025Technically speaking the actual song title for this is Thea Gilmore's Midwinter Toast, but I have taken a little artistic license for the episode naming just because it's my podcast, and I can.I make no apology for banging on about this incredible songwriter, or indeed for reminding you that her winter album Strange Communion is the only thing you should be listening to for the next week or so. It remains an incredible collection of songs, and the fact that it can be revisited every year at this time, and still have the ability to knock me (or indeed anyone) right over is all you need to know.So apropos of nothing, other than we are just about to hit the 21st, I present to you the studio version, and a lovely live take on this song.Hopefully I will see a few of you before we get to the 25th, but if not I wish you a safe and peaceful Christmas xThea Gilmore's Midwinter ToastThea Gilmore's Midwinter Toast - Live at the Jazz CafeJ Sheekey RestaurantTherapy For Me (or TFM as I now refer to it) is a bit of an audio curiosity.

Episode #226 We've all been there — things are going great, the scale is moving, fasting feels easy… and then suddenly, everything stops. In this episode, Coaches Terri and Heather open up an honest conversation about plateaus: what causes them, why they're normal, and how to move through them without losing your motivation. From dialing up your fasting rhythm to rethinking “healthy” foods that might be slowing your progress, this chat dives into the real-life adjustments that make a difference. They also explore how stress, sleep, and lifestyle habits play a bigger role than we often realize — and how to find balance again when things stall. If you're feeling stuck or discouraged, this episode will remind you that plateaus aren't failure — they're part of the process. Listen in for encouragement, practical tips, and a few laughs along the way.

Episode #223 In this Fasting Q&A episode, hosted by Coach Lisa Chance, Dr. Jason Fung answers questions from the TFM Community:   1. I am a healthy 46-year-old working to improve my sleep, so I want to take magnesium bisglycinate. My magnesium supplement actually contains 7 forms of magnesium, which is very convenient, but is it better to just take one form in one capsule for absorption or any other reason? [01:23] 2. Two-part question on TFM's Fat Fasting  One: Vinegar is not on the list, but you have mentioned that we can eat salads. Would it be okay to make a dressing with a healthy oil and vinegar during a Fat Fast?    Two: I've seen some mention to only eat 3-4 of the allowed foods on a fat fast. Is this an alternative manner to step up one's game during a fat fast? [03:58] 3. I just read about a study on stem cell research.  Could you elaborate further what this may mean for those with pancreas, liver, or kidney issues? [08:11] 4. Are there any research-based studies that fasting helps lower cholesterol? [09:55] 5. I'm on day four of a water fast and I am noticing a metallic taste in my mouth. Is this unusual? Why does it happen? [13:46] 6. I have various autoimmune conditions and it was suggested I consider going on LDN (low dose naltrexone), and that this can also help with weight loss. I'm wondering what your thoughts are on LDN for weight loss and, if I decided to start it, how I would incorporate it into my fasting schedule. [16:09] 7. What is the difference between The Dawn Phenomenon and Feet-to-Floor Syndrome? From what I can find they both cause a rise in morning blood sugar, one due to circadian rhythm and the other due to a stress response from getting the day started. Is there a different eating/fasting protocol that is best for one over the other, and how do you know which one you are experiencing? [18:14] 8. Is kidney disease the cause of interstitial cystitis and how do you treat it? [21:05] 9. I have high uric acid and also the APOE 4-4 gene. Would the 3T of lime juice recommended for high uric acid affect the neural autophagy I use as a prevention for the dementia risk? What is the best way to navigate fasting with these two needs? [21:59] 10. Are there any dangers to keeping blood sugars in a consistently low range (50-60's mg/dl) if no symptoms of hypoglycemia are felt? [24:55] 11. In some fasting groups on-line, they are big into breaking fasts with watermelon and fruit juices. How do you feel about breaking fasts with these things?
