Wednesday the 7th of October 1998, 40-year-old Wendy Upton of Lichfield went to her local Tesco's to buy the basics, and vanished without a trace. For nine months, there was no trace of her; no sightings, no calls and her bank account wasn't touched, her husband believed she had been murdered, but the Police held firm to their belief that she was missing, had fled, or had overdosed.But what was the truth, and how did her killer subvert the investigation to his own need?Seven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

When Bashar al-Assad fled Syria in December 2024, it brought a sudden end to a family dynasty that had ruled the country for more than fifty years. The collapse of his government also prompted a new wave of reporting into the lives of the Assads — and particularly Bashar's wife, Asma al-Assad.Before she became Syria's first lady, Asma was Emma Akhras, a British-born investment banker from West London. Once profiled by Vogue as a modernizing force and “a rose in the desert,” she became one of the most controversial figures of Assad's brutal dictatorship.Chloe Hadjimatheou is The Observer's narrative editor and host of the podcast 'We Call Her Emma.' She joins guest host Jason Markusoff to discuss the transformation of Syria's former first lady and her complicity in her husband's regime.

Tennis players need far more than clean technique and a strong forehand. They need to be fast, powerful, durable and able to recover well enough to perform across an unpredictable, year-round competitive schedule. This week, Richard Graves is joined by Joshua Dragone, Head of Athletic Development at Dukes Meadows Tennis Academy, to explore what effective physical development looks like in tennis. Joshua explains why tennis S&C demands a different approach: players may be travelling, competing, dealing with limited gym access or adjusting plans after every match. He shares how he identifies the key physical qualities to target, creates structure without becoming rigid, and helps young players build the recovery, hydration and fuelling habits that support long-term development. The conversation also looks at maturation, the influence of social media on junior training, and why parents, tennis coaches and athletic development coaches need to be aligned around the individual athlete. In this episode you will learn Why tennis requires athletes to develop speed, power, change of direction, robustness and energy-system capacity at the same time. How to plan physical preparation around an unpredictable tournament schedule. How to identify the one or two physical priorities that matter most for an individual player. Why growth and maturation should shape expectations and programming in junior tennis. How to use training windows effectively when players are travelling and competing. The role of sleep, hydration and fuelling in availability, recovery and performance. Why junior tennis players are often under-fuelled — and how practitioners and parents can help. How consistent warm-up and recovery routines reduce friction on competition days. How to respond constructively when players want to copy professional athletes' social-media training. Why alignment between player, parent, tennis coach and S&C coach is essential. About Joshua Dragone Joshua Dragone is the Head of Athletic Development at Dukes Meadows Tennis Academy in West London. He joined the academy in 2021 as a Senior Athletic Development Coach and moved into his current role in 2022. With more than a decade of coaching experience across sports including rugby, football and tennis, Joshua now specialises in helping junior tennis players become faster, stronger and more robust through developmentally appropriate, athlete-centred programming.

Beavers are back on the scene in the West London suburb of Ealing. The semi-aquatic rodents were reintroduced to a local park by conservationists three years ago - the first time they'd had the privilege of dam and lodge-building in the area in 400 years. In the time since then, the wetland and dam construction have helped with flooding in an area previously assaulted by flooding on a regular basis.

Thursday the 5th of June 1975, hairdresser William ‘Tommy' Walker headed into Birmingham to buy supplies, he went to a few bars, and the nest day, his body was found 6 miles from his home, in a lover's lane having been beaten to death and robbed.

Some stories stay with you long after you've heard them........This is one of them.In this deeply honest conversation on One For The Road, Peter shares the extraordinary journey that led him from a childhood surrounded by alcoholism, addiction and chaos to finding lasting freedom through sobriety. Growing up in West London, Peter experienced neglect, trauma, poverty and instability from an early age. As the years passed, he built what appeared to be a successful life, great career, nice cars, marriage and family;But beneath the surface, unresolved childhood pain quietly shaped every decision he made.Alcohol eventually became more than a drink. It became an escape.Peter opens up about how drinking masked decades of emotional wounds, the collapse of two marriages, living behind carefully constructed "masks", and the moment he realised that stopping drinking wasn't the end of the journey, it was the beginning of healing.This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't simply about putting down the bottle. It's about rebuilding your identity, understanding your past and learning to live with honesty, connection and purpose.In this episode we discuss:Growing up in a home affected by alcoholism and addictionThe hidden impact of childhood traumaHow neglect shapes self-worth and identityLiving behind masks and becoming the person you think others wantWhy success, money and material possessions couldn't fix the painAlcohol as a coping mechanism rather than the real problemThe collapse of relationships through addictionThe difficult first year of sobrietyWhy unresolved trauma often resurfaces after quitting alcoholFinding healing through connection, journaling and honest conversationsBecoming the father he always wanted to beWhy life genuinely gets better without alcoholKey TakeawaysChildhood experiences can influence our adult behaviours far more than we realise.Alcohol often becomes a solution to emotional pain rather than the root problem.Sobriety is about much more than quitting drinking—it's about learning who you really are.Healing from trauma takes time, patience and honest self-reflection.It's never too late to change your life or repair relationships.Recovery isn't about becoming perfect—it's about becoming authentic.Resources MentionedWhat Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey & Dr Bruce PerryJournaling as a recovery toolPeer support and sober communitiesTrauma-informed recoveryIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the podcast, leaving a review and sharing this episode with someone who may need to hear it.Recovery is possible, and every conversation helps break the stigma around alcohol, trauma and mental health.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Thank you for listening to One For The Road.

Sunday 9th of October 1983, at around noon, roughly 75 yards north of the Coventry Canal, homeless man, George Cunningham was shuffling up the Old Leicester Road, when he discovered the body of 30-year-old wife and mother-of-three Lalitaben Ladva of Rugby. She had been strangled, beaten with a hammer, and her body dumped. It seemed like a motiveless crime, but a series of lies and deceptions by her killer would unearth the selfish reason for her murder.Location: Old Leicester Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, Date: Tuesday 8th of October 1983 between 11 and 12pm (murder)Victims: Lalitaben LadvaCulprit: Dhirajlal LadvaSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Drop us a note about the podcast. Paul hears the warnings, sees the grief in his friends, and still says yes to the road ahead. We start with Acts 21 and that gut-level line, “The Lord's will be done,” because it exposes a question we all live with: do we obey God only when it feels safe, or do we follow Jesus when it costs us comfort, reputation, and control?From there we talk about memory and moral formation. When a culture refuses to look at evil, it also refuses to learn from it and becomes easier to deceive. We connect that to why history matters, from 9/11 to the way atrocities like the Holodomor get ignored, softened, or forgotten. If we do not teach our kids what happened, they will grow up repeating the same mistakes with fresh confidence.We also get practical and personal. We read Song of Solomon and talk about marriage, physical intimacy, and what the church often avoids saying out loud. Then we zoom back out to America's Christian heritage, “separation of church and state,” and key Supreme Court cases that pushed prayer and Bible reading out of public schools, plus what we believe it has done to our national life.If this conversation challenges you, share it with someone who cares about faith, family, and the future, then subscribe and leave a review so more people can find the show.

Today's guest is a songwriter four albums deep, with a song that's been picking up new listeners for nine years and Mick Fleetwood playing on her latest record. But her real story isn't any of that.From weekend stage camps in West London to opening Wembley for Taylor Swift five months after giving birth, she spent a decade releasing roughly one song a year into near silence. What kept her going wasn't a plan — it was a pair of collaborators who got nothing back for years and got up and made something every day anyway.This is an honest conversation about what a long stretch of nobody listening actually feels like, and what happens when the proof finally shows up on a timeline you didn't choose.And The Writer Is...

Alan Warman opens up about a life spent building Ibiza's clubbing empire from nothing - starting as a council kid from West London throwing 800-person parties in his nan's back garden, and ending up as one of the island's most influential promoters of all time.Alongside his wild, unpredictable business partner "Mad" Tommy Mack, Alan helped launch Mad Mondays at Ku and Pacha, Wild Wednesday at Amnesia, and the legendary Black & White parties at Es Paradis - even packing 5,500 people into the Royal Albert Hall along the way. He talks about giving Carl Cox, Sasha and Rocco some of their first opportunities, the chaos of Tommy's outrageous antics, the fallouts that came with running a business alongside a man who never knew when to stop, and the grief of losing his oldest friend a few years ago. Now building the Ibiza Hall of Fame to preserve the island's history for the next generation, Alan reflects on a career that helped turn a tiny island off the coast of Spain into the clubbing capital of the world.This is the eventful life of Alan Warman.

On this episode, Harry Symeou continues to react to the news regarding Morgan Rogers' move to Chelsea. The player, reported to be Arsenal's primary target for most of the summer so far is heading to West London and manager Mikel Arteta is said to be disappointed by the fact the Gunners were unable to land him. It seems that's largely down to a sizeable gap in the valuations of the two clubs. We also react to the World Cup final where three Arsenal players tasted glory.

Bestselling fantasy authors Holly Black and Samantha Shannon on building believable magic systems, researching and constructing immersive worlds, and why the right book often only emerges once you've written the wrong one.   You'll learn Why the most convincing magic on the page often starts with something you once half-believed was real. How writing the wrong version of a book can be the only route to the right one. What the texture of a world quietly promises a reader before the plot even begins. Why putting a character through the worst is often the best thing you can do for a story. When the certainty that your draft is a disaster is just a normal part of the process. What early hype can do to a writer, and why other writers are the antidote. Where to draw the line between research that serves the book and a rabbit hole that doesn't. A method for plotting a long series when you know the destination but not the route. What happens when a character starts refusing what you try to make it do.

Growing up, we didn't see enough people who looked like us on screen and the representation we did get was often stereotypical and wasn't one we recognised ourselves in which is why this episode means a lot to me as I sit down with the cast and director of a new British South Asian film called Never Had a Chance. Never Had A Chance is an award-winning British Asian film set in the heart of the Punjabi community in Hounslow, West London. It is directed by Jazz Bhalla and stars Tina Sharma and Amar Chaggar. The film follows Ravi (Amar Chaggar), a young man navigating the weight of his past while trying to build a future. When a new connection offers a glimpse of something more stable and meaningful, he finds himself at a crossroads but those closest to him threaten to pull him back into the life he's trying to leave behind.In this episode we talk about:

On Wednesday 8th of January 1988, at 3:25pm, expelled pupil 16-year-old Darren Fowler entered the Ferrers School in the town of Higham Ferrers with two knives, 25 cartridges and a shotgun. He had written a suicide note, and planned to get revenge on those who had wronged him. By 3:37pm, it was over. But unlike the Dunblane massacre, it is largely forgotten, and why, like the Dormers Wells school shooting did it not lead for stricter gun control? This was the UK's penultimate school shooting.Location: Ferrers School, Queensway, Higham Ferrers, Northamptonshire, Date: Wednesday 8th of January 1988, 3:29pm to 3:37pmVictims: Ronnie Sherratt, Simon Druce, Jane Lucas, Michael CousinsCulprit: Darren FowlerSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Emma is a high achieving, middle class girl from West London. She seems destined for a successful career in banking and a comfortable British life. Until she makes a decision that will come to define her. In 2001 Emma marries Bashar al-Assad - the now infamous dictator of Syria.In the early days, people inside and out of Syria dared to hope. Alongside his beautiful, progressive wife, Bashar promised to modernise the country.But when the Arab Spring reached Syria in 2011, Bashar's regime showed itself for what it really was: a brutal force, willing to capture and kill ordinary Syrians demanding change. And in all the years that a war raged on, Asma stands by her husband. She seemingly ignored the desperate pleas to stop her husband from killing his own people. But what did she really know about the atrocities her husband's government was carrying out? And what choices did she really have? Some people allege that she actually assisted the regime and cashed in on the war, that she herself is a war criminal. Others say she tried to run away but was trapped, held hostage by a regime who threatened her life and her children.

Saturday the 12th of April 1958, two men – 60-year-old Isaiah Dixon and 32-year-old Matthew Kavanagh – returned to their boarding house at 11 Hillmorton Road in Rugby. Kavanagh strangled Dixon with his own tie, stole 34 10s from his pockets, went shopping, and confessed to his murder. But then in court, he denied murder, and used an alibi which had got many 1950s killers off a murder charge.Location: Ground floor bedsit, 11 Hillmorton Road, Rugby, Warwickshire, Date: Saturday the 12th of April 1958, evening, Victims: Isaiah Dixon (and Evelyn Ullah)Culprit: Matthew KavanaghSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Wednesday 20th of March 1985, the 9:02pm slow train from London Euston to Birmingham New Street pulls out of Coventry Station, having passed through Northampton, Long Buckby and Rugby. It was silent, empty, and as the lone passenger slides open the door, in an off-side compartment, he saw blood up the windows and its seats saturated in a dark goo, as running twelve feet from the seat to a door stained with red sticky prints, a ‘river' of blood ran along the aisle.A woman had been brutally murdered, and her body was missing, But how, and why?Location: 9:20pm slow train from London Euston to Birmingham New StreetDate: 9:20pm departure, 2:30am body foundVictims: Janet Mary Maddocks Culprit: Jack Roy JuniorSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

Back in 2019, the ground floor flat at 4 Darell Road in Kew was home to 34-year-old Laureline Garcia-Bertaux, a busy singleton working in the media who had big plans of being a creative success, and was striving to make it happen.She had a good job, a busy social life, she was liked, and she was popular. By the March, she was about to begin (what she believed or maybe hoped) was a fresh start by moving to a new flat. Yet, something was eating away at her, a sickness that pervaded her life, and a terminal disease which could never be cured, but this wasn't a virus which festered within, it was all around her, and it had been for a decade.Location: Ground Floor Flat, 4 Darell Road, Kew, Richmond, TW4Date: Saturday 2nd and Sunday 3rd of March 2019Victims: Laureline Garcia-BertauxCulprit: Kirill BelorusovSeven time nominated at the True Crime Awards, Independent Podcast Awards and the British Podcast Awards, Murder Mile is one of the best UK / British true crime podcasts covering only 20 square miles of West London.

John is joined by Arlo Parks and Baird to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Ambiguous Desire'. Arlo Parks is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from West London. After uploading demos to BBC Introducing as a teenager, she quickly attracted industry attention. Her debut album, ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams', arrived in 2021, establishing Arlo as one of the defining artists of her generation and earning her the Mercury Prize and two Grammy nominations. Arlo's third record, the more electronic-focused ‘Ambiguous Desire', was released in April 2026, co-written and produced by Baird, along with additional collaborators Paul Epworth and Sampha. Sitting down at Strongroom Studios in London, with Baird joining online, Arlo and Baird discuss the “runaway train” of their symbiotic creative process and how they recreated the feel of the club and dancefloor through the record's distinctive grooves. They share never previously heard freestyles, demos and vocal tracking secrets from the studio, and they answer questions from our Patreon community!

In the spring of 1942, a young French girl known only as ‘Veronique' vanished from the streets of Soho. No-one knew her real name, where she came from, or how she had got there, but she had lived and worked as a prostitute for almost two years, and then having tried to escape, she vanished. Her disappearance is as much of a mystery as her life, or identity.Unlike others episodes of Murder Mile, this was compiled over a decade from the reminiscences of those who knew her or knew of her, therefore not everything should be taken as fact. Memories are subjective, and over time, the accuracy fades, and details are shifted, rearranged or adapted to suit a bias or perspective, so all that remains is a mystery.

Host Ricky Sacks is joined by Billie T, George Achillea and Ian Lubin as the panel react to West Ham United's defeat to Newcastle United, meaning Tottenham needing just a draw from their final two games to avoid relegation from the Premier League. Spurs are two points above the Hammers and with a far superior goal-difference, are likely to stay up if they as long as they avoid defeat against just one of Chelsea or Everton. We discuss how Roberto De Zerbi has nearly masterminded the great-escape and why Tottenham Hotspur can never, ever afford to be in this position ever again in a severe warning to ENIC and The Lewis Family for the Club is being run both on and off the pitch. The panel discuss comments from former Spurs defender Toby Alderweireld who says it's been ‘painful' watching Tottenham Hotspur's battle to stay in the Premier League, a club that's he says should ‘not be fighting relegation' and would jump at the chance to go back to Spurs in a strategic role. Danny Rohl has confirmed that Rangers will work on re-signing Mikey Moore this summer, we discuss what the future holds for Moore and whether another loan would be beneficial to him at this stage of his development. We finally close on our thoughts going into Chelsea, Spurs have won just one solitary game in the Premier League era at that West London ground. It came in 2018 during the peak Mauricio Pochettino years, with Dele Alli scoring twice after Christian Eriksen's stunner from 25 yards had cancelled out Alvaro Morata's strike. We discuss the fitness of James Maddison, who has recorded five goal involvements in 13 games against Chelsea in the Premier League so he knows how to hurt the Blues.

He's the London serial killer you may never have even knew existed - from the late 1950's to the mid 1960's, West London was shocked by the deaths of several sex workers, stripped, strangled, and their bodies dumped unceremoniously, like pieces of rubbish.

Britain's governing Labour party and main opposition Conservatives have suffered heavy losses as the populist right wing Reform surges ahead in early results from English local elections. We look at what this means for the country's traditional party system and how long the current prime minister can last in light of these results.Also in the programme: President Trump says the ceasefire with Iran is still in place despite a series of clashes in the Strait of Hormuz; we mark the 100th birthday of the documentary maker David Attenborough; and we'll look at how the war in Iran is causing a shortage of saffron in Italy.(Photo shows the UK's prime minister Keir Starmer speaking at a meeting with Labour Party members in Ealing, West London on 8 May 2026.
