Podcasts about West London

From the end of October to the start of December 2001, an unspecified two-roomed second-floor flat on Eagle Street in Holborn was a warm and welcoming guesthouse rented out to two Korean students exploring London. As strangers in a notoriously dangerous city, they did everything right to ensure their safety, as London isn't for the faint hearted. And although they stayed within confines of their tight-knit community, their sadistic killer was hiding in plain sight.Location #1: unknown number, ‘Beckley' 47-51 Eagle Street, Holborn, London, WC2Location #2: unknown number, Lansbury Estate, Augusta Street, Poplar, London, E14Date: 8th or 9th of December 1913 and 27th October 2001Victims: Hyun-Han Jin and In-Hea SongCulprit: Kye Soo KimFive 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.

With the increase of feigned injuries, former Albion physio Malcolm Stuart joined Ady & Al to look at the politics, the tactics and the medical concerns over this phenomenon.And with Albion not bothering to lose at West London, Vicki joins the cast to discuss the match, the improved performance, and the much-improved result.

In a pod extra, Russ welcomed on Dave Lane from the Beesotted Pride of West London podcast for a lovely chat ahead of Albion's nerve-inducing visit to The Gtech this Saturday. Keith Andrews has proved all the doubters wrong this season, seemlessly taking over the reigns from Thomas Frank and seeing his side into a lofty 7th in the current PL standings with no sign of slowing down anytime soon. Laney spoke about Keith, the season as a whole, the impressive ongoing recruitment successes, Matthew Benham's overall influence, the ever present and ever annoying media bias and what it would mean if The Bees could emulate our own achievements in earning a grand European tour for the next campaign.

On this week's episode of That Peter Crouch Podcast, we're joined by one of the Premier League's original centre-forward royalty… Les Ferdinand.Before the goal compilations, before the Sky Sports montages, before strikers were measured by pressing data and heat maps, there was “Sir Les”. QPR icon. Newcastle hero. The man leading the line when the Premier League still felt brand new. A proper No.9. Power, presence, goals everywhere he went. If you grew up in the 90s, you knew exactly what Les Ferdinand meant.He joins Pete, Sids and Chris to talk about the journey from West London non-league graft to becoming one of the most feared forwards in the country. There's the unbelievable story of starting out as a goalkeeper, the Turkey move that changed his mentality forever, and the sliding doors moment with Manchester United that could have rewritten football history. We get into loyalty, ambition, dressing room politics and the brutal advice from Ray Wilkins that stuck with him for life. It's honest, funny, reflective and packed with the kind of insight only someone who's lived it can give.We've split our conversation Les into two parts, and after we transition out of the nostalgia fuelled Part 1, things immediately descend into remote chaos.We build up to Macclesfield's FA Cup tie and what it could mean for the pod, update the leaderboard as the pressure ramps up, and dive into this week's Paddy Power predictions with a North London Derby thrown into the mix. There's a live package opened on air that nobody fully understands, some technical mishaps, a bit of shouting about scores, and the sort of disorder that only seems to happen when we're not all in the same room.Part 2 with Les drops next week.

This episode of Addicted to Recovery features Harry, who shares his personal journey through addiction, recovery, and fatherhood. He reflects on growing up in West London, navigating family challenges, and being diagnosed with ADHD at a young age. Despite a childhood filled with love, the absence of a consistent male role model and exposure to a tough “lad culture” shaped his identity and influenced early drinking and drug use. Football became both an outlet and an entry point into environments where alcohol and substances were normalised. As Harry entered adulthood, his substance use escalated from social drinking to daily reliance on alcohol and cocaine. He describes maintaining work and responsibilities for a time, but eventually falling into patterns of secrecy, financial strain, paranoia, and emotional instability. The pressure of moving house, building a family, and trying to live up to expectations intensified his addiction. Even becoming a father — which he hoped would change everything — wasn't enough to stop the cycle, and feelings of guilt and shame continued to grow.The turning point came when Harry reached a severe mental health crisis, feeling overwhelmed and suicidal. He recalls moments of deep despair, including walking alone in a forest and later confronting himself in a mirror, which sparked a powerful realisation that he needed help. This moment led him to attend recovery meetings, where he began the process of rebuilding his life. Through recovery, he learned that sobriety wasn't just about quitting substances, but about changing his mindset, letting go of ego, and learning healthier ways to connect with others.Since getting clean, Harry explains how his priorities have shifted towards reliability, honesty, and family life. He talks about becoming a more present partner and father, embracing emotional openness, and redefining what masculinity means to him. Motivated by his own growth, he started a men's mental-health group called “The Man Cave,” offering a supportive space where men can talk openly about struggles such as anxiety, relationships, work pressures, and identity — not just addiction.Overall, the episode highlights themes of vulnerability, accountability, and transformation. Harry's story emphasises that recovery is an ongoing journey of personal change, where learning to drop the mask and ask for help becomes the foundation for a more authentic and meaningful life.

Arsenal kwam deze week twee keer in actie. Eerst in West-London tegen een erg taai Brentford. Ondanks een rake kopbal van Noni Madueke moest Arsenal hier genoegen nemen met een punt terwijl rivaal City inloopt. Later in de week stond de 4e ronde van de FA cup op het programma. Tegenstander Wigan bleek een aantal maatjes te klein voor de koploper van de Premier League en was na een klein half uur al geklopt. Wij bespreken dit en blikken vooruit op komende wedstrijden in aflevering 37 van seizoen 6 van de ArseNL podcast. Volg ons op Instagram via @arsenlpodcast en come on you Gunners!

Arsenal leave West London with a point — but far more questions than answers.In this episode of The Non-Negotiables, we break down the 1–1 draw at Brentford and ask whether Arsenal are drifting away from the identity that made them so dominant. With Manchester City applying pressure in the title race, this was a night that demanded control. Instead, it became another conversation about long balls, lost fluency, and a worrying lack of sustained chance creation.We analyse the starting XI, the impact of key absences, and how the tactical approach shaped the first half. Is “Long Ball FC” becoming more than just frustration? Are Arsenal overthinking matches against teams they should be imposing themselves on? And what does this style shift say about the manager's current priorities?There's a deep dive into the Eberechi Eze debate — recruitment vs role — and whether he's being used in a way that suits his strengths. Then we unpack the second-half momentum swing: Odegaard's introduction, the return of familiar patterns, and Madueke's header that briefly felt like the breakthrough moment.But control evaporated. We examine the throw-in equaliser, the defensive lapses, and the concerning injury situation around Odegaard. Why was he left on? What did it cost Arsenal structurally? And how much did fatigue and squad rotation play into the late chaos?We close Part 1 with the bigger picture — xG, chance creation trends, and the uncomfortable truth about title-winning standards. Can you win a league without a 20-goal forward? And what actually is Arteta's football right now?Part 2 covers managerial sackings across the league, concerns around Ethan's loan situation, another controversial VAR weekend in MW26, and a look ahead to the FA Cup tie against Wigan — a potential reset moment before Wolves.The title race isn't over. But identity, control and attacking clarity now feel like the decisive battlegrounds.Set Piece FC rolls on — but can Arsenal rediscover themselves in time?Chapters:(00:00) - Arteta's Non-Negotiables Intro(01:01) - Brentford Context, Starting XI Reaction & Injury Concerns(03:03) - Long Ball FC Returns(09:00) - Eberechi Eze Debate: Role or Recruitment Issue?(14:27) - Half-Time Shift: Odegaard Changes the Game(16:59) - 0–1 | Madueke's Header & Momentum(19:28) - Back to Long Balls & Control Lost(21:08) - 1–1 | Throw-In Chaos & Odegaard Injury Scare(24:25) - Why Was Odegaard Left On?(27:51) - Late Chances(31:05) - Stats, Chance Creation & Title-Winning Standards(33:12) - Identity Crisis: What Is Arteta's Football?(36:21) - PT.2 Managerial Sackings: Spurs & Forest(41:23) - Ethan Loan Concerns(45:17) - VARse MW26: Chelsea, City & Officiating Standards(51:55) - Wigan FA Cup Preview(01:00:27) - Final Thoughts: February, Injuries & Title Belief

This week's Beesotted Pride of West London podcast sees Billy TheBee Grant looking ahead to Brentford's FA Cup trip to Macclesfield - with memories still lingering of their recent giant-killing shock against Crystal Palace. The question hanging in the air - could the Bees be next?Billy spoke to Macclesfield fan Ellie Thomason to get the full lowdown on the Silkmen and what Brentford fans should expect from this cup tie.Elle talked us through the emotional backdrop of the club. She reflected on the collapse of Macclesfield Town in 2020 and how painful that period was for supporters, referencing the chaotic final months which included the Sol Campbell era. For many fans, losing their club overnight left lasting scars.She explained how the rebirth as Macclesfield FC has brought huge pride back to the town. While older supporters haven't forgotten what happened, the phoenix club has created a renewed sense of connection between fans and ownership, with a strong community feel around matchdays and a club that feels more grounded and unified.On the pitch, Elle highlighted Macclesfield's strong league form and the confidence running through the side. She picked out key players Brentford fans should keep an eye on and spoke about their FA Cup run so far, which has built real belief around the place.When the draw paired them with the Bees, Elle admitted it was excitement first and foremost - a big occasion, a big gate and a chance to test themselves against Premier League opposition.We also discussed the manager John Rooney - Wayne Rooney's brother — and the added intrigue that brings. Elle gave insight into how the team sets up, what kind of game Brentford can expect tactically and atmospherically, plus where travelling Bees fans can grab a drink before kick-off including The Jolly Sailor, The Fountain and Red Willow Hosted on Acast.

With Havertz ruled out the night before, Saliba sick, and several key players still missing, Arsenal arrived at the Gtech with a patched‑up XI and left with a point that feels… complicated.The trio break down the game's intensity, the lack of control in the first half, the impact of missing Havertz and Moreno, and why Brentford's long‑ball, second‑ball, high‑press approach caused so many problems. They also discuss Madueke's looping header, Rice's decision not to shoot, Gyökeres' movement, and the recurring theme of Arsenal conceding momentum immediately after scoring. The episode closes with a look ahead to the 4th Round FA Cup tie against Wigan and what Arsenal need to rediscover in the coming weeks.

On this week's episode, Craig, Dan and Callum reflect on ANOTHER HUGE win away from home in the Premier League, this time at Newcastle. The Bees travelled to St. James' Park on the back of a special victory at Villa Park, and ended up victorious yet again on the road. Newcastle took the lead against the run of the play, before Vitaly Janelt and Igor Thiago completed a first half turnaround. The hosts equalised in the second half, but Dango Ouattara's 85th minute strike ensured we'd travel back to West London with all three points.

Today Sean visits Kensington, the wealthiest borough in the UK, where million‑pound homes are standard and property prices sit at around ten times the national average. On the streets of West London, he stops everyday people who already live in the area to ask a simple but pressing question: how does anyone get onto the UK property ladder now? You might be surprised by some of the answers he got.

In London, a 5–10% deposit might as well be a million – normal wages can't keep up. In Kensington, properties are often in the millions, which means you're looking at deposits of at least £100,000.  Foreign money and bad policy have turned homes into assets first, shelter second – especially in high‑priced places like London. As a generational investment, property still wins long term - but the game is now stacked against most people. Yet, with the right knowledge, strategies, and a pragmatic approach, some are still finding a way through and becoming owners.  Until we fix tax, planning, and incentives, we're raising a generation of permanent renters. BEST MOMENTS “If only it was just about working harder. It's about having the right knowledge and strategies to be able to go from a standing start to building long term wealth that will benefit generations to come.” "It is difficult, but I saved for 20 years before I actually bought somewhere,  you just got to do it."  "It literally has taken me to have my own company in order to get that deposit together."  "We have condemned generations of children not to be property owners or to be slaves to a system."  VALUABLE RESOURCES MSOPI – Multiple Streams of Income: https://www.progressiveproperty.co.uk https://kevinmcdonnell.co.uk ABOUT THE HOST Sean Fitzpatrick is a property investor, educator, and the Face of Progressive Property. With a 6-figure portfolio and expertise in creative strategies, finance, and off-market deals, Sean shares success stories from the Progressive Property community, expert insights, and real-world strategies to help investors succeed.

Alan Leer is on mic in London, and today's briefing is basically: cleaner transport, messier politics, and the internet doing internet things. West Ealing to Greenford becomes the unlikely star of the show as a battery-only train starts carrying passengers. Then it's a UK science funding wobble, before we head online: Google says it's smashed a massive proxy network, and an antivirus update story proves reality still writes the worst plot twists. In gaming, Apex Legends gives the original Switch an expiry date, and Apple quietly keeps older iPhones on life support — because not everyone's upgrading every year, are they?

On Clash of the Correspondents it's West London versus East London as James welcomes Chelsea fan Gary Mantle and West Ham fan Chris Stone to discuss the latest at their clubs ahead of Saturday's meeting at Stamford Bridge. West Ham have won two in a row and though they remain 5 points from safety they are giving themselves a chance, and in the likes of Matheus Fernandes and Jarrod Bowen may even have a couple of attractive FPL assets to consider. But Chelsea will appeal to many more. With arguably the best four game stretch that any team has all season multiple Blues assets appeal including Trevor Chalobah, Enzo Fernandez and Joao Pedro. But can Fantasy managers rely on their minutes moving forward? Plus, Liam Rosenior's start, Cole Palmer's form and fitness, the battle for a Champions League place, West Ham having a more settled side and lots more, including why how Chelsea do in Naples tonight could be so pivotol for FPL managers.

Wolfie dissects what was a vital win against Brentford to move clear of the relegation zone! Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ Wolfie is back to break down a massive afternoon in West London as Nottingham Forest secured a vital 2-0 victory over Brentford! After the midweek frustration in Braga, Sean Dyche's men delivered the ultimate "away day" performance, underpinned by a defensive display that felt like a throwback to our most resolute moments of last season. The "M&M" partnership of Murillo and Nikola Milenkovic was simply immense, dealing with everything the Bees threw into the box and helping Matz Sels keep a crucial clean sheet. It wasn't always pretty—Brentford dominated possession—but we were clinical when it mattered, with Igor Jesus' early worldie and Taiwo Awoniyi's late counter-attack sealer proving the difference. This result is a genuine season-shifter, moving us five points clear of West Ham and the relegation zone at a time when the pressure was truly mounting. While the "Dyche-ball" style might still frustrate some who want to see more of the ball, you cannot argue with the efficiency of this performance. We survived the early scares, rode our luck at times, and then struck like a cobra to take all three points back to the City Ground. We want to hear your post-match thoughts in the comments below! Are you fully behind this "safety-first" approach if it keeps us in the Premier League, or do you still want to see more attacking intent? Who was your Man of the Match—was it the defensive giants at the back or the goalscoring heroics of Igor Jesus? This win has given everyone a massive lift, so jump in the chat, let us know how you're feeling, and don't forget to like and subscribe for more Forest Fan TV content. #nffc #premierleague #brentford Learn more about your ad choices.

He is a cognitive scientist whose research focuses on revealing the psychological and neural processes underlying visual perception, memory, and consciousness. He is the author of Constructing Experience: Expectation and Attention in Perception. In this episode, we focus on Constructing Experience. We talk about the brain as a prediction machine, and the generative model. We go through consciousness, perception, attention, and whether expectation can shape perception. We discuss whether attention is necessary for all kinds of conscious experiences. Finally, we talk about implications of this kind of research, including implications for scientific theories of consciousness, and clinical implications, in terms of how we understand hallucinations and schizophrenia.--A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, BERNARDO SEIXAS, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

The game was played at Barnes commons, in West London, across the river from Fulham's FCs stadium, the Craven Cottage. And the boy and his dog (Kane is his name, no relation to Harry) mess up football history while there.

MJ Cole reflects on his classical upbringing, his early love for hardcore and jungle, and how discovering slower tempos helped shape his signature sound. He shares how he keeps creativity fresh by avoiding autopilot in the studio, constantly experimenting with new tempos, tools, and sound-design techniques. They also revisit the journey behind “Sincere,” his breakthrough single and album, and discuss the realities of performing live, where passion often outweighs profit. Despite the industry's pressures, MJ Cole emphasizes that he has never wanted to quit because his drive comes from true artistic expression.Who is MJ Cole: The 90s reshaped UK culture with garage, jungle and more, and MJ Cole stood at the center with a 2-step sound that influenced grime, dubstep and artists like The xx. His breakout hit “Sincere” became one of the first garage tracks to reach the UK top 40, leading to a career producing for Dizzee Rascal, Katy B, Becky Hill, Stormzy, and co-writing Mary J Blige's “Nobody But You.” Raised in a musical West London home and trained at the Royal College of Music, Cole blended classical skill with electronic experimentation, eventually landing at Sound of the Underground and scoring chart success with “Crazy Love.” Today he stays focused on new ideas, pushing his sound through collaborations like AJ Tracey's “The Rumble,” releases on labels like Method White, and his own imprint 892, all while championing underground artists and music that feels real and connected.⏲ Follow Will Clarke ⏱https://djwillclarke.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/1OmOdgwIzub8DYPxQYbbbi?si=hEx8GCJAR3mhhhWd_iSuewhttps://www.instagram.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.facebook.com/willclarkedjhttps://twitter.com/djwillclarkehttps://www.tiktok.com/@djwillclarke Hosted on Acast.

Before he became one of the most recognisable storytellers on the comedy circuit, Hal Cruttenden was a shy kid from West London who spent years trying to be what he thought others wanted him to be. He trained as an actor, chased approval, and tried to outrun a gnawing sense that something in his life was not quite aligned. It took heartbreak, therapy, and a very honest look at himself to turn that tension into the comedy voice audiences now know so well.In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien sits down with the stand up to trace the path from drama school hopeful to seasoned touring comic finding unexpected clarity in midlife. They talk about navigating divorce in the public eye, the strange elasticity of masculinity, and the way comedy can both hide and reveal the truth about who we are. Hal reflects on family, fear, and the moments when laughter becomes a lifeline rather than a performance.It is a conversation about reinvention, vulnerability and starting again. And at its heart is Hal's realisation that the most powerful thing he has ever done on stage is simply tell the truth- however messy, painful or absurd it happens to be.Find out more about Hal Cruttenden: Can Dish It Out But Can't Take It here
