Podcasts about West London

Welcome back. This week we have got some fantastic news to share from the local scene. First up, the legendary Tim Staffell, the man who fronted Smile before it evolved into Queen, is heading to the Turks Head in Twickenham with his band this coming Friday, June 19th. It is always a special night when Tim is on the bill, so if you are in West London, that is the place to be. I have also got some news closer to home. My old band, Blues is Truth, has some fresh release news on the horizon. We have been digging back into the archives and the studio lately, so stay tuned for updates on what is coming next from our corner. The music this week is a proper cross section of the greats and the new guard. We are kicking off with BB and the Blues Shacks and a track from my own Blues is Truth before sliding into the beautiful collaboration of Staffell and Stewart. You will also hear the Louisiana soul of Tab Benoit, The Knickerbocker All Stars, and the Papa George Band. Because no show is complete without the icons, we have got The Rolling Stones, Freddie King, and Big Mama Thornton keeping things grounded. We are also featuring the brilliant harmonica work of Paul Lamb and the Kingsnakes, the fire of Coco Montoya, and a classic pairing of Buddy Guy and Junior Wells. The energy keeps rising with Garry Burnside, GA 20, Big Harp George, and Monster Mike Welch. We have also locked in the Walter Trout Band, Paul Garner Band, Shawn Pitman, and Little Mac. Wrapping up this two hour session, you will hear the legendary Taj Mahal, the powerhouse Kyla Brox, the king Muddy Waters, and the master of the slide, Steve Dawson. It is a packed show with a lot of history and plenty of future.

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.

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. Location: Rupert Street (number unknown), Soho, London, W1Date: 1940 to 1942Victims: ‘Veronique'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.

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

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Soccer Bedtime Stories, we tell the inspiring story of Michael Olise, the quiet and creative winger who rose from the streets of West London to Crystal Palace, Bayern Munich, the Bundesliga, and the French national team.Born in Hammersmith and raised in Hayes, Michael learned soccer with a ball at his feet, house walls as teammates, and his younger brother Richard chasing after him. With family roots in England, Nigeria, France, and Algeria, Olise carried a rich multicultural story into a football journey that was never simple.Before becoming one of the most exciting young attacking players in world soccer, Michael faced setbacks. Chelsea released him, struggled to find a home at Manchester City, and had to rebuild his path at Reading FC. There, his talent began to shine, leading to the EFL Young Player of the Season award, a move to the Premier League with Crystal Palace, and eventually a dream transfer to Bayern Munich.This football bedtime story for kids and families follows Michael Olise's journey from quiet street footballer to France international. It is a story about creativity, rejection, resilience, patience, and the power of staying true to yourself.Sleep well and dream big, soccer friends. Support the showSupport the show!

Perminder Mann is CEO of UK & International for Simon & Schuster, a role she stepped into in May 2024 after eight years as Group CEO of Bonnier Books UK. In this episode, Perminder traces an unlikely path to the top of publishing—from a working-class immigrant family outside West London, where she didn't own a book until she was 22, to special sales, a tour through the toy industry, and ultimately the corner office. She talks about elocution lessons, flexibility as a philosophy, and what she is doing at Simon & Schuster to build a culture where difference is celebrated rather than managed around.

In this episode, we unpack what the former midfield genius brings to West London following his historic unbeaten double with Bayer Leverkusen and a fiery, short-lived stint at Real Madrid.

We're lucky to have the talented actress Anne-Marie Duff (St.Joan, The Magdalene Sisters, Shameless, Bad Sisters, The Virgin Queen) as our guest today, taking Gyles back to her happy childhood in a tight-knit community in West London, where she lay in bed hearing the sounds of piano from the local pub wafting in through the windows, and heard her father singing love songs to her mother. She talks about being a shy and bookish child, sometimes feeling as if she was "on the wrong planet" and finding confidence at a drama group. She talks about her early fascination with theatre, training at the Drama Centre London, her experience playing St Joan at the National Theatre and stage fright. She talks about love, grief, and caring for her brother, Eddie, who had early onset Alzheimer's and sadly died earlier this year.This is a fascinating, heartfelt and moving interview, full of wisdom and insight. Enjoy this - we know you will. Our thanks to Anne-Marie Duff for her time, energy and for telling her story so beautifully.Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube here. Join The Rosebud Family here.

The Eagles were forced to settle for a point in West London as a resilient Brentford side twice came from behind to salvage a 2-2 draw. On an afternoon where Palace initially looked sharp and dangerous, failure to kill the game off when they had the upper hand ultimately allowed the Bees to push back late.

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.

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.

Wolfie looks what was a sensational win by Forest at Stamford Bridge yesterday! Check out FFTV Merch! Click Here: https://forestfantv.com/ What a performance at the Bridge! Join Wolfie as he breaks down an incredible afternoon in West London where Nottingham Forest didn't just beat Chelsea—we absolutely dismantled them with a heavily rotated side. We're diving deep into how the "B-team" stepped up under immense pressure, showing the incredible squad depth Vítor Pereira has built. From Matz Sels' heroic penalty save to deny "Ice Cold" Cole Palmer, to the clinical finishing that silenced the home crowd, we'll dissect every tactical masterclass that led to this historic 3-1 victory.

In April 1999, British TV's Golden Girl Jill Dando was shot dead on her own doorstep in Fulham, West London, in broad daylight. The attacker didn't flee in panic - they simply walked away. No weapon was ever recovered and no clear motive was established. And despite one of the largest murder investigations in British history, the case remains unsolved to this day. How does someone so well known and widely respected end up the victim of such a calculated and mysterious killing?In this episode of British Murders with Stuart Blues, we take a deep dive into the unsolved murder of Jill Dando. From her rise as one of the UK's most recognisable television presenters to the chilling events of April 26, 1999, we break down the timeline, the eyewitness accounts, and the key suspect, Barry George. We also explore the major theories that have surfaced over the years, including claims of a professional hit, links to organised crime, Serbian retaliation, and the possibility of an obsessed individual acting alone.More than two decades on, the murder of Jill Dando continues to divide opinion and raise unanswered questions. Was the wrong man convicted then acquitted? Was this a targeted execution, or something far more personal? This is a case that shocked the UK, dominated headlines, and still lingers as one of Britain's most perplexing unsolved crimes.Exclusive content:Patreon - Ad Free, Early Access, Exclusive EpisodesFollow the show:British Murders with Stuart BluesDisclaimer:The case discussed in this podcast episode is real and represents the worst day in many people's lives.

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on ANOTHER draw in the Premier League, this time a goalless affair against our West London rivals Fulham at the Gtech. Brentford came into the game with another chance to move into sixth and with the Cottagers looking to draw level on points with Keith Andrews side with a win. But, in keeping with recent West London derbies, the occasion fell flat, and to a 0-0 draw. We chat about out most frustrating results of the season, why the game lacked the necessary bite, and how our European hopes look in light of the result.

A nonprofit in West London is accepting Bitcoin donations to fund the next generation of entrepreneurs — and it all started with one conversation at a judging panel.Sheela Sharma is CEO of Portobello Business Centre, a 30-year-old nonprofit that helps underserved entrepreneurs — 70% of them women — start and grow their own businesses. Before that, she spent 14 years in investment banking, including as an equity analyst at Merrill Lynch covering medical devices and pharma. She came in knowing nothing about finance. She left as a COO.

This is Part One of Two. On the Saturday the 27th of October 1984, 76-year-old widow Barbara Pinder was brutally murdered in her own flat on Prince of Wales Drive in Battersea by an unknown man with a lot of hatred for her. One year later, on Saturday 27th of October 1985, 86-year-old widow Henrietta Osbourne was also stabbed and attacked frenziedly in an attack which had similar hallmarks.

On Sunday 28th of March 2004 at 8.20pm, Police were called to either Room 701 or 703 at The Marriott Hotel at 134 George Street near Marble Arch, London, W1. Concerned for the guest, he was found naked, in the bath, in what looked like it could have been an accident or a suicide. It had all the hallmarks of a professional hit by experienced assassins of the Russian Mafia who were hired to whack-out a rival for the sake of money, revenge or respect. Yet it ended with a cataclysmic cock-up which showed these hitmen to be truly incompetent.Locations: Room 701 or 703, The Marriott Hotel, 134 George Street, Marble Arch, London, W1Date: Sunday 28th of March 2004 at 8.20pmVictims: Simion Turkov (aka Yermia Yunataev)Culprit: Andrei Melnikov & Michael AntoneliSeven 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.

On the latest episode of Running the Game, Rog sits down with Brentford owner Matthew Benham at the MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference to explore how data, culture, and smart decision-making transformed a small West London club into a Premier League contender. Benham explains how his background in statistical modeling and betting markets shaped Brentford's recruitment strategy, why the club focuses on collective decision-making instead of superstar managers, and how identifying inefficiencies in transfers and set pieces helped fuel their rise. He also reflects on Brentford's striker production line, the role of data versus scouting, and why football still has untapped analytical frontiers.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
