  1. The D.O.C: The Man That Changed Hip Hop

    The D.O.C: The Man That Changed Hip Hop

    The D.O.C. may be one of the most influential figures in hip hop history. Your favourite rapper's favourite rapper. Many have said that hip hop would look very different without them - but in the case of The D.O.C., none could disagree. A foundational force behind the rise of West Coast rap, he helped shape the sound of Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and gangsta rap itself. He received a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award as an official member of N.W.A. A car accident more than 35 years ago destroyed D.O.C’s vocal cords at the height of his powers - and in doing so, robbed hip hop of his talent as a rising star. A talent he believes can be resurrected with AI. In this conversation, The D.O.C discusses: - whether hip hop lost its greatest ever rapper - his role in shaping Dr Dre’s sound - his first thoughts of Eminem, Kendrick Lamar and lyrical greatness - AI recreating his voice - spirituality, loss, reinvention and purpose and why he believes his best work may still be ahead of him. This is a conversation about identity, legacy, creativity and what happens when the thing that defines you is suddenly taken away.

    The Accident Broke Her Body… But Forgiveness Changed Her Life

    Vanessa Ruck, also known as The Girl On A Bike, is a motorcycle racer, adventurer, speaker and content creator. After being hit by a car while cycling home in 2014, Vanessa was told her injuries were “just bruising.” In reality, the years that followed involved seven surgeries, chronic pain, PTSD, and the complete loss of the life she once knew. Today, she races motorcycles across some of the toughest environments on Earth, including the original Dakar route through Africa. In this conversation, we discuss trauma, forgiveness, chronic pain, motorcycles as therapy, resilience, motherhood, extreme endurance racing, and why Vanessa believes there is “no going back, only reinvention.” This is a conversation about rebuilding yourself after life falls apart.

    "I turned Everest Into a 13,000km Triathlon" - Mitch Hutchcraft on being Limitless

    In this episode, I sit down with record-breaking endurance adventurer, former Royal Marine and author Mitch Hutchcraft. Last year, Mitch completed a world-first 13,000 kilometre journey from the English Channel to the summit of Mount Everest. Allow me to break the absurdity of that down for you: He swam the Channel. He cycled across 18 countries. He ran hundreds of kilometres through India, and then - and only then - did he climb the highest mountain on Earth. We talk about ADHD, grief, losing his dad at 20 - and the promise Mitch made to him, the mindset behind extreme endurance, and why he believes most people massively underestimate what they’re capable of. This is a conversation about possibility, purpose, suffering, discipline, and redefining what “impossible” truly means.

    "I hated who I saw in the mirror" - Fit in Midlife's Jason Smith

    Jason Smith is a fitness coach, cover model and the founder of Fit in Midlife. At 49, Jason was drinking 2 to 3 bottles of wine a night, struggling with his health, and convinced his best years were behind him. He felt stuck, isolated, and like life had quietly passed him by. Then something unexpected happened. A simple post online triggered a complete shift in how he saw himself… and what was possible. Within months, he lost over 20kg, reversed serious health issues, and rebuilt his life from the ground up. He's since been on men's fitness magazines as a cover star, and continues to inspire hundreds of thousands of his followers on social media. In this conversation, we talk about loneliness in midlife, alcohol as a crutch, identity loss, and why so many people feel it’s “too late” to change. Jason explains what actually works when it comes to getting back in shape, why most fitness advice is overcomplicated, and how small daily actions can lead to massive transformation. This episode isn’t really even about fitness. It’s about starting again, when you think you it's too late.

    How to make a successful indie movie: Apnas, with co-directors Ashley Chin and Darren RL Gordon

    Set on the gritty streets of Manchester, APNAS follows a British Asian Mancunian pulled into a dangerous criminal world by his notorious uncle - and a brutal rivalry with his cousin pushes everything to breaking point I sit down with Ashley Chin and Darren RL Gordon, the co-directors of Apnas - a movie that launched with HUGE hype, with millions of people talking about it before it was even released in cinemas last month. We talked about their careers, and I asked: how is it possible to make and market a successful independent film from scratch? This is a proper behind-the-scenes look at what it actually takes to get a film made - from a simple idea and a conversation, to building a team, self-funding the project, and pushing it all the way to a UK-wide cinema release. But this goes beyond filmmaking. We get into why Apnas had to be made, what it means to tell stories that aren’t being told, and the importance of representation, identity and community. We talk about: how Apnas came together from the ground upthe challenges of funding and making an indie filmworking with first-time actors and building authenticitythe pressure of bringing a story like this to lifeand what it really takes to turn an idea into something real This is a conversation about creativity, persistence, and making something happen when there isn’t a clear path.

    From Peep Show to Purpose: an exclusive interview with Paterson Joseph

    In today's episode, I sit down with Paterson Joseph. You’ll know him as Johnson from Peep Show, but his career goes far beyond that. The Beach. Green Wing. Dr Who. Julius Caesar. Vigil. Wonka… nobody could ever accuse Paterson of playing the same character twice. We talk about what success actually means after a long career in acting, why he’s never chased fame, and how he measures success on his own terms. We get into his move into writing, including The Secret Diaries of Charles Ignatius Sancho and his children’s book Ten: Children That Changed the World, and why storytelling matters more than ever.

  7. “I was on fire, trapped in a burning tank… and nearly stayed” - Karl Hinett

    MAY 3

    “I was on fire, trapped in a burning tank… and nearly stayed” - Karl Hinett

    I was lucky enough to sit down with adventurer, long-distance athlete and all-round inspiration Karl Hinett. At 18 years old, Karl was deployed to Basra as an infantryman. During a riot, his tank was attacked with petrol bombs. Trapped inside, he was engulfed in flames. He describes it as feeling like he was underwater, in fire. Karl suffered burns to 37% of his body and was given a 20% chance of survival. What followed was years of surgeries, chronic pain, and a complete loss of identity. He went from having his life mapped out in the military, to not knowing who he was anymore. We talk about that moment inside the tank, the split-second decision to escape, and the point where he admits he considered not getting out at all. We also get into the aftermath. The isolation, the drinking, the thoughts of not wanting to be here anymore - and how his nan helped pull him back. Since then, Karl has rebuilt his life in extraordinary ways. Over 100 marathons, an Invictus Games silver medal, and a mindset that’s been forged through something most of us can’t even imagine. This is a conversation about survival, identity, and what it really takes to rebuild when everything is taken from you.

    The man making classical music cool again - Jack Bazalgette

    Today, I sit down with Jack Bazalgette, Artistic Director of Cheltenham Music Festival and founder of Through the Noise. Cheltenham Festivals are internationally renowned, and have been bringing household names and new talent to audiences since 1945. We talk about how music shapes us, why classical music isn’t “uncool” but perhaps badly marketed, and how Jack went from nearly being expelled at school to building a live music platform selling more than 100,000 tickets a year. We get into the power of live events, why storytelling sits at the heart of all music, and how the attention economy is changing the way we discover culture. Jack also explains how festivals like Cheltenham balance global stars with grassroots talent, and why bringing people together through music might matter more now than ever.
