    My views on domestic abuse

    This podcast is a deeply personal reflection on witnessing the effects of domestic abuse through my mother's experience. I share how her journey has shaped my understanding of abuse, resilience, and the lasting impact it can have on individuals and families. My intention is to raise awareness, encourage honest conversations, and remind listeners that domestic abuse affects more than just the person experiencing it. This is a story of pain, strength, and hope, told from my own perspective, with the aim of helping others feel seen, understood, and inspired to speak out against abuse.

    Is Masculinity a Bad Thing

    In this video, I share my thoughts on the difference between healthy masculinity and toxic masculinity, and why I believe the two are too often confused. After watching a recent documentary, it got me thinking about what it means to be a man in today's society. I discuss traditional masculine values such as responsibility, protecting your family, practical skills, respect, and self-reliance, while also explaining why abusive behaviour, misogyny and violence have nothing to do with being a real man. I also give my views on: The difference between masculinity and toxic masculinitySocial media influencers and their impact on young menAndrew Tate and "alpha male" cultureRespect for women and healthy relationshipsWhether modern society has changed expectations of menWhy strength and kindness can go hand in handThis is an opinion piece, and I'd genuinely like to hear your thoughts.

    Why Do Men Cheat?

    Why do men cheat? Is it really just about sex, or are there deeper emotional and psychological reasons behind infidelity?

    Is A Mum A Bad Mum If She Stops A Dad From Seeing His Kids For No Reason?

    Is A Mum A Bad Mum If She Stops A Dad From Seeing His Kids For No Reason? In this video, I share my honest thoughts on a topic that causes a lot of debate and strong emotions. I talk about a post I saw online, real-life situations I’ve personally witnessed, and my own experiences growing up without a father — and later, being a father who was stopped from seeing his own child. This isn’t about attacking women or men. It’s about discussing parental responsibility, selfish behaviour, and the long-term impact on children when one parent cuts the other out of their lives without genuine cause. I also talk about: When stopping contact may be justified When it becomes about control rather than the child The emotional damage caused to children Why this issue isn’t gender-specific Personal accountability and difficult truths This video is meant to spark open, respectful discussion. Everyone will have a different opinion, and that’s okay. Let me know your thoughts in the comments: 👉 Does this happen often? 👉 Is it selfish behaviour? 👉 Who really suffers in the end?

    Is There Anything In Paranormal Investigations

    Have you ever wondered whether paranormal investigations actually prove anything? In this video, I share my honest thoughts after taking part in more than 50 paranormal investigations over the years. From visits to alleged haunted locations including Fort Widley, the Ragged School Museum, East Drive and Wymering Manor, I discuss the strange experiences I've had, the moments that made me question what I was seeing, and why I'm still undecided about whether ghosts and the paranormal truly exist. In this episode, I talk about: My first experiences with the paranormal. Why I started going on ghost investigations. The most memorable locations I've visited. Strange events that I still can't fully explain. Why many paranormal experiences may have logical explanations. Whether I believe in ghosts, spirits and the afterlife. This video is based on my personal experiences and opinions. I'm not claiming proof of paranormal activity—just sharing what I've witnessed over many years of investigating reportedly haunted locations. What do you think? Have you ever experienced something you couldn't explain? Do you believe in ghosts, spirits or the paranormal? Let me know your thoughts and experiences in the comments below.
