    Serendipity in Stockholm: EMI Music Industry Legend, Sven Ake Peterson

    Imagine sitting down at a gig in Stockholm, striking up a conversation with the person next to you, and realising you’re talking to a man who didn't just witness music history—he helped package and sell it. From the tactile era of vinyl to the invisible world of streaming, he’s seen it all. Today’s episode is a special one. It’s the result of a chance meeting at a Quint Starkie gig with a man named Sven Ake Peterson. Sven spent his entire career as a music executive for EMI in Sweden. We’re talking about a career spent in the company of icons—David Bowie, Paul McCartney, Tina Turner—but more than that, we’re talking about the soul of the industry. We dive into the transition from physical records to the digital age, what it actually takes to 'make it,' and where the music world is heading next.  Beyond the industry talk, this conversation is a testament to why you should always talk to strangers. You truly never know what you might learn or whose hand you’re shaking. Here is my conversation with the incredibly warm and insightful, Sven Ake Peterson. Question or comment?

    A Little History of The Earth in 45 Minutes: Jamie Woodward

    How do you tell the story of 4.5 billion years of Earth’s history in a way that’s engaging and easy to understand? In this episode, I talk with Jamie Woodward, Professor of Physical Geography at the University of Manchester about his book A Little History of the Earth. Jamie explains how scientists piece together the planet’s deep past—from the formation of the universe to the shifting of continents, the age of dinosaurs, and the powerful forces that have shaped our landscapes. We discuss why Earth has always been a dynamic planet, how short “bite-sized” chapters can make big history accessible, and what studying deep time can teach us about today’s environmental challenges. If you’re curious about geology, natural history, and the story of our planet, this episode offers a fascinating introduction to Earth’s epic past. 🌍 Highlights From Our Conversation Why Jamie chose to tell the story of Earth through short, bite-sized chaptersHow scientists reconstruct events that happened billions of years agoThe dramatic forces that shaped Earth: plate tectonics, volcanoes, ice ages, and asteroid impactsThe rise and fall of the dinosaursHow rivers, glaciers, and oceans sculpt the landscape we live inWhy Earth’s climate has changed dramatically throughout historyThe concept of the Anthropocene — and why humans are now a geological forceHow learning Earth’s story can make us more curious and more responsible about the planet’s future Link to Jamie's Book 'A Little History of The Earth.'
