Joining us today is a broadcasting legend who has been at the forefront of British journalism for over four decades. From print to radio, and even the mayhem that is live TV, he’s held power to account with his no-nonsense style and unwavering wit: it’s the incomparable Nick Ferrari!

Something from the Cellar: International Men’s Day

Today, in honour of International Men’s Day and World Suicide Prevention Day, we’re revisiting some of our most powerful conversations with some remarkable men who’ve opened up so candidly about their mental health journeys. From breaking stigmas to finding strength in vulnerability, these stories are the epitome of resilience. First, psychotherapist Owen O’Kane reflects on his deeply personal experiences growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles as a gay Irish Catholic man and how opening up to a therapist - an Irish Catholic nun, no less - helped him break free from what he calls the "holy trinity of shame." Next, SAS star Jason Fox shares his transformation from being sceptical of therapy to finding life-changing support through clinical psychology, thanks to the encouragement of a boss during one of his darkest periods. Finally, chart-topping singer Tom Grennan reveals how embracing fitness has been a game-changer for his mental health, giving him not just a new outlook but also a supportive gym community that feels like family. We hope this episode inspires you to start your own conversations. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please call Samaritans for 24/7 emotional support on 116 123.

Gino D’Acampo on running an empire, being underestimated, and having no regrets

Joining us today is a man working in rarefied TV air - a presenter, chef, author and personality who captures the public’s attention like few else. It’s the legendary Gino D’Acampo! Gino dials in for a chat about living life to its absolute fullest, from his years wowing diners and entertaining the public from behind stovetops across the world, to inadvertently stumbling in on orgies and changing his middle name to “Sheffield” as part of a chaotic stint on Celebrity Juice. But it’s fair to say that Gino is a more layered, thoughtful man than the public’s perception of him might suggest. Because behind the outlandish court jester everyone has come to love is a savvy businessman, a nurturing father and a philosophical thinker who doesn’t care what show you’re offering or how big the paycheque is - if it encroaches on his principles (or his Sardinian holiday), he’s not interested. Get yourself a copy of Gino's new air fryer cookbook right here!
