Podcast | Everything you Need to Know about Injustice. From the man who spent 12 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit.
Raphael Rowe has every right to be the most bitter man in Britain. Convicted for a crime he didn’t commit, despite eye-witness evidence that couldn’t have possibly put him near the scene of the crime, Raphael spent 12 years in prison with no hope of parole. While his story is jaw-dropping, it’s actually Raphael’s resolve, how he maintained hope and how he has been able to make peace with what happened to him and more forward positively. If you listen to our conversation, you can’t hear an ounce of hate, regret or bitterness in his voice and I wonder if I’d be able to be the same if I had walked in his shoes. Could you?Hey!

There's More to Keeley Hazell than her Tits | Confessions of a Page 3 Girl
You could be fooled into thinking Keeley Hazell’s memoir, Everyone’s Seen My Tits, would be a nostalgic romp through the Noughties, featuring salacious gossip and saucy behind-the-scenes insights from a time when the Red Tops - the tabloid newspapers - loomed large. What you actually get is a soul-bearing account of what it was like to grow up in a tough environment, both behind closed doors and on the streets of South East London, navigating revenge porn before people really knew was revenge porn was and what it was like to have the world open up to you in ways you could have never imagined only for the way you’d made that happen be the reason that all the doors you wanted to open, seemed firmly locked to you.As soon as I started reading Keeley’s book, I found it a challenge to put it down. I was hooked. I was stunned by the honesty and, more than once, was waiting for the bit at the end of the chapter where she either apologised for her feelings or somehow minimised them to make her real feelings more palatable for an audience. Spoiler alert - that moment never came. And it was this that made me admire her and enjoy the book even more. She welcomed me, the reader, into her circle of trust. So, I couldn’t wait to interview her and, as you’ll hear, she’s as unedited and unreserved in person as she is in the book. Buy Keeley's book here: Everyone's Seen My Tits.Hey!

Podcast | If you had three wishes, what would you wish for?
The world feels pretty divided right now, doesn’t it? I’m convinced the mere fact so many people feel comfortable listening to music without headphones on public transport is a sign of the apocalypse.When it can often feel as though we’re surrounded by conflict, injustice and hatred, we are all people who fundamentally want the same things. That’s what Anjali Kumar discovered when she went on a search to find God. In her book Stalking God: My Unorthodox Search for Something to Believe In, she stumbled across something truly fascinating about what human beings want, need and desire. How she came about this was, as you’ll hear in our conversation, a happy accident but it was the beginning of a truly inspiring journey.Hey!
