What listeners will find here

Why Britain’s overlooked towns might be your next best trip
Chris Moss makes the case for swapping bucket-list hotspots for Wolverhampton, Harwich and Gillingham. This episode pairs that anti-tourist travel chat with apocalypse-prep testing, a look at Locktober, and a new Johnny Marr single.
A survivor revisits the aftermath of rape, trauma, and the justice system
Rape and its aftermath are at the center of this remastered interview with Martha Adam. She talks with Olly about reporting the assault, enduring courtroom questioning, and how the experience reshaped her daily life, relationships, and sense of self.
A nurse’s whistleblowing ordeal anchors a wide-ranging episode on power, cars and sex
Whistleblowing in the NHS is the heart of this episode, as nurse Bernadette Rochford describes the personal cost of raising concerns at work. It also packs in a look at low-cost Chinese EVs, a test drive in the Microlino, and practical advice on oral sex and communication.
Manny Waks on abuse, faith, exile, and confronting the men who harmed him
Child sexual abuse within Melbourne’s Yeshiva Centre is the focus of this intense conversation with Manny Waks. He describes being groomed, abused, disbelieved and shunned, and reflects on leaving Hasidic Judaism, later confronting one abuser and seeing another sentenced.
Inside a hostage negotiator’s playbook for staying calm under extreme pressure
Hostage negotiation is the focus here, as Scott Walker shares what he learned helping families through kidnappings and later dealing with pirates and organised crime. The episode also covers humane rat control, disease risks around rodents, and a difficult dating-ethics dilemma with a content warning for sexual violence.
