This August, as a newly crowned ‘future-shaper’ by Time magazine,

Pick One Number

Annual UK migration figures. A spicy subject for the ‘island monkey’ ‘rosbifs’ of Europe. The debate is regrettably lose-lose. Whichever side you’re on – and there is nothing resembling a fence on this – there is a figure for you. Your social media ‘echo chamber’ of choice resounds to the horror

What's In Your Perfect Burger?

[https://salespodder.com/content/images/wordpress/2015/08/9layerwagyubeefburger-GR.jpg] I love burgers. Sadly though, like many of us, I must restrict myself.

No Fear For Hunted Swimming World Champ

Team GB just enjoyed their best ever swimming world championship medal haul. Starman Adam Peaty broke a world record and won three Golds. Homeland media coverage is huge. Especially following the revelation from his proud Mother. As a baby he was petrified of the water. He shared what he considered

Speed Is The Enemy Of Truth

Another week, another American police street gun battle, a town in lockdown. In the aftermath of renewed riots in a place called Ferguson, I caught the remarks of Ed Flynn.
