  • Spender Matthews you are an alcoholic mate!

    The denial is obvious, masqueraded (badly) by pretentiousness. I mean he’s an oil broker! So he kept repeating to convince himself. I say, ask his wife, kids and closest friends let’s see what they have to say about his ‘moderate’ drinking.

  • Please stop interrupting guests

    I love listening to Davina’s podcast. She has such amazing guest but she constantly interrupts the guest to talk about herself and they lose their train of thought. I was so interested in Brian Cox’s interview but she constantly interrupted him and we would never hear the end of what he was talking about.

  • I tried

    I did. But it’s just more high street psychology. The latest one on boundaries - kept waiting for the guest to actually say something. Truth is the only thing she was saying was me me me - Buy my book for more ideas you can find everywhere. Sigh. The host - yet another high octane uber successful individual trying to sell us the idea she’s just like you and me. Likes being earnest for an hour now that’s she’s getting on a bit and gaining some reflection.
