  • McDonald’s and HSBC advertisers? Sort it out

    In disbelief that at the top of the episode for leading environmentalist Philip Lymbery (Farmageddon, Dead Zones) there is a McDonalds advert for a sausage sandwich breakfast. What an insult. Awful to advertise that regardless of who the guest is but I actually thought it was some kind of joke on this episode

  • Hold guests to account more please. Challenge

  • Adverts

    An opportunity to hear influential ‘global thinkers’ discuss deeply significant topics but - all credibility is lost when the discussions are interrupted by adverts for crypto currency and the gambling industry.

Marie Kondo - How to Live
Q: So when you first started writing your book, did you ever imagine it would become the global phenomenon it is today?
I never thought it would be this popular. I lived in Japan. I tidied in Japan. And when I was writing that first book, I hoped that people throughout Japan would tidy, but I never thought that it would reach the rest of the world like this.

Q: How do you look after your physical and mental health?
