Comedian and professional worrier Jon Richardson doesn’t sleep much at night. The questions he is asking himself in the small, dark hours see to that. Are we going to run out of food? Is it already too late to stop climate change? Should I start learning Mandarin? Are killer death robots from the future already among us? Will my kids grow up to see a real tiger or giraffe? Why hasn’t anyone yet ma... more

  • Ed and Mark.

    Ed and Mark are indescribably bad and make Jon look relatively normal with their cringeworthy descriptions of their self righteous lives of giving advice to others and battles with mental health and self analysis. I probably should just listen to Jon’s other podcasts. I would like to go to his pub (for a bit) just to beat him at darts, pool, trivia, countdown quiz machine and general pub going knowledge but I am probably barred by now. Unsubscribing especially after I looked at Ed and Mark’s web... more

  • Well

    Turn up for the doom and dread but then find yourself engrossed in how to fix stuff. You’ll have quotes a plenty to tell your colleagues and by just doing one thing, you are probably helping more than the politicians!

  • All things considered, it was a fantastic and enlightening experience that allowed me to get my money back from an online investment platform that had tricked me into investing with their fictitious business before I discovered their strategy. I had already paid absurdly large withdrawal fees of $45,000 under the terms of the agreement that nobody had informed me about, so it was too late for me after I invested a sum $389,250. The damage had been done, and I was in too deep to just walk away, s... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

S06 EP4: The Most Wonderful Tim of the Year
Q: In 2008, you were critical of the state of entrepreneurship in the UK. Do you think we've got any better at it since then?
Tim Smit feels Britain hasn't improved much concerning entrepreneurship, as financiers are often more risk-averse, ultimately stifling innovation.
S06 EP4: The Most Wonderful Tim of the Year
Q: If you could change one social norm overnight, what would it be?
Tim Smit argues one should ban the idea that giving a goat for Christmas is a good present, as goats are destructive and people give them without understanding their impact.
S06 EP2: They think it’s all Clover!
Q: How did you convince your entire family to move to Indonesia?
I relentlessly lobbied, emphasizing that I wanted to learn skills to solve real problems, presenting it as a choice for the family.
S06 EP2: They think it’s all Clover!
Q: How do you stop yourself just completely giving in to frustration and anger?
It's because you don't have a choice; the urgency demands action, regardless of outcomes.
