  • Disappointing

    Callan’s Kicks is wonderful. I even like Oliver on Radio 4 but this show has no structure or substance and that’s not part of it’s charm. It meanders but not in a good way. Either fix it or remove it. Oliver has a lot of talent but not on this show.

Gordo describes a spectrum of moon conspiracies, including a Nazi base on the far side, the idea that the moon may be artificial, and the way historical events and absence of definitive proof fuel ongoing speculation, while noting the role of mainstream media and AI in shaping perceptions.
Kaleb Cooper from Clarkson's Farm
Q: What inspired you to get into farming and how did it shape you?
Kaleb attributes farming to saving him during a family split, describing how it built his work ethic, business sense, and identity.
Good People by Patmeena Sabit
Q: Did you feel pressure from your community or family about portraying these topics in a certain way?
She discusses the pressures and nuances of representing a real community authentically, acknowledging the complexity and the danger of oversimplifying or judging without hearing all voices.
Good People by Patmeena Sabit
Q: Is there an agreed-upon definition of what an honour killing is?
