  • Louis is king

    I love this podcast. It allows Louis to let his silly side show more, which I really missed over the more serious documentaries he was making. I like that it’s a two way conversation. Sometimes he does cover old ground too much, but in general, this is too Louis action. Best podcast!

  • Awful adverts

    The ads are really intrusive. They are repetitive and irritating. They go on and on and are repeated ad nauseam. The same over and over. Tedious listening.

  • Carr Crash

    Was really disgusted with what an easy ride Louis gave Jimmy Carr on a recent episode. Carr says it’s ok to play a lucrative comedy show in Saudi Arabia because he likes “the direction of travel” the country is going in. This direction of travel is the death penalty for being gay and dismembering journalists and throwing them down a well. You don’t question this at all Louis? You’re as bad as Rogan.

S7 EP1: Boris Becker on encountering Diddy, mind-games with Nadal and his spell in prison

It helped that I wasn't immediately treated as a celebrity; they saw me as a person who needed protection, and I tried not to rely on status but on smart, calm decisions for safety.
S7 EP1: Boris Becker on encountering Diddy, mind-games with Nadal and his spell in prison
Q: What would you say were the set of skills you needed to survive in prison?
