- #016 Wendy Joseph KC - Why justice fails
Her Honour Wendy Joseph KC is an author, broadcaster, and a former Judge at the Old Bailey in London.
What does the public misunderstand about our criminal justice system? What makes juries so important? And why is there a danger of injustice in the age of “trial by social media”?Why do we actually send people to prison? And why are we sending so many young people to prison for so long?
Lucy Letby, Axel Rudakubana, Valdo Calocane. Why does our society seem to be producing more villains than ever before?

Email: [email protected]1 hr 38 min - #013 - Moral Dilemmas, Are we bad people?
Today, Ted and Harry dive into a selection of moral dilemmas and tough ethical questions that challenge the way we see ourselves and others.
From saving drowning children to killing for money, and even designing designer babies — this episode takes you deep into a morally complex landscape. Along the way, we reflect on ethical consistency, moral absolutism, and Utilitarian criticism, including stories like The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas.
But this isn't just philosophy for the sake of it — it's all part of our broader journey into self-awareness, decision-making, and becoming better people. Whether you're into self improvement books or you're just learning the art of effective communication, these dilemmas will make you think differently about how you act in the real world.
So listen in, play along with us, and ask yourself: what would you do?

Today’s episode is all about friendship - how we form it, how we keep it, and mistakes we often make along the way.
Platonic, romantic, and everything in between - we’re digging into the psychology and personal experience behind connection: why we crave it, how we sabotage it, and what we can do to build more of it in a world that often feels isolating.
Expect to learn why being yourself is the best way of attracting the right people into your life, why performing in social groups is not just exhausting but disingenuous, and what it actually means to “find yourself” - and why that’s where all good relationships start.

45 min - #011 - Time Management, Productivity, Choosing Regrets and Delaying Gratification
Young people have a whole lives ahead of them. We will all have to make lots of difficult decisions.
Where to live, who to marry, what sort of job we might want… all questions which need to be answered.
Opportunity is both a blessing and a curse - we have so much time to spend, but what is the best way of spending it?
Expect to learn when we ought to delay gratification and when it might just be a good idea to enjoy ourselves. Expect to discover Ted and Harry’s ideas about the sort of things worth spending your time on, and the sorts of things which often leave you feeling like you’ve wasted time.
These decisions will be hard to make, but hopefully this episode gets you thinking about when to explore and when to exploit, to push harder and when to relax, and - most importantly - an insight into why these questions matter so much.

40 min - #009 - Summer Shredding: How to Diet Properly
The sun has just started to come out in the UK, and we can’t wait for days at the beach as it starts to stay light outside for longer.
We’ll inevitably be inundated with jacked instagram influencers flexing at a boat party in Zante, and look down at our own wobbly insufficiencies with a sense of existential dread.
Fortunately, there is a time to get in shape before the summer is in full swing, and it is perhaps even more fortunately - you can lose fat a lot faster than you can build muscle.
So, if you’ve taken the bulk to far and get out of breath going up the stairs, we have got you covered…

39 min - #007 Meet the Host - Ted Brankin
Ted has already interviewed Harry - in this episode, Harry returns the favour.
In this episode, you can expect to learn who Ted is, who he wants to be, how his drive differs to Harry’s, and his greatest sources of happiness.
To be honest, this episode isn’t really about Ted at all… but then, Harry’s introductory episode wasn’t really about him, either. Maybe that’s just what you get when you take two people who prefer to talk about ideas rather than themselves and watch them try to interview each other…
