1 hr - THE SEX WORKER
Nikita is a 28-year-old woman who has worked in the sex industry for ten years. Now recently retired from sex work, we chat about how her experiences have influenced the way she sees the world and the people that inhabit it, how she copes with the things that have happened to her, and offers some practical advice to men who insist on having objects put up their bum.
This is Nikita. This is her story.

1 hr 2 min - THE DATING COACHWe sit down with Denny/Denzel Jones, who has been a dating coach for The School of Attraction after he himself graduated from the programme years ago. In an open and honest discussion we discuss, among many other things, the reasons why some men might find the need to access such a course, and the role dating apps and social media have impacted the very humanistic notion of introducing yourself to someone you find attractive.

43 min - THE BRAIN DOCTORWe sit down with Tabish, a neurologist in a top London hospital. We try to understand how the brain works, what dementia means in a physical sense, what headaches are, what dreams are, the impact of concussion, plus what happens as we get older and the brain no longer works in the way it should.

52 min - MONEY, OPPORTUNITY AND BEESWe sit down with Matt, a friend of The Fighting Cock podcast, an Englishman who has made a successful career in mortgages in the US. He went to America with no money, working for a charity, he met a girl, and got a temp job. From that point 15 years ago, he finds himself in a world where he deals with people who are very wealthy. We delve into the idea of wealth, taking opportunities when presenting with them, and the difficulties that come with expectation. And then we talk about bees.

1 hr 18 min - A WAY TO CURE ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION
Apologies for the sound issues you might notice through this podcast
We sit down with Human Givens therapist Elaine, who works to cure people of the 'normal' difficulties that so many of us suffer with. A lot of what we talk about may sound evangelical, but it comes from a place of honesty, with a genuine drive to help people who may be struggling. It's good to talk.

54 min - THE WAR NURSEWe speak with Emily who considered it her calling to be a nurse. While the NHS would typically be where most nurses end up, Emily was destined for the military, and with it Afghanistan. This is her story.

56 min - PSYCHEDELIC THERAPY
In this episode we talk comedian Carl Donnelly about how, during his twenties, he found himself married to a woman he no longer loved, and living a life no longer wanted to lead. He needed change. Unbeknown to him at the time, psychedelic drug use was offering him a way out - in more ways than one. This is his story.
*This episode contains candid discussion about drug use. It's not big or clever, everyone's experiences are different, and we take several opportunities throughout this discussion to underline the fact that taking any drug can have a massively detrimental impact on your life.

About No Holds Barred Interviews
From the publisher's feed
Welcome to No Holds Barred. This is the first series of conversations I’ve had with ordinary people who have lived extraordinary lives. I started recording these podcasts way back in March 2020, just…
after the first lock down happened. Some of the conversations you hear will be a snap shot of the time, specially the episodes where I spoke with nurses that worked directly on COVID wards during the first and second waves of the virus, or BLM movements, and other conversations are more ever green, like the podcast with adult film star Shona Rivers, or Mustafa who was on the tube train that was blown up on the London bombings in 2007.Whatever your interests there will be something the twenty odd conversations that you will find interesting. If you enjoy any of it please share with people you know.
