Many people first discovered Rags through a viral video of him rapping in a car park while clearly battling serious addiction. What looked like a moment of madness to some became the turning point that changed his life. The clip spread across the internet and forced Rags to confront the path he was on.

Since then, he’s turned everything around.

Now clean and fully focused on his craft, Rags The Goat has become one of the most authentic voices in UK rap, often compared to Mike Skinner and The Streets for his raw storytelling, honesty and proper “geezer rap” style.

In this honest and powerful conversation, Rags opens up about the darkest moments of addiction, the viral video that changed everything, and how music helped him rebuild his life.

This is a real story about hitting rock bottom, finding your way back, and turning pain into purpose.

In this episode of The Terry Stone Connection, we sit down with professional fighter Paul Venis to talk about his journey through one of the most controversial corners of the internet, and why he’s finally decided to leave it behind.

Paul opens up about the online drama surrounding the so-called “Dark Corner” of YouTube, including tensions, fallouts and the ongoing back-and-forth involving figures like Brett May and Big Stacks. But this conversation goes much deeper than internet beef.

This is an honest, unfiltered conversation about loyalty, reputation, internet culture and what happens when online worlds spill over into real life.

Terry and Rap go way back to the early days of warehouse raves and all-night chaos. Terry was promoting. Rap was rising. It was a time when reputations were built on raw talent, graft and pure energy, and DJ Rap was right at the centre of it.

In this episode, she opens up about her wild journey. From a tough upbringing and broken homes to breaking records, touring the world, signing to Sony Music Entertainment, and even modelling for Calvin Klein. It’s a story of resilience, reinvention and refusing to be boxed in.

We dive into what the early jungle scene was really like, the pressure of being the only woman in the room, the highs of global success, the industry politics behind the scenes, and the personal challenges that come with fame.

This isn’t just a music story. It’s a story about breaking barriers, backing yourself, and surviving an industry that doesn’t always play fair.

Proper nostalgia. Proper laughs. Proper lessons.

We talk openly about my time playing Tony Tucker in Rise of the Footsoldier and how stepping into that world didn’t just stay on set. When you live and breathe a character long enough, it can start bleeding into real life. We discuss how intense roles can affect mindset, behaviour, relationships and even identity.

We also break down some of the most famous examples of method acting in Hollywood, from Jim Carrey’s many transformations, to Heath Ledger’s haunting portrayal of the Joker, and Daniel Day-Lewis’ legendary full-immersion performances. Where’s the line between dedication and obsession? And when does “commitment to the craft” become something darker?

This isn’t about criticising great performances, it’s about asking the bigger question... How far is too far?

Let us know your thoughts in the comments. Is method acting genius… or dangerous?

Once regarded as one of the most trusted faces in British broadcasting, Edwards was at the centre of some of the biggest news moments in UK history. But in 2023, his reputation came crashing down following allegations involving payments reportedly totalling £35,000 for images amongst many other allegations.

So what really happened?

In this reaction and breakdown, we give an honest take on the controversy, the media fallout, the BBC’s response, and how a respected news anchor became headline news himself. We explore the timeline, the public reaction, and the bigger questions about fame, accountability, and the pressure that comes with life in the spotlight.

This isn’t gossip, it’s a real conversation about power, reputation, media responsibility and how quickly everything can change.

Was this a personal failing? A media frenzy? Or something more complicated?
