 Now over nine years since her untimely death, Amy Winehouse remains one of the most culturally significant British figures since the turn of the century. With the flawed genius of the conflicted songwriter much publicised, The Michael Anthony Show is joined by the father of the six time grammy winner, Mitch, in this week's show.


 Cab driver turned singer, the sixty-nine year old Winehouse recalls his enigmatic daughter's childhood, musical rise, battles with addiction and eventual tragic death, an event that inspired the heartbroken Londoner to begin The Amy Winehouse Foundation, an organisation that has provided key support to disadvantaged and vulnerable young people for almost a decade.


 Mitch also discusses the media, the negative suggestions made about his relationship with Amy following the release of Asif Kapadia's 2015 documentary 'Amy', his own musical endeavours and his love of Tottenham Hotspur.

The 94th Episode of The Michael Anthony Show sees legendary cricketer Monty Panesar display why he is not just regarded as one of the best spin bowlers of the twenty first century, but also one of the game's true characters. Out of fear of falling asleep, the technicalities of cricket itself are relatively ignored throughout, as the first Sikh ever to represent an English team at international level opens up on his faith, sex, alcohol and the 'Monty Mania' of the mid 2000's, in which the two-time ashes winner achieved global fame as a face of hope for young South Asians worldwide.


 The Bollywood biopic based on Panesar's life, mental health, politics, racism and more are discussed throughout, as the amusing thirty-eight year old weighs up his future. He also explains his almost unrealistically bad batting average, as he teaches us all that nothing should be taken too seriously.

This week on The Michael Anthony Show, the inspirational Doddie Weir shares his story that has seen the former British and Irish Lion fight the incurable Motor Neurons Disease for the past four years. Retiring from international rugby with sixty one caps in 2000, the six foot six Weir was enjoying his new life both professionally and as a father, until a series of twitches and continuous muscle wasting sent the Scotsman to his doctor.

Informed that his days of walking would be over within a year, before his speech and entire body would eventually give in to the unforgiving disease, the legendary second row was not expected to see 2020. But Weir knows only how to fight, and as he continues to not only walk and talk, the foundation that began under his name in 2017 continues to strive, raising just short of five million pounds with the goal of finding out more about this mysterious condition.

In this Episode, Weir opens up about the day to day struggles of living with an illness that does not leave survivors, and as life becomes more and more challenging for him physically, mentally the former Newcastle Falcon is as strong as ever. Hope is something that Doddie will not lose, and self-victimisation has never been an option. Although the underdog, this "mad giraffe" will never stop competing.

The 90th episode of The Michael Anthony Show sees iconic music executive Alan McGee chat about his fascinating life in which the Glaswegian left his abusive home at sixteen, before creating one of the biggest record labels in the history of British music. 

Drug abuse, working with Oasis and The Libertines, politics, mental health, the music industry and phone hacking are all discussed as the once homeless McGee touches on the upcoming Irvine Welsh biopic based on how the father of Creation Records went from having one O Level to being recruited by Tony Blair for the 1997 general election, whilst being perhaps the most influential figure of the historic Britpop movement.

In this week's episode, The Michael Anthony Show is joined by former Manchester United defender Danny Simpson. Having failed to make the grade at his boyhood club, Simpson's fascinating career saw him ply his trade at numerous clubs around England. Although successful stints at clubs like Newcastle and QPR portrayed the Eccles' native's obvious quality and ever present desire to win games as learned in the famed United academy, the void left by departing a team that saw him rub shoulders with the likes of Rooney, Ronaldo and Carlos Tevez seemed like one that would never be filled. 

Approaching what many deemed to be the tail end of his career, Simpson made his way to the King Power Stadium and with the club narrowly avoiding relegation under Nigel Pearson in his first season with the foxes, new manager Claudio Ranieri entered the fold in 2015. The Italian didn't hesitate to let Simpson know that he was far from in his plans and having spent the first eight weeks of the now iconic 2015/2016 season playing with the kids, the seemingly washed up right back seemed to be falling by the wayside of an underwhelming career. 

The 'Tinkerman' Ranieri had a vision however, and after a meeting with Simpson in which the wiley Italian admitted his shortcomings in analysing the Mancunian, the world of Danny Simpson, just like the beautiful game as a whole, would never be the same again. Leicester, in what will perhaps always be the most ridiculous sporting story of all time, became champions of England. As opposed to lifting the famous trophy in front of an adoring Stretford End, Simpson's moment came alongside teammates considered finished, not good enough. In an era of one hundred million pound players, the foxes ran England with a twenty eight million pound team. In a feat so unlikely that it undoubtedly left the realm of sport, this group of footballers changed the world. 

In a revealing episode, Danny Simpson revisits this period and also opens up on other aspects of his unique career. Working under Sir Alex Fergsuon, his views on his good friend Ravel Morrison, the benefits of knowing Ronaldo, player power, social media and his spat with Jamie Carragher are all discussed during this open conversation, as the uncapped right back shares his views on the current Manchester United set up and remembers the tragic helicopter crash of 2018 involving Leicester owner Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha.
