The Quiet Part Loud Podcast

As a long time UFC fan, this was a particularly fun episode for me.

John has been the face of the UFC in the UK for 6 years and hosts Inside the Octagon with Dan Hardy. He is an encyclopedia of knowledge in MMA and it was great to speak with him about the upcoming UFC 249.

We also discussed how he's staying active during lockdown, family, watching Conor McGregor's ascension and his road to the UFC.

It was a real pleasure to speak with him and I hope you enjoy the episode.

In this episode, we are talking to Jim Grice; a lecturer in Broadcast Journalism at City University, London & Goldsmiths, Westminster and the University of East London. He is a long time friend and colleague.

With over 25 years of experience in media and journalism, Jim is expertly positioned to discuss the state of media in today's world, how fake news is pervading our discourse and how we can trust what any news/media outlets "report". We discuss the battle between journalistic integrity and clickbait monetisation as well as the reporting that has occurred during the COVID-19 crisis.

Jim is an amazingly generous person with a lot of insightful views on a range of subjects. It's always a pleasure to talk with Jim and this was a great makeup for our original conversation on episode 100.

Enjoy.

No guest this week but we're diving back into the subject dominating every news and media outlet across the world - Covid-19.

We take a slightly different approach to breaking down the reported numbers of infections and deaths. At the same time, we look at the financial implications of the bailout measures, the WHO's biases and what the world will look like post lockdown.

Lots of colourful language, so if you're easily offended by curse words...you've been warned.

Enjoy.

Yesterday, I spoke with Carol Vorderman ahead of her appearance on The Great British Bake Off.

We discussed her life long passion for education, her early years and the path that led her to create Mathsfactor, an online platform that inspires children to fall in love with numbers.

As the long time co-host of Countdown, we talk about how she saw learning as a way to a new life and how being a role model to young people and girls, in particular, has always been a guiding motivation in any endeavour she has found herself a part of.

It was a pleasure to sit down with a National Treasure, we had a lovely conversation and play a little Q&A game at the end.

Enjoy.

Today, we sit down with Tony Lazare; Founder of the London Basketball Association. We talk about Tony's mission to democratise basketball around the UK, the support needed to grow the sport and the amazing progress that's been made so far.

We discuss the positive community impact the LBA is having, the lack of government funding available, and the drive it takes to sustain a charity when the benefits of basketball are not understood by those in power.

Basketball is one of the most inclusive sports in the world, is the second most played team sport in the UK and has the lowest cost entries making its socio-economic diversity unparalleled.

it's a great conversation and we have a little fun at the end.

Enjoy.

Films, frothy pints and fun times are what you're getting today.

A couple of weeks ago I sat down in The Rugby tavern in central London with a good friend of mine to do what we always do; talk shit, have some beers and discuss movies. It was just as the Coronavirus was entering the UK and we start with that.

Afterwards, it's off to the races. We go from Uncut Gems to Paul Newman, play a little quiz and I give Rick the "Inside the Actors Studio" questionnaire.

This episode was a ton of fun! We plan to do more so if you enjoy it, let us know and we'll keep them coming.

Enjoy!

Today we're talking with Nick and Rob of Geeky Blinders. Two brothers from Devon in the UK that started a custom shoe design business that went from a side hobby to now designing for some of the world's top comedians and athletes.

We discuss how they got started, what the motivation was to take the business to the next level and how their work with some famous entertainers created a tipping point that allowed them to do what they love, creating custom footwear, full time.
