A Poetic Memoir – The Legacy

Recently, we lost our dear friend, Reverend Claudette Douglas, and this experience has reminded me just how precious life truly is. It’s a powerful reminder to focus on what truly matters and to let go of anything that doesn’t lift us or the people around us.  As Maya Angelou wisely said, 'I've always believed that one person can make a difference, and that person is you.' Our friend the Reverend Claudette Douglas embodied this belief fully, leaving a lasting impact through her warmth, strength, and kindness.

This episode is a repeat, and a celebration of Claudette's life story, told through a poetic memoir that captures her spirit and the difference she made in the world. She was a spirtitual warrior and cultural activist with a long history of campaigning for causes of social equality, racial justice, community cohesion and greater spiritual interaction between all people and cultures.  She was a playwright, director and author and in this episode she shares her life story through her book, Black, Blessed and British.

Football – We're Having Our Say (Part 2)

Welcome back to part two of our football special! Last time, we had a lively discussion around Manchester City’s ongoing legal saga, and today we’ll be concluding that conversation. We’re also taking a look back at some of the standout moments from last season and, of course, sharing our predictions on who we think will be crowned Premier League champions this year. I’m joined once again by three fantastic guests, Tony Okeke, a dedicated Manchester United supporter with a wealth of insight and a sharp eye for detail. Gary Taylor, a lifelong Tottenham fan, known for his balanced perspectives and unwavering optimism for his team.  Darrell Irwin, our go-to expert on all things Liverpool, whose deep understanding of the game always adds a new layer to the discussion. And as for me, I’ll do my best to remain impartial—but let’s see how that goes!
