There have been a lot of great interviews in British podcasting over the last week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The celebrated actor David Harewood<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>is on <\/strong>The Diary Of A CEO by Steven Bartlett<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>this week, talking about his career and his acclaimed book Maybe I Don\u2019t Belong Here<\/em>. In a wide-ranging and frank interview, he talked about how he was sectioned around the age of 23 and the stages he took to rebuild his life: \u201cThat\u2019s the weird thing about mental health and psychosis. You see somebody acting very strangely; somebody you love. It could be your son, your husband, your Mum. They start acting out of character, becoming obsessed with something. It\u2019s like they suddenly changed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know something is wrong and you desperately hope that they come back and sometimes you don\u2019t so you have to make that call to get them sectioned. And luckily for me, my friends had been there. If they hadn\u2019t been there I would have been in more trouble.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The model turned entrepreneur and UN Goodwill Ambassador Sabrina Elba<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>was on Beyond The Bathroom<\/strong><\/a>,<\/strong> a new podcast by the beauty writer Sali Hughes. It\u2019s a podcast about what you think when you look in the mirror and the routines we all should take: \u201cThere\u2019s a definite misconception that men\u2019s product needs to be dumbed down, but I think men actually want good stuff.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also on History Hit<\/strong><\/a>, <\/strong>Professor Hakim Adi joined Dan <\/strong>Snow to talk about the history of African and Caribbean people within the UK, weaving in stories throughout the Romans, Stuarts and Victorians. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWere Africans here before blonde hair, blue eyed Anglo-Saxon and Norse men?\u201d asked Snow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn a word, yes,\u201d responded Adi.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
