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 NOTABLE NAMES ON PODCASTS THIS WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you have listened to a great guest on a podcast, let us know by filling in <\/strong>this form<\/strong><\/a> and it might get featured in an upcoming newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here are our podcast picks for the week ahead<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you want your podcast featured, or you have a great recommendation, all you need to do is fill in this <\/strong>simple form<\/strong><\/a> and might get featured in a future newsletter.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Black British Lives Matter –<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>A new podcast hosted by Sir Lenny Henry and Marcus Ryder, who have teamed up to make a new book and podcast that reflects what it means to be Black in Britain today. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Each episode explores a different topic, starting with an engaging and informative discussion on Black British fashion and identity, joined with the writer and thinker Afua Hirsch, the fashion icon Ozwald Boateng and the academic Carol Tulloch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAll of us share a cultural heritage in which style, hair, fashion and heritage are all completely intermeshed,\u201d says Hirsh. \u201cIf you look at all of the cultures on the African continent, the way that you style and present yourself is the most powerful expression of your individual identity, your group identity, your region, your faith, your culture, your language. It\u2019s such a foundational part of the human experience.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Off Air with Jane and Fi<\/strong><\/a> – <\/strong>Is the best way to say it Fi and Jane? Or is it Jane and Fi? Regardless, the broadcasters Jane Garvey and Fi Glover started their own Times Radio programme last week. And with that, comes a new daily podcast from the radio station that is recorded the moment they come off air. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The new daily podcast means that they get to have a bit more of the relaxed conversational style, away from the timed limitations of a radio show where you may have to throw a certain item to or a news headline at any given moment. It is also an opportunity to listen to interviews you may have missed on the radio, with guests during the first week including Jess Phillips and Tim Peake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you were a fan of Fortunately<\/strong><\/a>, never fear. For that podcast (with Fi and Jane rather tha Jane and Fi) will still be running into the end of the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
