Why do Australians always win knockout games? Why do Australians display a 'never say never' attitude? What is their secret ingredient that consistently produces champion players, from Allan Border's team in 1987, which lifted the trophy for the first time, to Pat Cummins' team, which secured the trophy for the sixth time? What is in the soil of Western Australia that consistently produces cricketing greats like Bruce Reid, Dennis Lillee, Justin Langer, Nathan Lyon, and many others questions like this. To answer all these questions, today I am having a conversation with Aussie sports podcaster Regan Spear, who hosts shows called 'Sports Wrap' and co-hosts 'Sunday Debrief Podcast.' I am all set to deliver fiery questions to him, and he is ready to hit all the questions out of the park with his answers. Enjoy the show!

Peeps it's all here!!! Graham Brady political career started as a Member of Parliament (MP) in 1997 when he was elected as the Conservative MP for Altrincham and Sale West. Over the years, Brady built a reputation as a reliable figure within the party. And then came a big turn when he became a chairman of the 1922 Committee and held the Conservative government together many times, especially when things were not going well within the camp. He was certainly a key figure behind the scenes of the Conservative Party for over 14 years. The prestigious 1922 Committee, representing backbench MPs, is one of the most influential groups within the party, and Brady played a significant role in ensuring that the voices of these MPs were heard. Not just a figurehead; he was a mediator, a sounding board, and often the person who helped navigate the tricky waters between the party leadership and its members. Now here on the show he is all set to reveal tons of secrets that he wrote in his new book Kingmaker: Secrets, Lies, and the Truth about Five Prime Ministers. In it, he shares many secrets, offering insights from his early life to working with five former UK Prime Ministers. Do listen to the episode, and certainly read Brady’s book—you won't find a better way to understand the UK political scene.

Introduction Few days back, I called one of my closest friends, and we were planning for a Diwali function. Suddenly, she popped up with an idea and said, Dude, let's do a show! I was initially confused and, in a very subtle tone, replied, Okay... but what will we discuss? She said, “Just the Northeast, just Mizoram, and just Aizawl!” So, Aishna Victor Singh, the founder of Eastern Sky Podcast, who is doing a fantastic job with her niche, is now joining us for this episode. And trust me, we did a crazy episode! Before we finished, we felt it needed more fun , or let’s say, puns , so the "resourceful" guy from our IIMC Aizawl college, Namit Bathla, is here as well. For peeps who doesn’t know Namit, beware of his poor jokes (okay, okay, even I make PJs too!). Enough said – come on, jump into the show! You’ll experience just magical sounds, our stories, our experiences in the Northeast, and why other parts of the country or media are still not giving the Northeast the attention it deserves.

Dutch top psychiatrist on increasing divorce rates, sugar intake & placebo effect 46:27

35 weeks тому46:27

46:27

Introduction We often face situations where we want to put our best foot forward and not hide our emotions, saying what we have in mind. For example, I used to get bullied in school but didn’t have the courage to speak up against it. As a result, school never gave me any joy; I used to hate going. Now, looking back, I realise it was my mistake—I should have told someone about what I was going through. Anyway, today I’m talking to one of the best psychiatrists, Cees Baees. I believe many people are like me; they need help and want to express themselves but lack the courage to do so. Cees and I had a wonderful conversation, touching on various issues, from ADHD and the use of caffeine to the rising divorce rates and whether we are living life the way we truly want to. This episode is one where I've truly put my heart into the most. I encourage you to listen, as I believe it could resonate with many. Also, before we press the start button, let’s get to know more about Cees Baees. He is one of the best in the field of psychiatry, although he modestly claims otherwise. Living in the Netherlands, Cees has been practising for over 20 years and has written some of the best documentary scripts, which is why he often says, "I’m a psychiatrist who's winning writing awards."…

Privileged, blessed, & loss for words When I first texted John Martin to invite him to my guest show, I was a bit nervous. But very gracefully, the legend accepted my request and agreed to come on the show. And then, what happened? He came and charmed the show just like he does on a comedy stage. For those who aren't aware of who John Martin is, his name is in the Guinness World Record for telling jokes for 101 hours and 39 minutes straight. He was also the UK's first government-sponsored comedian. Not only that, his prolific writing has been praised by many. Also the author of some amazing books, including I Want To Be A Comedian, Mr. Tarbuck, which is partly an autobiography also based on his time with Sir Kenneth Arthur Dodd, another legendary UK comedian. But he didn’t stop there. His book, The Mirror Caught the Sun: Operation Anthropoid 1942, released in 2009 and still the talk of the town, takes you through the assassination of Reinhard Heydrich, the chief of the Reich Security Main Office, who was killed by Czech agents. Well, as mentioned earlier, John graciously accepted my invitation, and it was truly an honour to host him. Do listen to my episode with John Martin, where he talks about how comedy has evolved over the years and how to be a comedian in a‘politically correct’ world.…
