    Dec 26 2025
    Brandon Block is a name synonymous with dance floors worldwide. A true pioneer of the club scene, he has been an idol of Paul’s for quite some time! Brandon became the first resident DJ on Ibiza’s legendary Space terrace and has been getting parties going worldwide ever since.

    With residencies spanning Dubai, Marbella, Hong Kong, and beyond, his energy behind the decks is as infectious as ever but his hedonistic reputation is now just the stuff of legends. Brandon’s current story is one of growth and transformation, after difficulty in finding help in 1996. In this episode, Brandon talks about the highs and lows of fame, the joy of connection through music, and his journey into recovery and mental health work.

  • S4 Ep10: Addicted to Recovery with Max and Chris

    S4 Ep10: Addicted to Recovery with Max and Chris
    Dec 11 2025
    Today we welcome Max and Chris, hosts of the Addicted to Recovery podcast. Reaching more than 20,000 listeners each month, the Addicted to Recovery podcast blends honesty, humor, and heart, diving into real-life stories of growth, resilience, and redemption.

    Christopher White is a 37-year-old podcaster and proud family man who’s been clean for five years through Narcotics Anonymous. With a background in construction, Chris brings a grounded, no-nonsense perspective to everything he does.

    Max Thomas is living proof that addiction doesn’t discriminate. Privately educated and raised in a loving, supportive family with no history of trauma, Max nevertheless found himself caught in the cycle of addiction. Today, Max is over six years clean, a devoted husband, father of two, and a successful business owner.

    We hit on some big topics like the new (and better) buzz that comes from helping people, pulling a manipulative ace card, and the hard work needed to finally admit true self-centredness.

    S4 Ep9: How to Fall in Love with Katherine Baldwin
    Dec 4 2025
    A former foreign correspondent and political journalist for the news agency Reuters, she reported from the Houses of Parliament and travelled the world with prime ministers but all the while she was binge eating, binge drinking, compulsively exercising and hurting herself and others in dysfunctional relationships.
    Today’s guest Katherine Baldwin is a trauma-informed love, dating and relationship coach, a midlife mentor, mental health and wellbeing speaker, a TEDx speaker and the author of 'How to Fall in Love'. Katherine openly shares her experiences of an eating disorder, alcohol abuse, unhealthy relationship patterns, workaholism and burnout in a high-profile journalism career. We speak about the tools Katherine acquired on her 22-year healing journey, now supporting others to overcome self-harm, love themselves, transform their relationships and find healthy love.

  • S4 Ep8: Hardships, Hard Graft and Heartbreak with Tom Ratcliffe

    S4 Ep8: Hardships, Hard Graft and Heartbreak with Tom Ratcliffe
    Nov 27 2025
    From professional actor, through extraordinary personal growth, to ordained Buddhist priest, his service to others kept focus on his sobriety.
    Tom Ratcliffe was born in London and trained at the Central School of Speech and Drama. His early life followed the familiar arc of a working actor, but then his encounter with legendary American acting teacher Sanford Meisner in the early ‘90s not only reshaped his craft but ignited his search for truth and his dedication to mindfulness and acceptance.
    From working in the Calais Jungle, to caring for family through illness, loss, and relapse, Tom’s story is one of radical compassion born from chaos. Now retired from teaching, he stands at another threshold. In this raw and intimate conversation between two friends, Tom reflects on what it truly means to live in service, to heal, and to begin again.

  • S4 Ep7: Thriving Creative Expression in Sobriety with Sean Daniels

    S4 Ep7: Thriving Creative Expression in Sobriety with Sean Daniels
    Nov 20 2025
    ‘ Hemingway was a drunk and we love that about him. He also put a shotgun in his mouth and ended his life, but somehow we leave that part out of it.’

    In this frank and often funny conversation about getting sober and rediscovering your creativity, internationally known theater director, writer, and Artistic Director Sean Daniels challenges the myth that we often have to suffer in order to make great art. Known for new work and innovative community-based leadership, Sean is the Executive Director of the Recovery Arts Project and a leading voice in the mission to use the arts to defeat addiction.

    Sean’s play, The White Chip has recently finished playing commercially in London. The NY Times Critics Pick play that doesn’t shy away from the messiness of recovery has been performed around the world as a catalyst for community conversation and connection.

    In the arts world, Sean has been named “one of the top fifteen up & coming artists in the U.S.” and “One Of 7 People Reshaping and Revitalizing The American Musical” by American Theatre magazine. We had a great conversation about addiction within the creative industries and why producing great things needn’t be a deal with the devil.
