Episode Details

Live radio at its most human. After a brief tango with tech gremlins, I welcome back “the people’s lawyer” David Adelman for a candid, energising conversation on resilience, service and speaking uncomfortable truths. David shares frontline stories from the last six years—being blocked by police outside venues, finishing talks in the street, and why he believes our power is far greater than we realise when we stand calmly in it. We dive into schools, data and children: biometric profiling, mock “lockdowns”, and how awareness—backed by targeted DSARs, the UK GDPR and FOI—is a sharper tool than fear. Lisa Borg also pops in from Kewstoke to champion community wellness and remind us that sturdy minds need sturdy bodies. Between reflections on ego, shadow work and the theatre of modern life, I spin Ren’s “Hi Ren,” a raw portrait of inner dialogue that mirrors the times: vulnerable, intelligent, bruised—and beautifully resilient.
