I started the show with a bit of midsummer moaning, some breakfast-and-Marmite chat, and the usual live-radio chaos before we were joined by Charles Fernandez. Once we’d fought through the gremlins, Charles gave us a proper tour of the Willoughby world: his new Friday night show, The Willoughby Surgery, and the wider system he’s built to help ordinary people deal with bailiffs, debt collectors, data abuse, facial recognition, and legal intimidation. We got into his practical tools, from Willoughby Genius and crisis prompts to DSAR workflows, data-breach challenges, and the broader aim of helping people understand the rules being used against them so they can respond with confidence rather than panic.

In the second half, Alexander Pohl joined me for a wide-ranging conversation that began with his film Headwind and opened out into banking, green finance, wind parks, Sweden, social engineering, architecture, technology, fear, and the importance of actually living rather than merely consuming. Drawing on his years in banking and his move to rural Sweden, Alexander spoke about the fraudulence he came to see inside the green investment world, the making of Headwind, and his current work around retreats, breathwork and reconnecting people with nature. We also wandered into deeper territory: conflict, freedom, truth, experience, death, and why gratitude, humour and staying human may be the best answer to a system that wants us anxious, passive and dependent.
