Matthew Cordle killed a man whilst drink-driving.
He then confessed to the crime on YouTube.
Twelve years later, after serving time in prison, he talks to me on 'The Modern Mann' about remorse, rehabilitaton - and what it means to take responsibility.

I can't quite believe it, but it's been ten years since we began The Modern Mann.
Even in 2015, we knew that a magazine programme was, in essence, an anti-internet idea. But it's even more so now, in a world where increasing numbers of people think of 'podcasts' as celebrity videos on Instagram...

What an ace trio of guests in today's 'culture hour': Nigel Planer, John Suchet & Neil Hannon!
I adored chatting to them all; you can listen back on the free Times Radio app by tapping on today's Drive show in 'catch up' and then fast-forwarding to the final hour...

Since much of the purpose of the UK recognising Palestine today is about message signalling, I'm curious about the word 'inalienable' in the PM's statement.
Do most people know for sure what it means?
How strong a statement is it if you have to Google it?

Times Radio are marking my stint hosting Drive this weekend with my sexy new Blue Steel headshot (by Chris McAndrew).
It's a look that says, "I will genially yet sceptically guide you through the news, whilst covering my belly fat".

I genuinely had no idea, before chatting with her, that courtroom artists are not actually allowed to sketch inside the courtroom in Britain. If they do, it's contempt. They also aren't guaranteed a seat in the courtroom, and their pics are often hurriedly drawn from memory on the kerb outside...

Priscilla Coleman has been sketching criminal trials for five decades, sitting ten feet away from the likes of Rose West, Ian Huntley, Harold Shipman and Gary Glitter. She's covered phone hacking, the Libor scandal, Wagatha Christie... It was a pleasure to meet her for this month's 'The Modern Mann'

Ten years ago, I met up with Tom Price, Stuart Goldsmith and some microphones to document our impending individual journeys into fatherhood.
We've met up every year since (the latest instalment of 'How To Be A Dad' has just landed on The Modern Mann pod-feed).

Arion is back from Oz for a Summer holiday - so this week The Retrospectors took the opportunity to leave our microphones at home, and meet up in actual REAL LIFE.
(Fun fact: we had fish and chips in a coaching inn which has existed on the present site since 1688. HISTORY NEVER RESTS.)
