Duke is joined by Ben Akers from Talk Club, which is a talking and listening club for men. Duke and Ben discuss mental health & football and the launch of Talk Club Bristol Rovers.

Talk Club Bristol Rovers

The groups are relaxed, informal, and non-judgemental - a place where men can simply go in and get off their chest what's been happening in their week. This is part of a behaviour-changing movement aimed at getting men to talk more openly about their thoughts, feelings, worries and day-to-day gripes.

We have only just launched so stand by for further details but if you are interested then please join the private and confidential Facebook and/or WhatsApp groups.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
