Each episode begins with images, early memories, pivotal turning points, and present day realities prompting guests to unpack the experiences that defined them. From there, the conversation moves deeper: identity, family, ambition, failure, culture, relationships, justice, and the pressures of modern life. Through structured storytelling and unexpected game segments, guests reveal both the serious and the surprising sides of themselves. The tone is honest, intelligent, and human, reflective without being heavy, playful without being shallow. This is not an interview. It is a space for discovery. Real stories. Clear thinking. Unfiltered insight. Hosted on Acast.

They're called Youth Lates — open evenings, open weekends, with food, mentoring, music, mental health support, all under one roof. The biggest investment in youth clubs by any Mayor. Ever. Marvyn grew up in Hackney at a time when youth clubs still existed. His youth worker was Justin Pickett — the actor who played Sean Ambrose in Desmond's. In this episode, Marvyn tells that story for the first time in full: what it meant to have a Black man show up for him at 15, what was lost when those spaces disappeared, and what this announcement means for a generation of young Londoners who've never had what he had. This one is personal.
