#103 - Dreaming - Bethany Payet 🏴 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bethany Payet was head of the art department in a UK school, saying yes to everything until she was close to burning out completely. In 2025 she handed in her notice, spent one summer testing whether she could make it as an artist, and then left the UK with her partner Matt to travel for 8 months through Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam, Thailand and Bali. In Thailand, an idea to try painting a mural turned into two walls, a mentorship programme, and a decision to go all in. Now based in Australia,
BONUS: CTP meets...'Never Did It' (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This time Gary is on the other side of the mic. Joining Brad Garoon and Jake Ziegler on the Never Did It Podcast to talk about two British films from the 80s: Withnail and I and The Long Good Friday . One is a boozy, bleak and brilliantly funny story of two out-of-work actors fleeing London for a countryside "holiday" that goes horribly wrong. The other is Bob Hoskins at his absolute best as Harold Shand, a London gangster whose empire starts falling apart over one Easter weekend. We get into th

Read excerpt

Plus, Crossing the Pond is building a team for Prostate United this October, its eighth year running under the Pro

Read excerpt
We welcome back a previous CTP guest, Ross Burbeary, to the show this week. Co-founder of the 'Prostate United' challenge back in 2018. A month-long challenge born out of personal loss that's since grown into one of the biggest grassroots fundraisers in English football. Eight years on, with clubs, staff, and fans across the country lacing up every October, Ross joins me for a catch-up on where it all began, what's changed, and why this year's challenge matters as much as ever. Prostate cancer k
#101 - Fortitude - Matt Evans 🏴 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This week's guest was born in Wales, deliberately, so he could one day pull on a red shirt and play rugby for his country. That's the first decision someone else ever made for him. Everything after that has been his own. Matt Evans first caught the bug for the US during a summer project as an 18-year-old. Upon his return to Wales, he always had one eye on a getting back to the US, eventually leading to a coffee morning that would change everything. Since then, and moving through countless US cit
