2026/05/10
This isn't just a podcast; it’s a warning. In one of the most shocking episodes of Social Sessions to date, we sit down with Kris Black, a man whose life was turned upside down by a web of lies that sounds more like a Netflix thriller than reality. 😱 Imagine this: You meet someone on TikTok. You fall in love. She tells you she has Stage 4 Cancer. You open your home, your heart, and your life to care for her—only to find out it was all a fabrication. 💔 But the nightmare didn’t end with the lie. Kris takes us through the "you have to see it to believe it" details of their time together, leading to the ultimate betrayal: Kris ending up in court, fighting to clear his name against charges stemming from this twisted situation. ⚖️ What’s inside this episode: The TikTok Trap: How a digital connection turned into a real-life obsession. 📱 The Ultimate Deception: Living with someone who is faking a terminal illness. 🎭 Legal Nightmare: The harrowing experience of being wrongfully accused and the fight for the truth. 🏛️ A Call for Reform: Kris exposes the dangerous lack of accountability in the prosecution services and takes his fight all the way to Parliament. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 This story is bizarre, heartbreaking, and ultimately inspiring. Kris Black is no longer just a victim; he’s a warrior for justice, fighting to ensure no one else has to endure what he did. ✊ Don't forget to LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and hit the NOTIFICATION BELL so you never miss an episode of Social Sessions! 🔔 SUBSCRIBE AND JOIN THE TRIBE Join this channel to access to perks and become part of Social Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyXvWIWVXvGClaUV-EnYsUQ/join Hosted on Acast.

Social Sessions with the one and only Matt Houston Who is the REAL Blade Runner? 🪚🚫📸 In this explosive episode of Social Sessions, we sit down with the man who has dominated UK headlines: Matthew Houston, the infamous "Blade Runner." Known globally for his relentless campaign against London’s ULEZ expansion and the Mayor’s camera network, Matthew breaks his silence on what it’s really like to be the face of a modern-day rebellion. This isn’t just a conversation about traffic zones; it’s a deep dive into civil disobedience, the fight for privacy, and the personal cost of standing up against government surveillance. 🇬🇧⚖️ Matthew pulls back the curtain on the "Digital Prison" he believes is being built around our cities and explains why he risked everything to take a stand. But there’s a side to the Blade Runner you’ve never seen—away from the cameras and the controversy, Matthew finds peace through a surprising passion for hand-crafted woodworking. 🪵✨ We explore how he balances the intensity of being a national figure with the quiet focus of his craft, proving there is much more to the man than the headlines suggest. In this episode, we cover: ✅ The truth behind the ULEZ camera protests and the Blade Runner movement. ✅ Why Matthew believes government surveillance is a threat to UK freedom. 🛡️ ✅ The mental toll of legal battles and being "Public Enemy No. 1" to some, and a hero to others. ✅ Exclusive: A look at Matthew’s woodworking and how he handles the pressure. 🪓 Don't forget to SUBSCRIBE and hit the bell icon 🔔 so you never miss a Session!

Social Sessions - Fornethy House Scandal (TRIGGER WARNING)#podcast #viral #socialsessions #fypシ #fyp
2026/05/04
Fornethy House of Horrors: Survivors Kellie Fox & Kelly Burns Share Their Harrowing Stories | Social Sessions 🚨 TRIGGER WARNING 🚨 This episode contains detailed discussions of historic child abuse (physical, emotional, psychological, and sexual). Viewer discretion is strongly advised. If you're affected, support resources are listed below. In this raw and emotional episode of Social Sessions, I sit down with two extraordinary Fornethy House survivors: the incredible Kellie Fox and Kelly Burns. These brave women open up about their experiences at Fornethy House – a remote Scottish mansion in Angus that operated as a "respite" facility for vulnerable young girls from Glasgow in the 1960s–1990s. What was sold as fun holidays turned into nightmares of systematic abuse by staff. Hundreds of women have since come forward with harrowing accounts. In 2025, former teacher Patricia Robertson was convicted of abusing 18 girls, yet survivors continue fighting for full inclusion in Scotland’s Redress Scheme, a public apology, and real accountability. Kellie and Kelly share their arrival as children, the daily horrors, the lifelong trauma, and the mysteries that linger: missing personal records, the bizarre 1998 council sale of the derelict property for the strangely patterned £111,222 to private buyer Ian Gray (who never occupied or renovated it), and allegations linking deceased MP Sir Nicholas Fairbairn to visits and abuse. This is one of the most heartbreaking yet inspiring conversations I’ve ever recorded. Their resilience, healing journeys, and determination to speak out prove that survivors can overcome unimaginable pain and turn it into powerful change. A true testament to human strength 💪❤️ If you or someone you know was affected by Fornethy House, you're not alone. Reach out to the Fornethy Survivors community. 🔔 Subscribe for more real conversations on tough topics 👍 Like & comment your thoughts (respectfully) 📲 Share to help amplify these voices #FornethyHouse #FornethySurvivors #ChildAbuse #SurvivorsSpeak #JusticeForFornethy #ScottishAbuseInquiry #BelieveSurvivors #HistoricAbuse #Scotland #TrueStories #Podcast #socialsessions  https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyXvWIWVXvGClaUV-EnYsUQ/join Hosted on Acast.

2026/05/03
From Gangster & Rave Scene Chaos to Pastor: The Unbelievable Redemption of Charles Savage Kingsman 🔥✝️ Dive into one of the most powerful, gritty, and hope-filled testimonies you'll ever hear. Charles Savage Kingsman takes us deep into his former life of organised crime, violent football hooliganism, heavy drug dealing in the wild 90s Scottish rave scene, addiction hell, multiple prison stints, dramatic police chases, and a terrifying spiritual encounter during a cocaine-induced psychosis that felt like being dragged through hell itself, hotter, darker, and more evil than anything imaginable. He even faced near amputation and a brutal spiritual attack, but in that darkest moment, he cried out... and everything changed forever. Today, Charles is a transformed man: a Spiritual Care Support Worker at Broken Chains in Ayr, Scotland, a key voice in the Scottish Christian community, and someone actively raising an army for God through places like House of Prayer. His raw edge and no-nonsense faith resonate deeply with the lost, the broken, addicts, ex-offenders, and anyone trapped in cycles of crime, drugs, violence, and despair. He's proof that no one is a hopeless case, if the Son sets you free, you are free indeed! This honest, unfiltered conversation is raw, emotional, confronting, and ultimately life-changing.

🔥 From Streets to the Kitchen: Graeme Stirling on Surviving Gangs, Addiction & the Real Cost of Chef Life 🍳💔 In this unflinching episode of Social Sessions, I sit down with Graeme Stirling – a chef who’s been through the fire. Graeme opens up about his teenage years caught up in gangs and chaos, the spiral into addiction, and how he eventually found his way into professional kitchens. The money can be good, the adrenaline is high, but the industry’s relentless pressure often fuels the same demons many are already fighting. We go deep on the addiction and mental health crisis hitting chefs and hospitality workers hard – long hours, high stress, easy access to alcohol and drugs, and a culture that glorifies grinding through the pain. Now clean, sober, and speaking out, Graeme is on a mission to break the silence and push for real change and better support in catering and hospitality. If you’ve ever worked in a kitchen, know someone who has, or want the unfiltered truth about what it really takes to survive in this industry, this one’s for you. 👉 Hit SUBSCRIBE for more raw, real conversations 👍 LIKE if this resonates 💬 COMMENT: What’s the toughest part of working in hospitality for you? #ChefLife #HospitalityMentalHealth #ChefAddiction #AddictionRecovery #KitchenStruggles #ChefBurnout #HospitalityWorkers #MentalHealthAwareness #GraemeStirling #SocialSessions #ChefCulture #RecoveryJourney Join this channel to get access to perks and become part of Social Sessions: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyXvWIWVXvGClaUV-EnYsUQ/join Hosted on Acast.
