Space Could Be Your Future - Head of NASA | #117
2026/10/31
Could space hold the answer to Gen Z’s career problems?
Will space be the new international war zone?
I sat down with Head of NASA, and former astronaut, Jared Isaacman, to find out everything my generation needs to know about our travels in the Cosmos.
Before working for the administration, Isaacman commanded Inspiration4 (2021), the first all-civilian orbital spaceflight, and Polaris Dawn (2024), during which he performed the first commercial spacewalk and reached the highest altitude of any crewed flight since Apollo. Before this Isaacman co-founded Draken International, a defense firm providing adversary training to US and NATO air forces.

What is ICE and why are people so angry about it?
I spoke to President Trump's Border Czar to find out what ICE actually does, and get his response to the various criticisms flying around at the moment.
Thomas Homan has served under six US presidents. Under Obama he led ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations. He served as Acting ICE Director from 2017–2018 in Trump’s first term and his current role as Border Czar involves coordinating border security and deportation efforts.

NIH Director EXCLUSIVE: Social Media Ban, Over-Prescription & Saving Gen Z | #108
2026/10/06
Desperate to help, are doctors reaching for tools that leave patients worse off?
Why is antidepressant damage hidden from the public?
Why are so many people on SSRIs when scientists don’t even know how they work?
There are so many questions that need to be answered as this modern medical scandal unfolds, and I travelled to the White House to put them to the head of the NIH himself, Dr Jay Bhattacharya.
Dr Bhattacharya is the Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and an emeritus Professor at Stanford School of Medicine where he has been a faculty member for over 25 years.

EXCLUSIVE: “The Education System Has Let Young People Down” - Prime Minister Andy Burnham | #107
2026/09/27
I sat down for an urgent conversation with the Prime Minister of the UK to ask him how he plans to turn this ship around.With nearly 16% of 18-24 year olds NEET (Not in Education, Employment or Training) and their peers racking up astronomical debts from uni fees, Gen Z are in crisis.
The son of a telephone engineer and a GP receptionist, Andy Burnham was raised in Cheshire and educated in local state schools.
He joined Labour at 15 and went on to study English at Cambridge. Elected MP for Leigh in 2001, he served as Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Culture Secretary and Health Secretary.
He was Mayor of Greater Manchester for nine years from 2017. In 2026 he returned to Parliament and became Labour leader and Prime Minister on 20 July 2026.
