David McMillan joins Terry Stone to tell one of the most extraordinary prison escape stories ever recorded. Thank you to our sponsors Zapply, Not only athletes trust it. So do thousands of everyday men - https://tryzapply.com/terrystone After years operating as an international drug smuggler, David was arrested in Thailand and imprisoned inside Bangkok’s notorious Klong Prem Central Prison, better known as the “Bangkok Hilton.” Facing the possibility of the death penalty, he began planning what many believed was impossible. In 1996, David cut through his cell bars, crossed the prison complex, scaled multiple walls and escaped using a makeshift ladder. He then changed into civilian clothing, calmly walked away beneath an umbrella and fled Thailand using a false passport. David remains the only Westerner on record to have successfully escaped from Klong Prem. In this unfiltered conversation, David takes Terry inside his former criminal life, the brutal reality of a Thai prison, the meticulous planning behind his escape and what happened after he disappeared into the Bangkok night.

There was a time when magazines like FHM, Loaded, Nuts and Zoo were everywhere, packed with outrageous interviews, football, comedy, celebrity culture and the kind of humour that defined an entire generation of British lads. Big thank you to our Sponsors, Bradburys Group | SMARTeye – Rapid Deployment Crime - https://bradburysgroup.com/smarteye-rapid-deployment-detection/ But where did they all go? In this reaction, Terry Stone looks back at the rise and fall of lads’ mags, the culture that surrounded them and the reasons they disappeared from British shelves. Did the internet simply kill print, did society move on, or have we lost a bit of the humour and freedom that made that era so memorable? Not everything from those days has aged well, but there’s no denying the impact lads’ mags had on British culture. Were they harmless entertainment, a product of their time, or was their disappearance long overdue? Let us know what you think in the comments and which lads’ magazine you used to buy!

In 2010, something happened on the streets of Huddersfield that wasn’t supposed to happen anymore. Big thank you to our Sponsors, Bradburys Group | SMARTeye – Rapid Deployment Crime - https://bradburysgroup.com/smarteye-rapid-deployment-detection/ Captured on CCTV, supporters linked to Millwall became involved in a running battle that looked like it had been pulled straight from the darkest days of English football hooliganism. For decades, the authorities had fought to stamp this culture out. New laws were introduced, stadiums were rebuilt, banning orders were imposed and many of the country’s most notorious firms were dismantled. But had football hooliganism really disappeared—or had it simply moved away from the terraces? In this video, I examine what happened in Huddersfield that day, the rise of Millwall’s infamous Bushwackers, the nationwide crackdown of the 1990s and why the culture surrounding football violence never completely went away. Was this Britain’s last great hooligan battle? This video does not glorify or encourage football violence. It documents a significant incident in the history of British football culture.

In 1995, mysterious black-and-white footage appeared to show the autopsy of an alien recovered from the legendary Roswell crash—and millions of people around the world believed it was real. Big thank you to our Sponsors, Bradburys Group | SMARTeye – Rapid Deployment Crime - https://bradburysgroup.com/smarteye-rapid-deployment-detection/ In this episode, I uncover the extraordinary story behind the Alien Autopsy footage: how Ray Santilli introduced it to the world, why television networks rushed to broadcast it, the experts who questioned its authenticity and how the infamous alien body was reportedly created. Years later, Santilli admitted that the film released to the public had been staged, while maintaining that it was based on genuine footage he had previously seen. But with no independently verified original film ever produced, one enormous question remains: was there ever anything real behind the hoax? This is the story of belief, money and media manipulation—and how one grainy film managed to fool the world. Did you believe the Alien Autopsy was real when you first saw it?
