“A noble heart cracks. Goodnight sweet prince. And angels sing thee to thy rest.”🌱
"When I look back on my past and think how much time I wasted on nothing, how much time has been lost in futilities, errors, laziness, incapacity to live; how little I appreciated it, how many times I sinned against my heart and soul - then my heart bleeds. Life is a gift, life is happiness, every minute can be an eternity of happiness!"
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Continuing to blow the dust off the podcast archives, this interview was recorded in 2020 with former Chief Constable Mike Cunningham QPM and then CEO of the College of Policing, a time of considerable controversy for the college.
History will judge whether this interview has aged well but I have to give credit to Mike Cunningham for what I felt was an honest and candid interview as he addressed some of the criticisms that had been levelled at him.

Well I’ve been busy clearing the audio decks so to speak so I can really concentrate and start editing my conversations with Miguel Da Silva.
Miguel grew up during the Portuguese civil war and due to his father’s job moved around quite a bit between several countries. Life was far from a bed of roses and during his teenage years he discovered drugs, music and pirate radio. It was that love of music that he became a radio DJ presenter and which he is till is to this day.
But Miguel also has a deeper side to his soul and he is a shamanic healer. We talk about his childhood, music and shamanism.
This edit is unlike anything I have done previously. Not only will I be piecing Miguel’s story together, I will be feeling it. Coming soon 🌱 dctaudio.co.uk
