Pig butchering with Andy Bush - The Neighbourhood Watch Podcast Episode 2
19:33
A
7:20Andy BushGUEST
Okay, so, uh, my mom and dad clicked on what they thought was a legitimate Martin Lewis Money Martin, uh, advert about, you know, getting your, putting your savings in a high interest account.
A
7:33Andy BushGUEST
Uh, and this connected them with a scammer or probably like a, you know, a team of scammers.
A
7:39Andy BushGUEST
And basically it was, uh, without any knowledge, my brother and I had no idea this was going on.
A
7:44Andy BushGUEST
Um, they were phoning my parents three or four times a day, coaching them through what to do in terms of taking their money out of their account and, uh, opening another, um, Revolut account and then transferring the money into there.
A
7:57Andy BushGUEST
They also kind of crucially coached them what to say to the banks when the banks were phoning up to see, ask why they were transferring money over.
A
8:06Andy BushGUEST
The only reason I, uh, actually found out about it is that my mom phoned up to ask if she could borrow quite a big chunk of money.

... a- and, and I read that they've had a hundred and fifty million pounds sort of tech injection fr- from the Home Office, that they say it's a much simpler process now to report and that your parents didn't finally say, "Good." Well, you on their behalf, presumably.
Andrew Bush, Heather Zar, Fernando de Benedictis on how inhaled corticosteroids have changed the treatment of asthma
8:10

Heather ZarGUEST
But as we stand today, for most children with asthma, even those with severe disease, inhaled corticosteroids are unavailable, unaffordable in low-, middle-income country settings.
A
8:21Andy BushGUEST
And the World Health Organization, in their categories of severe asthma, say severe asthma because that you can't access the medications, and that worldwide must be the commonest cause of severe asthma.
A
8:33Andy BushGUEST
Also, we know there was a lovely study from Costa Rica when inhaled corticosteroids beca- were made much more widely available, restrictions on prescribing were lifted, and asthma mortality and morbidity absolutely plummeted.
A
8:47Andy BushGUEST
So we know not merely is there this horrible inequality, inequity that Heather has sum- you've summarized, but also something can be done about it if you actually make these things available.
A
8:58Andy BushGUEST
And let's be clear, the cheapest inhaled steroid inhalers are, for practical purposes, just as good as the more expensive.
A
9:06Andy BushGUEST
There's no reason why they can't be within the hands of every child who-- with asthma across the planet.
A
9:24AriHOST
I thought perhaps we could conclude just going around the table and mention the two main priorities in the field in your view.
Ep. 69 - Absolute Pleasure
22:12
A
8:56Andy BushGUEST
But, um, uh, you know, I, one, one thing that's fa- is interesting in terms of proper trauma for being an Evertonian is just, and, and again, I, again, I don't wanna sound like I'm kind of like dissing modern football, but I, I find the entire FA Cup experience a completely different thing to what it was when I was a kid.
A
9:11Andy BushGUEST
Like, we lost a number of games to, you know, the horrific game, '85 to Man United where you got, you know, you guys got a player sent off.
A
9:18Andy BushGUEST
We thought, "Here we go." Ended up losing to that amazing Norman Whiteside curler outside of, um, uh, you know, Neville Southall clutching thin air.
A
9:28Andy BushGUEST
I remember Question of Sport having, uh, Ian Wright's shot that knocks a load of cameras o- over in the corner of the netting on those baking hot, um, FA Cup final days as, as being part of their intro sequence.

Matthew CristHOST
Um, did radio happen purely by accident for you or was it always a long-term plan?
