#216 - Nick Buckley

Nick Buckley was awarded an MBE by The Queen in 2019 for his work with Mancucian Way, the charity he founded in 2011 to support vulnerable and disenfranchised young people. Following an article he wrote about the Black Lives Matter organisation he was fired by the charity's board in 2020 but, following a public outcry, the board of trustees resigned and he was reinstated. He gives Tom his two cents on this tumultuous year, identity politics, Harry Styles, coronavirus and his favourite music. This episode is brought to you by Lumie, the original inventors of wake-up lights, whose Bodyclock Luxe 750DAB wake-up light mimics a natural sunrise and sunset.
