Depressed CEO's

Meet Dandy Kim. Blackmailer, gun runner, horse wanker, water ski school operator, and the man who stole sensitive documents from Jack Warner's safe that were never disclosed but were apparently enough to get his jail sentence cut in half and the money written off entirely. We cover the sexual revolution of the 60s, the invention of the mini skirt, why the male contraceptive pill was abandoned, how a woman's name was borrowed without proper consent to launch Britain's most famous sex shop, and why a postal strike nearly killed the whole thing before it started. Also: Dave has an absolutely horrible morning involving a white Land Rover, a wet egg, two pairs of glasses and a dog with a bone.

This week we're diving into the gloriously bizarre story of Bernard Matthews. Turkey eugenics, the invention of the turkey roast joint, a 27-year advertising campaign built on one word, and how he made the equivalent of £38.5 million in eight days. David gets a tooth snapped in half by a dentist called Jaguar, we discuss our first celebrity crushes, Jodie Marsh gets the academic treatment she deserves, and Father Jiminy Cricket delivers a prayer against Argentina.

It's the end of an era. Roman Abramovich gets poisoned in Ukraine, his £5 billion in assets get frozen overnight, and two superyachts worth nearly a billion pounds go on the run to Turkey in a real-life Grand Theft Auto chase. Also: we try blowjob mints, debate electric cars, dive into local Facebook group drama, celebrate the World Cup with a Lay's crisp sandwich, and Dave gets a cake in the face on day one of the new studio after losing a Frankfurter vs Bratwurst quiz. Billionaires can do whatever they want. And it's absolutely fine. The Depressed CEO Podcast — new episodes every week. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

We're in the new studio. There's a gravy hot tub. Dog arses on the wall. It's exactly what you'd expect. This week: Roman Abramovich arrives at Stamford Bridge, bans the colour red, turns up to training in full kit demanding a kickabout, and has £40,000 worth of sushi flown to Azerbaijan by private jet, despite his mate literally being poisoned in a sushi restaurant. We try Japanese snacks in his honour. We also blind rank ten types of fart. Scientifically.

We sit down with Amy O'Hara, Development Executive at Warp Films - the Sheffield-based production company behind Adolescence, Dead Man's Shoes, Four Lions, This Is England and some of the most important British films ever made. Amy's career has taken her from DJing at Sheffield's legendary Threads nights, to Film4, the BFI, and now back home to Warp. We talk about how she broke into the industry, what it takes to get a film off the ground, the threat of AI to storytelling, why cinema isn't dead yet - and a very exciting hint at what's coming next from Warp. And we pitch her a few film ideas. She was very patient about it. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

This week we're joined by Carl Maloney, founder of RGM Magazine — the man who's interviewed everyone from John Cooper Clarke to Shaun Ryder, all while championing unsigned bands from Sheffield and beyond. We talk about the night Arctic Monkeys played their very first gig, bombing on stage at an open mic, building a music magazine from scratch, accidentally promoting an AI artist, and why the live music industry is heading for a crash. Oh, and Alex Turner used to ask Carl for advice. Bless him. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

This week's guest is Jo Mason - confidence coach, former PE teacher, Navy veteran, and someone who's navigated more in life than most. Diagnosed with stage four cancer in 2021, Jo made a decision. She wasn't going to stop living. We talk burnout, Dubai, bad employers, losing herself - and how cancer, bizarrely, gave her the life she always wanted. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

This week we're diving deep into one of Britain's most notorious PR men - Max Clifford. Before “fake news” had a name, Max was selling it to the tabloids. He planted affairs, invented headlines, and built a £10 million empire on one simple belief - attention is more powerful than truth. From screening pornos above a Wimbledon pub to representing Frank Sinatra, Muhammad Ali and OJ Simpson, Clifford climbed as high as you can go. Until Operation Yewtree came knocking… This one's got everything. Sex, lies, tabloids, corruption and a ending you couldn't make up. This is a Depressed CEO deep dive. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

In this episode, we take a deep dive into Mark Zuckerberg as our first-ever “Depressed CEO” case study. We break down his early life, from building computer programs as a kid to creating Facebook at Harvard — including the controversial beginnings with FaceMash, the lawsuits, and the rise of one of the most powerful tech companies in the world. From massive investments and billionaire deals to data controversies, power moves, and the evolution of social media, we unpack how Facebook grew into a global force — and what that says about the man behind it. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

Andy Nicholson returns! Now a published author, Andy talks through his book and exhibition — sharing unseen photos and stories from a defining era in UK music, and the unexpected ways those records have shaped people’s lives. We also get into his time with Clubs & Spades, his approach to making music, and why staying authentic has always mattered more than playing the game. A conversation about legacy, creativity, and realising the impact your work has on others and of course we also try to rate Andy’s meal deal. ;) ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

We sit down with Alex Deadman to explore his journey through Sheffield’s underground music scene and the role he’s played behind the scenes in drum & bass and electronic music culture. Alex shares stories from discovering jungle music as a kid, attending early raves, and eventually becoming deeply involved in the scene — from running events and working club doors to helping build early online platforms like Drum & Bass Arena and live streaming raves long before it became normal. We talk about the evolution of jungle, dubstep and drum & bass, the early internet era of music culture, and how Sheffield became an unexpected hub for innovation in the scene. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

We sit down with Sheffield hip hop artist Matic Mouth to talk about his journey through music, life, and the influences that shaped him. Matic shares stories from growing up in Sheffield, the impact of his mum’s guidance, and how youth clubs like The Hill helped shape his path. From hearing Snoop Dogg and Wu-Tang Clan for the first time, to writing lyrics in school books and performing on stage before ever recording a track, we explore how hip hop became his outlet. We also discuss the evolution of hip hop culture, East Coast vs West Coast sounds, the rise of artists like Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, and how Sheffield continues to influence Matic’s writing and perspective. ------------- Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.
