🎤 Interviewees Wanted! 🎤
For a while now, we've been working on a piece about Buy Now Pay Later products: Klarna, Afterpay / Clearpay, Paypal Pay Later etc.
One idea we've been toying with is to interview a bunch of folks with different experiences of using these apps/products.
And, in pursuit of some interviews, and as I've done before, I thought I'd reach out to all of you lovely people who watch my videos!
Are you (or have you been) a user of BNPL products?
Maybe you've used them to pay for big things. Maybe you've used them to pay for small things. Your experiences might be incredibly positive. Your experiences might be incredibly negative.
We're really looking for a range of experiences and reflections.
Obviously not everyone is happy talking about their spending habits and financial experiences for a large-ish audience. And that's completely fine!
However, if you're someone for whom this does sound like a comfortable experience, and you would be happy to potentially take part in a filmed interview for possible inclusion in a forthcoming video, I'd love to hear from you!
Thanks all!
⏬ Find out how to get in touch below ⏬
P.S. Even if this doesn't sound like something for you, liking and commenting on this post would really help to boost its reach, and help me in making this video the best it can be! So I'd suuuuuper appreciate that too!

‼️ BOOMERS is a 2025 Webby Awards Honoree ‼️
It's lovely to learn that BOOMERS has been named a 2025 Webby Awards Honoree, alongside several other Nebula Original shows.
A wonderful bit of recognition for everyone on the team who worked so hard (both on location and in the editing suite) to make the film a reality.
If you've not seen BOOMERS yet, I'd love it if you'd head over to Nebula to check it out!

I recently went on the @MoneyPodcast to chat about my debut film BOOMERS.
Thanks to Damien and T for a really fun conversation.
I struggle to watch myself being interviewed without cringing a lot, so I'm going to share and just trust I said some mildly interesting things (and also didn't say anything too embarrassing)...
And, of course, if you haven't seen BOOMERS yet and would like to, I'll pop the details about how to join myself and all your favourite creators over on @nebula down below!

Want an insight into how we made BOOMERS?
We put together a little video in which I reflect on some of the challenges (and fun!) of trying to make a documentary which turned out to be a little *too* relevant...
BOOMERS is now almost 4 months old, so thank you to everyone who's already popped over the Nebula to watch it.
If you haven't yet but would like to, I'll put a little link to find out more below!

For my latest video, I went INSIDE the Houses of Parliament.
My goal?
To interview four of the UNELECTED politicians who sit and vote in the UK’s House of Lord.
I wanted to ask why the UK has held on to this strange, anti-democratic system for so long…
…and to uncover the ongoing fight over its future.

🏠 Let’s talk housing! 🏚️
For most people who watch my videos, housing affordability is a huge issue.
Rents and house prices are at record levels when compared with wages and are soaking up a significant proportion of our incomes.
Rather than just talk about why things are bad, though, I wanted to take a look at how we might solve the housing crisis, particularly in the UK but also elsewhere in the world.
Let me know your thoughts!

🍿 The Trailer for BOOMERS is here! 🍿
We’ve just released the trailer for my upcoming, Nebula Original documentary BOOMERS.
The film takes a provocative look at the generation wars which have taken over much of our political and cultural conversation over the past decade.
It covers generational inequality, housing, the climate crisis, pensions, and so much more…
And it’s all told through a globe-trotting journey to investigate the lives and legacy of the Baby Boomer generation.
BOOMERS is available to stream from 7pm ET / 11pm GMT on Monday 4th November, only on NEBULA.
If you’re not already signed up to Nebula, now is a great time to jump on board.
Alongside BOOMERS, we’ve also recently released Abigail Thorn of Philosophy Tube’s short film DRACULA’S EX-GIRLFRIEND and THE GETAWAY, a great new game show from the team behind Wendover Productions, Half as Interesting and Jet Lag: The Game.
All of which are, like BOOMERS, available to watch exclusively on Nebula.
Better still, you can get 40% off an annual plan, allowing you to get access to BOOMERS and all the amazing other Nebula Original shows for just $3 a month.
Find out more about BOOMERS and how to sign up to Nebula below this post!
