   Episode 75: Lucy Letby Matters with Guy Rowland (Part 2 of 2)

   We complete our talk with Guy Rowland, the creator of the ‘Botched’ series which relates to the Cheshire Police investigation of Lucy Letby and her subsequent trials. After discussing the rest of the original trial, including the issues around defence witnesses, air embolism and insulin, Antony and Guy move on to a range of topics, including two very important past miscarriages of justice. The cases of Sally Clark (which also involved Cheshire Police) and Lucia De Berk (a nurse whose conviction bears many similar hallmarks to that of Letby) should have served as cautionary tales, but did they? There are also important psychological factors involved in the Letby case that are discussed, including confirmation bias and other biases, cognitive dissonance, framing, the use of the catch-all discrediting ‘conspiracy theory’ phrase, and the weaponised use of emotion around the families of the most fragile and helpless of victims. In addition, we ponder what makes a person ‘look guilty’ or ‘look innocent’, especially if a strong preconceived idea about them is already present. Finally, we speculate about the future for Lucy Letby and the justice system itself, and Antony recounts a recent interesting experience in the world of tribalism. We hope you find this of interest.

   Episode 74: Lucy Letby Matters with Guy Rowland (Part 1 of 2)

   Following mentions of Lucy Letby in previous episodes, we embark on a journey of over 2 hours into the case, aided by the extensive knowledge of Guy Rowland, the maker of the ‘Botched’ series which covered the more-than-questionable investigation and trials of Letby In this part, we begin with Guy’s background, Guy and Antony give their Letby origin stories, and then Guy talks about the making of his series. From there we look at the investigation and the trials (the latter to be continued next time), and along the way there is discussion of some of the psychological factors of the case, not least how people form impressions from the evidence given and the way it’s put across. And then there’s Dewi Evans… We hope you enjoy it!

   Episode 73: The Psychology of Everyday Life with Rob Ager

   We move away from animal issues this time for 100 minutes of free-range conversation (excuse the pun) and accessible psychology with film analysis legend Rob Ager. This discussion actually took place face-to-face in Rob’s house in Liverpool in August, quite a rarity for podcasts nowadays, and the idea was to pool our wealth of collective knowledge and experience to offer some useful and hopefully inspiring ideas, covering both the inner and outer truth strands of this podcast. On the inner truth side, there are nods to the role of narratives in our lives, the roles we play, class & cultural issues, shame, humour, self-education, truth through disorders and keys to happiness. In terms of outer truth, we discuss among other things office politics, media narratives, 9/11 and its crisis-managed aftermath Rob also talks about his interesting background (partly through films) and we briefly touch on previous LALO topics of interest, namely Southport, Lucy Letby and the establishment’s favourite weapon against dissidents, the phrase ‘conspiracy theory’ Finally, we discuss alternative ‘New Hollywood’ 70s films and the surprising effect that dark material and our own demons can have on us Hope you enjoy it!
