This is Robbie.
He spent six hours trapped in the rubble after a devastating earthquake.
Unable to feel his legs, unsure he would emerge alive. 🧵

This is Alok Sama. He was a high-flying CFO, who fraternised with the world’s richest men - but he wasn’t immune from intimidation.
Anonymous letters sent to his boss, Softbank’s Masayoshi Son, accused him of corruption. Suddenly, shadowy “shareholders” emerged from nowhere, and a smear campaign quietly derailed his career.
Then - as he recounts to me in this month's edition of @themodernmann - Alok discovered his family was under surveillance.
Desperate, he met men claiming ties to Mossad. And ultimately walked away, with first-hand experience of the corporate espionage that lurks in the shadows of Britain’s biggest companies...

Gather ye round for @themodernmann Xmas Special. It's like Noel's House Party meets This Morning meets Loose Ends meets Naked Attraction. A highly odd combination really but it wouldn't be Christmas without it
English
Season's Greetings from The Modern Mann - our annual Xmas special is on your pod-feeds, with some of our favourite guests from 2026 dropping by, and amazing live music from Sarah Smout 🎄
English
If you're wondering where the Christmas special is... It's even more EPIC than usual so it's taking longer than we had anticipated to edit! Will be out on FRIDAY and is worth waiting for. X Olly

Comedy people this is a really fascinating good interview 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼
Olly Mann 🎙️@OllyMann
There are divisive sitcoms. And then there is Warren. The BBC1 show, starring Martin Clunes as a misanthropic driving instructor, was called ‘the final nail in the coffin for British sitcom’ by the Daily Telegraph. While, in their review, the i said: ‘It’s rare that I will watch an entire comedy without once cracking a smile, but Warren truly broke me’. It was cancelled after one series. Six years on, the show’s co-writer, Jimmy Donny Cosgrove, has opened up to me for @TheModernMann. He received death threats from irate viewers. He was dumped by his agent. Warren had been his big break - after which he went back to being an office manager. Behind the scenes, he tells me, he felt he had lost control over his scripts, which began as a self-made YouTube sketch. As a debut writer, he saw how his voice was deprioritised on set. And he explains how the scheduling of the show - in a double-bill with ‘This Time with Alan Patridge’ - made his heart sink the second he heard about it, because he knew the two shows didn’t pair well and Warren needed more room to breathe. There’s no shortage of creatives wanting to come on my podcasts to talk about their successes, but it’s rare and difficult for someone to talk so honestly about their biggest public failure. Thanks Jimmy.

On the day that #SesameStreet returns to our (Netflix) screens, we at @retrospectorshq consider the impact the show has had on changing the world...
English
Matthew Cordle killed a man whilst drink-driving.
He confessed to the crime on YouTube.
Twelve years later, after serving time in prison, he tells @OllyMann about his remorse, rehabilitaton - and what it means to take responsibility.

I can't quite believe it, but it's been TEN YEARS since we began @TheModernMann.
Even in 2015, we knew that a magazine programme was, in essence, an anti-internet idea. But it's even more so now, in a world where increasing numbers of people think of 'podcasts' as celebrity videos on Instagram.
But I'm really proud of what we've achieved: some acclaim and some awards, yes, but also a devoted audience who entrust us to bring them something distinct, entertaining and challenging every month.
And platforming some really important stories amongst the laughs.
Massive thanks @AlixFox, @Ollieep, and @virtualmatthill - and, especially, to the Mann-Fans. Here's to the next ten years. x
