4. The Future

In this episode, Jamie marks the one-year anniversary of his Leukaemia diagnosis and uses that milestone to talk about something that’s been making him furious: the rise of unqualified health “experts”, and a particularly dangerous example from Stephen Bartlett’s Diary of a CEO.

Jamie revisits a viral clip he recorded from his hospital bed in July 2025, calling out a Bartlett trailer that appeared to suggest a boy with blood cancer and a life‑threatening infection was saved by simply going outside into the sun. Jamie explains why that kind of framing is not just misleading but actively dangerous for people undergoing treatment.

From there, he widens the lens to look at how big-name podcasters and YouTubers use pseudo-critical thinking, clickbait editing, and PR tactics to distract from the genuinely harmful implications of their content.

At the same time, Jamie offers a deeply personal update on his own health, mental state, friendships, and what it means to move forward without letting cancer define his entire identity.
