Celebrities, athletes, politicians, influencers and even royalty can all land in the firing line.
Why does it matter? Because we invest in them.
We give them space in our homes, our budgets, our feeds, and sometimes, our hearts. We put them on pedestals. So when they fall, we want the truth. But in an age of AI-generated “evidence”, misinformation, and unqualified newsfluencers, separating fact from fiction is a full-time job. Hot on the heels of covering the Diddy trial, Anoushka Mutanda-Dougherty is up for the challenge. Each week on Fame Under Fire, she’ll take a detailed look at the topics dominating the headlines. With the help of expert guests, she’ll myth bust, debunk, pre-bunk, fact check and get to the truth behind the timeline. Got questions? We’ve got answers. Message us at 0330 123 555 1.

THOMAS ANDERS ist aus der Musik- und Unterhaltungsbranche nicht mehr wegzudenken.
Vor 53 Jahren stand er zum ersten Mal auf einer Bühne, unterschrieb 1978 seinen ersten Schallplattenvertrag und veröffentlichte im gleichen Jahr seine erste Single „Judy“. Es folgten danach weitere Solo-Singles bis er Mitte der 80er Jahre mit MODERN TALKING internationale Musikgeschichte schrieb. Mehr als 125 Millionen verkaufter Schallplatten und CDs und unzählige Fans weltweit begleiten bis heute seinen Weg.
Über Thomas Anders wurde, in seiner bis heute andauernden Karriere, schon viel geschrieben und gesagt. Jetzt spricht er! Über Erfolge und Misserfolge, Höhen und Tiefen. Ungeschönt und offen, ganz privat aus seinem Zuhause heraus, nimmt ihn Moderator Andreas Kunze mit auf eine Zeitreise, in der er auch mit Augenzwinkern auf die Geschichten seines bewegten Lebens zurückblickt. Zu Gast sind Freunde, Herzensmenschen und Weggefährten, die seinen Weg bis heute begleitet haben. Mal humorvoll, mal ernst, aber immer aus dem Blick eines zugewandten und am Ende immer noch bodenständig gebliebenen Mannes.
Dieser Podcast ist EHRLICH – AUTHENTISCH – …EINFACH ANDERS!

Host Cory Doctorow coined the word "enshittification" to describe the state of the modern internet: a broken down, decaying place, once full of promise, now overrun with intrusive ads, hateful trolls, aggressive algorithms, zero privacy, and AI-generated slop, with every billionaire tech titan in a race to the bottom to bleed their users and their customers alike.
It can feel like it was inevitable — but it didn't have to be this way.The modern internet is the result of decisions made by powerful people, at key moments in history, despite repeated warnings about where it would lead.
In Understood: Who Broke the Internet?, Doctorow traces the downward spiral from the heady days of '90s tech-optimism through to today's rotten "enshitternet." You'll meet everyone from visionaries to villains to regular people just trying to survive in today's online world. And you'll discover who broke the internet — and, more importantly, a plan to fix it.
