Summary
In this week's Bullet Points, I discuss the Gregg Wallace scandal, a huge topic in the UK this week. I share my thoughts having worked with Gregg previously.
As London is 'crowned' the Phone Theft Capital of Europe, I share how a trip to London changed my perspective and how it has influenced my behaviour in the city.
Finally, I share a useful hack that might help you focus more. Johann Hari and I discussed attention span on the show a while ago and you can listen to that here:

| 0:00.0 | Hello, hi and welcome to another episode of The Emma Gunn Show and a midweek installment of bullet points. |
| 0:13.5 | This is the midweek episode where we catch up with each other, where I let you know what's been going on, |
| 0:17.6 | and you let me know what you've been thinking about previous episodes. And I have to say, |
| 0:22.2 | I have had so much feedback recently. So thank you so much to everybody who has taken the time |
| 0:27.4 | to send any then, email, a DM or even a voice note. I've just before I hit record, |
| 0:32.5 | listened to a voice note from someone on DM on Instagram. And it was so kind and it was so |
| 0:37.2 | generous. And I thought, |
| 0:39.1 | oh, I'd love to mention it in this episode, but actually I need to think about it and get back to it |
| 0:42.6 | properly. But fundamentally, one of the running themes that has been going through all of this |
| 0:47.7 | feedback has been, keep doing what you're doing, which for me, as the person creating the content, is really rather |
| 0:56.0 | wonderful. So please, I cannot tell you how much that means. And even this DM, this voice note on |
| 1:05.0 | Instagram actually said, I know you had a bit of a wobble in the middle of the year and you |
| 1:08.0 | weren't quite sure which direction to go in, but it seems like you're doing the right thing. And my goodness, the sigh of relief, this |
| 1:14.7 | tension that left my body. So thank you, thank you, thank you. But let's start with something |
| 1:20.2 | topical. And previously, I've always avoided things that are newsworthy because I've always thought |
| 1:24.8 | it would be quite nice for the podcast to be evergreen. |
| 1:33.9 | But I don't have skin in the game as such, but I wanted to talk about the Greg Wallace controversy because it has been absolutely everywhere. It's undeniable that it's become a huge, |
| 1:40.8 | huge story here in the UK. So for context, Greg Wallace is a television personality. |
| 1:47.0 | He has been a judge on MasterChev, both amateur, celebrity, etc., master chef for, I think, |
| 1:54.8 | nearly 20 years with a colleague John Terode. And recently, some former contestants from the celebrity editions have come forward and said |
| 2:03.8 | that his behavior has been inappropriate. And as a result, he has stepped down. And it's just |
| 2:10.2 | made headline news to the point where the two of the political podcasts that I listen to |
