In this hard hitting episode of the podcast we sit down with Byron Highton, one of the UKs leading anti knife crime campaigners and an OBE nominee for his work protecting young people and communities.

Byron shares the tragic story of his brother, who after moving away from antisocial behaviour and trying to build a better life, was targeted in a gang attack and brutally murdered after previously being stabbed 23 times. This life changing loss became the driving force behind Byrons mission to educate children and prevent knife crime across the UK.

We discuss the impact the media and music, particularly drill music, is having on children and how it may be influencing behaviour and normalising violence. The conversation also covers the cost of living crisis, struggling communities, and how the government continues to fail those most at risk.

This episode also explores the work Byron does in schools, how he educates young people on the real consequences of knife crime, and his teaching style that connects with students before it is too late.

This is an honest and emotional conversation about knife crime in the UK, youth violence, personal responsibility, community breakdown, and what needs to change to save lives.

If you care about youth safety, education, parenting, crime prevention, or social issues in Britain, this episode is essential listening.
