Anything Goes: James English Tells His Story
Ойын-сауық
Raised in the notorious Possilpark area of Glasgow, James English witnessed the darker side of life from a young age, leading to criminality, the loss of a promising football career, and battles with gambling, drug and alcohol addiction.
Now host of the hugely successful Anything Goes Podcast, he has replaced chaos with peace, and helps others find hope through his show, his documentaries, and his efforts for the homeless.

Honestly this has to be the best interview ive seen in a long time. It's nice to see James on the other end, he's suddenly become real if you get my drift. Fairplay Mr English you have come far, you should be incredibly proud of yourselves. Now get back to your own channel and give us another cracking interview.

Finally become real😂😂go give yourself a slap for that will ya
How can you not love a guy who is so open and genuine ❤️ I love listening to James 😊
The fact that James can sit and admit all the ugly parts of his past…. That’s a real man right there. A man who has acknowledged his mistakes in life and is now doing better. I’ve now listened to both Liam’s and James’s stories, and it’s no wonder they are both tough men. They’ve been through a lot 🙏🏼
I’ve been waiting to hear James’ story for years now and it didn’t disappoint. Phenomenal podcast guys
These 2 men are among the best and the reason I stopped watching mainstream media years ago. I won’t waste my time on it when I can watch quality right here! ❤
James english!!!! I respect your honesty and integrity so much. Watching this podcast has really helped me today. Keep powering through, man. You're awesome!
I’ve risen up from the ashes so many now times being a hard working single mum. But I’m struggling to make sense of it , I keep saying to myself Trust the process. I’m in constant chronic pain, I’m a single mum of 3 kids I’m the only breadwinner of my family. I’m on reduced hours at work, I get up everyday and keep fighting through unbearable pain to provide for my kids. the feeling of not being able to provide for your kids due to ill health has made me surrender to my knees and made me see things from another level . I get up everyday and still show up. But this has really knocked me on my arse, physically, mentally and spiritually -trying to find sense of it and not being defeated and this will pass soon , Watching podcasts likes this helps.

Good hearted bloke
been watching james for around a year now and always wanted to know HIS story and now ive came upon this, many thanks brother
Ooh I’m gonna enjoy this. Just made a cuppa & put it on the big screen 😂 never would I have thought in a million years that id opt for Saturday night viewing a podcast rather than being out on the town 😂 how things can change
used to go to the same school as James for a short while, i can confirm he was a mad shagger, im just catching up with what went on after the Woodside days and saddened but also extremely inspired by his achievements. what a guy! keep inspiring mate and follow your dreams
After listening to James podcasts for the last few years its nice to hear his story. Liam your acknowledgement of allowing the guest to speak has made this a amazing podcasts. Keep up the great work gents 👏
Cold shivers. My stroy isn't far from his. Fair play James. Great podcast Liam
Been a tough last few weeks moving on my true path and watching this podcast is always a cathartic reminder to stick to what I'm doing and not fall back into past bad habits/patterns of behaviour. Cheers Liam and James, great episode
Jamie English is one of the best podcasts on the internet!
Needed this right now what a guy. Look at what you been through. Such an amazing book power of now YESSSSSSS!
Fantastic podcast Tuffsy, that flowed effortlessly and James was brilliant. Amazing how far he’s come. Good lads
I’ve been watching James’s podcasts for quite a while now - I love the rawness and realness of them… real people all walks of life! It’s been so interesting to finally get to know more about James and for him to be on the other side of camera so to speak. What an amazing man James is! I’m so happy that he’s found his role in this world… there’s no doubt he was born to get this people’s life stories out there and connect to them as he does so well. Keep going James… behind you 100% on your continuing journey of success… much love. ❤
Brilliant interview this. Great hearing James’s story on the other side of the table. Please keep up this you’ve no idea how much you’re helping people ❤️
Thank you so much for this podcast…I just recently started watching James and listened to your life talk…both brought tears to my eyes and heart. Very deep pain and very dark demons…so thankful for the healing you’ve both experienced and are now sharing with the world. ❤️🩹 🌎 May God bring blessings abundant to your lives and strength to carry on.
Another cracking interview! Watched James for years and never knew his story! Mad how you can preconceive someone’s life before you actually know it!
Loved this! Always wondered about James's backstory, listen to him daily. And he's still a handsome chap! ❤
I am a massive fan of James english and wached his anything goes podcast. Didn't expect to relate too his story so much thanks for having him on a lot of truth bombs in this. I watched my friend fall like 90ft off a car park and die i was a few seconds away from him, on that same year my uncle OD outside our house at christmas and my granny died of cancer. I was 15 years old ive came on and off the sesh and watching this really moved me and i feel less alone.
Amazing ! Sending this to my brother he needs to watch and listen x
Excellent interview! 👏 👏 I absolutely love the James English podcasts, very interesting! Watching from Australia 🦘 🇦🇺 You've always come across as a genuine, honourable guy. What an inspiration and what a life you've lived. Life's lessons can certainly make or break you! So glad you've overcome your demons to persue your destiny! Wishing you every success your heart desires! Good luck James! ❣️ All the best to you too Liam 🙏😊
Great watch that. Brutal honesty from James with an inspiring story. Hats off to him. You’re a superb interviewer too Liam with a brilliant manner. Subscribed 👍
Loved 90% of the interviews so far keep smashing it mate
Absolutely loved this, love and respect James, fantastic interview ❤
Brilliant interview. Host allows guest to talk and doesn't try and take the limelight. Guest was engaging and taught some valuable life lessons.
Fantastic interview. Uplifting and inspiring. James has kept true to himself and not been afraid to look in the mirror and ask himself the difficult questions. I’ve subscribed and am looking forward to listening to more of your interviews 👊
Have so much that I can relate to with James, Jail, Drugs, Woman, The Clown, The kid in hard man but just wanted to make people laugh, the deep dark side that nobody sees, I have been in approved school, 5 Jails lived like a happy go lucky bum for 10 years, started my own sign business and made over a quarter of a million, bought my house shop and own a bus that's a camper. Raised three kids in my own and then read Eckhart Toole The Power of Now. Now I don't drink, take drugs not even a joint and am in a new journey. Yes it's hard and can also be boring but it my path, my journey and as James says, all we want to do is take all we know and help others. Peace Love N Light 🕉️💜🏴🤗🕉️
Love James so much, it was smashing to listen to his story. Wishing you both all the success for the future.
Just ordered the book ypi mentioned at the beginning. I think this is my favourite podcast I've ever listened to. I have them on in the van every day at work and probably listen to 2 a day, usually James' but started listening to liam aswell since I came across him. Both of them together were brilliant. Hope you both go even further. Keep flying 💙
Loved this thanks so much great interview ❤
James English, wow brother. Fair play for this
WOW! Just wow! On the back of this I watched James interview Liam …. Absolutely equal to each other as interviewers
Love James I’ve been listening to him for a few years now and always wanted to hear his full story. So much respect for him turning his life around! Great interview guys 👌🏼👌🏼
Really enjoyed this - was nice seeing James on the other side. Also grew up on Glasgow so can relate to a lot 😂
Great podcast Liam !! Was nice to hear James’ story after listening to many of his podcasts aswel, good luck to the both of you 👍🏼 top blokes
superb utterly compelling.speaking as someone who has struggled wiyh life,smoking the green losing my brother unexpectedly 7 years ago hit me so hard,even to this day. i have shared a lot of things in james life with addiction. i have a great new life ahead of me now after finally working out that the green stuff is no good for your well being. I have listened to james english,s podcasts with the wee man,tam etcetera. and always found him to be thoroughly entertaining.Listening to his side of the story is brilliant and sad at the same time. well done james for your candididness.
Awesome interview Liam, all natural and flowing. Well done to you and James.

I enjoy watching many of James’ podcasts, the 1 with you liam was very interesting! And now seeing your work, and hearing James story, the way you let him speak when he’s on a roll, that’s quality work. 👍

James I’m from the east end of Glasgow too mate, can relate so so much to your past mate. I was never into football but done everything else. Listening to you mate you still to this day regret the missed opportunities with football man, you do mention it so much in this interview, I feel it mate.. Let it go bro, you’ve found your calling doing podcasts. Keep smashing it dude. Big love from Barlanark
First class interview this! Well done! Keep up the good work! 👏🏻👏🏻
Beautifully done - both great fellas and wish them all the success in the world ❤
Great podcast. I’ve only recently come across your channel Liam but I’m a long time viewer of James’s channel, and I really enjoyed listening to the story behind the man.
That was brilliant guys thank you.👍👍
Great job Liam, excellent podcast. First time I've watched you doing your own and it was very professional. I watched you on James' channel and have been a fan of his so was good to hear his story.
Loved this Podcast with James total honesty. Hope to see you both in the near future 👍 R.Sole undercover gangster xx
Massive respect for James. A man that’s refused to bite the haters back and growing in his new directions in life. An amazing book of guidance “ power of now “ fair play to you James brother keep on growing through your new choices in life. Peace and light big fella. Good podcast mate, well done ❤️✌️
Brilliant interview. I love James English I’ve listened to his podcasts for years.
The Power of Now is the only book I’ve ever read after hitting rock bottom and after years of self loathing. Changed my life completely, kudos to you both for bringing it to people’s attention.

Did you experience this ego death he talks about? Where you have a bit of an identity crisis realising to a certain degree we aren’t who we think we are ? “Dark night of the soul” ?
Brilliant interview Liam - keep up the great work 👏👏👏
Great podcast, you are a natural, flowed well great story amazing job, I look forward for the next one
Loved this! Love James ❤ what amazing interview ❤
I watch James podcasts constantly love them all. Thanks for this though gave me a good insight into James past. Makes me like him all the more.
Such a great podcast. Well Done both. Proper authentic
... Never knew half your story James, so much resonates with me (too much lol) but see the only took one vodka at your Aunties funeral to spark you off again, back in Feb 2022 I had two small cocktails out with dinner after five months on the wagon & that's all it took to light the fuse for me (again) lol.... had a few more stints, a few more slips (EXCUSES) too but right now I'm just over 9 months sober which is furthest I ever got & I have to say this podcast (which I've rewatched again today) has been really insightful & stregnthened my resolve to keep going,... I've had to stick my discipline on steroids a few times lately (figure of speech you understand, I ain't a roid head as well as a vodka lover lol) & these podcasts with no bullshit realists telling their truths help me no end. Respect for the honesty, sincerely, thanks both 💯 Here's to 2024💖
Excellent Interview, you allowed him the time to speak, i was gripped by James's story Brilliant!!!
Best interview iv seen. Definitely think different of James now he held himself so well and came so far from when he first started out.
WOW! Jame's story is such an inspirational and powerful story.
I loved this podcast, i knew nothing about James as I don't follow main stream media. I've watched lots of excellent podcasts that James has done. It was so good to hear his full back story. Keep going James you are doing fantastic!
Another great interview x 2 lovely guys x
I've loved watching this! I absolutely adore watching James' podcasts & saw his podcast with you reversed a couple of days ago, 2 amazing guys & I think you are the perfect person to have podcasted him! Well done 👍🏽
