James this is simply the best interview ever. Could feel your warmth towards Stephen. So so good!

100% genuine, unlike some social media driven muppets ……very intelligent man too that would offer a lot to a rehabilitation programme for prisoners / young offenders 👌🏽

I think this man did so well because of his integrity and honesty which is very rare in this game so the people he bought off and sold to knew that Stephen was and is a Staunch man.

Enjoyed this .plus just shows crime dnt pay.🤑 Stephens words off wisdom for all.education & health.so true .💯

I havent long found your channel james but my god.. the interviews u have with these legends of time are amazing and gripping.. ive lost 3days so far just listening to all the amazing guest.. keep up the great work.. u are a legend in the making urself 👊

Respect to mezzer for the turnaround, was banged up in cdc (Central detention centre) in the same pad as Stephen, before his escape and subsequent sentence and he told me some wonderful stories, was amazed when he popped up on this podcast, I never forgot him and the stories he told me, some man.

clearly a very intlegent man love how he has the sly smile when he talks about his life , i hope he enjoyed his life great guy

Brilliant this jamesy and what a cracking fella he is, bet hes got some cracking stories so hopefully a part 2

The thing i like about your Podcast James, you always ask the right questions and let the guest speak. You also asks questions with a good and friendly attitude. I had a couple of friends in high positions in a well known Manchester gang. They like most top criminals are really nice genuine people, but a word of caution to any wannabe Gangster, do not take their kindness or friendship as a weakness because you will see their bad side and trust me you never want to see that. But look after them and be loyal and they will make sure you are untouchable and they will be loyal to you.

When you're in CatAAA for so long it must really fuck you up, yet this chap is very strong mentally. Whilst he may look like your friendly Uncle he must have be totally ruthless.

The real deal.. Biggest on all podcasts.. Glad he doing his art now.. Passionate

its refreshing to hear a excriminal telling a story with a good degree of humility and he doesn't give it ....the big i am!....also respect James how you listened and responded ......and never talked over Stephen, people respect that.. good luck in the future Stephen

Possibly your best podcast yet James and I rate them all very highly. Stephen's story is amazing. Thank you both for sharing. Keep up the great work brother. You're going from strength to strength and long may it continue. Bless-ed love, health and strength to you both. Many thanks.

Wow What special interview totally engrossed a just started watching a few days ago at least he said it's no worth it and found his calling in the art world seems like a pretty amazing guy Thanks James ..

Been waiting on this one 👌

Belting interview mate keep up the good work

He definitely needs to put a book out, this interview has probably only skimmed the surface.

Brilliant interview James . Good luck for the future Stephen

MASSIVE RESPECT AND TRUST IS WHAT IT TAKES Lovely Man LEGEND MILLION% GENUINE Brilliant Stuff Love it.

What a guy true story from the top end of criminality,stephens not got an edge no cockiness nothing,a true real life role model for the wannabes to listen up this guys got the message for you it is not worth it in the end ,all the best Stephen in your next life !

Great interview. Lived in Jersey for a few years, just a few yards from the court where Curtis Warren’s case was being heard. Quite surreal seeing snipers on the roof nearby, police cars blocking the road etc ( considering it was Jersey ).

You are so professional at what you do I hope your channels goi g to soar !!!you even look the part amazing I'm on a James English marathon

Brilliant best podcast u have done in my eyes. There's been some great ones but this man is top drawer. Very clever man and a nice trustworthy one too. All the best with the painting

I watched this interview when it was first released and I’ve just watched it again and enjoyed it more. Stephen is a Character and is a very intelligent man clearly in the top percentile. Whatever Stephen would have got involved in he would have excelled. A genuine man telling his story without the need to exaggerate unlike many of the other “gangsters” who saturate KZread with their jackanory stories.

Part Two needed asap!

I think this channel is absolutely brilliant. It takes many different types of people to make up the world and the amount of different characters I’ve seen interviewed on here is amazing. One thing that virtually all of these people have in common is that they’ve managed to change their lives for the better. Most of them are a product of their environment as well. Interesting and fascinating.

Quality podcast mate

Another great interview. James, you have the skill of keeping the guests talking. Excellent.

Its like,, what we was told back in the day... But we never listened... You only become a wise gentleman later in life... Respect from Bolton son...💯💯💯🤛🤛🤛
