Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:00:14]:
You’re listening to the Keith Blakemore Noble Radio Show. Interesting chats with interesting people about interesting things and no adverts. Here’s your host, Keith Blakemore Noble. Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Welcome to the final ever episode of the Keith Blakemore-Noble Radio show. Started on 7 June 2019, ran for six and a half years. I think that’s not a bad innings, particularly for a podcast. In episode 18 of series six, I go into a lot more detail of why, why this podcast is closing at this point and all that sort of stuff.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:01:03]:
Do ch if you want to find out why we’re closing, but as promised, we’re wrapping this up with this episode which is the top 10 most listened episodes of all time. So looking back over all six and a half years overall, 177, I think it is episodes to see which episodes stood the test of time and had the most listens. So here we go at number 10. The 10th most listened episode ever comes from the 25th of August 2019 and it’s called the one about hypnosis. That’s the episode where we addressed some of the big concerns about hypnosis because people have a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis, often inspired by Hollywood’s ludicrous representations of hypnosis. And in this particular episode we took a look at some of them and we explored the realities. We looked at what hypnosis actually is. We answered the question of isn’t it just mind control? And we also explored the.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:02:10]:
The myth that it only works on the weak, weak willed spoilers. It doesn’t. All that and a whole lot more in the 10th most listened ever episode, the one about hypnosis. The 9th most listened ever episode was from 2nd February 2020 and it’s the one about MOT. Now we all know how important motivation is if we’re going to get things done. Unfortunately, we probably all also know how elusive motivation can be. And not at the start. At the start we feel like we have all the motivation in the world.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:02:45]:
But all too often, as we start moving along our chosen path, our motivation starts to wane. What’s going on? That’s what we explored in this episode where we had to look at what motivation actually is. We looked at how we can rekindle our motivation when our get up and go has, well, gone up and gone. And we look at the fundamental underlying key to motivation and a whole lot more. That was from 2nd February 2020, the ninth most listened episode ever, the one about motivation. Moving on to number eight, also from February 2020 this time from 16th February 2020. It’s the one about why we have phobia. It explores a very simple question.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:03:32]:
Why do we have fears or phobias? Often when someone suffers from a fear or a phobia, one of their biggest questions is why me? So that’s what we looked at in this episode. We looked at what actually a phobia is. We looked at why we have them, we considered the question of are we just born with them? And we looked at where they came from and a whole lot more. That’s the one about why we have phobia. The 8th most listened episode ever from 16th February 2020 the 7th most listened ever episode comes from 30th April 2021 and it was called the one about affirmations. Many people swear by them, yet many other people swear at them, having used affirmations for as long as they can remember, but without any positive results. So what’s going on? Do they work? How can they work? Why don’t they work? In this episode we dive in and explore what is going on in the world of affirmations. We discover why they work for some and not for others, and we use this to create a way to have them work for us.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:04:44]:
The one about affirmations the seventh most listened episode ever from 30 April 2021 this brings us to the sixth most listened episode ever. That’s a much more recent one. It’s from the 18th of July 2025. The one about procrastination. I’ll tell you more about that later. No, I’m kidding. It’s the one about procrastination. Sixth most listened episode and it’s the one in which we dig into a challenge which pretty much all of us face.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:05:15]:
Procrastination, which is often called the thief of time. We look at what procrastination really is. We look at why we procrastinate. We look at the key differences between taking a genuine break and simply avoiding what needs to be done. We look at some of the common reasons behind procrastination and I also share some practical steps which you can use to help identify your own procrastination triggers and patterns. With useful exercises, you’ll discover when and why you tend to put things off so you can start making real change and becoming more productive. That was the sixth most listened episode ever from 18 July 2025. The one about procrastination.
Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:06:00]:
Now, the top five most listened episodes of the Keith Blakemore Noble Radio show ever. And at number five, from the 14th of May 2021, it’s the one about the five fears killing your business. Your business is under threat. You probably don’t even realise it. So in this episode we took a look at five fears which are quite literally killing businesses. And if you have a business, one of these fears is definitely threatening your business. You want to find out what that fear is and how it threatens your business? Dive into the fifth most listened episode ever, the one about five fears in killing your business. At number four, we go back to the 17th of March 2020 for the one about keeping your fears.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:06:57]:
Many of us have fears. It is perfectly natural. It’s a part of life. Unfortunately, for some people, those fears are so strong that they stop us from doing the things that we want to do. Even more unfortunately, despite the fact that it’s possible to get rid of those fears, some people will do practically everything they can to cling on to those fears, to hold them tight, to refuse to let them go. Now, why is that? That’s what we look at in this episode where we examine five of the major reasons why you keep your fears. Which one of the reasons is the one which you most strongly identify with? There’s only one way to find out. That’s to listen to the fourth most listened episode ever from the 17th of March 2020.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:07:44]:
The one about keeping your fears. That’s us firmly into the top three now. And here we have the third most listened episode ever. It’s from the 25th of November 2020. It’s the one about resolutions. Would you decide to do something if you knew that there was a 92% probability that you’d fail? Probably not in most cases. And yet. Well, yeah, that’s exactly what millions do every single year, or rather every single New Year.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:08:20]:
Yeah, millions rush to make their New Year resolutions every year. Every year, 92% of them fail to keep those resolutions. Why? And what can we do to give ourselves greater chance of success? Well, for one thing, stop making New Year resolutions. Have I gone insane? Catch this episode to find out more. The third most listened episode ever, the one about resolutions. Top two. Now we’ve got two more episodes to go. The second most listened episode ever from the 9th of June 2023.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:09:00]:
And it was rather gratifying. The 100th one with Gary Jones. Yes, it was the 100th episode of the Keith Blake More Noble Radio show. And I brought on a Special guest for it. A guest who I had in a previous podcast. Oh back in series two of KBNRS, a podcast expert and friend of mine, Gary Jones, brought him on because this episode was a celebration of the podcast itself and I wanted to explore more things podcast related. And basically, Gary’s always good for a great chat. And that’s exactly what we had to celebrate.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:09:41]:
The hundredth episode. Naturally, we took a dive into the world of podcasting. How to make it successful. We looked at starting with just a phone, we looked at upgrading to fancy equipment, and Gary shared tips on how to create consistent and valuable content. And we also explored what it takes to create a good podcast, a good story, a good strong narrative for your listeners, regardless of what sort of podcast you’re creating. This took us on a bit of a tangent where we had a look through the Marvel Cinematic Universe, calling in on Ant man and the Wasp’s Quantumania. And if you’re wondering what any of that has got to do with podcasts, with the Keith Bateman Noble Radio show or with the hundredth episode, then listen to the second most listened episode ever from the 9th June 2023, the hundredth one with Gary Jones. Which now just leaves us with the question of what was the most listened episode ever of the Keith Blakemore Noble Radio show throughout its six and a half year history? I’ll tell you at number one topping the chart, the most listened episode ever comes from the 10th of May 2020 and it’s the one with Brad Burton.

Keith Blakemore-Noble [00:10:58]:
What on earth do you do if you get a call from the police to tell you that two bullets have been fired through your window at home? That was a situation Brad found himself in one day and it was the choices he made then which shaped him into the man that he is today. The UK’s number one motivational business speaker, founder of the UK’s largest networking organisation, author of four top selling books, amazing business coach, so much more. The number one episode, the one with Brad Burton, we had an insightful discussion in which we explored how do you start over? What is the importance of role models? Can you overcome the worst day of your life? Now what? And so much more. There’s a reason this was the most listened episode ever. And if you want to find out what that reason is, give it a listen. The One with Brad Burton so there you have it. That’s a countdown of the top 10 most listened episodes ever of the show.
