Our guest today deals in such precious items, we cannot reveal his full name or his face. Sean is a diamond dealer, and an expert in the trade, as well as an incomparably fascinating storyteller. He and Olivia have worked together for years, and share a delight in these natural, sparkling, invincible materials.

He traces a diamond's hidden origins beneath the Earth's mantle, pressurised and pushed by volcanic forces up to the planet's crust. He tells of the most valuable diamonds he ever touched, robberies, and high jinks, and speaks with earnestness and passion about the ethics of the diamond industry.

This week also serves as a practical guide to anyone considering purchasing diamond jewellery: what to look for, how to navigate the complex vocabulary of cut, colour, clarity, and carat, and helps put you on the right track to finding your perfect piece.

Have you ever been caught in a lie?

Maybe just a small one. Borne out of a misunderstanding. Never intended to be told. But one lie leads to another. "It's easier to go along with it than to explain the whole truth," you tell yourself.

That's exactly where the protagonist of Dominic Amerena's debut novel, I Want Everything, finds himself.

Dom is a masterful storyteller. We talked about truth and lies, wild years abroad, plot twists, and just what lengths someone will go to when they're desperate, ambitious, and out of options.

I Want Everything, which has been praised as "the funniest novel of 2025" is available for pre-order here now, releasing on April 30 by Simon & Schuster.
