Mo Gilligan: Beginning, Middle & End

From growing up in Bradford facing bullying and racial tension, to using magic as a form of protection, Dynamo opens up about the reality behind the illusion. He speaks honestly about living with chronic illness, losing himself at the height of fame, and the moment he almost walked away from magic forever.
Dynamo also reveals incredible stories involving Dave Chappelle, Banksy, and Chris Martin — and explains why magic today isn’t about tricks, but about making people believe in themselves.

This is not just a podcast episode.
It’s a story about survival, identity, and finding purpose when everything falls apart.

This week on Beginning, Middle & End, Mo Gilligan sits down with comedy powerhouse Joanne McNally.
From selling out shows across the world to accidentally taking a sleeping pill before going on stage, Joanne talks touring exhaustion, dating while never being in the same country twice, and why success doesn’t always come with a blueprint.
She opens up about podcast power, creative freedom, being brutally honest on stage, and whether New York might be her next move.
Sharp, funny, and completely unfiltered — this is Joanne McNally exactly as she is.

From viral clips to prime-time TV, Guz Khan joins Mo Gilligan to unpack the highs, lows, and realities of breaking through without losing your soul.
A must-listen on representation, resilience, and why sometimes the bravest move is walking away.

This week, Mo Gilligan is joined by entrepreneur, author, and investor Timothy Armoo, one of the most influential voices shaping modern business and Gen Z culture.
Raised between Ghana and South London, Timothy’s journey began on a fourth-floor council estate on Old Kent Road — before founding Fanbytes from his university bedroom at just 21. What followed was a meteoric rise: Forbes 30 Under 30, partnerships with global brands like Nike and McDonald’s, and the eventual sale of Fanbytes for tens of millions.

In this deeply personal conversation, Timothy opens up about identity, grief, ambition, and the realities behind success. He speaks candidly about losing his father, the pressure of leadership, mistakes made with early money, and why gratitude, not flash, is his real measure of wealth.

This is a powerful episode about purpose over perception, long-term thinking, and why believing in yourself — even before anyone else does — can change everything.

This week, Mo Gilligan is joined by BAFTA Award-winning actor Malachi Kirby for a powerful conversation about craft, courage, and carving your own lane.
Growing up in Battersea, Malachi found acting through local drama classes before becoming part of a generation-defining wave of British talent. From portraying Kunta Kinte in Roots, to his BAFTA-winning performance in Steve McQueen’s Small Axe, to Black Mirror and now series two of A Thousand Blows on Disney+, Malachi reflects on the roles that shaped him — and the ones he turned down.

They talk about introversion, identity, trusting instinct over hype, navigating pressure after awards, and why movement — creatively and personally — has been central to Malachi’s life. Honest, reflective, and deeply grounded, this episode is about longevity over noise, truth over performance, and building something that lasts.
