Exclusive: Sir Winston Churchill Enters The Podcast | Broken Healthcare Podcast #86
Thu Jan 29 2026
What happens when Sir Winston Churchill walks into a modern podcast studio… and then steps out of character?
In this unforgettable episode of Broken Healthcare, host Ray Kober sits down with Randy Otto — a financial advisor, historian, and the only man ever endorsed by the Churchill family to portray Sir Winston Churchill.
For over 54 years, Randy has embodied Churchill on stages around the world. In this conversation, he does something extraordinary:
🎩 Part one: He is Winston Churchill — recounting war, leadership, failure, resilience, and the legendary “black dog” in Churchill’s own voice.
🧠 Part two: He steps out of character as Randy Otto, revealing what decades of studying Churchill taught him about creativity, mental health, destiny, money, and leadership.
You’ll hear:
- How Churchill survived his greatest failure (Gallipoli)
- Why painting saved his life — and his mind
- The real story behind the “black dog” of depression
- Leadership lessons forged in war that still apply today
- What it means to believe in destiny — and fight for it
This isn’t history class.
This is living history, performed by the man who knows Churchill better than anyone alive.
🎙️ Sit back, listen closely — and decide for yourself when the character ends and the wisdom begins.
