Samantha Kane: podcast appearances and interviews

Samantha Kane is a British barrister and businesswoman born in January 1960 in Iraq. She gained media attention in 1990 when she led a takeover bid for Sheffield United F.C. as head of a Saudi Arabian investment firm. Kane came out as a transgender woman in 1998, which led to her being interviewed for the role of the club's next chief executive; however, she was ultimately compelled to resign from her investment firm. From 2004 to 2017, she adopted a male gender identity and was known as Charles Kane, but she later publicly identified again as a transgender woman. Since 2022, she has owned Carbisdale Castle in the Scottish Highlands, where she has styled herself as Lady Carbisdale and serves as the Laird.
