This Halloween - there’s a peek behind the curtain for you! - I had the pleasure of chatting with the hilarious Alan Carr. On this episode, Alan tells me about when a well-timed stomach bug resulted in his first big break, as well as the time he sort of went off with Amy Winehouse’s Q Award.
Today’s guest dialled in all the way from Los Angeles - that’s right! We’re international like that. In this episode London Hughes chats to me all about making it big in America and everything that led up to her hilarious Netflix special, To Catch A D*ck - which involves a pit stop at Phoebe Waller-Bridge’s Fleabag, and a detour in Edinburgh! She also tells me about what it was like being bullied at school, getting fired from T. G. I. Friday’s, and her first foray into the world of stand-up.
Rylan and I caught up backstage at the RTE studios in Dublin. Life has been a bit hectic of late, but it was an absolute joy chatting with Rylan. He’s funny, he’s witty and down to earth - what’s not to love? Listen for his genuinely game changing bit of advice, as well as his love actually running through the airport moment at age 9.
Today, I had a lovely old chinwag with Ella Mills, the founder of Deliciously Ella. She is such a serene presence, honestly, talking to her was so grounding and calming. We chatted all about her experience with illness, the story behind Deliciously Ella, and we had a bit of a bonding moment over our excel loving husbands. Tuck in!
For today’s show, I was joined by the glorious Rob Rinder. It was an absolute delight, sitting down and chatting with Rob - I mean, you will not believe the STATE of the object he’s most grateful for. Shocking, sorry Rob. This was a really lovely chat, honestly, I could listen to him talk for days, he has such a way with words.
