  • ADOLESCENCE CREATOR JACK THORNE on Golden Globes, Being an Outsider & the Dark Side of Social Media
    Feb 18 2026

    You might not know Jack Thorne’s name but you’ll definitely know his work. He’s the award-winning writer behind Adolescence, Skins, This is England and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.


    For years, he has created intense, thought-provoking dramas - stories that speak to millions of us around the world. His work doesn’t just entertain, it creates conversations about who we are and the world we live in.


    I loved this conversation with Jack. What surprised me most was learning that behind his success is someone who grew up feeling like he didn’t quite belong. It was through his writing that Jack found his purpose: telling stories that matter.


    We cover:


    • Locking eyes with Leonardo DiCaprio during his Golden Globes speech
    • Adolescence and the dark side of social media
    • E.T. - the film that made Jack fall in love with cinema
    • His creative partnership and friendship with Stephen Graham
    • How his autism diagnosis helped him make sense of his past


    If you take one thing from this conversation, let it be this: stories have a quiet power to help us see the world, and ourselves, a little differently.


    Jack Thorne is Great Company.

  • Prof Tim Spector: How Food is Affecting Your Mental Health | GREAT MOMENTS
    Feb 16 2026

    We spend more than 2 HOURS every day thinking about food: what to eat, when to eat and what we’re craving next…


    But how often do we stop to ask, is this actually what my body needs? And more importantly, how is my diet affecting the way I feel?


    Professor Tim Spector is the co-founder of the ZOE health app and one of the world’s leading experts in gut health. His groundbreaking research has completely transformed the way we understand food.


    In this Great Moment, he breaks down the powerful connection between our gut and brain, explaining how simple dietary changes can help lower levels of anxiety and depression.

  • OLIVIA ATTWOOD: Why I'm Not Afraid To Be Alone Anymore
    Feb 11 2026

    Olivia Attwood first captured the nation’s attention on Love Island, quickly becoming a fan favourite on series 3 of the show.


    She’s gone on to build an incredible career across TV and radio and is loved for being open, honest and unapologetically herself.


    I couldn’t wait to have Olivia on the pod - she’s been on my wish list for a while - and this conversation didn’t disappoint. Olivia opens up about the rollercoaster journey she’s been on, from the highs and lows of living life in the public eye to past relationships, self-acceptance and learning to be happy on her own.


    We cover:

    • Why relationships take work and it’s easy to become disconnected
    • ADHD and experiencing panic attacks as a child
    • Toxic relationships and dating men who don’t like women
    • What she really thinks about Only Fans
    • Improving her relationship with herself and embracing being alone
    • Her encounter with a jellyfish on Love Island


    If you take one thing away from this conversation, remember this: the most powerful thing you do is learn how to be there for yourself.


    Olivia Attwood is Great Company.
