• Elle star Lexi Minetree on voicenotes from Reese Witherspoon, working with James Van Der Beek & being told she wasn’t good enough
    Jul 15 2026
    She was a total nerd growing up, reading books about warrior cats and playing her DS. Now she's playing one of the most iconic characters in pop culture history. Lexi Minetree was handpicked by Reese Witherspoon from over 3,000 auditions to play Elle Woods in the new Legally Blonde series, and she has not looked back. In this chat with Josh, Lexi opens up about the acting teacher who told her she wasn't the actor he thought she was, and how it almost broke her. She talks about the voice memos Reese sent her when she was doubting herself, and why she deliberately does things that terrify her. She also tells Josh what it meant to work alongside James Van Der Beek in his final ever on-screen role, and why some of the throwbacks to 2001’s Legally Blonde - like using a payphone - stopped her in her tracks. Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions, including how long it took to get ready as Elle every day and why her most dreaded small talk topic right now is her own show.

And at 22, she is only just getting started. In this chat with Josh, Asha reveals the brutal reality of child auditions and how rejection at a young age built the resilience she relies on today. She looks back on her meteoric rise over the last 18 months, going from playing a show for 40 people to 65,000 people in Hyde Park, and tells Josh who keeps her grounded through all of it. Asha gets into why intimacy coordinators create freedom rather than limit it, and lets Josh in on the great chat that kick-started her friendship with co-star Matthew Broome on a five hour flight to Tenerife.

  • Adam Lambert on the advice he got from Lady Gaga, toxic masculinity in the gay community, and the reality behind being the first openly gay artist to get a number one album
    Jun 24 2026
    From American Idol runner-up to the first openly gay man to have a number one album in the US, Adam Lambert has spent the last 17 years doing things entirely on his own terms. And with his sixth studio album ADAM out now, he's never been more honest. In this Pride month special, Adam talks candidly about toxic masculinity within the queer community, why visibility has become a double-edged sword and what he thinks Pride really means in 2026. Adam also tells Josh about the piece of advice Lady Gaga gave him backstage at the Oscars; how he reacted when he was told to tone himself down for a Biblical musical; and why the new album, written in the rawest moments post a five year breakup, is the most unfiltered thing he has ever made. He’s also now changing his approach to relationships too! Plus, Adam joins the group chat to answer your questions.

  • Russell T Davies on Queer as Folk, Online Hate and Why There's a Fight Coming
    Jun 10 2026
    From Queer as Folk to Doctor Who, It's a Sin and now Tiptoe, Russell T Davies has spent 30 years starting conversations that nobody else dares to. And he's not finished yet. In this chat with Josh, Russell opens up about why he wrote Tip Toe, a gripping new drama about two neighbours whose feud grows darker and more dangerous, and how it reflects a world where online anger is spilling into real life with terrifying consequences. He talks candidly about what it still feels like to come out every single day, why the MeToo movement barely scratched the surface, and why he thinks intimacy coordinators on set are essential, not optional. He also gets into why visibility, the very thing he has championed his whole career, may now be making the queer community a bigger target, and why he believes a fight is coming that we all need to be ready for. 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow the show on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – carrie@thenextchapterstudios.co.uk ──────────────────────── About Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is a podcast built on one belief: connection comes first.
