WARNING: This episode contains mentions of Ben Shephard's For Skin. For the avoidance of ANY doubt - For Skin is the name of his new skincare brand (with Joel Dommett) but it's funny to say... and Kate says it A LOT in this episode.

This is Ben's second appearance on the podcast and he's always welcome - fun fact - Kate named her son (Ben) after Ben Shephard - so as you can imagine - there's a lot of love between the two - and it makes for an exceptional conversation.

Cheers!

With the World Cup starting this week we've popped down to the cellar to bring you a true icon of the game.

Jeff Stelling is a legend of sports broadcasting - as the host of Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday his passion for football was infectious. This conversation took place in 2025 ahead of a one-man show - but it's a deeply personal conversation that we hope will get you in the mood for the World Cup.

Cheers.

Hold onto your wine glasses, because this episode is a rollercoaster of mishaps, massive setbacks, and the true power of resilience. Andrea McLean spills the tea about her journey from a TV star to surviving financial ruin, and a really serious health scare, and emerging with a new, shameless vibe.

It really is an incredible journey - so incredible that this is PART 1 of the story, and PART 2 will be out on Saturday.

Grab a glass and get inspired!

Oh... and if you want to buy Andrea's book you can find it here. You really should, it's excellent.

Cheers.

We need a legend alarm... if we had one - we'd be sounding it right now.

Ben Elton is not just a comedy legend who helped redefine stand-up comedy. He's not just the brains behind one of the greatest TV comedies of all time. He's not just a prolific author whose books tackle subjects as diverse as TV talent competitions to Nazi Germany. He's all of these things and much more.

In the first of two episodes (Ben will be back to answer one of YOUR questions on Saturday) we asked Ben about every thing from being inspired by The Beatles (specifically George Harrison) to drinking your own urine. Trust us, it's quite a story.

Ben's book 'What Have I Done' is out now

Cheers!

We have a cunning plan!

Every week we dive into our archive of almost 500 episodes to bring you some gems from the past EIGHT years.

Today - it's one of the great entertainers. Whether you first saw Tony as Baldrick in Blackadder, or as the passionate presenter of Time Team, or whether you read one of his (many) children's books Tony's been an ever-present on our screens for generations.

As he launches a new book at the Hay Festival this week we thought it was a great time to revisit this episode from 2023.

Cheers!
