    Lisa Riley: Fame, the Jungle & Walking for a Cause

    Send us Fan Mail I caught up with actress Lisa Riley in what can only be described as a very “2026” moment — she was enjoying some time off in New York, while I’d just returned from a holiday in Wales, including the small matter of climbing Mount Snowdon. Not quite the same skyline, but we made it work.  Our conversation covered a lot of ground, starting with the realities of fame. Lisa spoke openly about being recognised not just in the UK, but internationally too — from Poland to the streets of New York. It’s something that comes with the territory, but as she explained, it also brings its own challenges and pressures.  Of course, we couldn’t not talk about I’m A Celebrity. With the new South Africa series getting people talking, I had to ask — would she ever go back into the jungle? Lisa gave a brilliant, honest answer that fans will love.  But the most powerful part of our chat was hearing about her work with Breast Cancer Now and the Pink Ribbon Walks. After losing her mum, Lisa has channelled that loss into something incredibly positive, dedicating time and energy to raising awareness and supporting others affected by cancer. Her passion for the cause really shines through.  It’s a conversation that moves from light-hearted to deeply meaningful — and one that really stays with you.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Dominic Littlewood on Making Tax Digital: What It Means for Small Businesses (and Why It’s Not as Scary as You Think)

    Send us Fan Mail Big changes to tax can often feel overwhelming… especially when they’re described as the biggest shake-up in nearly 30 years.  But in the latest episode of The MarshyCast, consumer champion Dominic Littlewood joins me to explain why Making Tax Digital might actually be a positive step for small business owners.  At its core, the move is about modernising the way tax is managed. Instead of last-minute stress and piles of paperwork, the system is designed to help businesses stay on top of things in real time. And according to Dominic, once you get your head around it, it can genuinely save both time and money.  One of the biggest misconceptions is around penalties. There’s a fear that one small mistake could lead to instant fines. In reality, there’s a built-in safety net… with three warnings before any kind of penalty is issued. It’s designed to guide people into the system, not catch them out.  We also talked about how these changes might feel particularly daunting for older people or those less comfortable with digital systems. That concern is very real… but so is the support available. From guidance to tools and advice, there are ways to make the transition much smoother than many might expect.  Ultimately, this is about taking something that feels complicated… and making it simpler over time.  🎧 You can listen to the full conversation now on The MarshyCast, available on Apple, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Michael & Hilary Whitehall: Easter Eggs, World Tours… and a Bit of Portsmouth Love

    Send us Fan Mail  🐣 Michael & Hilary Whitehall: Easter Eggs, World Tours… and a Bit of Portsmouth Love  There are some double acts that just work… and then there’s Michael Whitehall and Hilary Whitehall.  Best known to many as the brilliantly entertaining parents of Jack Whitehall, the pair joined me on The MarshyCast for a conversation that quickly turned into something between a travel diary, a family debate… and a masterclass in dry humour.  We started with a very important question. Are you ever really too old to receive an Easter egg? Their answer… not at all. Although, as they explained, there are rules. If it gets too expensive, don’t be surprised if they expect to buy it back off you.  Naturally, the conversation drifted into their “worldwide” tour… which, it turns out, comes with some fairly strict geographical limits. Let’s just say they’re happiest when it doesn’t stray too far north.  There were also tales of travel mishaps, including a moment involving Singapore and Australia that proves even the most seasoned travellers can get things slightly… misplaced.  Beyond the laughs, we also talked about family, performance, and the unique dynamic they bring to the stage together. It’s that mix of warmth and wonderfully dry wit that’s made them such a hit with audiences.  And in a lovely moment closer to home, they also shared their fondness for Portsmouth… which, of course, went down very well.  If you’re after a conversation that feels like sitting in on a very funny family chat… this one’s well worth your time.  🎧 Listen now on The MarshyCast, available on Apple, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Ryan & Rory on UK Fans, C2C and Why a Lawn Chair Might Be All You Need

    Send us Fan Mail There’s something special happening between UK audiences and country music right now… and if you needed proof, look no further than Ryan & Rory.  Fresh from performing at Country to Country, the duo joined me on The MarshyCast to talk about their experience playing to British crowds… and one moment stood out above everything else. Hearing fans across the UK singing their songs word for word.  For artists travelling thousands of miles from home, that kind of connection hits differently. And it’s something Ryan & Rory were genuinely blown away by.  We also got into their music, including one of their most eye-catching song titles, Lawn Chair in the Living Room. It sparked a conversation that will probably resonate with a lot of listeners… because, as we discovered, sometimes all you really need is a comfy chair, a TV and a games console. Simple pleasures done right.  Looking ahead, there’s plenty of excitement about what comes next. The duo shared their hopes for returning to the UK for a full tour, something that feels less like a possibility… and more like a matter of when.  And of course, we also talked about their latest release, Wasn’t Thinkin’, giving fans another taste of what they do best… honest, relatable country music with a modern edge.  If their reaction to UK crowds is anything to go by, this is a relationship that’s only just getting started.  🎧 You can listen to the full conversation now on The MarshyCast, available on Apple, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Joseph Millson on Empire of Lies: Two Characters, One Truth… or None at All?

    Send us Fan Mail Joseph Millson on Empire of Lies: Two Characters, One Truth… or None at All?  There’s something quietly bold about a film that strips everything back. No sprawling cast, no distractions… just two characters, one setting, and a story that leans entirely on tension, dialogue and trust. That’s exactly what Empire of Lies sets out to do.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast, I sat down with Joseph Millson to talk about the film, which he also co-wrote alongside director Matthew Hope. The result is a tightly wound psychological drama where every line matters… and every silence might mean even more.  One of the most fascinating aspects of the film is its simplicity on paper. Just two characters. But as Joseph explains, that’s exactly where the challenge lies. With nowhere to hide, the performances have to carry everything. And that’s where Natalie Spence comes in, bringing a presence that constantly keeps the audience guessing.  We also explore how the characters come to know each other, and how their relationship slowly unfolds in a world shaped by conspiracy and uncertainty. It’s a film that plays with perspective… asking the audience to question what’s real, what’s manipulation, and whether the truth is ever fully within reach.  Of course, there’s one big challenge when talking about a film like this… the twist. And without spoiling anything, let’s just say it’s the kind of ending that reframes everything you thought you knew.  Joseph also opens up about how involved he was on set, having written the film, and what he ultimately hopes audiences take away from it. Is it about truth? Control? Or simply the stories we choose to believe?  One thing’s for sure… Empire of Lies isn’t a film that gives you easy answers. And that’s exactly what makes it linger.  🎧 You can hear the full conversation now on The MarshyCast, available on Apple, Spotify and wherever you get your podcasts.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Kelly O & Tania Evans on 90s Rave, Top of the Pops & The Originals Live Tour

    Send us Fan Mail Kelly O & Tania Evans on 90s Rave, Top of the Pops & The Originals Live Tour  On this episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by Kelly O (SL2 & Capella) and Tania Evans (Culture Beat) to look back at one of the most exciting periods in music — the early 90s rave scene.  We talk about how both artists began their journeys, and how different their paths into the industry were, before finding themselves part of a movement that would define a generation.  From chart success to performing on Top of the Pops, they share what it was like to see their music explode across clubs, charts and countries.  We also explore why rave culture became so popular — and why, more than 30 years later, it’s finding a whole new audience.  That resurgence is being brought to life through The Originals Live tour, featuring some of the biggest names from the era, including Anita Doth (2 Unlimited), Evi Goffin (Lasgo) and DJ Slipmatt, as the tour heads across Europe, including a stop in Portsmouth.  It’s a nostalgic, energetic and fascinating look back at a scene that never really went away.  🎧 Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Thomas Ian Nicholas on American Pie, Music & Touring the UK

    Send us Fan Mail Thomas Ian Nicholas on American Pie, Music & Touring the UK  On this episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by actor and musician Thomas Ian Nicholas, best known for his role in the American Pie films, but now also touring the UK with his band.  We talk about his music career, what fans can expect from a full TIN Band show compared to a more stripped-back acoustic performance, and how his audience has evolved over time.  Thomas reflects on whether people still come to see him as “the guy from American Pie”, or whether his music has taken on a life of its own. We also discuss his relationship with the film that made his name, and whether he leans into the nostalgia that comes with it.  Away from the stage and screen, we get into family life, how relationships with your children change as they grow older, and the surprising way he connects himself — at least in part — to the careers of Kate Winslet and Daniel Craig.  It’s a funny, honest and wide-ranging conversation about identity, nostalgia and finding new paths.  🎧 Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh

    Ep 135. Mark Sowerby

    Send us Fan Mail Mark Sowerby on Ocean Swimming, Endurance & the Story Behind Don’t Be Prey  On this episode of The MarshyCast, I’m joined by ocean swimmer Mark Sowerby, whose extraordinary journey is captured in the new documentary Don’t Be Prey, arriving in cinemas on Friday 20th March.  Mark’s story began with a challenge that many would consider unthinkable — swimming the English Channel. What followed was a series of endurance feats that not only tested him physically and mentally, but also helped raise over $1 million for charity.  We talk about what it takes to push your body and mind to those extremes, the real dangers of ocean swimming, and how you cope when things become overwhelming.  Mark also opens up about the making of the documentary and what he hopes audiences will feel and reflect on after watching it.  It’s an inspiring and honest conversation about resilience, purpose and what it really means to go beyond your limits.  🎧 Available now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and wherever you listen.  Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh
