Cherry Healey (Part One)

This week on Walking The Dog - we’re joined by TV presenter and queen of documentaries, Cherry Healey! Raymond is recovering from feeling a bit under the weather this week, so we spoke to Cherry from home… which meant we got to meet her spectacular Maine Coon, who is fabulously named House Party. Cherry grew up with dogs, but in her adult life she’s been a cat owner. She tells us the heartbreaking story of losing her beloved cat Party Time (yes, another fabulous name) and her childhood dog Mouflon, who she describes as a 'layered being'... We also find out how Cherry thrived at boarding school, how she feels about being popular and whether being beautiful can be a curse. The ninth series of Inside The Factory will be out on BBC One in early 2025!

Layton Williams (Part One)

It’s time to Live, Laugh, Layton! This week - Emily and Ray are in Dulwich Park with actor, singer, dancer and Strictly Come Dancing finalist Layton Williams! Layton is quite possibly one of the most charismatic people that we’ve ever met. He’s immensely warm, authentic and knows his own worth - so even though he doesn’t have a dog, we’re pretty much in love! Starting life out on an estate in Bury, Layton went on to play the lead role in the West End production of Billy Elliot. Layton tells us about moving to London - LONDON ?! - and how it felt when he had his voice break while playing a young Michael Jackson in Thriller. Layton’s next project is playing the Iceberg in Titanique. When the music of Céline Dion meets the eleven-time Oscar®-winning film Titanic, you get TITANIQUE - New York’s award-winning splash hit that turns one of the greatest love stories of all time into a hysterical musical fantasia. You can get your tickets here! Follow Layton on Instagram @laytonwilliams Listen to Emily and Raymond’s walk round Dulwich Park with Shirley Ballas from October 2021 here!

Amanda Wakeley (Part Two)

We’re in Battersea Park with the brilliantly interesting and incredibly warm Amanda Wakeley - the legendary fashion designer! Amanda tells us about some of the extraordinary people that she’s dressed in her career - including the late Princess Diana. She also tells us how she averted a near-international incident by helping Theresa May choose the outfit she wore while taking office. We also hear the real story behind the infamous ‘trouser-gate’... We then discuss Amanda closing her label after the pandemic - and how she feels about entering a new chapter and navigating grief simultaneously. We highly recommend you listen to Amanda’s podcast Style DNA - where she speaks to extraordinary people about their personal styles and the psychology behind the clothes they wear.

I don’t have a dog so I enjoy dipping in and out of this podcast when I’m out for a walk and I really liked Emily’s chat with James O’Brien this time. Also loved Emily’s book which we read for bookclub - thank you.
Hmmmm… it’s gone off the boil

Used to enjoy this but I’m getting a bit bored. The two parts are completely unnecessary and the questions are becoming samey and dull. The sycophancy level is on the up too alas. Emily just isn’t that great an interviewer and she’s been scraping the barrel with the guests lately. I’m unsubscribing.
The search is over!

I had been searching and searching for another podcast to get stuck into and at last I have found one. Thank you! I have listened to Jon Ronson, who is always super in all he does, and the Tim Key one; I am a little bit more in love with him now than before. Looking forward to listening to more.
