Tales from the Celebrity Trenches

Seriously Popular

Celebrity is an insane construct. It just is. This is the podcast that revels in the fact, celebrating it's majesty and insanity in equal measure. Whether it's the weekly breakdown of everything going on in pop culture or a chat with some of the biggest names in entertainment, this podcast truly has something for everyone... providing you’re obsessed with celebrity. Back in ye Olde 2002, entertainment veteran Jamie East founded Holy Moly, one of the UK’s most popular (and notorious) entertainment and gossip sites. Known for its irreverent tone, it built a hugely loyal following in the days of the 'wild web'. East is still known and loved for his sharp, hilarious commentary on the world of showbiz. He has stories upon stories up his sleeve, and isn't afraid to spill them.  Jamie’s back on the scene and chatting to friends old and new about the oftentimes baffling world of showbiz and entertainment, bringing his old knack for finding the funny in the seriously weird world of celebs. Expect never-heard-before insight into what being a culture shaping, gossip mongering, modern celebrity looks like.  Joining Jamie will be two hilarious comics - the brilliant Alice Brine and ex Celebrity Coach Trip alumni Matt Richardson. The world of entertainment might look pretty different to how it did when East started out. As everyone tries to cultivate the perfect reputation for themselves through social media, there's never been a better time to get behind the curtain and take a look at what's really going on.  Hosted on Acast.
