Josh Smith's Great Chat Show

Next Chapter Studios

Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is a podcast built on one simple belief: connection comes first. After decades as a journalist, Josh Smith has sat down with some of the world’s most recognisable faces - from Jennifer Aniston to Timothée Chalamet - and one thing has become clear: great conversations don’t just happen. There’s an art and a science to a great chat - and when you understand it, a whole world of connection opens up. Each episode is a warm, inviting sanctuary where actors, artists, athletes, and politicians drop their guard and genuinely open up - creating space for laughter, honesty, and the kind of moments that spark conversations in your own life. Because when connection comes first… everything else follows. Alright then - fancy a chat?

    Theo James on The Manosphere and Male Body Image

    From playing Club Rep in The Inbetweeners movie to the star of Divergent, The White Lotus, The Gentlemen, and now action thriller Fuze (out in cinemas now) — Theo James has quietly won us all over.  In this chat with Josh, Theo opens up about the pressure of being a leading man in an industry obsessed with physicality, and why the rise of the manosphere worries him deeply. He reflects on a culture increasingly defined by money and status over relationships and morality — and what that means for young men today. He also gets candid about his short-lived music career, his UN Ambassador work with refugees, and fighting with Anthony Hopkins.  P.S If you are looking for even more Great Chat, Josh Smith's audiobook ‘Great Chat: Talk To Anyone, Make New Connections, Improve Your Relationships’  is available on Spotify, free for premium subscribers.

    Charithra Chandran: ‘My experience post Bridgerton has tempered my ambition’

    From starring in Bridgerton to appearing in the comic book adaptation One Piece, Charithra Chandran is one of the most exciting talents redefining what representation looks like on screen. In this chat with Josh, Charithra opens up about the profound responsibility of being a woman of colour in an industry that wasn't built for her, including the racism, apathy, and backlash she faced when cast in One Piece. She discusses why her post-Bridgerton journey has quietly reshaped her ambitions and gets candid about therapy, heartbreak, and learning — finally — to ‘take the wins’ and ‘let love in’. 🎥 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.
