    Self Esteem: Success Is The Best Revenge

    Rebecca Lucy Taylor (AKA Self Esteem) is an absolute icon to me! The most talented singer, actor AND author, what can’t she do?? We spoke about our shared experiences as female musicians in the industry, her ‘dream’ holiday (turned nightmare), and whether calling yourself Self Esteem actually helps you have any…  We also spoke about postpartum psychosis with my good friend and author Laura Dockrill. Her brilliant memoir “What Have I Done?” is out now. This was such an interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!! You can catch Rebecca starring in “Teeth ‘n’ Smiles” at the Duke of York theatre in London from March 12th, tickets are on sale now! Her book ‘A Complicated Woman’ is out now.

  2. Samuel L. Jackson: My First And Last Podcast

    Samuel L. Jackson: My First And Last Podcast

    Samuel L Jackson is one of the most well-regarded and iconic actors of his generation. From catching the attention of Hollywood in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever to playing Nick Fury in the the Marvel franchise and of course his continued career collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, Sam has become one of the most loved actors in Hollywood, and a friend no one ever believes I have! Sam very kindly agreed to pop over to mine when he was last in London for his first ever podcast appearance (and his last!). He spoke to me about growing up in segregation and being on the right side of history - appearing in Kendrick Lamar's iconic Super Bowl Half Time Show. We chatted about his career, from being a high functioning addict and raising his daughter Zoe, to how he makes such evil characters so real and likeable. We talked about therapy and near-death experiences, road-rage and the key to a successful marriage... We didn't leave a stone unturned - it was a JOY! And it will also be the only time you'll ever hear Sam on a podcast - lucky me! #SAMUELLJACKSON #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy Video: Josh Bennett & Grisha Nikolsky Sound: Joe Richardson Mix: Jay Beale Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

  3. Olly Alexander: I Was Destroying My Body

    Olly Alexander: I Was Destroying My Body

    This week’s guest is the incredible singer, actor, activist and all round icon Olly Alexander. He’s genuinely one of the most talented people I’ve EVER met…from the huge success of his band Years & Years, to his unforgettable performance in ‘It’s A Sin’, to representing the UK at Eurovision, I’m in complete awe of him! We spoke about the madness of sudden fame, his ‘reformed party girl’ status, and the grief of losing his incredible Gran. We also get into the importance of standing up for your trans friends, especially at a time when anti-trans rhetoric feels louder than ever. It was such an honest, funny and moving chat and he’s welcome back any time (even though I’m still fuming that he has a Madame Tussauds waxwork and I don’t). You can see Olly alongside loads of amazing artists at Trans Mission on 11th March at Wembley Arena! Get tickets here. Thanks again to my new roommate Jonny Woo (@jonnywoouk) for joining us to share his LGBTQ+ partying history lesson. You can find more about his bar, The Divine, here.  Please note, this episode contains discussions of drug use. — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Edit Producer: Rema Mukena Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Lizzie McCarthy Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

    Vogue Williams: I Ran Away From My Grief and Got Married

    Vogue Williams is a queen of podcasts; she's a mother with a great sense of humour and is incredibly beautiful. She's also recently released her first book - honestly, the comparisons between us are too numerous to mention. Vogue opened up about her fear of death and how losing her dad sent her into a spiral of being wild and reckless. She shared the story of the worst thing she's ever done - it involves stealing, lying, and it made my jaw drop... We joked about posh people, and Vogue told me about the depths of her anxiety which can make her feel mad at times. I absolutely loved chatting to Vogue - we laughed from start to finish - even if my neighbour Nicky did try to sabotage the interview to talk about the bin collection! If you'd like to read Vogue's new book, Big Mouth you can find it here: www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Mouth-hilarious-heartwarming-hyperactive/dp/0008743371 And thanks to my neighbour, Nicky, for popping by - you can follow him on IG @nickyjohnstone #VOGUEWILLIAMS #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy & Ceyda Uzun Video: Josh Bennett & Grisha Nikolsky Sound: Shane O'Byrne Mix: Miles Wheway Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Vogue photo by Ruth Rose Hosted on Acast.

  5. Jen Brister: I Want To Be On The Right Side Of History

    Jen Brister: I Want To Be On The Right Side Of History

    Jen Brister is someone who I admire not only for her fearless approach to comedy and life in general, but for her vocal stance on what’s happening in Palestine. She runs a non-profit to help families over there, All Our Relations and we met at a Palestine Solidarity event. Ever since then, I knew I wanted to have her on the pod... We chatted about the crossover with comedy, politics and questioning authority and were lucky enough to be joined by the amazing Professor Nick Maynard, a leading surgeon, who had just got back from a trip to Gaza two days prior. We spoke to him about what it’s like on the ground over there and how it feels to now be back in the UK. My amazing mate, Tai Shani, who’s a Turner Prize winning artist, and daughter of Holocaust survivors, also popped in to speak about why, as a Jewish woman, she feels so compelled to speak out against the horrors of what is happening in Palestine.  This is a really special episode for me and something I’ve wanted to make for a long time. I wanted to re-humanise a situation that all too often gets turned into stats on a news report. Thank you for listening.

    Romesh Ranganathan: I Help Others Because I Couldn't Help My Friend

    TW: This episode contains discussion of suicide Romesh Ranganathan is known for his BAFTA Award winning show, Rob & Romesh, presenting across TV and radio and his hallmark cynical comedy - but really, what shines through is his generosity, openness and vulnerability, particularly around the subject of mental health.  We talk about how hard it is to tell when someone’s really struggling with their mental health, talking therapy with your children, what it’s really like going to Centre Parcs when you’re in the public eye and Romesh makes a big, BAD confession.  Plus – Romesh’s Mum, Shanthi pops by for a chat with me and my mum, Pam; we talk all about Shanthi’s incredible sacrifices, the impact of Romesh’s relationship with his Dad on his mental health – and Romesh and I bond over what it’s like having Mums that will fight for you on social media comments but also humble you more than anyone.  Hope you all enjoy x If you would like support on any of the issues mentioned in the episode, please head to CALM - www.thecalmzone.net #ROMESHRANGANATHAN #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Producer: Magda Cassidy Video: Josh Bennett & Lizzie McCarthy Sound: Shane O'Bryne Mix: Shane O'Bryne Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
