  • Fun but insightful podcast

    Pip is a great interviewer, insightful in his questioning and allows conversation to flow naturally with his interviewees. The range of guests is impressive and it’s not the same cast of characters you often see working the podcast scene!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Helen Chamberlain (Soccer AM / animal rescue hero) • Friday Rewind
Q: What's next for you?
I don't know, I think I'm kind of retired now, but I've never had a plan and it has served me okay so far.
Helen Chamberlain (Soccer AM / animal rescue hero) • Friday Rewind
Q: How did you end up on Soccer AM?
Every job I've had has been by accident. I went in for a role after discussing football, and, although I was not a huge soccer fan, it all worked out from there.
Helen Chamberlain (Soccer AM / animal rescue hero) • Friday Rewind
Q: What do you think of the current state of animal rescue?
Charities are realizing that if they keep re-homing stray dogs, there are more and more strays being born, so they are now neutering street dogs in an effort to control the population.
Helen Chamberlain (Soccer AM / animal rescue hero) • Friday Rewind
Q: How did you get involved with the Romanian charity?
I go down a couple of times a week to Chimney Farm International Dog Rescue in Guildford.
Armando Iannucci (The Death Of Stalin / In The Loop / Veep) • Friday Rewind
Q: How was it going from British politics to doing a Veep?
It didn't feel scary. Speaking to HBO, they were a little bit like working with the BBC maybe 10, 15 years ago where they just kind of approached you and let you get on with it.
