    I really like Mo but struggled listen to this Podcast, I only listened as I liked the guest. All he does throughout the whole interview is say ‘hmm’ it’s soo annoying, literally after everything she said he’d go ‘hmm’. If you played a drinking game and took a shot everytime he says ‘hmm’ you’d be a gonner. Can’t listen again sadly! This is a prime example of you’re famous so have a podcast, not a great interviewer and literally speaking to fill a gap.

  • Not a good interviewer

    Only listened because Joanne McNally was a guest. Mo isn’t a good interviewer, quite boring chat which is only saved by the person he’s interviewing.

Ep 108 - Fatiha El-Ghorri on Taskmaster, Divorce & Accidentally Becoming a Comedian
Q: How do you feel about your recent TV moments and Taskmaster?
The experience was fun and authentic, with supportive people behind the scenes; I was also dealing with personal heartbreak during that period, which made those moments more emotionally charged.
Ep 104 - Dizzee Rascal
Q: What was it like watching your career explode after Boy In Da Corner?
Dizzee describes a mix of disbelief and pride, acknowledging the role of independent funding and the support system around him, and highlighting how the moment reframed what was possible for an unsigned artist.
Ep 98 - The Man Who Humiliated FIFA, Trump & Theresa May | Simon Brodkin
Q: Was there ever a stunt you considered too dangerous to attempt?
Yes, there have been moments on the wish list that could be life-threatening, and the decision to push forward comes with weighing the risk against the creative payoff; ultimately, I aim to stay in the game and avoid reckless danger.
Ep 98 - The Man Who Humiliated FIFA, Trump & Theresa May | Simon Brodkin
Q: What makes stand-up feel different from your character work and stunts?
Stand-up gives me the freedom to talk about anything and write from a personal perspective, while character work is about inhabiting a persona; both feed each other, but performing as myself has become a new core interest that complements the stunts and sketches.
