  • Marc please learn something

    Marc ruins this. His lack of knowledge and insistence that he is right all the time is exhausting. Steve and Stuart - save yourselves

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Chris Forbes on Viral Boston Prank, From "Wifeseeking" to Being a Dad & His Summer Christmas Show
Q: What inspired you to make your Edinburgh Fringe show Christmas-themed and set around Christmas time?
Forbes explains that Christmas content has a universal resonance for families and that personal memories—photos, traditions, and the shared experience of Christmas—offer strong material. He wanted to explore a narrative arc that blends festive storytelling with his own life, including becoming a father and the idea of family traditions evolving over time.
CMB on Ten-Pin Bowling, Picking a Football Team & Who Loves a Holiday
Q: What brings you to Riyadh for this episode?
A mix of live festival energy and the chance to record in a new venue, plus a host-led plan to feature guests and travel stories.
Natasha Halevi on Superman, The Role of AI in Hollywood & Celebrity Wedding Celebrants
Q: How do you feel about AI and its impact on film and performance rights?
There's a mix of fascination and concern, especially around likeness rights and how AI could shift ownership or control over an actor's image, which raises serious legal and ethical questions for the industry.
Natasha Halevi on Superman, The Role of AI in Hollywood & Celebrity Wedding Celebrants
Q: What was it like to work on Superman and to be involved in such a high-profile film?
It was an incredible experience with an amazing set and a collaborative atmosphere; the scale and artistry were remarkable, and being part of James Gunn's creative space made it feel like an inspired, hands-on process.
Writers Cramp on Motivational TikToks, Playing Rugby for Scotland & Getting What You Want From Life
Q: What was your turning point in rugby that translated into your later online success?
Exemplary practice discipline and a willingness to endure pressure, plus learning from setbacks and using mentors and peers to improve, which later informed the discipline needed to grow a large online following.
