  • Lovely but too many ads

    Emily is as chatty and charming as always. However 25 minutes of adverts for a 40 minute podcast is crazy.

    Discovered this podcast late so now have the luxury of being able to choose the one I fancy. Have listened to about 20 so far and they’ve all been great. Loved the one with Adrian Chiles and of course the one with Frank Skinner.

  • In Love

    This podcast has helped me so much with creative angst, I could get back to painting again. Emily is such an incredible, fun and gracious person who has a very radio phonic voice as well. I love listening to those unique conversations with her famous guests on the move, I get a vicarious joy of walking from Emily Dean’s podcast while I am currently stuck indoors under the AC in a desert climate. I am so grateful for this podcast has, my dog listens to it too.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Sara Barron (Part Two)
Q: What are the challenges of balancing motherhood, dogs, and a creative career?
Motherhood intensified the complexity of care and attention for the dog, which made it harder to balance the demands of parenting with the unpredictability of a freelance creative life; ultimately, managing expectations and seeking healthier arrangements helped align both goals.
Sara Barron (Part Two)
Q: How did the early experiences in New York influence your career trajectory?
Living and performing in New York exposed me to big-city gigs and a demand for sharp, personal storytelling, which shaped my approach to comedy and my willingness to take risks on stage.
Sara Barron (Part Two)
Q: What led you back to stand-up after you had stepped away for a long time?
Geoff encouraged me after seeing me host, suggesting that my on-stage presence and storytelling could be channeled back into stand-up, which ultimately helped me regain confidence and return to performing.
Mollie King (Part One)
Q: What are some big challenges you faced with fame early on?
She talks about how a thick skin wasn't innate, dealing with negative press, and the realization that success demanded hard work and resistance to distractions.
Mollie King (Part One)
Q: How did The Saturdays come together and get signed?
After years of gigging with a DIY band, a Polydor A&R contact saw Mollie perform, leading to auditions that culminated in five girls being selected and forming the group under a structured plan.
