The smash-hit interview podcast Out To Lunch is out now, with a sparkly new host on dining duty: the much loved British actor, comedian and writer Ade Edmondson.

Ade takes guests such as Chrissie Hynde, Reece Shearsmith, Tony Visconti, Daisy Haggard and Ed Byrne to a top restaurant whilst you get to hear the witty and wonderous conversation. It’s like you’re sat at the table next to us.

After breaking into the comedy circuit in the 1980s, Edmondson starred in countless British films and TV shows, including seminal comedy The Young Ones and alongside his wife, Jennifer Saunders as part of the legendary Comic Strip Presents. Ade’s more recent projects include Rain Dogs with Daisy May Cooper, Back to Life with Daisy Haggard and as Captain Peavey in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.

Andi Oliver, TV presenter extraordinaire, beloved cook and restauranteur. On screen, you will see her presenting Great British Menu, the Sky Arts Book Club and an array of acclaimed documentaries, including The Caribbean with Andi and Miquita.

Andi came to How To Fail with a total willingness to be vulnerable. She discussed her failure to crack the music industry and the death of her beloved brother, Sean, at the age of 27. She talk about her failure, as she puts it, 'to stop berating myself for not being in a much slimmer body' which leads us into one of the most moving conversations I've ever had about the terrible cost of living with an eating disorder. Andi also discusses her experiences of racism growing up in rural England and how she grew to love herself.



How to Fail is an Elizabeth Day and Sony Music Entertainment Production.
