Blethered

I was joined by Sarah McCardie and Maureen Carr to talk about their illustrious careers and experiences in the entertainment industry, about the all-female comedy company Witsherface and what the industry is like for women in the modern age.

There's a whole lot of conversation and some good laughs, plus a couple of tunes. 'Mon!

Actress and comedian Rachel Jackson joined me in the studio (yes, an actual studio) to talk about her career and what it's like to be a woman in stand up comedy. We talked about a whole load of things from how she got into both acting and comedy, to how I used to think that my life was The Truman Show, when I was 9 years old.

Enjoy!

Part 2 of my long chat with Scot Squad creator Joe Hullait. We talked about how TV shows are made, working with the BBC and The Comedy Unit and about the Scot Squad audition process. We also discussed the 'Paedo Hunters' phenomenon and how I got thrown out of a court room for laughing, when I was 18.

Enjoy!

Connor Friel speaks about his experiences with gambling addiction and how he regained control when it was severely impacting his life. We also talk about industry manipulation tactics, Fixed Odds Betting Terminals and how the digital age has made it all too easy to hand your money directly to betting companies.

As someone who has little to no experience of gambling, this was an eye opening chat and one that I hope benefits both those who are in the midst of their own gambling issue, and those who don't fully understand the affliction and how it can cripple people.

I sat down in Glasgow with actor, comedian and close friend, Darren Connell. We spoke about Darren's early days as a rookie stand-up performer, how a chat with friend Kevin Bridges convinced him to pursue comedy as a full-time career, and a two week holiday in the depths of the Amazon rainforest in Peru. We also discuss how going booze-free has impacted Darren's career and personal life, with a random selection of other topics.
