Roony - CEO of Risky Roadz Productions... this is the guy that put grime on the map and watched it go from the streets of East London to take over the world. Skepta, Dizzie, Wiley, Ghetts, he worked with them all from day one, filming their rise to the top. Risky Roadz DVDs dominated before Youtube, and he was the man holding the camera and giving fans an insight into London's Grime scene.

It feels crazy to think but this was a time before social media - if you wanted to put a face to a name, you had to go through Risky Roadz DVDs.

Recently, Roony has go on to direct music videos for Skepta's award winning, 'Konnichiwa' album, he has had his documentaries released through Vice & Amazon and he is the brain behind Channel 4's, 'Grime Gran.

Strap yourself in and grab a Guinness Punch, it's time for Risky Roadz.

Listen, we don’t hold grudges on this show and if any guest was going to cancel on us for THE BLOODY ONE SHOW, we would allow it to be Maisie Peters. But we’ve finally dragged her, not kick and screaming, but rather hesitantly, into our word of rubbish grub!

Hot off the back of dropping her new album we are privileged to have Maisie spinning our roulette wheel this week. However, and this is a word of warning - this episodes contains name dropping throughout and the sort of Ed Sheeran love even his own mother would consider awkward. She is his first label signing, so you could have probably predicted it.

Not only that we talk about fan-girling over Taylor Swift, meeting Sam Smith and what it takes to get, ‘Crazy Maisie’ to come out. Grab a vodka and lemonade, it’s Maisie Peters time,

There is only thing I am interested in, and that’s interviewing bent coppers! Welcome to the Dangerous Dinners Podcast Craig Parkinson. Craig is a legendary British actor known best for holding down the role of DCI Dot Cotton in Line of Duty. A stalwart of great drama in the UK having played both The Kray Twins in Whitechapel and an amazing role in Charlie Brooker’s, ‘Bandersnatch’.

It was an utter joy to sit down with Craig and over the next 60 minutes you expect the best food section we have ever had, the sort of light hearted chat which could soothe a crying baby and restaurant recommendations that will have you grabbing for the phone to book.

Please crack open a Manchester based IPA and welcome… Craig Parkinson!

It’s a boy band special, never before on this show have we been graced by a full band, but, today is that day! Today we are in the company of Reece, Blake and George of New Hope Club fame.

ALL THE GOOD THINGS HAVE COME AT ONCE... this week on the show not only are we joined by an actual olympian, but we are joined by an olympian who is a member of the British Empire. It’s the legend that is Chris Mears.

Chris has the life that you believe only happens in fiction - when training for a diving competition in Sydney his spleen ruptured causing him to almost die, he lost 2L of blood and had a 5% survival chance. He was told he would never dive again. 2 years later he won gold in Rio.

On top of all this he has recently left diving behind to become a DJ/Producer as part of the Bloodline duo, supporting Labrinth and Pendulum on stage and releasing music with The Vamps. This episode is an absolute rollercoaster. Strap yourself in… it’s Chris Mears.
