In this episode, Chris has the pleasure of welcoming TV and movie actress and producer Val McAdoo to the show!

Val drops in to chat about her career so far, starting with her involvement in the award-winning horror film 'D-Railed' (which went above and beyond the character she portrayed on screen!) through to her role in front and behind the camera on the independent movie 'Game Day' and the wonderful work she has embarked on with The Actor's Co-op, an acting school with a difference which Val co-founded with fellow actor and producer, Pete Postiglione (who also returns for a cameo appearance in this episode!)

'D-Railed' and 'Game Day' are both currently available to view on Amazon Prime Video and you can also see Val in the Amazon series, 'Certifiable'.

At 7-foot-tall, over 300lbs and a former professional wrestler adored and fear the world over, Jeff Bearden is certain a person whose mere presence commands attention. During a 30-year-plus career, Jeff competed in front of some of the biggest and most passionate (or craziest?) crowds and shared the ring with some of the biggest names in the sport.

Following on from his previous chat with Chris back in 2021 over on 'Once Upon A Turnbuckle', Jeff returns to share more of the stories from his life, both in and out of the squared circle, some of which are now immortalised in Jeff's recently-released autobiography, 'The Man Behind The Makeup'.

In this episode, Chris welcomes back singer-songwriter Maryen Cairns to talk about her long-awaited - and soon-to-be-released - new album, 'ANEW

“It was like a switch clicked inside my head and suddenly I was creating music from a new perspective, writing sidewards, out of the corner of my eye,” says singer-songwriter Maryen Cairns on her 7th album, ANEW.

Scottish-born, Australian raised, 10 years performing and writing in London’s original music scene, motherhood in the QLD rainforest - moved to the island of Guernsey not long before covid hit. Isolated in a place full of history’s remains, a seed of creativity germinated into something sweet. Recording in her home studio she captured the basis of the introspective, yet uplifting, mood.

ANEW is released on the 11th November 2022 and can be pre-ordered via Maryen's website: www.maryencairns.com
