Sam’s guest this week was comedian and actress Ellie Taylor, who arrived in the studio made-up with a lipstick homage to the final BBC Great British Bake Off winner Candice Brown and showing off her ultra-flexible thumbs.

We talked Podcasts and Radio, self-promotion and the challenges of being a funny woman… “talent plus hard work plus opportunity = you’re ready” was Ellie’s formula for success.

The news headlines brought up a tattooing tragedy and Sam revealed the story of her own tattoo… a tale of overcoming anxiety in a Thai Bar.
