It was an honour to record this episode. We overuse words such as ‘hero’ and ‘inspiration’ but Sir Chris Hoy is both. Not only is he one of Great Britain’s most successful Olympic athletes (during a record-breaking career as a sprint cyclist, he won six gold medals, one silver medal, and 11 world championships) but he’s currently living with a Stage 4 prostate cancer diagnosis. In September 2023, a seemingly routine trip to the doctor’s turned into a waking nightmare when he was given between two and four years to live. His beloved wife Sarra was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis a month later. And yet, these two extraordinary people say they are lucky.

Listen to this episode if you want to feel joy, hear wisdom and learn how to live with love in the face of death. Sir Chris - you’re an amazing human being. Thank you for spending this precious time with me.

If you or someone you love is going through a mental or physical health challenge, as Sir Chris Hoy says: you are not alone. You can call the Samaritans 24/7 on 116 123.`

All That Matters by Sir Chris Hoy is out now.

When I started How To Fail, I had a list of dream guests. Kirsty Young was on it. Not only because she’s one of the greatest interviewers of all time but also because her style of broadcasting (especially during her time on Desert Island Discs) is the standard I aspire to every week on this podcast.

Her intelligence, warmth and ability to listen - both to what is being said and what isn’t - are what mark her apart. It was an honour to be allowed to ask her the questions for a change and a delight to spend time in her company because she’s FUNNY too. Truly, the ideal woman.

We talk about her self-stated failure ‘to excite her birth father enough for him to stick around’, her failure as a quiz-show host and her failure to meditate. Along the way, we touch on her experiences interviewing the great and the good…and some who were neither. We talk about her anchoring of the late Queen’s funeral and Kirsty’s ability to sum up the mood of a nation. We discuss step-parenting, the liberation of age, clickbait, living with a chronic illness and why she wishes she’d run off with a Guatemalan tribesman (but settled for love at first sight with her husband, Nick Jones, instead).

TW: sexual assault

I love Justins. I haven’t met a bad one yet. I’m even married to one. Justin Baldoni continues the trend of Great Justins. He’s intelligent, empathetic and unbelievably eloquent (honestly - it was such an easy interview because I hardly had to ask a single question; I just sat back and listened).

An actor and director, Baldoni played Raphael in the rom-com Jane the Virgin for five years, before directing and starring in It Ends With Us - the film adaptation of Colleen Hoover’s hit novel. And don’t worry - we talk ALLLL about it.

He’s also a speaker, producer and entrepreneur. His book and eponymous podcast ‘Man Enough’ both seek to reframe modern masculinity, and were inspired by his hugely successful TED talk on the necessity of deconstructing traditional stereotypes about masculinity. In doing so, he seeks to fight the oppression of all genders. Well, I think we can all say hurrah to that.

Introducing MICHELLE VISAGE - 'I was scared to death of sex' from Origins With Cush Jumbo.

Follow the show: Origins With Cush Jumbo

From adoption to Ru Paul’s drag race, via more than a few New York clubs, Michelle Visage has made herself a global queer icon. But Cush gets to know the woman behind the ‘Visage’ (a name she gave herself while voguing and party hopping in 80s NYC). Michelle really opens-up about her difficult childhood, beginning with adoption into a New Jersey family, an unusual relationship with her mother, sharing her experience of being bullied as a teen by the mean girls at school, and how she became ‘cool’ when she found her first boyfriend, all while being ‘terrified’ of sex.

Michelle also takes us into the excitement of the underground vogue scene in New York, and how she found her chosen family. Oh, and she shares her secret for a happy marriage: you’ll have to listen to the end, her answer will surprise you.  This truly is a woman who has lived a life, and she shares it all with you here on Origins with Cush Jumbo.

A Sony Music Entertainment production

Lovely, lovely, LOVELY Luke Evans. I think he’s quite possibly one of the nicest men in Hollywood - a bona fide A-Lister after star turns in Beauty and the Beast, The Hobbit, Fast & Furious, to name but a few. And yet, his early life was challenging. Raised as a Jehovah’s Witness, he was unable to be open about his sexuality for fear of banishment from the church and rejection by his parents. He left home at 16, moved to Cardiff to study singing, and eventually became a successful musical theatre actor before finally landing a movie role at the age of 30, which would change his life forever. He hasn’t stopped working since.

Luke and I talked about being gay in Hollywood, his physical insecurities (despite being the embodiment of a certain kind of masculine perfection on-screen) and how his early days of knocking on doors with his Jehovah’s Witness parents prepared him for rejection in his career. His failures? To find a soulmate until his 40s, accepting success and a failure to learn what his dad knows. I also get to study his tattoo and ask him who his favourite Hollywood co-star is and why…

Introducing JC CHASEZ from LadyGang.

Follow the show: LadyGang

JC Chasez joins the LadyGang podcast as the latest guest, bringing his signature charm and insight into his latest project, the Broadway (hopefully) musical Playing with Fire. The conversation delves into the creative process behind the show, as JC opens up about his transition from pop superstar to theater innovator, sharing what it’s been like to explore a new artistic avenue. Of course, the topic quickly turns to *NSYNC, and JC reflects on the band's legacy, their reunion at the 2023 VMAs, and what it’s like to see the continued love for their music. And naturally, no LadyGang episode would be complete without a little nostalgia, so the ladies can’t resist asking about JC’s iconic *NSYNC wardrobe choices, particularly his famous turtlenecks. JC gives a playful and candid explanation behind those signature fashion statements, making this episode a perfect mix of Broadway buzz, pop culture reminiscing, and plenty of laughs.

Andy Cohen doesn’t just shape the culture. He is the culture. And if you think I was excited-slash-terrified to interview a man who means so much to me (despite us never having met until this moment) then you would be entirely correct.

In many ways, Andy is the godfather of reality TV. He’s responsible for the birth of The Real Housewives franchise, without which we would never have had some of the most iconic small-screen moments of the last 20 years or spin-off shows such as Vanderpump Rules and Below Deck. He’s also the host of the phenomenally successful late-night talk show Watch What Happens Live, the author of five New York Times bestselling books and has even appeared as Zeus in a Lady Gaga music video.

We talk about…everything. I get all the tea on The Real Housewives - its inception, its stars and which housewife gives him the best gifts. We chat about that baby shower. We talk about why John Mayer would be Andy’s ideal husband. We talk about gay parenting, surrogacy and why an incident in a playground with his son left him feeling like a failure. We talk about knowing your audience, how difficult it is to deal with online trolling, why he’s never had any plastic surgery and whether he’d ever share a bath with Meredith Marks. One of my favourite ever interviews. Thank you so much, Andy!
