Join Emily and Ray in London’s Victoria Park for a walk with the brilliant comedian Rhys James. Rhys is actually more of a cat man, but Raymond absolutely adored him nonetheless! 
Rhys tells us about growing up in Harpenden, what it meant to be a small boy at school, how he feels about being liked and the limited circumstances under which he will accept compliments. 
Rhys has written a brand new podcast - Dial F For Football: a comedy series that goes behind the scenes of the most popular fictional sport radio station in the country - Totalsport FM. It stars Lolly Adefope, Fergus Craig, Jessica Fostekew & Helen Cripps. You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts!

Katherine Ryan (Part Two)

This week on Walking The Dog, it's the one-and-only Katherine Ryan! We met Katherine in a location in Hertfordshire that was far too muddy for someone as glamorous as she... although Katherine dealt with it VERY well.... much better than Raymond. Katherine caught us up with her three dogs: Manny, Meg and new addition Cardi B - and they are all absolutely adorable!
After encountering a few hurdles with the locals and the mud, Katherine tells us all about the games she played with her sisters growing up, what it was like to be interviewed by Louis Theroux and whether she really does tell everybody everything.
