Juliette sits down with mountaineer, speaker and long-running Quality of Life host Raha Moharrak for a candid debrief on what it really takes to keep a podcast alive for nine seasons. From a cold DM to a creative partnership, they unpack how friendship, trust and showing up, even at 2 percent phone battery on borrowed Wi-Fi, turned a tiny idea into a consistent and loved series.

They talk about the moments that shaped Raha’s voice on mic: years of sport that taught discipline and resilience, the shift from shyness to speaking on global stages, and the responsibility she feels when representing Saudi in rooms and feeds around the world. Inside the studio, Raha shares how she reads guests before the red light, builds a genuine safe space and co-produces in real time so conversations feel human, not performative. Outside it, they get honest about sponsorship, creative stamina and why simple beats perfect when you are starting out.

Along the way: live recording chaos at a TRX event, the joy of meeting people you would never otherwise meet and the future pulls, a travel podcast and maybe a book. If you are a host, producer or just someone who wants to make something that lasts, this one is a gentle push to begin and a reminder to keep your heart in the work.

Juliette chats to Nigel May: multi-hyphenate presenter, author and podcaster, whose career runs from 90s teen mags and showbiz journalism to shopping telly, Gaydio shows and his own podcast series A Gay Old Time.

They talk about how years in magazines shaped Nigel’s approach to storytelling, how his radio experience sharpened his interviewing craft, and how podcasting offers a unique space for depth, vulnerability and voice.

We dive into the star-studded interviews (Britney, Destiny’s Child, Christina Aguilera), the books (his “sexy six-pack” blockbusters, The Girl Unknown, cosy crime Quilling Me Softly), and what it really takes to turn a raw recording into something listeners want to lean into.

Today we talk Brighton and queer community, how respect builds better conversations, and why the best hosts listen more than they talk. Nigel shares the mindset shifts that helped him grow confidence behind the mic, the power of saying why not me?, and the collaboration that turns an idea into a polished podcast.
