Dr David Hamilton is on the Balance podcast! 

Our editor and founder Sophie Scott sat down with Dr David to talk about the importance of kindness. 

Given this is a live episode, as you can imagine, this was recorded a few weeks before what we're all currently going through.

Yet given the themes, we hope this will provide some sort of nourishment for the soul. On behalf of BALANCE, our thoughts are with you all.

Straight off the bat, there is no way Prue Leith is 80. We talk about this, Prue & niece Peta's fantastic new book and much more.

Also, please know, this was recorded before the global corona pandemic - we feel it necessary to point out as we all sound so jolly.

New book, The Vegetarian Kitchen, is available to buy here. Peta is vegetarian. Prue enjoys meat yet is cutting back. So they combined their vast knowledge on what promises to be one of the year’s major releases.

BALANCE gets very Northern on this Leeds-tastic episode of the BALANCE podcast. And that's because our guest is the pride of Leeds: Mark Stanley!

Dynamo is on the BALANCE podcast!

The king of magic (we've given him that name) is back after five years away, and his new Sky One show - Beyond Belief - promises to be another stone-cold classic. After all, this is someone who has changed the game when it comes to magic.

In this candid chat, Dynamo talks about the school bullies who inspired him to dig deep and push himself further than he thought possible. He talks about his battle with Crohn's disease. And talks about his great passion: magic.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to work at Pixar? Balance certainly has.

We chat with Pixar producer Kori Rae, who has seen her career flourish at the beloved animation studio. Kori has worked on some of Pixar's tentpole pieces, with the latest - Onward - set to be yet another mega-smash.

The film star Tom Holland, Chris Pratt and Julia Louis Dreyfus as a suburban family struggling with grief yet united by love. And, this being Pixar, there is a delicious twist: this is a family of elves, with the film is set in a magical realm. That means brothers Holland and Pratt must team up and go on a quest with a view to bringing back their dad... And we will say no more than that!

Onward is in cinemas now.
