 Hello and welcome to another jam-packed episode of The MarshyCast! This week, I’ve been on a whirlwind of interviews—so many, in fact, that I couldn’t fit them all into this episode! Be sure to tune into my weekday radio shows on Express FM and HGV1 Radio, and follow me on social media to catch up on even more great conversations. Now, let’s dive into this week’s incredible lineup…

First up, I spoke with Southern Charm stars Craig Conover and Austen Kroll. Visiting London, they shared what it’s like to relive their past on TV, why their Southern roots resonate with viewers, and the true meaning behind the phrase “Bless your heart.”

Next, comedian and actress Felicity Ward joins me in the middle of her I’m Exhausting UK tour. We talk about her leading role in the highly anticipated Australian version of The Office, balancing comedy and motherhood, and the fine art of swearing (or not swearing) on live radio.

Finally, Grace Campbell stopped by during her UK tour of On Heat—after a refreshing swim in Loch Ness, no less! We chatted about finding human connection after lockdown, how her dad may (or may not) have influenced her comedic voice, and her journey to realising comedy was her true calling.

Joe takes us through the fascinating story of Brian Epstein, the man who discovered The Beatles and shaped the iconic Mersey Beat sound. We dive into Epstein’s incredible impact on music history and explore the tragic struggles he faced along the way. Joe’s passion and attention to detail make this film a must-watch, and I couldn’t be more excited for you to hear from him!

Next, I’m joined by animal expert and all-around adventurer Steve Backshall MBE, who is currently touring the UK with his Oceans show. We discuss his wild encounters with dangerous creatures, how he’s still standing after all the bites and stings, and why he’s so passionate about making shows for both adults and kids. Oh, and the big question—who would win in a fight: a crocodile or a shark? Steve’s answer might surprise you!

Finally, I sat down with comedian Robin Morgan, who is touring his latest stand-up show The Spark. We talk about keeping the spark alive in relationships after years of marriage and kids, the joy of connecting with an audience through inside jokes, and the art of being a great warm-up comedian.

First, I had the privilege of speaking with broadcasting legend Dermot Murnaghan about the gripping new series Crimes That Shook Britain. We discussed why, despite being known to the police, some perpetrators continue to commit horrific crimes. Of course, we couldn’t resist touching on a lighter note—Arsenal’s chances of winning the league!

Next, I was honoured to chat with author and former RAF navigator John Nichols, who was shot down over Iraq, about his powerful new book and tour, The Unknown Warrior. We delved into the harrowing tragedies of World War I, focusing on the countless soldiers whose bodies were never recovered.

Finally, I caught up with the hilarious Helen Thorn from the Scummy Mummies podcast. We talked about their UK tour, how the live show brings something different from the podcast, and, naturally, we swapped some of our scummiest parenting stories!

Welcome to the latest episode of The MarshyCast! I don’t say this often enough, but I feel incredibly fortunate to have the opportunity to chat with such amazing people, and I never take it for granted. As always, if you want to catch me on the air, you can tune in to my radio shows weekday mornings on Express FM at 10am, and afternoons on HGV1 at 4pm. But for now, here’s a roundup of the brilliant interviews from this past week.

First, I caught up with the always entertaining Will Mellor. We had a laugh over why I named a chicken Janet, discussed the possibility of a 2 Pints of Lager reunion, and dove into his powerful performance in Mr Bates v The Post Office. Plus, we talked about his new show Teachers.

Next, I had a lively debate with the wonderful Angellica Bell, where we found ourselves in a heated discussion about whether pineapple has a place in a morning fry-up! We also touched on her recent MasterChef experience and everything in between.

Finally, I had the pleasure of chatting with the hilarious Maisie Adam. We talked about her upcoming tour, the joy (and chaos) of pre-season friendlies, and how playing in Soccer Aid is probably the closest she’ll get to a World Cup call-up.

Thank you so much for reading and (hopefully) listening! Don’t forget to spread the word—tell a friend to tell a friend, and let’s keep this community growing.
