  • Introducing... Please Tell Me A Story
    Jan 16 2023

    More stories from our team... Omid tells his story to Abi. Abi tells Omid’s story to Sean, then Sean to Kai, Kai to Sikisa and Sikisa to Helen… each time with hilarious misrememberings, improvisations, stumbles, fumbles and laughs. Six comedians have a funny story to tell. Can they pass the story along the chain without completely twisting the tale? But this isn’t like the game you play at school where you only whisper short sentences. Each episode is a complete, beautifully written story, with each retelling getting funnier (and weirder!) as it passes on. And boy, does season one of Please Tell Me A Story feature an all star comedy cast: Omid Djalili, Abi Clarke, Seán Burke, Kai Samra, Sikisa, and Helen Bauer. Join them as the story gets weird…

  • Rosemary Jane
    Sep 25 2019
    To round off the series Frank is joined by the remarkable woman who inspired the final song on his album No Man's Land, Rosemary Jane, aka his mum! She might not be a historical figure just yet, but there’s still time! The pair discuss the album as a whole, the tales of each of the women who inspired it and Rosemary offers some choice memories from Frank's childhood - whether he likes it or not!

Fantastic, Interesting and Entertaining Podcast

I really enjoy Frank Turner, like a lot of people I first ‘stumbled’ across him at the start of the 2012 Olympic Open Ceremony. Since been to see him live. This podcast adds so much and you realise what depth Frank Turner has. Such an interesting insight into women in history and the story behind this superb album. Highly recommended
