  • 4.11 Maxine Peake
    Nov 21 2024

    And just like that, our last episode of the series is here. And what a cracking series it's been...but don't cry yet because we figure we're going out with a pretty big bang. We chat to a true working class hero and national treasure, the one, the only, Maxine Peake. We discuss chatting politics with her grandparents, sharing life guard duties with Paddy McGuinness and of course, auditioning for the iconic Victoria Wood. We loved this conversation so much, Maxine is as lovely as she is talented and we promise you're going to enjoy. So, what you waiting for? Get it on now!


    And until next time, remember folks, always keep it classy.


    Thanks for tuning in!

  • 4.10 Juliet Sear
    Nov 14 2024

    Did someone say cake? Not that we would ever need an excuse to have the brilliant Juliet Sear in for a chat but having brought us a delicious gooey chocolate treat it does sky rocket her to one of our dreamiest guests. We loved chatting to Juliet about how a birthday cake for her one year olds birthday started her on the road to success. We chat growing up in pubs, cakes for Vogue and just bloody making things happen for yourself. Juliet was truly inspiring and we hope you enjoy this chat as much as we did. So grab a slice and a cuppa and get this episode in your ears now.


    And remember as always, keep it classy.


    Enjoy folks and thanks for tuning in!

  • 4.9 Angela Griffin
    Nov 7 2024

    This week we talk to the multi talented and all round brilliant human Angela Griffin. We chat the joys of growing up on a council estate, playing the first ever black Alice in Alice in wonderland and wild wee’s in bushes. It’s such a great episode this week. Not only is Angela a national treasure but she is a hugely impressive person with a story to match. Quite frankly she’s a bloody inspiration! So crank up the volume, pop it in your ears and enjoy! And as always keep it classy ✌🏻
