Richard E. Grant: My Dad Tried To Shoot Me

Jan 27th, 2026 12:03 AM

It’s not every day a certified LEGEND like Richard E. Grant comes round for a chat on my sofa. Nicknamed the ‘Kindest Man in Hollywood’, he is an Oscar-nominated actor who starred in blockbusters like Withnail & I, Dracula and Saltburn.We covered everything from his turbulent childhood, losing his wife Joan of 38 years, being betrayed by a close friend - oh and Richard’s love of the Traitors.

Russell Kane: We’re Not Raised To Be In Touch With Pleasure

Jan 13th, 2026 12:03 AM

Russell Kane is someone I have SO much respect for! I’m so grateful for his honesty in this conversation, from discussing sexual literacy to dealing with the loss of his dad.After winning his first comedy award in 2004, his career grew very quickly. He was forced to learn the ropes in the public eye and is open about his regrets. We also spoke about his Nan, who encouraged him to go to university and how she walked in on him… enjoying some alone time 😬 This was such a fascinating conversation, especially hearing Russell’s willingness to openly reflect on his own decisions and mistakes. I loved chatting to Russell and I hope you enjoy this episode!—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima Rathbone, Emilia GillAssistant Producer: Alex ReedVideo: Grisha Nikolsky, Josh Bennett and Harry SawkinsSound: Joe RichardsonMix: Rafi AmsiliOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & Ewan Newbigging-ListerExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
