Mark Ronson, roast chicken with fennel, shallot & white bean stew and a dirty vodka martini

Our award winning duo meet a DJ and producer who knows a thing or two about acceptance speeches.

Mark Ronson is a BRIT, Golden Globe, Grammy and Oscar-winning British-American DJ, record producer, musician and songwriter. He has added ‘author’ to that list, too, with the release of his memoir, Night People, an account of becoming a DJ in ‘90s New York. The book is full of incredible stories and entertaining celebrity encounters, and you get a tasty sampler of them in our chat over roast chicken. 

We start the episode with a dirty vodka martini and a side of Monster Munch before a hearty roast chicken with fennel, shallot & white bean stew, appealing to Mark’s love of Sunday roasts. This is paired with a glass of Vignerons Ardechois Viognier and served alongside tales of working with Paul McCartney and Lady Gaga and the joy Mark gets from being a dad.  

Mark and Nick’s own friendship stretches back to the noughties, and nights out together with the likes of Adele and Amy Winehouse. Nostalgic memories are sparked across the table, including one involving a hungover Nick in New York and a party hosted by Leonardo DiCaprio. 

There’s also time to celebrate Nick and Angela’s gong for Best Hosts at this year’s British Podcast Awards. We couldn’t be prouder of them. Cheers!
