The MarshyCast

Send us Fan Mail Stand-up comedy might look effortless from the audience… but behind every polished routine is usually a graveyard full of jokes that never worked.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I caught up with comedian Paul McCaffrey ahead of his upcoming UK tour to talk about the reality of building a live comedy show.  One of the first things I wanted to know was what happens when...

Send us Fan Mail Food has always been about more than just eating.  For Jamaican chef duo Craig McAnuff and Shaun McAnuff, better known as Original Flava, mealtimes are about connection, conversation and creating moments that matter.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , we spoke about the growing habit of people eating separately, distracted by televisions, phones… or even retreating to bedr...

Send us Fan Mail Some action films promise spectacle. Others sound like they nearly became one behind the scenes too.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I caught up with Max Beesley to talk about Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan: Ghost War, which premieres globally on Prime Video this Wednesday.  One of the first things I had to ask was whether Max agreed to the project before even reading the scrip...

Send us Fan Mail Some interviews feel less like promotion and more like catching up with someone who’s lived a few extra lifetimes since you last spoke.  That was definitely the case when I sat down with Jon McClure from Reverend and the Makers to talk about the band’s eighth studio album Is This How Happiness Feels and their new single Messed Up featuring Robbie Williams.  One of the most memorab...

George spoke passionately about what boxing clubs can offer young people. Not...

Send us Fan Mail Some singers perform songs. Others seem to live inside them.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I sat down with English blues and soul artist Jo Harman ahead of her show at Portsmouth Guildhall to talk about music, emotion and staying grounded in an industry full of noise.  Jo’s story is shaped by experience. Born in Luton and raised in the Devon village of Lustleigh, her...

Send us Fan Mail Friendship is often built on the little things.  Not the grand gestures or dramatic speeches… but the quiet moments that say, “I’ve got you.”  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , comedian Judi Love and presenter Angela Scanlon joined me to talk about what’s being called the “Sisterhood Code”… the small, everyday ways women look out for one another.  Very quickly, it became c...

Send us Fan Mail Some conversations stay with you long after the microphones are switched off.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I caught up with rapper, actor and mental health activist Professor Green, also known as Stephen Manderson, to talk about men’s mental health, sobriety, and why so many men only seem able to open up after a drink.  Before we got into the heavier subjects, there...

Send us Fan Mail Some roles demand everything from an actor… physically, mentally, and emotionally.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I sat down with BAFTA-nominated Tahar Rahim to talk about Prisoner, the gripping new series on Sky Atlantic and NOW TV.  From the moment he read the script, Tahar knew this was a project he wanted to be part of. The writing, he explained, was so strong that...

Send us Fan Mail Driving an HGV is demanding at the best of times… but imagine doing it on frozen lakes in minus 20-degree temperatures.  That’s just another day for Lisa Kelly, best known for her role on Ice Road Truckers. She joined me on The MarshyCast to talk about the realities of life behind the wheel in some of the harshest conditions on earth.  One of the most striking things Lisa shared w...

Send us Fan Mail We all like to think we’ve got a decent handle on everyday things… how much we spend, how long things take, how much energy we use. But according to Denise Van Outen, most of us are way off. In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , Denise joined me to talk about how Brits are getting their everyday “guesstimations” wrong… and how those small miscalculations can quietly add up to...

Send us Fan Mail Holidays are supposed to be an escape… but for many of us, the phone comes too.  From checking messages to endless scrolling by the pool, it can sometimes feel like we take everyday life away with us. In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , TV personality and bestselling author Charlotte Crosby joined me to talk about a simple idea that could transform time away… bringing readin...

Send us Fan Mail There are some duos that just click… and Ben Shephard and Chris Kamara are firmly in that category.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I sat down with the pair to talk about The Unbelievable Show, their new live tour taking stories, laughs and plenty of personality to audiences across the UK.  Naturally, football was high on the agenda. We spoke about Kammy’s long and colo...

Send us Fan Mail Behind the glamour of fashion, there are always deeper stories waiting to be told.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I sat down with director Alice Winocour to talk about her new film Couture, featuring Angelina Jolie and available now on Digital HD.  Set against the backdrop of Paris Fashion Week, the film follows the lives of three women navigating ambition, pressure, r...

Send us Fan Mail Country music often tells stories about home, identity and staying true to yourself… which makes Owen Morton a perfect fit for the genre.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I sat down with the Liverpudlian artist to talk about a journey that’s taken him from tough early gigs in local venues to performing at festivals around the UK… and even across the Atlantic.  Like many...

Send us Fan Mail Adapting a political story is one thing… but adapting one that still feels current, raw and unresolved is something else entirely.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I sat down with Olivier Assayas to talk about The Wizard of the Kremlin, his new film starring Jude Law as Vladimir Putin.  Interestingly, Assayas revealed he was one of the first people to read the original b...

Send us Fan Mail I caught up with actress Lisa Riley in what can only be described as a very “2026” moment — she was enjoying some time off in New York, while I’d just returned from a holiday in Wales, including the small matter of climbing Mount Snowdon. Not quite the same skyline, but we made it work.  Our conversation covered a lot of ground, starting with the realities of fame. Lisa spoke open...

Send us Fan Mail Big changes to tax can often feel overwhelming… especially when they’re described as the biggest shake-up in nearly 30 years.  But in the latest episode of The MarshyCast , consumer champion Dominic Littlewood joins me to explain why Making Tax Digital might actually be a positive step for small business owners.  At its core, the move is about modernising the way tax is managed. I...

Send us Fan Mail Joseph Millson on Empire of Lies : Two Characters, One Truth… or None at All?  There’s something quietly bold about a film that strips everything back.

That’s exactly what Empire of Lies sets out to do.  In the latest episode of The MarshyCast , I s...
