White Wine Question Time

In the 8+ years of this pod we haven't invited many guests back for a second appearance - but we knew we had to make an exception for Fern Britton. Small screen royalty Fern is a TV pioneer and a woman we can ALL learn from. Now living in Cornwall, writing her incredibly successful novels and back on our screens with 'Inside the Vets' on ITV she shares her knowledge on coping with children leaving...

We do like to ponder our selections from the cellar - and when we finished recording Seann Walsh we knew exactly who to pair his episode with - so please enjoy a bottle of the finest Jack Dee. Jack joined us back in 2024 to talk about what was then his new podcast with Seann 'For the Love of Dog' - a sort of canine 'Parenting Hell' The podcast's still going strong, and Seann was great last week -...

Seann Walsh doesn't want us to mention his tour merchandise in these show notes (you'll hear why) so instead here's his tour schedule . There's so much more to Seann than the headlines you've inevitably read, and it was great to sit down with him for a chat about parenting, perspective and why he's stopped selling his tour merch. We also got ALL the goss from THAT I'm A Celebrity final - what did...

Is the Wimbledon music playing constantly in your head this week? Do you smirk at the suggestion of 'new balls please'? Is Today at Wimbledon a must watch? If so you'll love what we've selected from our archive to bring you today. Judy Murray has been the matriarch of British tennis over the past decade - not just by virtue of bring mum to two of the greatest homegrown players to have ever the cou...

Naga Munchetty has been on our wish-list for a long time, and we're thrilled to have her as the guest on this episode. Her new book It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women’s Health Crisis (and How to Thrive Despite It) is out now and it's a strong recommend. It exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed, drawing on Naga's own exp...

Fancy a classic interview from our cellar? Well you're in the right place. A couple of years ago we spoke to DJ Fat Tony - who might not be a household name - but BOY has he seen and done it all, and by all, we mean ALL. It's an extraordinary, and often shocking story, so strap in! We'll be back with a brand new episode on Thursday. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more informati...

Welcome back to part 2 of our chat with Vicky Pattison - and if you've seen any of Vicky's series Maybe Baby you'll know that her discussions around parenting can be extremely honest and emotional. Here Vicky answers one of YOUR questions - and it concerns fertility and starting a family. There are tears. We love Vicky for her honesty. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more inform...

This week it's a WELCOME BACK to Vicky Pattison - she's completing her hat-trick of episodes, and it's quite an emotional one. In this part we chat about the women who she credits as saving her life, her reflections on reality television and her approach to the haters. We always love having Vicky on the show - on every appearance she's shown us a more mature side to herself that was there all alon...

Continuing our mini-series of World Cup inspired episodes from our archive - this week it's the turn of the Gabby Logan - she'll be fronting much of the BBC's coverage this Summer, but we caught up last year and spoke our plenty more than just the beautiful game!

WARNING: This episode contains mentions of Ben Shephard's For Skin. For the avoidance of ANY doubt - For Skin is the name of his new skincare brand (with Joel Dommett) but it's funny to say... and Kate says it A LOT in this episode. This is Ben's second appearance on the podcast and he's always welcome - fun fact - Kate named her son (Ben) after Ben Shephard - so as you can imagine - there's a lot...

With the World Cup starting this week we've popped down to the cellar to bring you a true icon of the game. Jeff Stelling is a legend of sports broadcasting - as the host of Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday his passion for football was infectious.

We need a legend alarm... if we had one - we'd be sounding it right now. Ben Elton is not just a comedy legend who helped redefine stand-up comedy. He's not just the brains behind one of the greatest TV comedies of all time. He's not just a prolific author whose books tackle subjects as diverse as TV talent competitions to Nazi Germany. He's all of these things and much more. In the first of two e...

Joining us a couple of days after his 62nd Birthday is one of the icons of BritPop. As the drummer in Blur he had a front row seat for the 90s music scene, and thankfully he had the forethought to photograph a lot of it. Now collated into a book 'No One You Know' he's in a nostalgic mood, and in our conversation we reminisce on Smash Hits, life before camera-phones and that time Blur played the fi...
