Judi Love & Angela Scanlon on the “Sisterhood Code” and the Tiny Things That Matter
Friday, 8 May 2026
Send us Fan MailFriendship 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 clear that the Sisterhood Code is operating on a completely different level to the Brotherhood Code. In fact, during the conversation, I realised men probably only manage about one thing on the entire li...

Professor Green on Men’s Mental Health, Sobriety and Why So Many Men Wait Too Long to Talk
Thursday, 7 May 2026
Send us Fan MailSome 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 was a moment of nostalgia as I asked whether he remembered interviewing with me around 15 years ago. The answer was… sort of. Which felt fair enough. But the heart of the conversation focused on what s...

Tahar Rahim on Prisoner: Performance, Precision and Playing the Game
Thursday, 30 April 2026
Send us Fan MailSome 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 he could immediately see himself stepping into the character. One of the most unique aspects of the role is the physical connection at the heart of the story. Tahar and co-star Izuka Hoyle spend much ...

Lisa Kelly on Ice Roads, Real-Life Challenges and Returning to Truckfest Lincoln
Wednesday, 29 April 2026
Send us Fan MailDriving 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 was how normal extreme cold becomes. While most of us would struggle to function, for her it’s simply part of the job. But that doesn’t mean it’s easy. We spoke about the huge differences between summe...

Denise Van Outen on Guesstimations, Smart Meters and a New Chapter as a DJ
Tuesday, 28 April 2026
Send us Fan MailWe 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 wasted time, money and unnecessary stress.It’s a simple idea, but one that hits home. Whether it’s underestimating how long a task will take or overestimating how much something costs, those little gue...

Charlotte Crosby on Bringing Reading Back to the Holiday
Monday, 27 April 2026
Send us Fan MailHolidays 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 reading back to the holiday. Charlotte spoke warmly about family holidays and how much they mean to her. One trip in particular stood out, a Christmas in Dubai, made even more memorable by making a consciou...

Ben Shephard & Chris Kamara on The Unbelievable Show, Football and Friendship
Thursday, 23 April 2026

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.

Alice Winocour on Couture: Paris, Personal Stories and Working with Angelina Jolie
Tuesday, 21 April 2026
Send us Fan MailBehind 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, relationships and reinvention. But as Alice explained, beneath the stylish setting lies something much more personal. One of the most fascinating parts of our conversation was hearing how autobiographic...

Owen Morton: Liverpool Roots, Country Dreams and Doing It His Own Way
Monday, 20 April 2026
Send us Fan MailCountry 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 artists, Owen’s beginnings weren’t always glamorous. He spoke honestly about singing cover songs in rooms where audiences weren’t particularly interested. In one memorable moment, he was even cheered o...

Olivier Assayas on The Wizard of the Kremlin: Power, Politics and Telling a Story Still Being Written
Friday, 17 April 2026
Send us Fan MailAdapting 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 book… but initially turned down the chance to bring it to the big screen. It’s a decision that says a lot about the scale and sensitivity of the story, and the responsibility that comes with telling it....

Lisa Riley: Fame, the Jungle & Walking for a Cause
Wednesday, 15 April 2026
Send us Fan MailI 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 openly about being recognised not just in the UK, but internationally too — from Poland to the streets of New York. It’s something that comes with the territory, but as she explained, it also brings its ...

Dominic Littlewood on Making Tax Digital: What It Means for Small Businesses (and Why It’s Not as Scary as You Think)
Tuesday, 14 April 2026
Send us Fan MailBig 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. Instead of last-minute stress and piles of paperwork, the system is designed to help businesses stay on top of things in real time. And according to Dominic, once you get your head around it, it can gen...

Friday, 3 April 2026
Send us Fan Mail 🐣 Michael & Hilary Whitehall: Easter Eggs, World Tours… and a Bit of Portsmouth Love There are some double acts that just work… and then there’s Michael Whitehall and Hilary Whitehall. Best known to many as the brilliantly entertaining parents of Jack Whitehall, the pair joined me on The MarshyCast for a conversation that quickly turned into something between a travel diary, a family debate… and a masterclass in dry humour. We started with a very important question. Are you ever really too old to receive an Easter egg? Their answer… not at all. Although, as they explained, ...

Fresh from performing at Country to Country, the duo joined me on The MarshyCast to talk about their experience playing to British crowds… and one moment stood out above everything else. Hearing fans across the UK singing their songs word for word. For artists travelling thousands of miles from home, that kind of connection hits differently. And it’s something Ryan & Rory were genuinely blown away by. We also got into their music, i...

Joseph Millson on Empire of Lies: Two Characters, One Truth… or None at All?
Tuesday, 31 March 2026
Send us Fan MailJoseph 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. No sprawling cast, no distractions… just two characters, one setting, and a story that leans entirely on tension, dialogue and trust. That’s exactly what Empire of Lies sets out to do. In the latest episode of The MarshyCast, I sat down with Joseph Millson to talk about the film, which he also co-wrote alongside director Matthew Hope. The result is a tightly wound psychological drama where every line matters… and every silence ...
