Great Company with Jamie Laing

Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy scene 15 years ago. Since then, he’s become one of the UK’s most successful and popular comedians - from his sell-out stand up tours to his hit podcast Parenting Hell, Rob & Romesh Vs and now, Celebrity Traitors.

I'd been trying to get Rob on the show for years, so finally sitting down with him for a proper laugh was a real pinch-me moment.

Behind the jokes is a comedian who's found his voice, stopped worrying about what other people think, and uses it to give us all a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom in the world.

In this conversation, Rob shares:
Being told he was stupid by a teacher and how it stayed with him
How he found his voice as a comedian
The moment on Rob vs Romesh he realised he was burnt out
How having kids holds a mirror up to your own childhood
A surprise message from his wife, Lou

This conversation is a reminder that the best version of yourself is usually the one where you stop trying to be anything else.

Rob Beckett is Great Company.

George Clarke is one of the biggest British social media stars of his generation, followed by millions of people online.

He’s gone from posting funny videos in his university bedroom to making regular Sidemen appearances and reaching the Strictly Come Dancing final last year.

George’s rise happened faster than he ever expected. What surprised me most, though, was discovering that behind the funny videos is a self-confessed introvert who’s had to learn to live his life in the public eye.

In our conversation, George shares:
Growing up as an introvert but always wanting to be a YouTuber
His Mum’s health struggles & why she’s his hero
His thoughts on KSI leaving the Sidemen
Why him and his friends started Friends From Work

George was one of the nicest, funniest people I've had the pleasure of sitting down with, and I can't wait to see what he does next.

In this episode, she shares:
How weight loss drugs really affect our bodies and minds
The connection between GLP-1s and addiction
How ‘skinny jabs’ are changing our supermarket shelves
Why young women may face unique long-term risks from GLP-1s

This is a fascinating conversation about medication that’s changing the way we think about our health, our bodies, and our relationship with food.
