People always tell me that Jordan Stephens is the kind of man we need more of in the world—and honestly, I couldn’t agree more.You might know Jordan as one half of the iconic hip-hop duo Rizzle Kicks, but he’s since grown into a powerful voice across multiple platforms. He’s a podcaster, actor, and now a Sunday Times bestselling author with his raw and brilliant memoir Avoidance, Drugs, Heartbreak and Dogs.Jordan opens up about the damage we do in relationships - how he’s confronted his own past, learned from his mistakes, and worked to heal from the pain he’s caused and the pain he’s carried.We also explore love, masculinity, and why acts of hatred towards an entire gender might be a mirror for something unresolved within ourselves. Jordan holds a type of vulnerability that’s powerful and raw, and his commitment to honesty is both disarming and inspiring.It was a privilege having Jordan on, even though he may have stolen my mum’s heart in the process...Hope you all enjoy this episode x#JORDANSTEPHENS #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Magda CassidyVideo: Jake Ji & Lizzie McCarthySound: Shane O'BryneMix: Shane O'BryneOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Ruby Wax: I Wish I'd Had More Boyfriends
People have always likened me to Ruby Wax - I suppose because she says it like it is and isn’t afraid to speak her mind. For those exact reasons I couldn’t wait to have her over, and let her loose in my house…Ruby is a world-class interviewer, from smashing up a hotel room with Jim Carey, being attacked with a banana by OJ Simpson, to getting kicked off Donald Trump’s private jet - she’s done it all! She’s also spoken openly about her depression, earning an OBE for her services to mental health. We spoke about how she always thinks the worst of people and the sadness of unrequited love.I loved having Ruby over but I would quite like my hat back!!#RUBYWAX #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Magda CassidyVideo: Jake Ji & Lizzie McCarthySound: Shane O'Bryne Mix: Shane O'BryneOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Vogue Williams: I Ran Away From My Grief and Got Married
Vogue Williams is a queen of podcasts; she's a mother with a great sense of humour and is incredibly beautiful. She's also recently released her first book - honestly, the comparisons between us are too numerous to mention.Vogue opened up about her fear of death and how losing her dad sent her into a spiral of being wild and reckless. She shared the story of the worst thing she's ever done - it involves stealing, lying, and it made my jaw drop... We joked about posh people, and Vogue told me about the depths of her anxiety which can make her feel mad at times.I absolutely loved chatting to Vogue - we laughed from start to finish - even if my neighbour Nicky did try to sabotage the interview to talk about the bin collection!If you'd like to read Vogue's new book, Big Mouth you can find it here: www.amazon.co.uk/Big-Mouth-hilarious-heartwarming-hyperactive/dp/0008743371And thanks to my neighbour, Nicky, for popping by - you can follow him on IG @nickyjohnstone#VOGUEWILLIAMS #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Magda CassidyVideo: Josh Bennett & Grisha NikolskySound: Shane O'ByrneMix: Miles WhewayOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will MacdonaldVogue photo by Ruth Rose Hosted on Acast.

Samuel L. Jackson: My First And Last Podcast
Samuel L Jackson is one of the most well-regarded and iconic actors of his generation. From catching the attention of Hollywood in Spike Lee’s Jungle Fever to playing Nick Fury in the the Marvel franchise and of course his continued career collaboration with Quentin Tarantino, Sam has become one of the most loved actors in Hollywood, and a friend no one ever believes I have!Sam very kindly agreed to pop over to mine when he was last in London for his first ever podcast appearance (and his last!). He spoke to me about growing up in segregation and being on the right side of history - appearing in Kendrick Lamar's iconic Super Bowl Half Time Show. We chatted about his career, from being a high functioning addict and raising his daughter Zoe, to how he makes such evil characters so real and likeable. We talked about therapy and near-death experiences, road-rage and the key to a successful marriage...We didn't leave a stone unturned - it was a JOY! And it will also be the only time you'll ever hear Sam on a podcast - lucky me!#SAMUELLJACKSON #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneAssistant Producer: Magda CassidyVideo: Josh Bennett & Grisha NikolskySound: Joe RichardsonMix: Jay BealeOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
