    This week we talk to the multi talented and all round brilliant human Angela Griffin.

Not only is Angela a national treasure but she is a hugely impressive person with a story to match. Quite frankly she’s a bloody inspiration! So crank up the volume, pop it in your ears and enjoy! And as always keep it classy ✌🏻

    Oct 30 2024

    Episode 8 is here, can you believe it? And what a corker of an episode it is. We're joined by the very talented and hilarious Donna Preston. This woman's collection of work is a thing of beauty and the girls were dying to get stuck in and hear all about her life. We discuss getting detention for a year, dressing up as a tube of toothpaste and how she’s got no patience for TikTok. We were already huge fans of Donna's before but now that's signed, sealed and delivered! Honestly, do yourself a favour and pop it in your ears!


    And as always…keep it classy.

    Oct 24 2024

    This week we sit down with the Artistic Director and joint CEO of Cardboard Citizens Chris Sonnex. Chris is putting so much good out into the world and is on a mission to make theatre for everyone, so as you can imagine we couldn't wait to hear his story. We discuss feeling like an outsider, the toy department of Harrods and how you won't find any wanky, overpriced beers in any of his venues. Chris' journey is truly inspiring and his work vital and it's honestly a brilliant and humbling chat. Oh how we loved putting the world to rights with him. Quite simply a top guy. So come on, whack up the volume and pop it in your ears, you wont' regret it!! Oh, and as always folks...keep it classy.
