A Very Nigel(la) Quiet Riot: Xmas Special Part I

from Quiet Riot · host Alex Andreou, Naomi Smith, Kenny Campbell

Alex Andreou and Naomi Smith welcome two very special guests - their best friends Nigel Smith and Nigella Lawson - to look back at a momentous year, the moments that have depressed, delighted, and surprised them, the people they have admired and the telly they have binged. As well as an incredible six months of Quiet Riot. Recorded with a special live audience of many of our previous guests! Plus the 'Wokiest Dokiest' of 2024. PART II is out on Christmas Eve and is all about FOOD!!! ***SPONSOR US AT KO-FI.COM/QUIETRIOTPOD*** “If you're in the outrage business, you've got to take the opportunities where they arise.” “European countries seem to be moving in the direction of having three power blocks of roughly equal share basically that can't agree on anything, a kind of universal gridlock.” “What happened to Giséle Pelicot does explain why women are quite justifiably anxious about moving around in the world. Yes, you could argue: it's an aberration, this isn't happening in every house. But nevertheless, it is clearly eminently doable for a great number of men.” “Only 10% of people under 27 put English mustard in a ham sandwich. And that does make me worry.” “I love cheese, but I really draw the line at Tiramisu Wensleydale or an Espresso Martini Wensleydale, can I say? Science has gone too far.” CALL TO ACTION: You can donate to Duchenne UK here. You can register for the cycle run here, to raise money for Duchenne UK.
