Ep 98. James May, Ian Stone & Caitlin Mellor

Send us Fan Mail 🎙️ Hello and welcome to The MarshyCast! If last week’s episode was a four-course feast, this week’s is a much more slimming meal — lighter, tastier, and guaranteed to leave you wanting more. 😉 But here’s a little secret… the next few weeks are going to be massive as we edge closer to the magic 100th episode of The MarshyCast! 🎉 We’re nearly there — and trust me, I’ve got some huge names lined up, including the brilliant Adam Richman (Man v Food) and the one and only Jeremy Piven (Entourage, Mr Selfridge). Those chats aren’t quite ready to serve yet, but keep an eye on my socials for some early tasters! Oh, and don’t forget — you can catch me live every weekday on Express FM (10am) and HGV1 Radio (4pm) as things start to heat up heading into Christmas. Now, on to this week’s delicious episode… 🚗 James May – former Top Gear presenter and all-round legend – joins me to talk about his new show James May’s Shed Load of Ideas. We chat about why acting like a bunch of overgrown 12-year-olds seems to work so well on TV, the ideas that looked great on paper (but not so much in practice), and the one invention that’s so good, I can’t believe no one’s done it before. Oh, and why his grandkids might just grow up filthy rich. 😂 Comedian Ian Stone – on tour with Looking for the Wow. We talk about finding that spark in everyday life, why a £20 comedy ticket is a better investment than a fancy coffee, and the perils of comedians navigating social media — because, let’s face it, not every clip is gold! 🤖 AI expert Caitlin Mellor – on how one in five Brits now consider AI to be their friend! We discuss how we should treat AI, the positive ways it can make our lives easier, and how it might just take a load off our mental to-do lists. Don’t worry — it’s not quite The Terminator… yet. So there you have it — a perfectly portioned MarshyCast: lighter, leaner, and just as satisfying. Stay tuned, because the next few weeks are going to be big! Find me on all social media @paulswampymarsh
