Man Marking - Episode 39 - Rick Edwards

Episode 39 The reality of fame, and making your parents proud.  If you are of a certain age, you will probably have first come across Rick Edwards on channels 4's T4, where he worked as a presenter alongside the likes of Jameela Jamil, Nick Grimshaw, and Matt Edmunson.  Following his four years on T4, Rick has presented a litany of TV and radio shows. Recently, Rick has co-hosted a podcast called Science(ish), with quantum physicist Dr. Michael Brooks, and has co-written two books of the same name.  In our first episode of 2021, we talk to Rick about his relationship with football, his life as a maths student at Cambridge University, learning the tools required to open up more, and the realities of fame.  You can find us on Twitter @marking_man and don't forget to use the hashtag #WheresTheTalkingLads  If you have been affected by any of the themes discussed in today's episode, we have listed some organisations below who are there if you need to talk: Samaritans  Call 116 132 for free https://www.samaritans.org/ Papyrus UK Call 0800 068 41 41 Papyrus Website CALM ZONE 0800 58 58 58 https://www.thecalmzone.net/help/helpline/
