Podcasting, Romance, and Raw Honesty: A Conversation with Creators Who Redefined the Rules

I’m joined by actual podcasting royalty: James and Jamie, the genius minds behind My Dad Wrote A Porno. We talk about their wild creative journey - from discovering Jamie’s dad’s erotic novel (yes, really) to amassing over half a billion downloads and selling out the Royal Albert Hall.Now, they’ve turned another jaw-dropping true story - a woman getting stuck in a window after a toilet mishap on a first date - into a rom-com musical. We dive deep into how they turned viral embarrassment into theatrical gold, what it’s like to collaborate creatively for 20 years, and why being “authentic” matters more than ever in this era of social media polish.We also chat love, dealbreakers, the madness of modern dating, and why musicals (and laughter) might just be the best form of therapy. This one is pure joy.WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUGot a question or a story to share?Text or send a voice note on 07796657512 - just start your message with LOBUse the WhatsApp shortcut: Prefer email?
