  1. Episode 10: Will Dean

    Will has been one of my favourite Twitter friends for a few years now, and we've recently become real life friends. I wanted to talk to him about writing, getting published, the stuff he likes to read, and his wild life in the swamp in Sweden. Will tweets at @willrdean, and his novel, Dark Pines,...

  2. Hello Friend - My favourite podcasts

    Ahead of the final episode of season 1 of Hello Friend, I compile my top 5 favourite podcasts that you might enjoy while I'm away.

  3. Episode 9: Grace Barber-Plentie

    In this episode I talk to Grace Barber-Plentie about all things film, from all-time faves to trailer crimes to trying to carve her own space in the film world as a young woman of colour with Reel Good Film Club. Grace tweets at @gracesimone and you can find Reel Good Film Club at @gottobereel.

  4. Episode 8: Fil Marra and Brad Clark

    In this episode I talk to Jazmin Lee, queen of groundbreaking indie plus size brand Plus Equals (http://www.plusequals.co.uk). I wanted to hear about her fashion inspirations, what it's like being a one-woman operation and what it takes to get something like that off the ground. We discuss making...

  6. Episode 6: Dominic Falquero

    In this episode, I talk to my old friend Dominic about our shared experiences of homophobia at secondary school, the world of drag and how badly work can affect your mental health. Dominic performs as Cola Phalquero and can often be found at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern. He tweets at @errorfied.

  7. Episode 5: Sofie Hagen

    In this episode I talk to comedian Sofie Hagen because she's someone I like a lot, and appearing on her podcast was at least partly the inspiration behind starting a podcast of my own. We discuss her past misdeeds, and misdeeds done against her by people in the standup world, bad fatphobic jokes,...

  8. Episode 4: Jools Walker

    In this episode, I talk to Jools Walker, aka VeloCity Girl. She blogs at velocitygirl.co.uk and describes herself as a cycle-style blogger, and while I thought I wanted to talk to her about cycling (because it terrifies me), what I really wanted to hear about was making your way in an industry…

  10. Episode 3: Alice Slater

    In this episode, I talk to my longtime friend Alice Slater about two great things: LiveJournal and books. She's a bookseller at Waterstones Gower Street and has flawless literary taste. We talk you through the appeal of now-dead journalling platform LiveJournal, go deep on thrillers, talk about...

  11. Episode 2: Lotty Burns

    In this episode, I talk to moneysaving genius Lotty Burns about her best-ever deals, buying up all the cheese in Tesco, getting depressed and reading Twilight, and her attempt to kick her Diet Coke habit. We also talk about the years of her life that Lotty has wasted at Slimming World/Weight...

  12. Episode 1: Michael Chapman

    In this episode, I talk to my friend, photographer Michael Chapman.
