Hello! My guest this week is writer, comedian, actor and all round marvel Katy Brand. Katy is a true crusher, so I know you're going to love the conversation.

We cover some absolute classic crushes in this episode. Not just the horror that is the made up boyfriend (we've all done it, right? Just me?) but the strange allure of a good, albeit dead and murderous, vampire. I think that one is more widespread than people let on. And I know that one definitely isn't just me, as today's guest Beth Morrey shares…

EP6: Sportswashing 31:22

5M ago31:22

31:22

Is it ok to have dubious, slightly tyrannical oil-state owners of your club, if it means winning a league cup? Des and Lisa don't think so, although the majority of Totalsport’s callers, like Billy (Alan Davies) don’t seem to mind. Elsewhere, controversial motivator Alexei Gold (Tom Stourton) is invited onto the station to plug his new, dubious, pr…

5M ago35:23

35:23

Is mental health in sport actually important, or is it just trendy to say so? When a sports reporter joins the show to plug his new book and pushes the importance of player welfare, Des and Lisa expose his hypocrisy, and remind him of his on-air bullying from a previous show. Meanwhile, ex-pro Eddie Miller promotes his campaign to help footballers …

Lisa ( Lolly Adefope) and Des ( Fergus Craig) address the issue of equality in football, although judging by some of the calls coming in, there’s still a long way to go.

I get to interview someone I have been a fan of for years and years today - the brilliant and iconic Helen Lederer (Ledgenderer more like. It's going to catch on). I found the clip of her on Wogan that I mention in the intro. To make it even more enthralling, it's a real pleasure to see how confused Kylie Minogue and Jason Donovan are by the whole …

A brilliant episode this week with the hilarious BAFTA-winning actress Kimberley Nixon (Fresh Meat, Cranford, Agatha Christie's Marple) The automatically AI-generated show notes for this ep included the phrase '(Kim) discusses her rich fantasy life and how she can play out multiple scenarios in her head', but let's be honest: that barely scratches …

Now, I'm not a fan of the most romantic day of the year TM. In fact I like it so little that I banned celebrating it when I got together with my now husband and 21 years later, we have yet to eat an overpriced meal in mid-February.

My guest this week is the easily embarrassed Athena Kugblenu, talking about her teen crushes. We dredge our memories for long forgotten 90s boy bands, ponder when an older man is too old and decide whether our allegiance was to George Clooney or Goran Višnjić in the great E.R.
