    William Shakespeare

    One of the most famous and celebrated writers of all time, I personally prefer Sally Wainwright who wrote Happy Valley and Scott & Bailey but I guess Shakespeare has done some alright work as well. This episode is a good one, it's less talking about his work and more about how he left his family behind as he went to London to pursue his career. And we discuss some of his rumoured affairs. Also I have a quick chat with my friend and very funny comedian Lily Phillips to find out what she knows about Shakespeare. Also I ask the age old question, why does Alicia Keys have a piano in every music video?

    Marie Antoinette

    Marie Antoinette had a very crazy and expensive wardrobe and she knew how to throw a party, however she was not the most liked queen. In fact she was hated by the people of France and became the last queen of France before the French Revolution. This is such an important story in history, it is a story of normal working class people fighting for equality, whilst the top 2% live life large with no empathy for those struggling. So much drama in this episode because this is the story when the people got together and fought to get rid of the Monarchy. I also talk about the experience of my first Gregg's after lock down and why I keep accidentally breaking things. We have another drop in visit from comedian and friend Hannah Platt and she give's some extra gossip.I hope you enjoy the Episode.
