Welcome to my new podcast They Don't Teach This At School, each week I'll be speaking to some brilliant guests to share their tips on how they and their families survive life's challenges. My first guest is an exclusive interview with my friend, Amanda Holden. You'll know her as an actress, singer and presenter. She hosts Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and she's a judge on Britain's Got Talent. She's had an incredible career in showbiz and has juggled it all on top of being a mother to two girls. Amanda is an incredible friend and I turned to her when I created my own blended family, and she taught me how it can be the most wonderful gift.
We're back! Season three kicks off with a strong start as Emma relays a tale of an aspirational astrological asaparamancer and an X Factor wedding. Katie delves in deep with a board game loving ghoul in a little shop of horrors.Follow us on Instagram and send us your most Hunbelievable stories!@hunbelievablepodcasthunbelievablepodcast@gmail.com
I first met Jonathon Michael Wyer over the phone. He was introduced to me as “Producer Jon”, and he was prepping me before I went live with Ivan and Emma on their Heart Breakfast radio show. I then was passed over, and started playing a game called The Big Town Showdown….I did terribly. Doesn’t matter though, I’m still awesome.Anyway, Max and I then met up with Producer Jon on Ivan’s stag do, and our friendships were solidified. So what better way to celebrate this friendship, than to have Jon on our podcast to talk about DREAMS!This episode is all about the nighttime brain theatre that plays in our heads when we settle down into our slumber. All of our dreams are different, for example:Some of us dream about falling to our deaths!Some of us dream about a way to complete a computer game that we’ve been stuck on for days!Some of us have a whimsical dream about a cheeky time we have with Amelia Clark!….and some of us…..well…ONE of us…He lives in the terrifying world between the states of awake and sleep. It’s in this reality, that Max Michael Clendaniel has regular interactions with…THE SHADOW PEOPLE! I’m not kidding, Max retells the most terrifying accounts of what happens when this man goes to sleep. And it happens over and over!!SHHHHHHHHHHHHHHThen we move on to the main story. Producer Jon tells us what happens when you complain directly to the CEO of Apple! You’d think that someone like that would ignore a complaint coming from a random dissatisfied Apple consumer…..but you’d be wrong!

For over 17 years law graduate Paris Troy was the poster boy for Heart Breakfast in Bristol & the South West initially with Bush & Paulina and then Ed. In May 2019 after major programming changes Heart Breakfast became a national show leaving the region without their favourite presenters and no local output. Hundreds of thousands of listeners were left devastated as the corporate wheels of commercial radio came rolling into Bristol. In this interview One Love Breakfast host Pat Hart gets up close & personal with Paris exploring his Welsh/Greek Cypriot heritage and getting a little insight into him outside radio.
As Global Radio continued to focus each of its national brands on a single programming stream where possible, Friday 24th May 2019 saw the regular presenters of many local Heart breakfast shows across the UK say their farewells. Some of the presenters shifted to drive-time (and several drive presenters had their farewell shows that day too) – but for some breakfast presenters, this was the last day doing what they loved. Enjoy here a few snippets from across the UK – and prepare yourself for the one at the end. "I am an accidental presenter. I used to be a carer. I was never supposed to be a radio presenter...I don't want it to be over but it is". The London breakfast show goes nationwide with Jamie Theakston and newly appointed Amanda Holden on June 3rd 2019.
Baby Spice Emma Bunton may not have released much music but she was busy having babies, designing childrens clothing, nappy and products as well as hosting popular reality programmes in the UK and US. All whilst maintaining a steady radio presenting career on Heart FM. It’s an exciting start to this era for Baby – because she has a baby. Her first, Beau, born in 2007. 2009 – Emma starts her stint on Heart FM. She covers a couple of shifts and is rewarded with her on Saturday drive time slot. She pre-records because Baby has better places to be than a stuffy studio on a Saturday evening. 2010 – She joins the judging panel of Dancing On Ice. She did 2 series. It was a little controversial at the time. People wondered, with no ice skating background, what she could possibly provide as a judge. But she was praised for locking horns with chief judge Jason Gardiner and not being afraid to make unpopular comments. She said it helped her shed her Baby Spice tag…. Because she became Sassy Spice. Here are some of her best put downs: She sure has. On the third show she told GMTV's Dr Hilary Jones: "I literally couldn't breathe through the whole dance and when you lifted her I felt physically sick, I was so nervous for you both. "I just didn't enjoy it and I'm glad you were smiling because I wasn't." The next week she said of Emily Atack's performance: "I just thought it looked messy, unsteady. I felt like you were being dragged around. You are improving but very little." Then, in show seven, she told Sharron Davies: "It's a little bit like déjà vu for me, with a different outfit each week." 2011 – Baby Tate. To celebrate she launched her own baby range with reputable fashion retailer, Argos. Much bigger than the capsule Geri knocked out with Next….. this was a 99 piece collection. Her eldest Beau was modelling the collection – following in his Mamas footsteps, because one of her first jobs was a child model in the argos catalogue. I bet she was a proper cherubic little model. All blonde ringlets and chubby cheeks. 2011 – She really commits to Heart FM. Covers maternity leave for Harriet Scott on Breakfast, hosting alongside her old sparring partner – Jamie Theakston. Breakfast is a big shift. It’s a high profile position, a lot of responsibility and hardwork. Its all early mornings and beaming smiles. But Baby does a good job; she ends up taking over the spot permanently and doing it for 5 years. Until 2018. 2012 – She did the previously mentioned Mel C duet, I know him so well….. Which I think is just lovely of them to work together. The video is beautiful, if a little boring, of them just hugging. Interview quotes they described the song as “having the spirit of spice”. 2013 was a big year for Emma Bunton – not only did she win Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mother of the Year award she had a new tv show. “Your face sounds familiar” – it’s a bit Stars in their eyes. 6 celebrities portray famous singers, chosen at random, to win £10,000 for their chosen charity. They’re trained by Yvie Burnett – who is the second best vocal coach in the world. After Carrie from Fame Academy. Its all very Saturday night cringe – filing the spots between X Factor and Ant&Dec. 2014 - Jade Jones appears on “Big Reunion”. Baby named as ‘Lead Singer’ of the group. Link for the image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4opaSrTHI 2017 – She appeared on the judging panel of new American reality show, BoyBand, which sought to find the new big BoyBand. She appeared alongside Nick Carter, Timbaland. Hosted by Rita Ora. Best bit was towards the end they did a judges medley, with the contestants. Emma completes a flawless rendition of Say You’ll Be There. Of course she does. If only Rita were so lucky. She tries to join Timbaland for “Way I Are” and it is car crash. They create the band “In Real Life”….. who have released 6 singles since in the past 18 months. One charting. It’s a start. 2018 – She becomes the host of American version of Great British Bake Off. Guardian had a great tagline: Contesants will have to dust it, make it, proof it, bake it – show her how good they are We find her back recording, Studio Spice. More than a decade after her previous effort. Signed a deal with BMG records – who tend to focus on publishing rights and legacy artists. She is a songwriter with a legacy…. What a home. Does mean her time is short. She has to say goodbye to Heart Breakfast. 5 year stint, successfully so. Award winning stint. Including “Radio presenter of the year” and “digital radio programme” at the TRIC awards. But they do give her a Sunday night slot (bet that is a pre-record). She knows how to keep a foot in the door (must be easy to work with if they keep you on that long). Which makes room for her to finally get married! After 8 years of being engaged.
My guest this week is Emma Bunton - the Spice Girl, the presenter of Heart Breakfast and now the co-founder of Kit & Kin, a range of gorgeous eco-friendly nappies and baby skincare.In this minisode of the podcast, we chat about the highs and lows of motherhood, endometriosis (which both Emma and I suffer from) and teaching our kids about girl power. In fact one of the first things she said, when we started to chat was that she loved my Strong Girls Club pin - which is from Mutha.Hood (catch up on my episode featuring Gemma from Mutha.hood).Hope you enjoy this short and sweet episode - please rate and review on iTunes if you do!
