Podcast appearances and mentions of Katy Brand

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. Apologies in advance though - the sound is a little rougher than the producer likes to let past, but the chat is so good, I thought it was worth it. We talk about so many things - from saving yourself for Jesus, to long lasting devotion to Dirty Dancing, with far, far too many uses of the phrase "god shaped hole". I apologise in advance for that. We have one more brand new episode of the show in 2 weeks time before we take a short hiatus over the summer. I hope you enjoy it! Both the show, and the summer. See you in two weeks!

Robin Ince and Brian Cox tackle the thorny debate over whether science and religion can co-exist. But forget the tension between the church and the researchers – Eric Idle wants an answer to the important question of whether God is in gluten free communion bread? Katy Brand launches the inaugural theologian's corner with a pair of Reverends, who explain that comedians and the clergy have a lot in common, including a tendency to like the sound of their own voices. As we learn more about how our universe works, will there even be a need for religious belief? Since some research suggests fundamentalists and zealots tend to be less intelligent, perhaps there's a case to be made for some healthy scepticism.New episodes will be released on Wednesdays. If you're in the UK, listen to the full series on BBC Sounds: bbc.in/3K3JzyFProducer: Marijke Peters Executive Producer: Alexandra FeachemEpisodes featured: Series 1: Science and Religion Series 4: Is There Room for Mysticism in a Rational World?

Brian Cox and Robin Ince visit CERN's Large Hadron Collider in Geneva in search of the Higgs boson. Joining them on their particular quest is comedian Katy Brand, actor Ben Miller and physicists Tevong You and Clara Nellist. They find out which particle is the one you'd most want to spend time with at a party, how cosmology is inspiring experiments in the collider and why the Higgs Boson - known as the 'god' particle' - is of so much interest to science.Producer: Melanie Brown Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem

Robin Ince and Brian Cox are still struggling to decide when a strawberry dies as they trawl through the archive to ponder where we should draw the line between life and death. Katy Brand kicks the debate off with her thoughts on whether strawberries have souls, which leads her to wonder whether it might be possible for people to be resurrected? While it's theoretically possible to bring someone back to life, it's not looking likely any time soon. Instead, Rufus Hound talks us through how he'd commit the perfect murder, right down to the use of a woodchipper to destroy any DNA evidence. Little does he realise that this fingerprint of life gets everywhere, including down comedian Susan Calman's pants. Episodes featured: Series 7: Improbable Science Series 8: What is Death? Series 12: Forensic Science Series 26: How To Commit The Perfect Murder New episodes will be released on Wednesdays, but if you're in the UK, listen to new episodes, a week early, first on BBC Sounds: bbc.in/3K3JzyF Producer: Marijke Peters Executive Producer: Alexandra Feachem

Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson write and star in a new comedy about the world of influencing, where they play Ruth and Carla – two wannabe stars of the online business world. They are bound together by a carefully controlled image that can lead to lucrative product placements and well-paid endorsements - but only if the PR is played just right. And that's a problem because, behind the scenes, things are not always as harmonious as they seem. Episode 4: Biscuits Ruth and Carla discover a new blog called Daughters of Influencers, written by two teenage girls detailing their grievances with their toxic influencer mothers. It can't possibly be about them... Carla – Katy Brand Ruth – Katherine Parkinson Written by Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson Producer: Liz Anstee A CPL production for BBC Radio 4

Ötvenes megözvegyült hittan tanárnő fiatal, szakértő szeretőt keres. Ám akit talál, szintén kérdésekkel küzd... Minden jót, Leo Grande! Emma Thompson bátor játéka azért bennünk is felvet erős kérdéseket. Igazából szerelem? - avagy a szerelmesfilmek és az életünk podcast-sorozat, Tari Annamária pszichorterapeuta és Horváth Gergely (Gondolatkertészet) beszélgetései. Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, 2022 Fsz.: Emma Thompson, Daryl McCormack Rendező: Sophie Hyde Író: Katy Brand

There's nothing like a little light-hearted solicitation to relive your lost youth and discover how amazing sex could be since your, now deceased, boring husband "missionary Martin" never gave it propa'. So, in walks gigolo Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack) to guide Nancy (Emma Thompson) in her search for the ever-elusive big "O". Just chuck some fit bloke some cash and it'll solve all your problems basically. Some procrastination here, some procrastination there, and that's what Emma Thompson as Nancy does in the sex comedy drama ("sexadramady"?) penned by Katy Brand and directed by Sophie Hyde. It's a weird one. At the heart of the film is a sex-positive message that has some genuinely touching moments from the inimitable Ms. Thompson. But when you come down to it, it misses the mark in giving Mr. McCormack enough meat to play with. You'll get what we mean when you give it a listen. GOOD LUCK TO YOU, LEO GRANDE is currently streaming on HULU in the US.

Welcome back! In the first episode of Season Five of Grape Culture, Sam and Kim get passionate about Katy Brand's hit film, Good Luck To You, Leo Grande. Listen now to find out more!

Have you ever felt like you can't do certain things? What do you do to tackle your own self-doubt?  In this 3rd episode, Viv turns traditional thinking about imposter syndrome on its head, and considers alternative outlooks from her guests. Professor Mary Beard talks about the misogynistic origins of public speaking, dating back to the Roman Empire, and actress Katy Brand says that in her experience, confidence can ebb and flow.  If you find yourself feeling like an imposter,  Paula Hines says that might be because you're working in an area that you're not truly passionate about -  she knows this feeling first hand as she tells the story of moving from a career as a television producer to becoming a yoga teacher. Writer Kit de Waal shares the key to pushing back against moments of insecurity when you feel like a fraud, and sports presenter Gabby Logan says that it's important to be able to learn from your mistakes. Viv's new book, Happy High Status: How to Be Effortlessly Confident, is available for preorder. @vivgroskop

Sophie Hyde je austrálska režisérka, producentka, scenáristka a zakladajúca členka Closer Productions. Jej najnovší film Good Luck to You Leo Grande, ktorého scenár napísala Katy Brand, s Emmou Thompson a Darylom McCormackom v hlavných úlohách, rozpráva príbeh mladého (a mimochodom veľmi dobre vyzerajúceho) sexuálneho pracovníka Lea Grandeho a ovdovenej učiteľky na dôchodku, upätej päťdesiatničky Nancy Stokes.   Film som videla trikrát a zakaždým som s hlbokým úžasom sledovala premenu oboch postáv, ich zraniteľnosť a krehké, no krásne ľudské spojenie, ktoré dokázal sprostredkovať. Osobne by som povedala, že je to film o láskavosti, neodsudzovaní a o sile prijatia, ktorú by sme si mali - hlavne my ženy - ponúknuť, aby sme dokázali žiť život bez sebakontroly a neustáleho trápenia sa v snahe naplniť očakávania druhých.  POZNÁMKA: Tento diel je v anglickom jazyku.

In today's episode we're discussing Good Luck To You, Leo Grande, now streaming on Hulu. Directed by Sophie Hyde and written by Katy Brand, the story follows an older woman, Nancy (Emma Thompson), who hires a young male sex worker, Leo Grande (Daryl McCormack), with the hope of finally exploring all the desires she was never allowed to act on with her late husband -- her one and only sexual partner.  ** After we discuss how Kate worries that she could become Nancy and Carinn declares she is Leo, we deep dive into our favorite scenes. These scenes evoke the idea of women taking what they want, mommy issues, letting go, acceptance of one's body and the power of releasing self-judgment. There is also a lot of discussion of all the surprising times we each cried while watching! (11:57) *What She Said, Sophie Hyde and Katy Brand. We share our favorite first person quotes of the talented director and writer of this sex-positive and positively sexy movie! (64:33) ** Who Won and Takeaways. We discuss the power of Daryl McCormack's eyes (aka Leo Grande) and the power of pleasure, intimacy and vulnerability. (71:58)

"Good Luck To You, Leo Grande" premiered earlier this year at the Sundance Film Festival and was later picked up by Searchlight Pictures, who released it this weekend on Hulu. The film stars Emma Thompson in one of her best roles to date as Nancy, a middle-aged retired woman looking for good sex at this point in her life, and Daryl McCormack in a breakout turn as her hired young sex-worker, Leo Grande. Both of them deliver terrific performances and are aided by the thoughtful writing from screenwriter Katy Brand. The sex-positive story carefully outlines both characters with a high level of detail, providing an insightful analysis of sex and the relationship the two share with one another. Katy was kind enough to talk with us about her screenplay, the characters, the hotel setting they share, and more.

Katy Brand talks to Michael Berkeley about obsession, opera, brass bands and juggling her career as a comedian, actor, novelist and screenwriter. On television, Katy Brand's Big Ass Comedy Show ran for three series and won her a British Comedy Award, and she has appeared in everything from Peep Show to Midsomer Murders. Her stand-up shows at the Edinburgh Festival have been highly acclaimed, and she is a regular on BBC Radio comedy and drama. Katy has starred in musicals such as West Side Story and Everyone's Talking About Jamie; and she has written plays and screenplays – her feature film Good Luck to You, Leo Grande, starring Emma Thompson, premiered at the recent Sundance Festival and will be on our cinema screens this autumn. Katy tells Michael about her childhood experience as an extra at the Royal Opera House; her grandfather, the trumpet player and brass band conductor Geoffrey Brand; and her passion for the madrigals of the 17th-century Italian composer Carlo Gesualdo. And she describes the obsessions that dominated her early life, which have provided rich material for her books and comedy shows: her conversion to born-again Christianity as a teenager and her ongoing passion for the films Dirty Dancing and Mary Poppins. Producer: Jane Greenwood A Loftus Media production for BBC Radio 3

Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson write and star in a new comedy about the online world of influencing, where they play Ruth and Carla – two stars of the online business world. They are bound together by a carefully controlled public image involving lucrative product placement and well paid endorsements. But behind the scenes things are not always so harmonious. We find Ruth and Carla worrying about company finances and plotting their next big move into podcasting to give their shared business a boost. They are taking delivery of all their new equipment when they hear that a rival influencer, Grace Broadstairs, has been rushed to hospital. As she is incapacitated, all her followers are now up for grabs. Wishing Grace well is also a perfect theme for the first podcast episode, A Lovely Chat with Ruth and Carla – if they can just figure out how the microphones work. Award-winning duo Katy Brand and Katherine Parkinson write and star in this sharp new comedy, taking an affectionate swipe at the very modern world of influencing. The podcast A Lovely Chat with Ruth and Carla, as featured in the show, is available as an exclusive bonus in this podcast.

Katie Price and her family have lived their lives in the public eye for more than 15 years - and now in a new BBC One documentary, she's having to make tough decisions about her son Harvey's future. Born with Septic Optic Dysplasia, a rare disorder that affects brain function, hormones and vision, Harvey is moving onto the next stage of his development as he turns 18. Katie joins Emma to discuss. Senior judges in the Family Courts were heavily criticised last year for outdated views on allegations of marital rape in family court proceedings. This week the Court of Appeal is holding a legal review into the Family Courts’ approach to domestic abuse and sexual violence for the first time is 20 years. Barrister, Dr Charlotte Proudman explains why this review is both important and necessary, and why it may prompt cases being overturned. It's been reported that the former First Lady Melania Trump did not write her own thank you letters to her White House staff. The goodbye letters were allegedly written by an aide. Around 80 White House staffers received a typed note from the outgoing First Lady, and were under the impression she wrote them herself. But two sources familiar with the letters claimed Mrs Trump outsourced the work to a lower-level East Wing staffer. Comedian and writer, Katy Brand reveals where she stands on thank you letters.
