It's Kate's sister from another Mister - Sam Janus! Sam & Kate have been friends for YEARS and in this beautiful catch-up they talk about being a famous woman in the 90s, families, cancer and Sam's motorhome. Samantha Janus was at Sylvia Young's legendary school or acting and dance in a class that included Nicole and Nat Appleton, Keeley Hawes and Emma Bunton. Kate's been friends with this collection of incredible women since the 90s and there are more than a few stories in this episode about this friendship group. There's a LOT to get through.

A very special episode this week!A couple of weeks ago we took White Wine Question Time to the high seas - on board an Ambassador Cruise to Amsterdam. In front of an audience of 750 passengers we went back to our original format of three friends, wine and three thought provoking questions. As part of our 500th episode celebrations we were thrilled to invite Heidi Range, who appeared in our very first podcast, back for a chat as well as Jenny Powell (also one of our OG's making her first appearance in episode #4) and debutant Harriet Scott from Magic Breakfast. It was such a success we're already planning more floating podcasts for 2027, and a massive thank you to Ambassador Cruise Line for sponsoring this episode. Here's to the next 500! Cheers,xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Without Oz Clarke there might not be a White Wine Question Time. Is possible we'd have called this podcast Gin & Tonic Question Time (Coming soon to a podcast platform near you!) It's absolutely fair to say that Oz, alongside Jilly Goolden, changed the we we drink. But wine tasting was a skill and hobby he'd developed at Oxford University and he was well on his way to becoming a West End Star when opportunity knocked on the 80s TV show 'Food & Drink' thanks to the television brain of Peter Bazelgette (who later went on to turn Big Brother into an enormous hit). This is a fascinating story, told by one of the great story-tellers. If EVER there was an episode to listen to with a glass of white wine THIS IS IT! Oz's new book A Vine is a Wild Thing is out now! Cheers,xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're adding another national treasure to the White Wine Question Time collection - Sir Derek Jacobi.Ahead of his two-man show (he'll be sharing the stage with his husband of 48 years Richard Clifford) we caught up with the pair to talk about Derek's 60+ year career as an actor, their relationship, and the wonderful cast who've helped Derk on his incredible journey from the East End of London to some of the world's greatest stages. But there's one role he is still desperate to land... and it's quite the surprise! It's a fabulous chat - and if you'd like longer with Derek and Richard you can get tickets for their show hereCheers!xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
By any measure Jake Humphrey is a High Performer - whether it's his highly accomplished career as a TV presenter, the TV Production company (Whisper) he co-owns with a turnover of £100m+, or the collection of podcasts under the 'High Performance' umbrella. But his story is much more fascinating than most media moguls. Several times he's walked away from the top tier jobs most presenters dream of to spend more quality time with his family. It's only when you chat to Jake that you get a real understanding of the man behind those decisions, who loves to take risks, but seems to win every time.It's a really lovely chat - with an extra special surprise at the end.Cheers!xx Hosted on Acast.

How can you NOT be inspired by Billy Monger. In his new book Billy is encouraging young people to find their drive, to challenge themselves and maximise their potential. All from a young man who became a double-amputee just before his 18th birthday, but thanks to his own incredible drive, as well as the love and support of those around was quickly back in a single-seater (he actually got his race licence back just ELEVEN weeks after the accident). His honesty about his accident and his incredible passion for life and adventure are infectious - you absolutely cannot listen to this interview and not feel a new lease of life. Let us know what think - follow us on social media @WhiteWine_QuestionTime or email us hello@whitewinepod.comCheers! xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
What a joy it is to have Reverend Richard Coles back on the podcast. His new book (a novella!) A Carol and a Killing is out nowIn this chat we talk about his extraordinarily high testosterone count, swearing at bus drivers and getting a dog. None of these were on our list of questions at the start of the conversation. Is that always the best way! Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
We're back! And back with a bang. My Sister's KeeperSmall Great ThingsThe PactNineteen MinutesThese are just some of the massive best-sellers written by my guest in this episode, Jodi Piccoult. If you haven't read her books - just consider this; In 2017 Jodi was named in the Top 10 Harvard alumni shaping the world. Some of the other names on the list... Jeff Bezos, Michelle Obama, Eric Schmidt (Then Google's CEO) and Robert Mueller (Director of the FBI). Her books fly off the shelves around the globe - she's sold over 60million copies of her novels. You can order her latest book Hollow Bones hereAnd she's one of my favourite authors. I hope you enjoy this conversation - it's GREAT to be back.Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast.
