Chats (for you)

58 episodes - English - Latest episode: over 6 years ago - ★★★★★ - 1 rating

In this podcast, James Walker talks to people for you, the public. These ‘people’ will be ‘people’ he is a fan of anyway, so you are really very welcome, people. Each episode is usually a combination of questions, and follow-up questions (just to keep it fresh). It’s fairly silly, and much more about having a chat with some daft questions for a while, rather than working out why acts do what they do, or how they do it.

(Basically, James tries to talk to people he likes, and they sometimes let him.)

Guests (so far) have included the likes of Al Murray, B.J. Novak, Eddie Pepitone, Josie Long, Adam Buxton, Robin Ince, Mark Watson, Alex Horne, Tom Stade, Claudia O'Doherty, James Acaster, Sammy J and a load more.
