    This week, I am joined in the garden by the wonderful JB Gill! 🚜From boyband sensation JLS to The One Show sofa, there's plenty of reasons to know JB, and these days he’s just as at home in a pair of wellies as he is on stage! It was such a pleasure to have him pop by for a spot of Pottering. 🌱We chat about boybands and barnyards, the beauty of bees, and teaching the next generation all about the countryside on CBeebies. We also hear about his appearance on ITV’s The Box which is all rather exciting!So, without wanting to Beat Again around the bush, pull on your wellies, pop the kettle on and join us for some Pottering. 🪴 🎧 Watch on YouTube and Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.

    This week, I've had the pleasure of being joined by the wonderfully talented Gaby French in the garden! 🌿✨ Actor extraordinaire and self-proclaimed Toby Carvery Ambassador, Gaby has appeared everywhere from Enola Holmes and, Alfie's favourite, Military Wives to the award-winning Broadway production of Hangmen. It was a real treat to have a good old catch up! We discuss life on stage and screen, the Carvery tales and nights out in Cardiff. We also hear all about Gaby's pandemic project in her parents' garden and so much more! A true delight, I do hope you enjoy! So, settle into your favourite garden chair, rest those vocal cords and let the Pottering commence! 🪴 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

    This week I was joined among the sunflowers by the fabulous Nina Conti! 🌻 Ventriloquist, writer and director, it was so lovely to catch up and reminisce over our first meeting in Edinburgh many moons ago. Nina is back up at the Fringe next week with the delightfully named Nina's C*nti Cabaret, and do also catch her brand new film Sunlight, available now on Prime Video. 🐒 We chat the snobbery of theatre, monkey business in New Mexico and the shininess of the 80s ladybird. We also briefly discuss growing drugs in our back garden, which is neither medically nor horticulturally accurate. 🐞🌱So yes, take off that monkey suit, pour yourself a refreshing drink and settle in for another dose of Pottering. 🪴 🎧 Watch on YouTube and Spotify, or listen wherever you get your podcasts.
