The rain has eased off - and we’re in Regent’s Park with the fabulous Naga Munchetty!
Naga us about show she experienced excruciating periods from the age of 15 - and how that led her to writing her new book It’s Probably Nothing - where she draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed to explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.
We also find out how Naga deals with criticism, behaviour she won’t stand for on the train - and the *very* usual thing she does between courses at dinner…

Join Emily and Raymond on a rainy day in London’s Regent’s Park - with the legendary BBC Breakfast and BBC 5 Live broadcaster Naga Munchetty.
Naga revealed to us that, although she is the proud owner of two cats, she is in fact a dog person… although, Raymond’s not quite her size…
We found out all about Naga’s childhood in South London as the daughter of two nurses. She tells us how it felt to straddle two cultures as a child, why she won’t apologise for her intelligence and the importance of BBC Breakfast.
In Naga’s new book It’s Probably Nothing she draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed to explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.

Glenn is well known for his appearances on TV shows such as Live At The Apollo, Have I Got News For You, 8 out of 10 Cats Does Countdown - as well as being heard daily as one quarter of The Dave Berry Breakfast Show on Absolute Radio.

This week, Emily and Ray are taking a glorious morning stroll on Hampstead Heath with the actor, writer and comedian Tom Basden!
Tom grew up with a succession of Miniature Schnauzers - but he doesn’t currently have a dog… although his children are currently trying to convince him to get a Labrador… could a walk with Raymond be what brings him back to the dog side?
We found out how Tom went from what he describes as a “really normal” childhood to writing and starring in some of the nations favourite TV comedies, including Plebs and Afterlife. We also discuss Tom’s perspective of Tim Key’s ‘great lie’, how he feels about casting himself in shows he has written and his experience of working with Ricky Gervais.
Tom’s new film The Ballad Of Wallis Island follows the story of how old tensions resurface when former bandmates who were former lovers reunite for a private show at the island home of an eccentric millionaire. You can catch it in cinemas the UK from 30th May!

Today, we’re walking in glorious Regent’s Park with the wonderful comedian Stuart Goldsmith.
As well as having an incredibly successful and critically-acclaimed career as a stand-up, Stuart is pretty much the OG of podcasting - he started his podcast The Comedian’s Comedian in 2012. Today - we’re turning the interview tables on him!
Stuart and his family are based in Bristol - and he doesn’t have a dog, and is - in fact - allergic to dogs! However, we’re pretty convinced that once Stuart’s kids take a look at Raymond they’re going to have to convince him to get one.
Stuart tells us about his rather fabulous career progression - from court jester to street performer to stand-up - Stuart really knows everything about comedy. In this chat, he shares some of what he’s learned from interviewing over 500 comedians on his podcast.

Join us on a gorgeous spring day in Holland Park with the legendary broadcaster and Loose Women panellist Kaye Adams!
Kaye’s dog Bea is at home in Glasgow - but we find out how much everyone in the Adams household absolutely adores her… sometimes to a somewhat inappropriate extent.

Kaye also tells us about the start of her extraordinary broadcasting career - which saw her interview then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at Number 10 when she was just 24 years old - and what it was like to be one of the first reporters on the scene at Lockerbie.
