We’ve taken a trip to West Yorkshire this week to meet broadcaster and former Shadow Chancellor Ed Balls for a stroll around the beautiful Pontefract Racecourse.
Ed doesn't have a dog at the moment - but he's very much a dog person. He tells us how he was replaced by a dog when he went to university, and a dog has helped his family cope with his mother’s dementia.
We also find out about Ed’s experience at Harvard (once he had worked out where it was located on a map) and whether he cried when he lost his seat in the 2015 General Election.
Political Currency is availble on all podcast platforms!

Thank you to Handpicked Hotels for hosting us at their dog friendly hotel Wood Hall during our trip to Yorkshire. Raymond was throughly spoiled and he loved his mini break!

Joining us on our dog walk this week is legendary broadcaster Gabby Logan!
We met Gabby at home in Buckinghamshire and we then took a lovely walk around the woods with her three dogs Milo, Maggie and Maverick. Maverick is a new addition to the Logan household since Gabby was last on the podcast - he’s an absolutely delightful standard poodle, who is VERY enthusiastic about catching tennis balls.
Gabby tells us about growing up in a family whose love language was sport and how being the daughter of a professional footballer in the 1980s wasn’t as glamorous as it might be today.
We also chat about how Gabby has dealt with tragedies in her life and how she stays calm when life is chaotic. She also tells us a rather brilliant story about an incident with George Clooney and a moth-eaten coat…

Join Raymond, Emily, Janette and Lyra for the second part of our walk around London’s Burgess Park!
Janette tells us about some of the challenges of Strictly Come Dancing and how devastated she felt about being voted out on her first series. She also reveals what happened when she got the call to present It Takes Two…
We also chat about Janette’s brilliant new book Tiny Dancer, Big World. Janette tells us about how Covid gave her a passion for wellbeing - and how writing the book with her sister helped her to share some of the lessons she has learned in life with the world.

Today we’re in South London’s Burgess Park with television presenter, choreographer and professional dancer Janette Manrara - and we have a very special bonus guest - her daughter Lyra!
Janette is best known for appearing as a professional dance on Strictly Come Dancing - and since 2021 she has co-hosted Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two! Janette is married to her Strictly co-star Aljaž Škorjanec and their daughter Lyra was born in July 2023 - we think she was pretty taken by Raymond (and the geese!)
Janette has a history with dogs back at home in Miami - but life as a performing family means that she doesn’t have a dog at the moment… but there may be one in the future!
After her family immigrated from Cuba to Miami, Janette tells us about being a happy child in a happy household and how that gave her a positive outlook on life. She tells the story of how she went from working in a bank to becoming a professional dancer - and what happened when she met Aljaž for the first time… was it love at first sight?!
Tiny Dancer, Big World: How to Find Fulfilment from the Inside Out is out on Thursday 12th September - you can buy your copy here

This week Emily and Ray met the brilliant comedian Phil Wang for a stroll round Peckham Rye Park!
Phil is a former dog-hater, but he and Raymond got on very well. Phil even offered to carry Ray and gave him a whole new perspective on the world.
After being born in the same hospital as Robbie Williams - Phil spent what he describes as a ‘nice but boring’ childhood growing up in Malaysia, before moving back to the UK for school and university. Phil tells us about how he embraces otherness and being an escapist - and he reveals why he is very cautious about long grass.

Poppy tells us about how losing her job as a chef in the pandemic led her to becoming a social media sensation with over 5 million total followers.

This week on Walking The Dog, we’re joined by the fabulous journalist, television presenter and author Louise Minchin!
Louise joins us from home in Cheshire with her two gorgeous labradors Waffle and Ruby and she tells us all about growing up Hong Kong, and the family legend surrounding her birth.
We also chat about Louise's positive attitude, a life changing trip to Argentina, and what happened when she realised she was going to get a D in A-Level economics…
Louise's new book Isolation Island is a tense, addictive thriller set within the world of hidden cameras and celebrity egos. On a remote island off the coast of Scotland, ten celebrities have arrived in the depths of winter to take part in the most gruelling – and lucrative – reality survival show ever devised. With a production team that seems incapable of keeping them safe, a gathering storm and the unrelenting gaze of hidden cameras, the contestants are pushed to the edge as they try and outshine their fellow competitors and hide their darkest secrets. But when a contestant winds up dead, it soon becomes clear that they’re not just fighting for the prize, but for their lives…

On a gloriously sunny day in East London - join Emily and Raymond for a stroll with the brilliant Ed Gamble.
Ed is loved for his stand-up, as well as being a bit of a podcast king - he hosts Off Menu with fellow comic James Acaster, as well as The Taskmaster Podcast and The Traitors Uncloaked! He also is a judge on The Great British Menu. Is there anything this man can’t do?
Ed and his wife Charlie have a cat - but he really got on well with Ray and even found us a (slightly unconventional) shady spot to escape the heat.
We chat about Ed's changing relationship with food and how that has affected his life, we find out about the celebrity diabetes community and whether Ed has a ‘Dad At The Airport’ personality.

Joining Emily and Raymond this week is the brilliant historian, author and presenter Professor Kate Williams - who took us for a very royal walk in London’s St James’s Park.
Kate has two cats at home - but she was VERY taken by Raymond. She actually asked if she could take him home - as well as comparing him to Anne Boleyn (which we’re taking as a compliment!)
Our chat with Kate covers everything from red hair, to her childhood time machine and how she went from the shy girl at school to one of the country's most loved historians.

It's a very special one this week - we’re out for a North London stroll with an iconic podcasting duo... the wonderful Jonathan Ross and his equally wonderful and talented screenwriter daughter, Honey Ross!
The Ross Family have a long history with dogs - and today we took a walk with Spooky and Pumpkin - who are both adorable Brussels Griffons. Together with Ray, they make quite the trio!
This walk will hopefully give you an idea of why we love this incredible family so much - we discuss what it was like to live in a in a household with nine dogs, the experience of growing up under the white heat of fame and we also meet a very important character from Honey’s childhood called Evil Baby…

Joining Emily and Raymond on Walking The Dog this week is award-winning radio presenter and bestselling author James O’Brien - with his gorgeous cavapoo Polly!
James had an unfortunate incident with a Bassett Hound when he was younger - and he spent many of the following years as a strong objector to all things dog-mucus-related. However, since Polly has come into his life, he’s come round to the dog side.
We discuss talking openly about adoption, the impact of his private education and his subsequent teenage rebellions. James also tells us about his extraordinary entry into journalism - which involved John Major and a suit.... and also a very memorable encounter with Sean Connery!
