Over the next few episodes, we're revisiting conversations we've had with festive icons - and what better place to start than with the literal voice of Christmas: Slade frontman Noddy Holder!
Even though he's known for screaming "It's Christmas!" every year, there's so much more to Noddy's storied career as part of an era-defining band who have sold over 50 million records. Last year he spoke to us about his journey from singing in pubs to sold-out arena tours, life on the road and some unbelievable meetings with the likes of Diana Ross, Muhammad Ali and even John Lennon!

Our trips down to the Cellar over the next few weeks have a decidedly festive feel, and we've decided to start with the Welsh singer, presenter and actor whose recording of 'Walking in the Air' shot to the top of the Christmas charts in 1985: it's Aled Jones!
Aled talks us through his rise to fame as a child soprano and the bizarre, brilliant situations he found himself at such a young age. We also discuss sharing the karaoke with then Prince Charles (yep!) and some of the less glamorous aspects of a typical Jones' Ch. Tune in!

Joining us today is a British pop culture icon whose extraordinary career spans four decades, twenty Top 40 hits, and over 20 million record sales worldwide. As one of the biggest-selling female artists of the 80s and an award-winning horticulturist, she makes the transition between the worlds of music and gardening seem effortless: it’s the legendary Kim Wilde!
In this episode, Kim takes us through her incredible journey—from a shy girl raised in a musical household to a teen being catapulted to global fame with Kids in America, a song that changed everything for her and her family. Here, she reflects on the wild ride of her music career and reveals how stepping away from the spotlight and into gardening in her 30s gave her life a new sense of purpose.

Whether it’s on stage or in the garden, Kim’s story is a masterclass in reinvention, resilience, and staying true to yourself.
Kim’s brand new album, Closer, arrives on 31st January 2025—available to stream or download wherever you get your music.

Today, in honour of International Men’s Day and World Suicide Prevention Day, we’re revisiting some of our most powerful conversations with some remarkable men who’ve opened up so candidly about their mental health journeys. From breaking stigmas to finding strength in vulnerability, these stories are the epitome of resilience.
First, psychotherapist Owen O’Kane reflects on his deeply personal experiences growing up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles as a gay Irish Catholic man and how opening up to a therapist - an Irish Catholic nun, no less - helped him break free from what he calls the "holy trinity of shame." Next, SAS star Jason Fox shares his transformation from being sceptical of therapy to finding life-changing support through clinical psychology, thanks to the encouragement of a boss during one of his darkest periods. Finally, chart-topping singer Tom Grennan reveals how embracing fitness has been a game-changer for his mental health, giving him not just a new outlook but also a supportive gym community that feels like family.
We hope this episode inspires you to start your own conversations. If you’re struggling with your mental health, please call Samaritans for 24/7 emotional support on 116 123.

Joining us today is a man working in rarefied TV air - a presenter, chef, author and personality who captures the public’s attention like few else. It’s the legendary Gino D’Acampo!
Gino dials in for a chat about living life to its absolute fullest, from his years wowing diners and entertaining the public from behind stovetops across the world, to inadvertently stumbling in on orgies and changing his middle name to “Sheffield” as part of a chaotic stint on Celebrity Juice.
But it’s fair to say that Gino is a more layered, thoughtful man than the public’s perception of him might suggest. Because behind the outlandish court jester everyone has come to love is a savvy businessman, a nurturing father and a philosophical thinker who doesn’t care what show you’re offering or how big the paycheque is - if it encroaches on his principles (or his Sardinian holiday), he’s not interested.
Get yourself a copy of Gino's new air fryer cookbook right here!

Today, instead of taking our regular trip down to the cellar, Kate welcomes Lynn and Terry, two White Wine Question Time listeners who bravely share how our menopause series has transformed their relationship in such a difficult life stage.
In this candid chat, they reflect on the challenges menopause can bring to our closest relationships, and how, with a little support and allyship, they found a way through. But that’s not all – Kate also catches up with her (and Lynn’s!) personal trainer, Richie, to get expert advice on how exercise during menopause and perimenopause can reduce stress and boost your mood in a time you need it most.
You can find the rest of our menopause series here: The Menopause - and what’s next with Tamzin Outhwaite and Dr. Lydia Robertson, Bridging the age gap on Menopause Awareness and World Menopause Day with Lisa Snowdon & Dr. Naomi Potter.
If, like Lynn and Terry, our episodes have made a difference to your menopause journey, we’d love to hear your story - drop us a message on Instagram here!
