This week, Emily and Ray are taking a stroll with our very good pal - the brilliant and hilarious comedian Pierre Novellie.
Pierre’s had previous on this podcast - but we thought we were well due a catch up, because a lot has happened in his life since we last spoke on the podcast…
As well as being one of the funniest people we know - Pierre is also one of the most intelligent people we know - and taking a walk with him is an endlessly fascinating thing to do. We discussed what his childhood was like and the challenges he faced socially - and how he reflects on that now he has an autism diagnosis. We also chatted about our reactions to unwanted noises, Pierre’s fascination with the military and why he is driven by curiosity and likes to surround himself with people who are the same.

This week on Walking The Dog, Emily and Raymond are taking an early morning stroll London’s Clissold Park with the actor, comedian and writer Harry Trevaldwyn!
Harry’s career started when he started posting sketches on social media - including our favourite character ’Smug Mum’ and he has now entered his Hollywood era - staring in The Bubble, Ten Percent and most recently How To Train Your Dragon and My Oxford Year.
It was an absolute delight spending the morning with Harry - we discussed everything from his idyllic childhood surrounded by cousins in Oxfordshire, his childhood dog who miraculously survived crossing the A420 (twice!) and how he found his passion for performing.

While Raymond was enjoying the luxury of being in an air conditioned room on one of the hottest days of the year, we spoke to Adam about why he felt like it wasn’t a brave decision to walk away from his degree, how his wife feels about the fact that Adam has published some of their arguments in his book and we also read some golden showbiz advice…

This week, Emily and Raymond are joined by podcast royalty - our wonderful pal writer, comedian and podcaster Adam Buxton!
We met on a scorching hot day in June, so we made the decision to record inside at the lovely air-conditioned Acast Studios - and they treated our boy like the prince he is!
Adam tells us about growing up with an anti-dog dad, how he got pressured into getting his poodle-whippet cross Rosie, and how he broke his resolution to have nothing to do with her when she arrived…
We also discuss why he is resisting video podcasts, his much-dissected Tom Hanks interview and why he feels embarrassed about where he went to school.

We’re back in Finsbury Park with the hilarious and brilliant comedian, actor and writer Tom Rosenthal!
Tom played Johnny Goodman in one of our favourite shows of all time - Friday Night Dinner. We found out what it meant to be part of such a well-loved show, how much he’s like Johnny in real life, and how it felt to be a conduit for public grief after the death of his co-star Paul Ritter.
We found out all about Tom’s new show - Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I Am. Tom told us all about his love for Arctic Monkeys’ early discography - and how he’s loosely seen *some* parallels with his own life… you can see the show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe from 30th July – 24th August (18:15) at Assembly Roxy, Upstairs and then touring across the UK and Ireland – tickets on sale now at www.tomrosenthal.net

Joining us today on Walking The Dog is the fabulous actor, comedian and writer Tom Rosenthal.
Tom shot to fame for playing Johnny Goodman in Friday Night Dinner and Marcus Gallo in Plebs - and he is also a critically acclaimed stand up comedian!
Tom has a gorgeous Romanian rescue dog called Kiki, who he absolutely adores. She was at home in Bristol with Tom’s girlfriend Gigi and his daughter Simi when we met - but Tom’s affection and connection with her is clear, and we’re already planning a trip to go and see her in person. We met on a blisteringly hot day in June - so we decided to have Raymond sit this one out because his fur and hot weather don’t go well together!
Tom told us all about how Kiki helped him through a very tough time and how she’s opened him up emotionally. We find out what impact having a famous dad had on his childhood - and also the most outrageous prank that he ever played…

Kate tells us all about the experience of being on Gogglebox - the unexpected costs involved in being a part of the show and why she eventually made the decision to leave.
While we walked through the beautiful graveyard in Retford, Kate told us about how she feels about funerals - and what the emotional parts of being a reverend have taught her about life.
And of course - we had to ask Kate if she thinks dogs get to heaven….

We’ve taken Raymond on a trip to Nottinghamshire to the beautiful town of Retford to meet the fabulous Reverend Kate Bottley! Kate is a Church of England vicar - as well as being a journalist, broadcast and TV star.
The Bottleys are big dog lovers - they’ve had a succession of rescue greyhounds, but they’ve recently adopted a wonderful puppy called Tony (who has a very fitting namesake…) Kate tells us all about the unexpected joy of adopting a ‘dog dog’ and how he’s been settling into his new life.
Kate told us all about how she grew up in a non-religious family - and then how a teenage crush led to her discovering religion… She also tells us about being a show off, why she loves graveyards and why she’ll always pick up a ‘karma poo’.

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.

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!
