  • Joanne Froggatt on her great chat with Mobland co-star Tom Hardy & why we need to stop dissecting women’s faces 16.09.2026 33min
    From Downton Abbey to a leading lady of Mobland season two, Joanne Froggatt sits down with Josh for a proper catch-up five years in the making. Joanne tells Josh how she feels about the rumours about Tom Hardy’s on-set behaviour that have been following the cast of Mobland around, and the chat she had with him that put her completely at ease when she needed it most.  Josh reminds Joanne of the chat they had five years ago about the double standards women face - and how the conversation has moved on (or hasn’t!) - from the industry's obsession with how women age, to the guilt and logistics that come with being a working mum.  Plus she shares a beautiful memory of working alongside the late Dame Maggie Smith, and opens up about her new HBO series on the trial of Louise Woodward which will get us all chatting!  Joanne also joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the wildest thing she's had to learn for a role, and whether she could take Pierce Brosnan, Helen Mirren or Tom Hardy in an argument… 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow the show on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – [email protected] ──────────────────────── Josh Smith's Great Chat Show The chats that matter Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is the podcast that reveals the chats that made our guests who they are today.

    Miku Martineau is living out our dream life leading Netflix's new love triangle drama ‘Crew Girl’ and it’s the show we are all going to be chatting about!  In this chat with Josh, Miku opens up about growing up as a Japanese Canadian in a predominantly white neighbourhood, feeling like an outlier at school, and how the things that once made her stand out are now the things she wears as a badge of honour.  Josh and Miku also chat about why we need to stop dissecting women's bodies, after she was told she was too ‘twiggy’ growing up.  Miku also tells the story of the incredible moment at the ‘Star Trek’ wrap party when she got to tell Michelle Yeoh, in person, that she had booked her first ever lead role in Netflix series ‘Bet’. Plus she gets candid about ending a long term relationship and why walking away is a win rather than a failure.  Plus Miku joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the truth about her childhood pet eels, and whether she is Team Cam or Team Josh… 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow the show on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – [email protected] ──────────────────────── Josh Smith's Great Chat Show The chats that matter Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is the podcast that reveals the chats that made our guests who they are today.

  • Chaka Khan on How Etta James Saved Her Life, Prince & Almost Becoming A Nun 02.09.2026 40min
    Eleven Grammys. Six decades. And a life that has taken in the Black Panther Party, a brief consideration of the convent, and a farm in rural Georgia with her own well water. Chaka Khan has GREAT CHAT!  Chaka takes us back to the beginnings of her iconic journey, opening up about running away from home at 16, singing in Chicago clubs for twenty dollars a night and her time with the Black Panther Party. She reflects on why awards have never been the point for her, why she believes there is no competition in self-expression, and says plainly that if she had not had singing as an outlet, she would not be here today. She talks candidly about her friendship with Prince and the conversations she still has with his painting on her wall. She also shares the piece of life-saving advice Etta James pulled her aside to give her the very first time they met, what she learned about Billie Holiday from her grandmother's record collection, and why sleep is the secret to her still looking great in her 70’s. Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the ideal height for a man, the most extravagant thing she has ever bought herself, and the extraordinary story of how a psychic in Canada told her to buy her farm before she had even stepped inside the house. Chaka Khan's new album 'Chakzilla' is out on18th September. You can pre-save on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0dQyfJN05ICpQfK9dvKRRF?si=f75205cdd100494a 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow the show on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – [email protected] ──────────────────────── Josh Smith's Great Chat Show The chats that matter Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is the podcast that reveals the chats that made our guests who they are today.

    He is the man behind one of the most talked about lines on TV this year. But there is a lot more to Tom Glynn-Carney than playing Aegon Targaryen in ‘House of The Dragon’.  In this chat with Josh, Tom breaks down THAT season three finale moment and shares so many stories from filming the show. He also reflects on being cast in ‘Dunkirk’ with no film experience whatsoever and the note Christopher Nolan gave him that he has carried onto every single job since.

Make sure you stick around for the best piece of advice from his therapist that we all need to take note of!  He also gets honest about the darker side of the fandom and the online bullying that spilled into his last relationship. Plus Tom joins the group chat to answer your questions, and reveals the great chat that has mattered most to him.

  • Six Months of Great Chat: Jason Isaacs, Jennifer Garner, Theo James, Katie Price and More 12.08.2026 38min
    Six months in and the great chats are still coming. To mark the milestone, Josh is revisiting some of the episodes that have meant the most to him and got the most of you talking. In this special, we kick things off with Jason Isaacs, who came in saying he doesn't usually go in depth on things and then absolutely went in depth on things. Then there is Charithra Chandran, whose honesty about race, representation and the industry sparked more comments on social media than almost any other episode. Jennifer Garner tells the story of running screaming down Broadway the night she first saw herself on a cinema screen alongside Maggie Smith and Albert Finney, and why thirty years later she still cannot quite believe she is here. Theo James gets refreshingly honest about toxic masculinity and what it means to be a man right now. And Katie Price opens up about body dysmorphia, the one mirror in her house, and why she says this is finally, genuinely, the happiest she has ever been. 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow the show on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – [email protected] ──────────────────────── Josh Smith's Great Chat Show The chats that matter Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is the podcast that reveals the chats that made our guests who they are today.

    From his breakout role as the unforgettable Marc St. James in Ugly Betty, to starring alongside Harrison Ford in Shrinking, Michael Urie has spent the last two decades building an acclaimed career across TV, film and Broadway.

  • Elle star Lexi Minetree on voicenotes from Reese Witherspoon, working with James Van Der Beek & being told she wasn’t good enough 15.07.2026 32min
    She was a total nerd growing up, reading books about warrior cats and playing her DS. Now she's playing one of the most iconic characters in pop culture history. Lexi Minetree was handpicked by Reese Witherspoon from over 3,000 auditions to play Elle Woods in the new Legally Blonde series, and she has not looked back. In this chat with Josh, Lexi opens up about the acting teacher who told her she wasn't the actor he thought she was, and how it almost broke her. She talks about the voice memos Reese sent her when she was doubting herself, and why she deliberately does things that terrify her. She also tells Josh what it meant to work alongside James Van Der Beek in his final ever on-screen role, and why some of the throwbacks to 2001’s Legally Blonde - like using a payphone - stopped her in her tracks.  Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions, including how long it took to get ready as Elle every day and why her most dreaded small talk topic right now is her own show.

  • Adam Lambert on the advice he got from Lady Gaga, toxic masculinity in the gay community, and the reality behind being the first openly gay artist to get a number one album 24.06.2026 48min
    From American Idol runner-up to the first openly gay man to have a number one album in the US, Adam Lambert has spent the last 17 years doing things entirely on his own terms. And with his sixth studio album ADAM out now, he's never been more honest. In this Pride month special, Adam talks candidly about toxic masculinity within the queer community, why visibility has become a double-edged sword and what he thinks Pride really means in 2026. Adam also tells Josh about the piece of advice Lady Gaga gave him backstage at the Oscars; how he reacted when he was told to tone himself down for a Biblical musical; and why the new album, written in the rawest moments post a five year breakup, is the most unfiltered thing he has ever made. He’s also now changing his approach to relationships too!  Plus, Adam joins the group chat to answer your questions.

    From Queer as Folk to Doctor Who, It's a Sin and now Tiptoe, Russell T Davies has spent 30 years starting conversations that nobody else dares to. And he's not finished yet. In this chat with Josh, Russell opens up about why he wrote Tip Toe, a gripping new drama about two neighbours whose feud grows darker and more dangerous, and how it reflects a world where online anger is spilling into real life with terrifying consequences.  He talks candidly about what it still feels like to come out every single day, why the MeToo movement barely scratched the surface, and why he thinks intimacy coordinators on set are essential, not optional. He also gets into why visibility, the very thing he has championed his whole career, may now be making the queer community a bigger target, and why he believes a fight is coming that we all need to be ready for. 🎥 ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the YouTube channel ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠& ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠follow the show on Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ &⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ @joshsmithsgreatchatshow 📩 Business enquiries – [email protected] ──────────────────────── About Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is a podcast built on one belief: connection comes first.

    From an unknown actress to the First Lady of Musical Theatre, Dame Elaine Paige's story is one of the great showbusiness journeys. Eighteen years of auditions, rejection, and near-quitting before one role changed her life overnight. In this chat with Josh, Elaine opens up about the chaos that happened when the world found out she'd been cast in Evita, how she escaped a pack of journalists who chased her down the street, and the moment she burst into tears telling her mum she didn't want the fame that came with it.

She also reflects on meeting actress Rachel Zegler who took on Elaine’s famous role in Evita, the life-changing wisdom Stephen Sondheim passed on to her, and why she thinks music and arts in state schools should be everybody's urgent priority.
