    Patrick Grant (Part One)

    This week, Emily and Raymond are taking a walk in Battersea Park with the brilliant Patrick Grant! Patrick is well-loved for his role as a judge on The Great British Sewing Bee. He’s also a designer, entrepreneur, owner of Community Clothing - a sustainable fashion label. 
    Although Patrick doesn’t currently have a dog, he has a wealth of dog experience from his idyllic childhood in Edinburgh - which sounds like it was a scene straight out of The Wind In The Willows. He explains the origins of his lifelong interest in clothes and we discuss the subtleties of being well-dressed. 
    Patrick’s book LESS - Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer Better Things Can Make Us Happier is available now!

    David Baddiel (Part One)

    David Baddiel (Part One)

    Join Emily and Ray to take a walk on Hampstead Heath with the legendary comedian and friend of the podcast, David Baddiel.
    David is a huge cat lover - he’s had over 20 cats in his life. However, we popped down the road to see Frank Skinner who kindly lent us his dog Poppy for our walk. Frank seemed very relaxed with the idea of us taking Poppy out - but David wasn’t so sure...
    We chat about David’s childhood dog Dingle, his origin story with cats in the Baddiel household, his mum’s affair with a golf memorabilia salesman and David's unconventional birthday party invitation.
    David’s new memoir My Family is out on Thursday 4th July. You can buy your copy here!
    A Muslim & A Jew Go There - hosted by David Baddiel and Sayeeda Warsi - is available on all podcast platforms.

    Lou Sanders (Part Two)

    Rejoin Emily and Raymond with Lou Sanders on our sunny North London stroll! 
    Lou tell us about listening to her inner drive and starting out in comedy, how some advice from Sara Pascoe helped her career and how she feels about asking for help from her friends. She tells us about the joys of Taskmaster and Dancing On Ice - and we end the podcast back at Lou’s so she could take one of her beloved cats to the vets! 
    Lou’s book What’s That Lady Doing? is coming out in paperback on 18th July. You can pre-order your copy here!
    Lou is on tour next year with her show No Kissing In The Bingo Hall. You can find tickets and dates at https://www.lousanders.com/

    Lou Sanders (Part One)

    Lou Sanders (Part One)

    This week on Walking The Dog, we’re taking a walk in North London with the brilliant comedian Lou Sanders. Lou has appeared on shows such as QI and Would I Lie To You? and she also won the eighth series of Taskmaster. 
    Lou is pretty obsessed with her two cats - she’s even moving house for them, but we think Ray won her over and scored a few points for Team Dog. Lou has a long history with cats - she even had one with showbiz aspirations... She tells us about being an alcoholic at a young age, moving out of her family home at 15 and how the complex relationship she had with her family has healed over time. 
    Lou’s book What’s That Lady Doing? is coming out in paperback on 18th July. You can pre-order your copy here!

    Simon Brodkin (Part Two)

    Simon Brodkin (Part Two)

    Join Emily and Raymond back on Hampstead Heath with the brilliant comedian Simon Brodkin. 
    Simon tells us about pulling off his legendary stunts, how he has become comfortable with himself and how he feels more of a connection with his work now he is performing stand up out of character. 
    Simon is strictly team cat but we think after this walk he’s got a bit of a soft spot for Ray. We had a brilliant walk - but make sure you stick around until the end of the podcast - because the tone suddenly shifts…
    Simon has added final extra dates to his stand up tour Screwed Up - including two extra shows at the Hammersmith Apollo. Tickets are selling fast, so head to simonbrodkin.com for dates and more details. 
    Follow Simon on Instagram and TikTok to see more of Simon's brilliant comedy.

The search is over!

I had been searching and searching for another podcast to get stuck into and at last I have found one. Thank you! I have listened to Jon Ronson, who is always super in all he does, and the Tim Key one; I am a little bit more in love with him now than before. Looking forward to listening to more.

What a lovely man! You bring out the good in people and I'm loving the split episodes too as half an hour about right for me.
