4. It's A Northern Thing, Hyacinth Bucket Impressions And Hard Showbiz Lessons With Joe Mcelderry
<p>Joe Mcelderry has been lighting up stages with his insane vocal talent, his charm and infectious smile for years. Bursting into the public consciousness after winning The X Factor in 2009, he grew up through the highs and lows of showbusiness all in the spotlight of public eye.</p><p><br></p><p>17 years since that unforgettable night and Joe is no less grateful for the moment that sparked his career and the lessons he had to learn along the way. It’s obvious he was destined for great things long before he auditioned for Simon Cowell and Co.</p><p><br></p><p>This was an inspiring conversation about resilience, family and Joe’s unwavering connection to the North East. We discuss surviving in the music and television industries, his secret to success and what he would do if it all ended tomorrow. It’s fair to say I’ve never laughed so much in an episode… Joe is full of stories, advice and a joy that shines brighter than a technicolour dreamcoat!</p><p><br></p><p>One of my favourite episodes for sure.</p><p><br></p><p>Joe’s new single ‘Love Me Out Loud’ comes out June 19th. Click here for dates to his 2026 Live Tour: https://www.joemcelderryofficial.com/tour</p><p><br></p><p>______________________________</p><p><br></p><p>This podcast was recorded at Dakota Hotels, luxury boutique accommodation outside of London.

3. Failing At Fatherhood, Enjoying Feeling The Pain And Living My Paradise With Ore Oduba
<p>Well this was an unexpected deep dive… When a guest pulls out at the last minute, there aren’t many options available (except for calling for Room Service at the Dakota Hotel lol!) but to turn the mic on myself!</p><p><br></p><p>Actually, in the end, it was a beautiful accident. A chance to ask myself some important questions and realise how deeply the answers had affected me and how proud I am of myself to have come through some very challenging periods of my life and live to tell you the tales.</p><p><br></p><p>It was also just desserts to get a sense of what my guests go through in the hot seat. And just like my guests, I had no idea what would come up.. but the results made for an amazing, eye-opening, healing episode.</p><p><br></p><p>From dealing with grief, the role the gym played in managing a hugely painful period in my life to fatherhood and the changes I had to make to save my relationship with my kids.. this was a delve into the unknown. But raised themes that might feel familiar to you. Enjoy.</p><p><br></p><p>______________________________</p><p><br></p><p>This podcast was recorded at Dakota Hotels, luxury boutique accommodation outside of London.

2. Vocal Anxiety, Leading Man Energy and Being a Strictly Husband With Ben Joyce
<p><br></p><p>Ben Joyce is one of the West End’s most accomplished musical theatre actors, nominated for multiple awards recognising his many notable performances including Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys, Marty McFly in Back To The Future: The Musical and Quasimodo in The Hunchback of Notre Dame. </p><p><br></p><p>In early 2026, Ben landed arguably the biggest role of his career as Phillip Carlyle in the highly anticipated world premiere of The Greatest Showman Musical.</p><p><br></p><p>This interview was everything the Actors Safe Space set out to create… beautiful honesty and vulnerability from beginning to end. Ben gave such a sensitive insight into the mind of a stage actor, the fallibilities and the anxieties that come with performing live on stage every night. He also shared an insight into his early family life, who inspires him and how he’s learning every day: professionally and personally.</p><p><br></p><p>We talked about the two sides of the Strictly Come Dancing experience, including the pressure of finding something to wear in front of millions of people AND under the scrutiny of a fashion-conscious partner!! </p><p><br></p><p>Ben was such a ledge, letting me into his home in Bristol during rehearsals on the eve of his life-changing role. I’m so grateful for his openness, I know what we discussed will leave a huge impression, especially for aspiring young performers. Thanks so much Ben, you talented, gorgeous soul you.</p><p><br></p><p>______________________________</p><p><br></p><p>This video contains music from Shutterstock, licensed by Splice video editing app.</p>
