Fashion Weekly Podcast

I sat down and brainstormed what kind of podcast I would want to listen to, who would make an interesting guest and which topics would be interesting - and here we are! Enter - the Fashion Weekly Podcast with Miranda Holder!

Those who know me well will not be surprised that I have started my own podcast. I originally trained in acting at RADA and the performing bug is definitely still biting.

I love the thrill of presenting on television or radio - often live, which just adds the adrenalin rush - and I have really enjoyed my series of ‘Miranda Meets;’ interviews on Instagram.

One of my team suggested that I start a podcast and I actually wondered why I hadn’t done so before. With the new remote working lifestyle that so many of us have adopted it just seemed to make sense.

I sat down and brainstormed what kind of podcast I would want to listen to, who would make an interesting guest and which topics would be interesting - and here we are! Enter - the Fashion Weekly Podcast with Miranda Holder - available on all the usual outlets; Apple, Spotify and of course direct via this website should you prefer.

Anthea

I wanted to make a bit of a splash with my first guest, and was thrilled when the very lovely Anthea Turner accepted. We know a lot of people in common in the industry, but hadn’t actually met before, she has had a fascinating career and has certainly gone through her fair share of trials in life, so I just knew she would be a fascinating guest…. and she is!

Anthea is incredibly open and generous throughout the interview, we discuss the highs and lows of her 30 years in showbusiness, what it was like working at Blue Peter at the time when it had 6.5 million viewers. We chat Wish You were Here, how groundbreaking the National Lottery was when it first started, how Celebrity Big Brother made TV history and much much more.

Anthea shares her tips on home-management after her successful series ‘The Perfect Housewife’, we discuss the elixir of youth and staying young in heart, body and mind as you get older and heartache and how to survive it.

Finally, we chat about Anthea’s favourite style choices and to whet your appetite, I’ve shared a few of my questions here - you’ll have to tune in of course to hear her answers!
