Getting Personal with Daphne Bugler and Isabella Hobbs

with Eddie Huang

Tue, 02 Mar 2021 07:56:40 GMT

This week we’re joined by Eddie Huang, an author, chef, restaurateur, food personality, and producer. Eddie published his autobiography ‘Fresh Off the Boat: A Memoir’ in 2013, which covers his childhood & adulthood and the struggles with identity he experienced growing up, which was later adapted into an ABC sitcom. Alongside his Lower Manhattan restaurant, BaoHaus, Eddie also hosted ‘Huang’s World’ on VICE, taking viewers on a hilarious journey exploring race, identity, multiculturalism and food.

In this episode we talk to Eddie about his childhood in the US with young Taiwanese immigrant parents, learning to choose empathy and forgiveness, and (of course) lots of food chat.

Above and beyond his work in the NHS, Dr. Emeka has also developed a major following on TikTok where he posts informative content about healthcare and medicine, works to debunk myths and counter misinformation, and aims to spread positivity (with a few dances thrown in too).

In this episode we talk to Dr. Emeka about his experience working on the frontlines as a doctor throughout the pandemic, the messages he hopes to spread on his platforms, and how TikTok has kept him optimistic and hopeful throughout the last year.

We're back! To kick off our second season of 'Getting Personal' we're joined by the one and only Amy Dowden. In the middle of the UK's third lockdown, we had a wonderful chat with Amy over Zoom which is definitely one for all of the Strictly Come Dancing fans out there.

We chatted all things Strictly with Amy, from what it was like to film during lockdown and bubble up with her partner, to her memories with her fellow professional dancers and how it feels to be judged on national television. We also chatted about her career highlights and how she found love through dance. Last year, Amy also released a documentary with the BBC titled 'Strictly Amy: Crohn's and Me' which detailed her experience living with Crohn's disease. Amy shared with us what it was like to be so vulnerable and how she felt sharing her story with the nation.

Head over to BBC iPlayer to watch Amy's documentary here, and you can also learn more about Crohn's at https://www.crohnsandcolitis.org.uk/

with Laura Jackson

Tue, 13 Oct 2020 07:00:44 GMT

Our guest this week is an activist who founded the ‘Januhairy’ movement back in 2019. An initiative that encourages women to grow their body hair for the month of January and share images of themselves online, whilst also donating to ‘Body Gossip’, a charity that combines Arts & Education to empower everybody to be the best version of themselves.

Our guest first started growing out her body hair in May 2018 as part of her drama degree performance at the University of Exeter. After feeling liberated and more confident in herself, she thought of Januhairy and became eager to get more friends and family involved for the month of Januhairy.

The campaign hashtag has now attracted thousands of posts from women across the world. Januhairy is not about shaming women who choose to remove body and facial hair, as our guest has said for the Guardian online at the beginning of this year; “Shave whenever you want to, but make sure you’re making the choice for you... It’s not just about hair, it’s about building a conversation around the subject.”

We’re incredibly excited to announce our final guest for our first season. This week we’re getting personal with Laura Jackson.

Thank you so much to everyone who has listened this season, we'll be back very soon with our second series and some incredible guests! In the meantime, you can find us on Instagram @gettingpersonalpodcast. Send us a message with who you would like to hear on the show next, and make sure to leave us a review on Apple Podcasts.

And thank you to Laura for joining us this week. You can find her on Instagram here.

with Freddie Long

Tue, 06 Oct 2020 07:00:05 GMT

Our guest this week is Freddie Long, a Sussex-born singer-songwriter who quickly garnered momentum after uploading his tracks online. He spent his teenage years privately writing and recording songs in his bedroom while feeding his appetite for live performance at Karaoke nights and friend’s birthdays. Since releasing his debut EP ‘Blessed Or Cursed,’ he has received accolades from Complex, Notion, Wonderland, Official Charts, tmrw Magazine, CLASH, Mahogany, and BBC Introducing. He has also performed live at The Great Escape, Sundown Festival, and BBC Introducing Live. Having received 500,000 plays on his latest EP ‘These Darker Days’ within a few weeks, we completely agree with MTV who have labelled our guest ‘Ones to watch‘, as he continues to gain traction in the music industry.

Thank you so much to Freddie for chatting with us and sharing his experiences. You can find him on Instagram here.

with Bishop Kevin Foreman

Tue, 29 Sep 2020 07:00:16 GMT

This week’s guest is an influential pastor, bishop, success coach, speaker, author, philanthropist & entrepreneur. Often called “The People’s Bishop,” he founded and currently leads the Harvest Church in Aurora, Colorado, a progressive, multicultural, multi-generational, non-denominational church.

In 2008, our guest launched the Harvest Foundation, which puts on community-based events to meet the practical needs of the people, including the annual Back to School event to provide students with new backpacks full of school supplies, food, clothing, haircuts, dental supplies, and much more ensuring that every student in the community can return to school equipped with what they need.

In this episode we discuss with Bishop Foreman how he handles fear while dealing with the pressures of leadership, the way he turns anger into positive action, and how he works to give back in his community.

Thank you so much to Bishop Foreman for chatting with us and sharing his experiences. You can find him on Instagram here.

with Jennifer Niven

Tue, 22 Sep 2020 07:00:13 GMT

Our guest this week is the author of the New York Times and international bestsellers ‘Holding Up the Universe’ and ‘All the Bright Places’, the latter of which was a smash Netflix film starring Elle Fanning and Justice Smith. Her books have been translated into 75 languages and have won literary awards around the world. In 2000, she started writing full-time, and has released nonfiction and fiction, both historical and contemporary, adult and Young Adult. Her books all share a common theme: they are stories about ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Our guest also oversees the literary and lifestyle web magazine, Germ, for people of high school age and beyond, which celebrates beginnings, futures, and everything in between. As an author, she has always tackled provocative subjects that are personal to her such as suicide and body image, and now she turns her attention to sex and the concept of losing your virginity, in her newest novel ‘Breathless’, set to be released on the 29th September. This is her most personal novel yet, being inspired by her parents’ divorce as a teenager, and her own whirlwind romance with her husband who she met in 2018 on a remote Georgia island, whilst seeking inspiration for her novel.

Thank you to Jennifer for taking the time to join us this week and to Penguin. BREATHLESS by Jennifer Niven is out on 29th September and is published by Penguin in paperback, RRP £7.99.

Today we are joined by Tenille Townes, one of the hottest stars in country music right now, who called in to chat to us all the way from Nashville, Tenessee. Born in Grand Prairie, Alberta, Canada, our guest was nominated for her first major award for Female Artist of the Year in the Canadian Country Music Awards at only 17 and has since become one of the genre’s biggest rising stars.

After years of work, she also released her debut full length album, The Lemonade Stand, earlier this year.

In incredibly exciting news our guest has also been announced as the winner of ACM award for New Female Artist of the Year after Keith Urban surprised her with the news over a Zoom call. On September 16th, as well as receiving her award, she will be joining the iconic artists from Taylor Swift, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, Carrie Underwood and Gwen Stefani to perform at the awards, which will be broadcast from different venues across Nashville and hosted by Keith Urban.

with Gerald Isaac Waters

Tue, 08 Sep 2020 07:00:51 GMT

This week our guest is an actor who joins us straight off the back of the release of the Netflix film ‘All Together Now’ where he had his debut film role as Chad. Based on the book ‘Sorta Like a Rockstar’ by Matthew Quick, he proved himself a star to look out for as he acted alongside Auli’i Cravalho, Carol Burnett and an incredibly talented cast. He has also previously guest starred on the TBS show ‘Angie Tribeca’, modelled for campaigns with Target and walked in New York Fashion Week.

Originally from Tennessee, he moved to California in 2015 to pursue an acting career. Shortly after arriving in L.A, he was involved in an accident which injured his spinal cord, leaving him paralysed from the waist down and reliant on a wheelchair. Despite his doctors telling him it was unlikely he would ever regain movement, in the last year he has regained most movement in his upper body and continues to progress.

This week we’re Getting Personal with actor Gerald Isaac Waters.

Thank you so much to Gerald for speaking to us this week. You can follow him on Instagram here and watch ‘All Together Now’ on Netflix.

with Madeleine Ryan

Tue, 01 Sep 2020 07:00:13 GMT

Our guest today is an Australian writer, director, author and an outspoken advocate for neurodiversity. Her articles & essays have appeared in The Daily Telegraph, The Sydney Morning Herald, Vice, Bustle, Lenny & The New York Times. She has written extensively on what it is like to be an autistic woman and her personal experiences since learning she was autistic in recent years.

Her debut novel, ‘A Room Called Earth’, tells the story of a young autistic woman getting ready for and attending what is sure to be an eventful party. With each encounter during the evening, the vast discrepancies between what she is thinking, and feeling, and what she is able to say is revealed. The book is a highly personal and intimate adventure into the mind of one particular autistic woman, and a fascinating journey of self-acceptance. ‘A Room Called Earth’ is out now in the US and Canada, and available for pre-order in the UK, Australia and New Zealand.

This week we’re getting personal with Madeleine Ryan.

Thank you so much to Madeleine for taking the time to speak to us this week and for Penguin for organising. You can find Madeleine’s website here and order/pre-order her book here.

with Lennon Stella

Tue, 25 Aug 2020 07:00:11 GMT

This week we are getting personal with the fabulous singer-songwriter and former ‘Nashville’ actress, Lennon Stella.

At 21, Lennon has already had over 9 years of experience in the entertainment industry, having been cast at just 12 years old for a leading role on the hit US TV show, ‘Nashville’ alongside her younger sister Maisy. The show gave them a unique opportunity to not only act, but to sing and even write songs for the series as well. They have since performed together as a duo for years, and have even released a children’s book together.

Since ‘Nashville’ ended in 2018 she has launched an incredible solo career collaborating with some of the biggest artists in the charts right now, including Liam Payne, The Chainsmokers, Meghan Trainor and Jonas Blue. In April of this year, Lennon released her debut studio album ‘Three. Two. One.’ Not only does she have an extraordinary musical talent, but she has a rare ability to tap into emotions with her songwriting and a beautiful connection with her listeners. Her songs are raw and personal and reflect a wisdom well beyond her years.

We sat down for a chat about how quarantine produced the biggest flood of emotions, her relationship with her sister, and what it was like to grow up in the public eye.

Thank you so much to Lennon for taking the time to speak to us, you can listen to her debut studio album ‘Three. Two. One.’ now and find her on Instagram @lennonstella

with Pervis Taylor

Tue, 18 Aug 2020 07:00:27 GMT

This week we sat down for an open and honest conversation with mental health expert, celebrity life coach and author Pervis Taylor.

Having recently published his book, Surthrival Mode, Pervis talks openly about his revolutionary views of emotions and mental health by depicting his own personal narrative of abuse, depression and low self-esteem.

Through his writing, Pervis has found a devoted audience of young men of colour who connect with his progressive vision of masculinity and emotional intelligence. In this episode, he emphasises the importance of acknowledging how labelling and stereotyping can leave black men and women unable to have a space to express and accept their emotions, and opens up a crucial conversation about the ways in which race and gender come into play in emotional situations.

Pervis currently lends his expertise to the New York City Department of Education, as well as several colleges across the city and has been invited to take part in CUNY’s Black Male Initiative, and honored as a ‘BE Modern Man’ by Black Enterprise Magazine.

Thank you so much to Pervis for taking the time to speak to us from New York this week about his personal experiences and journey with emotions. We are incredibly honoured. You can find him on Instagram here and his book is available to purchase here.

TW: Suicide. During the recording for this episode, there is brief mention of suicide and depression. Pervis also shared a story about a friend of his who died by suicide which was not included in the final cut. Whilst we think it is incredibly important to have discussions about topics such as this, after consulting with Samaritans guidelines for broadcast media, we felt that as distinguishing details were revealed, it was not appropriate to include this segment. If you or someone you know needs confidential support and advice, you can reach the Samaritans by phone 116 123 or via email jo@samaritans.org

We also apologise in advance for some of the audio in this episode, unfortunately we had a few sound issues as Pervis did not have access to a microphone.

This week we’re getting personal with television presenter and journalist Jake Humphrey. You’ll recognise him from BBC Sport’s coverage of Formula 1 Grand Prix, presenting BT Sport football, and covering the 2008 Beijing and 2012 London Olympics. These days he also hosts the High Performance Podcast with Professor Damian Hughes, where he delves into the lives of high-achieving, world-class performers.

Jake joined us this week to chat about how emotions have played a role in his life, both personally and professionally. We take a moment to step back and discuss everything from handling social media trolls, the fear behind presenting a sports show to millions, what happens when things go wrong, being a father and the pain that comes with losing family members before their time.

Thank you so much to Jake for taking the time to speak to us, you can listen to his podcast here and find him on Instagram here.
