When Barbara caught up with Toyah back in 2020, the pair talked about the re-release of Toyah’s album Sheep Farming in Barnet on Cherry Red Records, the magic of connecting with audiences (even in the biggest gigs), and how performing is nothing without that shared energy between artist and crowd.

Somewhere along the way they also find themselves talking wild swimming in the Avon… and yes, sheep on trampolines.

(It’ll make sense when you listen: here’s the video)

When Barbara spoke to Reg back in 2020, he was living in New Zealand, reminiscing about nights at Birmingham’s legendary Gag Club, where he helped shape the character that became Barbara Nice herself.

They chat about the future comedy stars who passed through those doors, the glorious eccentrics who made every gig unpredictable, and how Reg found a new life performing as a hypnotist down under.

He now calls Australia home.

Steve’s first job in radio came while he was studying at Leeds University, but his career soon led him into TV - and right into the eye of the storm on Have I Got News For You. He shares what it was like to be in the office as the Angus Deayton headlines broke, and why Series 23 Episode 6 is burned into his memory forever.

But Steve is quick to say he’s always been “too nice” for television - and that’s why he prefers radio. Barbara chats with him about loving your job so much it doesn’t feel like work, his (mostly positive) feelings about the BBC, and some exciting projects still to come.

Daliso was a finalist on Britain’s Got Talent in 2017, and he’s since appeared on QI, Have I Got News For You, The Royal Variety Performance, The News Quiz, and more. His stand-up clips have racked up over 300 million views online, and his BBC Radio 4 series Citizen of Nowhere was nominated for a Rose d’Or Award. He’s performed at major comedy festivals worldwide and is now touring the UK with his brand-new show Feed This Black Man Again.

The pair dive into conversations about shopping (including the maximum age for shoplifting), almost getting arrested in Malawi (Daliso, not Barbara) and the importance of saying yes to everything (although Daliso drew the line at Bargain Hunt).

The film focuses on Birmingham alternative rock band "The Nightingales" and Stewart chats to Barbara about the making of the film as well as their shared history in the band's early days in Brum when Stewart was a fledgling standup and Barbara was part of her own groups the Surprises and The Ever-Readys

They manage to unearth some stories about their shared past on the Birmingham music scene unique to them as well as working out how many curries it takes to make a film and how Frank Skinner's memories of being in the band made everyone question their collective memories.

Harriet comes to visit Barbara electronically, but if she had traveled she'd have set off from sunny Glossop and noted down all the animals she saw on her journey.
She still does that anyway, but she also finds time to talk about her comedy show where comedians confess their sins to her on stage, her new book that is still a long way from being completed and working out with Barbara if she's funnier off stage or on.
One thing we do know is she's definitely funny on a podcast!

Terry was one of the first adopters of the performing on zoom we almost take for granted now, and his show on Ken Loach at the start of lockdown brought Barbara to tears. Intentional tears, because it was GOOD
He also finds time to talk about that transitory moment when you realise what it is you want to really do in life as well as paint the most optimistic view of lockdown easing we've had on the podcast yet.

They talk everything from the first time you feel the need to perform at school, childish songs you invent in the playground, favourite artists and what you take from them, pigs going dig, Prince going bankrupt and much more

She was there to invite all and sundry to share a 5 minute conversation with her about whatever they see fit, and the general public certainly take her up on it.
So expect 5 minute doses of conversation about everything from business to charity, how couples meet, the young and old on their phones and the mean streets of Coventry.
AND she was on TV! Barbara makes the news kids, smashing!

Together they talk all the fabulous stars, shows and performances that (the) Mac has hosted over the years, as well as getting off track and taking the podcast in a new direction: murder.

Yes, Barbara has her eye on the true crime podcast market, look out murderers, Mrs Barbara Nice is on the case.

They also talk moon landings, the correct way to address (the) MAC, Elephants and of course a certain someone's time on the telly. 
She's free of ITV constraints and able to lift the lid on BGT.

How many chickens is worthwhile? 

How nostalgic can you be over meeting a goat on holiday? 

All these questions are pondered by Mrs Barbara Nice and this week's guest, Karen McCarthy from Localise West Midlands. Or mainly, the number 63 Bus as far as Mrs Nice is concerned 

But what do Localise do, and are local things better than non-local things? Barbara thinks she has the answer. 

Also the dreaded B-word gets a mention. But is it buses, Brexit or Bees? Only listening will reveal the answer.

And you are welcome to leave us a review and rating, or indeed ask Barbara a question like what would your idea be of a perfect shop if you could open one, or one of the many other myriad of other questions contained in this month's show. Ta kids!

So for this brief sojourn into a bit of Extra Nice, we get Barbara to sit down for 10 minutes or so to tell Producer Paul all about her time on the BGT stage, as well as behind the scenes secrets such as where the save diving supporters came from and who behind the scenes is even nicer than they appear on television 

There's also time for your feedback and comments to so if you'd like your message read out in a future episode of Extra Nice, leave us a comment/ratin

This episode Barbara lures Karen Leach in from Birmingham Friends of the Earth to talk about if the vegans are taking over and if that's a good thing. 

They also consider what it would take to make you protest in this time of protests making the news, Karen's choice of breakfast and social media echo chambers. Are we now at an age we can be nostalgic about the "good old days" of social media?

Keep 'em peeled for the Extra Nice bonus podcast coming soon too, where Barbara might even reveal what else she's been up to recently...
To be continued...

Leave Barbara a like/rating or even a comment or Question and we'll start reading them out in the Extra Nice eps too!

Over the course of their chat they run through Mikey's favourite impressions, some of which might be (surprise) surprising 

Also covered is the latest round of "beltin' TV" like the new shows from the Gervais and Partridge stables as well as the difference between gigging as a comedian and an actor, and what it is indeed like growing up in the Black Country region

Look out next week for the first mini episode to help you get between eps. 
"Extra Nice", where Barbara will get to talk about herself for a change without a guest getting in the way!

This time on Mrs Barbara Nice and Friends, invited into Producer Paul's shed to talk to Barbara is Emma Fall who Barbara met on a comedy course and has had more jobs we can list in a short introduction spiel to a podcast!

Over the course of their chat they discuss St Patrick's day and growing up Irish (But where exactly is Sligo though?), starting out in comedy and the cleaning business, as well as your fantasy ideal job, school dinner ladies and travelling down under.

That sounds like a lot for a half an hour podcast, but we've barely scratch the surface of Emma's experiences.

For her first podcast of series 2, Barbara Nice invited "Comedians Comedian" Stuart Goldsmith to producer Paul's shed at Brum Radio and a great time they had recording her first podcast of 2019

THEN, disaster! 

The shed threw a fit and decided not to record the podcast, leading to a now legendary "missing podcast" that was no doubt a treat, but will never be heard by any ears. 

Never fear, Barbara and Stuart ploughed on and recorded again, so you'll join them mid fury at Producer Paul and his equipment leading to their time being wasted

But still a jolly time was had discussing comedy, interviewing, Stuart's luscious hair, podcast itself and Stuart's upcoming gigs in Bromsgrove and his podcast gig which you can see live at the Birmingham Town Hall during "Podfest"

Join Barbara and Producer Paul for a special Christmas treat behind the scenes of Barbara’s Jig at the Midland Art Centre in Birmingham  

She is joined on the podcast by her support acts on the night, local “up ‘N comers” the Good Kids and Birmingham Indie legends The Bank Accounts  

We join her in the podcast stressing over her raffle prizes she is to provide for her audience and forcing Producer Paul to inflate many, many baloons, but as the jig gets closer and the support acts join in with the preparations (as well as a bit of pre-jig wine going down!) everything looks like it’ll turn out grand for a smashing Christmas Jig 

Merry Christmas to all Friends of Barbara Nice and she hopes you also have a piggin’ fabulous new year! 

Barbara Nice will be on tour throughout 2019, check her website for details  www.barbaranice.co.uk

First there's Liz…or is it Lynne? She teaches us about scrubbers in the showers and must improve her bust.

Then there's Julie and the Leopard, who loves a bargain and a hospital that looks like a space craft

And there's also Yacob and Mark, who teach Barbara the value of thinking less and talking to strangers in Birmingham City Centre

Stay tuned to the end and Barbara will even let you know about her upcoming jigs, if you want to see her perform visually as well as in audio

This week, Barbara invites Musician Andy Wickett to Producer Paul's shed.

You'll have heard of Andy from such bands as The Xperts, TV Eye and his current project: World Service. 

 Oh, and a little known act called Duran Duran where he was responsible for Rio and Girls on Film. Belters, both of 'em! 

Andy chats to Barbara about his time at Moseley School of Art, the night shift at Cadbury's factory and his favourite gigs over the years

Oh, and apparently Christine McVie will be dropping by if she can find parking. Her off Fleetwood Mac? Surely not!

This week, she invites new friends Sophia J.Griffin and Danny de Reybekill to the Shed to talk about public transport, clicking at the end of spoken word performances and questioning why we have to rate everything these days?

THAT SAID, Barbara would love it if you rated our podcast "Smashing" by giving it 5 stars in your podcast app.

You don't have to, but it's better than that taxi ride you had the other day eh?

In the first episode, Barbara is concerned about the demolition of one of her favourite old pubs, the fox and grapes in Birmingham city centre, and this sends her down memory lane remembering some of her best nights in public houses...
