White Wine Question Time

Joining us today is a singer and songwriter who’s gone from living paycheck to paycheck while posting cover videos online to Eurovison success and playing Wembley alongside bona fide rock legends. It’s the joyous Sam Ryder! Ahead of the release of his sophomore album and headline show at Wembley Arena, he talks about how he survived on “crumbs of comfort” from his early days in the music scene while struggling through difficult jobs. Consistently doing things for the right reasons was eventually rewarded as he graduated from doing weddings - something he still loves - to playing stadiums, his Glastonbury debut and celebrated performances around the world. Despite the success, Sam remains the same humble, joyous soul he was before the deserved accolades that have come his way in recent years.

Today, we're so happy to be revisiting a conversation with a woman who helped redefine how an entire generation of women saw themselves, their aspirations and their sexuality. It's only the bloody author of Sex and the City, Candace Bushnell! Candace was such amazing company - we spoke about the crossover between her life and the lives of Carrie, Samantha, Mr Big, et al - and also spoke more about how modern women view themselves in a better light, thanks to her! It's a lovely listen with maybe the best dinner party guest ever. Fill out Stak's listener survey here to have a chance at winning a PS5!

Today, we're joined by a writer, presenter, and author who has lived under the glare of public scrutiny since his mother began a relationship with our now-king – something he's handled with admirable humour and good grace. It's the charming Tom Parker-Bowles! Tom joins us fresh off the release of his new cookbook 'Let's Eat' to tell us hilarious and heartfelt tales from the kitchen and beyond. He reminisces about the realities of growing up around brutal press intrusion, even if some of the headlines he'll admit were his own doing! Plus: the best bits from a life writing about food, the joys of family life and dispelling a few well-touted rumours!  Fill out Stak's listener survey here to have a chance at winning a PS5!

It's the 4th of July this weekend for our friend across the Pond, so we wanted to celebrate two American guests who represent their country in the best possible way! First up, the phenomenal singer-songwriter with one of the most recognisable voices in pop music. It’s noughties icon Anastacia! Anastacia spoke to us about some amazing highs and difficult lows from her near-30-year career, including health troubles that have threatened her career and the harsh realities of the music industry - but also some iconic moments, like performing at Elton John’s wedding and sharing the stage with Celine Dion for an unexpected rendition of ACDC!

Joining us today is a presenter, model and author who has become a certified podcasting queen after a string of successful shows, all delivered with her trademark mix of self-aware craic and personable warmth: it’s the gorgeous Vogue Williams! We sat down for a chat about her wilder younger days back in Ireland - with days often spent modelling in a burger costume or sneaking off to festivals - and how her career has blossomed since arriving in the UK. Plus, some hilarious cultural differences between her and her husband Spencer, the joys of becoming an author and the journey to self-empowerment - it’s a heartfelt and hilarious chat with a certified gem!
