Rosebud with Gyles Brandreth - I hardly need to introduce Gyles Brandreth (and his jumpers) as he’s such a familiar presence on daytime television. His new podcast features him sitting down with a familiar name to ask them about their first memories of life and how these early experiences have shaped them to become the person they are today. He has also had a knack in attracting some rather big names in just a few weeks. The names so far are Dame Judi Dench. Alison Hammond and Ken Bruce. There’s also the chance for you to share your first memories with other listeners in their postbag.
