To prove that there is no age limit to getting into podcasting, the broadcaster and actor Peter Purves has just launched a podcast at the age of 86. 

It’s an engaging and entertaining listen too, where he interviews friends and  household names, such as his former Blue Peter co-presenter Valerie Singleton and Colin Baker, who of course was The Doctor in Doctor Who. They all swap stories about their careers, sharing memories about fame and updating us on their lives today.
