Previous guests include Tom Allen, Raye, Hannah Waddingham, Craig Doyle, HRH Princess Eugenie, Jam es Acaster & Ed Gamble and loads more. Kate  consistently brings her warm, thoughtful and deeply researched questions to every guest, from all corners of the entertainment industry, whether that be food, sport, music, or comedy. Every conversation allows listeners to connect with the guest and the intimacies of their story. “The show has given me a chance to share in pivotal moments in a guest’s life, like when we had Hannah Waddingham on just as Ted Lasso was gaining momentum. Hannah had been a friend of mine for some years by then and we recorded her episode at my house over a curry just as the world was waking up to her talents. It was really special to help tell her story over a couple of glasses of wine as she came into full bloom professionally.”

Even the most famous guests bring plenty of stories you’ll have never heard before. “I’ve been lucky enough to carry on working as a journalist and interviewer for 30 years now and the format of the show gives me a chance to really dive into all I’ve learnt across those years. If a guest says “that’s a really hard question” or “I’ve never been asked that before” it feels like a win – it means we’re exploring new territory!”. It’s like settling in for a chat with an old friend – the show is charming, ferociously funny and often deeply heartfelt. “The general rule of thumb we apply is if a guest is booked onto the show then it’s because they’ve done enough extraordinary things in their life to warrant you lending us your ears for an hour. They are all “best in class” from whatever field they’re in, be it acting, singing, food, sport, politics or entertainment” says Kate.

Every Friday, listeners can hear brand new interviews with various well-known names, as well as a deep dive into the show’s cellar every Tuesday, where Kate will take us back down memory lane with some of the most interesting guests from previous episodes. “We have
some gems lined up over the next few months – there’s a real life living legend in the form of the first British astronaut to ever walk in space and a member of probably the most famous family on the planet…but I can’t say any more on that for now!”

Join the Docs: Empowering Healthcare Conversations

Into: Join the Docs, a podcast brought to you by Podshop, hosted by Professor Jonathan Sackier and Doctor Nigel Guest, seasoned medical professionals with a knack for storytelling with a slice of old school humour. With informative discussions and some very bad jokes along the way, Jonathan and Nigel, our valued clients, aim to empower their listeners with details they can use to seek the best healthcare.

But, Join the Docs isn’t just about medical jargon and diagnoses; it’s a journey into the heart of holistic health. Health, for them, transcends mere absence of disease; it encompasses mental, emotional, and social well-being. As doctors who trained together and are dear friends, they believe in the power of laughter as the best medicine. Their podcast delves into topics impacting all facets of health, offering insights and clarity on complex issues while sharing the joy of their profession. It’s like being privy to a conversation behind the curtains of healthcare, where they aim to empower listeners with knowledge and a dash of humour to navigate their own well-being journeys.

So what can you expect from Join the Docs as they release weekly episodes over the coming months?

Behind the scenes, our marketing efforts have been equally strong, with targeted campaigns aimed at introducing Jonathan, Nigel, and their unique humour to the world.

Insights from Jonathan and Nigel

In a recent interview, Jonathan and Nigel shared their perspectives on Join the Docs:

What inspired Join the Docs, and what overarching message do you aspire to impart to your audience through each episode?

Nigel: Join the docs was inspired as an extension of the conversations held naturally between two close friends who have been so from the first few days at Medical School until present day.

We have had diverse medical career pathways and yet share a love of medicine, it’s complexities, challenges and the privilege of shared experiences with our patients. We cannot help but mine the wealth of humour in medicine, sharing our experiences from the sublime to the ridiculous and our occasional incredulity at some human behaviours.

Our aspiration is to share our enthusiasm, to entertain and amuse but also to educate with the information we share and the golden thread running through our podcasts of when to seek professional medical advice.

Join the Docs has an eclectic array of topics. Could you shed light on your process for selecting these subjects?

Jonathan: Join the Docs certainly looks to see what people are searching for online, what topics are in the news and patients have asked us questions about over the years. And of course, selfishly, things that fascinate and entertain us….and we hope, the audience! We also really want to make a difference, to help people find the right approaches and avoid the wrong ones. Just today we have received two “thank you’s” from people who took action as a direct result of listening to Join the Docs.
