Walking The Dog with Emily Dean · Sian Welby (Part One) · 21 Jul 2026 podcast

But you've done early morning breakfast shows before.

Yeah, but did it take over your Friday night and then into weekend?

I didn't go out on a Friday for 15 years.

I do find it has genuinely helped me, like you say, say no to things that I genuinely didn't want to do anyway.

but you can't really have much of a social life in the week and sleep becomes such a currency.

I can't switch off from how many minutes I'm lacking.

I'll panic if I'm starting to, I'll look at something, say if I'm doing an event in the week and I think, oh, it's 10 o'clock now, so that's six hours, 11 o'clock, five hours, 12 o'clock, right, I've got four hours sleep now and I can't switch that off.

yes i am so it's like the two top answers i could do with that yeah 410 and yes i am absolutely shattered i'm knackered it's hard though because really you still have to operate in a normal working day because stuff still you know you in this industry you normally have a couple of jobs on the go because you never know which one's going to go yeah at any point in your career you can just suddenly get oh we're not doing this show anymore or that's coming to an end so i think it's the curse of like the freelancer that you always have other work on just to hedge your bets

And then you're still maybe answering emails in a normal work environment.

Well, by 5 p.m., I've been doing 13 hours.

And then I'm doing mum mode.

And at 5 o'clock, it's pick up from nursery.

And that's the whole evening routine then.

I think in a way it's good at least you're getting up early yes as which is I think preferable to doing a night shift I totally agree I actually I've done I used to it wasn't even that late but when I started on heart radio I did 7 p.m till 10 and I was sort of waiting all day to start work and didn't really know what to do with myself and so I started coming into work earlier and earlier and giving them more and more hours of my time for free almost because I just didn't I was just hanging around

Maybe we... Oh, I'll just give you for a second.

Unless we just walk back the way we went and went to one of those benches that were in the shade up there.

there were a couple up there we could go there the only they said look those three looked a bit in the sun didn't they there was there was some on the right that were a bit shaded yeah let's go and have a look and then we'll yeah that's a good idea look i like you you're a problem solver yeah oh yeah we've got us no no i'll never not find a solution for something i love that about you yeah yeah you've just got to crack on haven't you it's like right we'll find somewhere and i did i did spot there was some on more of the right side when we were in

He's like, why are we circling back now?

It was in the shade, look.

Oh, they might be getting up.
