What does the host say about Richard Osman’s background and why is he on the show?
I often say that this is a dream job of mine, and I know it is for you, but more so just to work with me, Stevie. But for me, I get to sit down and chat to some w of the most incredible people in the world. I've had my favorite footballer on, I've had my favorite comedian on, and today on the show I have probably my favorite person slash podcaster on, in the amazing Richard Osman. And what a man, Stevie. He is incredible. I could have spoken to him for about six hours. Not only is he super funny, he's one of the most interesting people we've ever spoken to. He knows everything about the world of entertainment. That's why he does a podcast literally called The Rest is Entertainment. I've been a big fan of Richards for a long, long time.
So it was an honor to get him in the studio. We cover everything really. We talk about deal or no deal and the f uh and how why that's so successful. We talk about the traitors. He gives you Some top official Richard Osman tips on how you have the best chance of getting on the show should you apply.
And of course, we talk about his book series, Thursday Murder Club, and the latest upcoming book, We Chase Shadow.
He's got a new book coming out, folks, in September. So look forward to that. I'm I'm just so happy. I can die a happy man though with that Osman on. You've wanted him for so long. I know. Well, the one thing that if if if you don't know much about Osman, and and uh going back a couple of years, I really didn't until I started listening to his pod. He is the mastermind behind some of the biggest TV shows in the world. He literally invented the format Survivor. He invented eight out of ten cats. He invented pointless. He's the main man behind your telly box, let me tell ya. So we sit down and we talk all things TV, entertainment, podcasts, and novels. And he even rates his projects from ten to one or one to ten, like I did.
Jack's not playing at cool now about how much he loves him. Doesn't play at cool in front of him either.
I thought I did. I thought we really got on. Any four year old amount. You thought it was a melt. I really liked him. This episode is brought to you by Trainline.
