Hello and welcome to another exciting episode of The MarshyCast! As always, thank you for reading and listening. I’m taking a short break from my radio shows this week to enjoy some family time over half term, but don’t worry—I’ve got an amazing podcast to keep you entertained. Plus, I’ll be posting videos on YouTube, so keep an eye on my socials!

Now, on to this week’s line-up, and trust me, it’s a stellar one!

First up, I had the privilege of speaking with the brilliant director Joe Stephenson about his highly anticipated film Midas Man, which hits Prime Video on October 30th. Joe takes us through the fascinating story of Brian Epstein, the man who discovered The Beatles and shaped the iconic Mersey Beat sound. We dive into Epstein’s incredible impact on music history and explore the tragic struggles he faced along the way. Joe’s passion and attention to detail make this film a must-watch, and I couldn’t be more excited for you to hear from him!

Next, I’m joined by animal expert and all-around adventurer Steve Backshall MBE, who is currently touring the UK with his Oceans show. We discuss his wild encounters with dangerous creatures, how he’s still standing after all the bites and stings, and why he’s so passionate about making shows for both adults and kids. Oh, and the big question—who would win in a fight: a crocodile or a shark? Steve’s answer might surprise you!

Finally, I sat down with comedian Robin Morgan, who is touring his latest stand-up show The Spark. We talk about keeping the spark alive in relationships after years of marriage and kids, the joy of connecting with an audience through inside jokes, and the art of being a great warm-up comedian.

Thank you so much for supporting The MarshyCast! Don’t forget to like, subscribe, and share the pod. I’m off for a family break, but I’ll be back next week with another great episode just for you!
