🎙️ The MarshyCast – This Week’s Guests! 🎙️

Welcome back to another episode of The MarshyCast! This week, we’ve got an incredible lineup of guests covering crime, books, and nostalgia. As always, you can catch even more interviews and fun on my live radio shows—weekdays from 10 AM on Express FM and 4 PM on HGV1 Radio. Now, let’s dive into this week’s podcast!

🔹 Will Mellor, Former DCI Howard Groves & Psychologist Serena Simmons join me to discuss Season 2 of Cops Gone Bad on Crime+Investigation. We talk about the harrowing first episode featuring Lauren Taylor’s tragic story and her abuser, Adam Provan. Will shares how it felt watching the footage for the first time on camera, while Howard and Serena discuss the state of policing today and whether public trust has been lost. We also explore how crime documentaries aren’t just entertainment—they can genuinely make a difference.

📚 Bestselling children’s author Pippa Goodhart, award-winning illustrator Nick Sharratt, and McDonald's franchisee Jayne Aspin-Mayne chat with me about World Book Day and why reading needs to be fun again! We discuss the modern challenges of getting kids into books, the importance of reading as a family, and how stories can spark imagination in young minds.

📸 Clinical Psychologist Dr. Angharad Rudkin & Haven’s Chief Customer Officer Reuben Arnold talk about the resurgence of physical photos. With so many of us storing thousands of pictures digitally but rarely looking at them, we discuss why printing and displaying photos can help keep cherished family memories alive for generations.
