Just when I assumed that we wouldn\u2019t get a more A list guest on a British podcast than The Duchess of Cambridge (on Giovanna Fletcher\u2019s<\/strong> Happy Mum, Happy Baby<\/em><\/strong><\/a>), we now have a guest as equally high profile \u2013 her husband, The Duke of Cambridge, on the That Peter Crouch<\/em><\/strong><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The conversation between Prince William,<\/strong>Tom Fordyce,<\/strong>Chris Stark <\/strong>and Peter Crouch<\/strong> is a surreal one to listen to at first. For one thing, they ordered an Uber Eats to Kensington Palace and then ate a curry on silver plates. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But it is an engaging conversation too. William talks about the importance of opening up about our mental health (\u201cit\u2019s a strength to talk about your mental health, it is not a weakness,\u201d <\/em>he says) and they all discuss how sport is a bit like meditation, it keeps our minds in check. A good reminder at a time such as this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The only more high profile guest yet to happen in British podcasting is The Queen. I reckon that it will happen, seeing that she was spotted having a conversation on Zoom<\/a> this week (and she looked as bored as we all are on Zoom). Her own podcast, surely, must be around the corner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(And whilst not a British podcast, I thought I should mention that Michelle Obama<\/strong> has launched her own this week, which will be <\/em>exclusively available on Spotify<\/em><\/a>. In the first weekly episode the former First Lady interviews her husband, Barack<\/strong>.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are a lot of big guests on podcasts this week:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
