I am cherishing things I usually wouldn\u2019t think about this year: long rambling walks in the cold autumn sun, the joy when realising a restaurant I visit has an outdoor patio heater. Also, watching a television show that I would notice but never usually tune in for: Strictly Come Dancing.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Part of the reason why I am watching is down to the fact that I want a distraction, but its continued place in the Saturday schedule gives a reassurance, normality and continuation at this nervous time. The same-sex dance pairing of boxing champion Nicola Adams and Katya Jones has given the show a fresh, reflective feeling too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Nicola Adams<\/strong><\/a> joined AJ vs Curtis<\/strong><\/a> this week, a new podcast hosted by the Pritchard brothers. In it she revealed that she has been asked to participate in the show since 2012, but only agreed to participate this time if she could dance with a woman. They also chatted about nerves: \u201cI get nervous for every competition I do,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s good because you need that adrenalin to get you fired up so when … you\u2019re doing those moves, it just makes everything just that little bit sharper.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile, on Two Shot Podcast<\/strong><\/a>, an in-depth interview series hosted by the actor Craig Parkinson (featured on this newsletter only a few weeks ago), none other than Nicole Kidman<\/strong><\/a> was a guest. In the interview they chatted about why she finds it difficult to say no to new projects, how she\u2019s worked with the same people for three decades and also …. nerves! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listening to both guests talk so openly about nerves made me feel, heck<\/em> if Nicola Adams and Nicole Kidman get nervous before they do what they <\/em>do, we can cut ourselves some slack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THERE\u2019S A LOT OF NOTABLE GUESTS ON PODCASTS THIS WEEK:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
