Hello and welcome to another episode of Castaway, where I'm delighted to say today's guest is also a good mate of mine.

You might first have been introduced to Emily Atack as a popular girl on the Inbetweeners, but Emily's career didn't stop there as she's gone on from strength to strength doing all sorts of awesome things, including

I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here back in 2018, hosting her own comedy show and podcast, and of course,

my fellow captain on Celebrity Juice. Emily and I had a little chat about the importance of

podcast, the importance of storytelling, and more specifically the importance of ranting on what's upset you now

and how emily's love of food drinks and son are satisfied by alan car and the off-menu podcast

emily recalls the moments that have defined her career on their podcast plot twist which leads us to

talk about the challenges of being a woman in spotlight we even squeeze in time to talk about her own captivating podcast,

lie detector, where she investigates some of the most unbelievable cases of lies

and his honesty.

You have ever heard it's a goodie.

We kind of do forget about halfway through the podcast that we are recording,

so it just becomes a good

al-natter between mates. This is Castaway with Emily Atack. Emily Atack, welcome to Castaway.

Oh, hello. We've never done this before. No, it's weird. And we're doing this,

like normally when I do this, right, I feel like I'm normally a little bit more professional than this, or I pretend I'm professional because there could be like mad stuff going on in the background and I never let on. But because I know you, I'm like, I'm having one of those mornings. Yeah. My head, my hair is in a towel at the moment. I'm wearing slippers. I've been running around. But I normally wouldn't reveal this information to my guess but I feel I can with you. Yeah, no, exactly. We're pals. But we were just saying, weren't we, before the recording started, that we get scared about when it's on podcast, how much you're going to say, because TV, you sort of filter everything, podcast, you just end up saying stuff, especially if it's your mate. And I feel like, the second I just heard you start talking, I'm just chatting to Laura. So who knows what the hell I'm going to say? Why is it? Why is it we're a bit more open? And because you've been in this industry a long time, and I think especially when you come through, you know, big shows that you've worked on and you do the media run and you do all the promo and, you know, starting off at the Inbetweeners when you were so young. And there is kind of a little bit of caution. Did you ever get media trained? Because I remember getting media trained at MTV so I wouldn't say anything stupid. Yes. It was only, it was a few hours, but it was just so I wouldn't say anything stupid. Yeah. No, to the first thing, I just, I just trained as I went along. I mean, I started, I started the in-betweeners when I was 17, but it was a very kind of different world then, really. It was before social media. I think the in-betweeners, the first episode went out. The first week, Instagram was launched. So, it was like, I think Facebook was a rap. Facebook was kind of the first thing that people were getting to groups with a little bit, but it was, it was kind of like, there was just less to worry about then. There was the old TV appearance and the odd interview in a magazine or whatever, but really it wasn't like, we weren't as exposed then. So I kind of didn't really feel like training was, was kind of needed.

I've just sort of trained myself through the years up until now, really. You just sort of learn,

you learn the hard way, really, learn the do's and the don'ts. And, you know, you learn that every

single word that comes out your mouth is, is under a microscope. So for someone like me,

it's an absolute disaster. I always say, like,

I'm really happy I started working when I did about like 13, 14 years ago, because you mentioned

that Instagram was launched around then, but people weren't really aware of it the way they are now.
