Summary

Join Emily and Ray in London’s Victoria Park for a walk with the brilliant comedian Rhys James. Rhys is actually more of a cat man, but Raymond absolutely adored him nonetheless!

Rhys tells us about growing up in Harpenden, what it meant to be a small boy at school, how he feels about being liked and the limited circumstances under which he will accept compliments.

Rhys has written a brand new podcast - Dial F For Football: a comedy series that goes behind the scenes of the most popular fictional sport radio station in the country - Totalsport FM. It stars Lolly Adefope, Fergus Craig, Jessica Fostekew & Helen Cripps. You can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts!

The second part of our chat will be available on Thursday!
