Comedian and broadcaster Samantha Baines has launched a new podcast about divorce.
The first guest guest is comedian Sarah Millican and the episode is released on Wednesday, 29th April 2020
Samantha Baines (The Crown, Magic Mike Live London, Call the Midwife) recently got divorced, but don’t worry she is okay, if anything she is great! Now, Samantha is on a mission to discover how other people managed the weird and wonderful world of paperwork, tears, freedom, sex with strangers, and listing your ex's belongings on eBay in this upbeat interview show. Whether you are part of The Divorce Club or not this is a fun, informative and touching look at how 42% of marriages end!
Light-hearted yet penetrative interview show, tackling a taboo subject. It is time we talked about divorce. A podcast for the divorced, soon to be divorced and the plain curious.
Samantha says on the launch of the podcast: “I was born to share intimate details about my personal life with everyone and I hope these chats might help people going through the whirlwind that is divorce.”
In the first episode Sarah Millican explains that her divorce is the reason she is a stand up comic today. She discusses confidence issues throughout her life with Sam, living with your parents at age 29 and losing everything. She also dishes out great advice, like changing your exes name on your phone to “the arse” so every time they message you giggle instead of sobbing.
Other guests in the series include Helen Lederer, Shappi Khorsandi, Carl Donnelly, Leyla Hussain, Ella Kenion and more. Episodes are released every Wednesday.
Baines is an ambassador for Action on Hearing Loss and the British Tinnitus Association and wears a hearing aid on stage, often making it a part of her stand-up comedy and broadcast work.
