 🎙️ The MarshyCast – Episode 101 (Back to “Normal”… Whatever That Means!) 

Well… now the dust has settled after the madness of the big 100th episode, it’s back to “normal” at The MarshyCast — if normal means another load of brilliant guests! 

As we head into December, things always get incredibly busy. Don’t panic if you miss an episode or two — we’ll be taking a little break over Christmas, which is the perfect excuse to catch up. And as always, there are loads of Portsmouth-based interviews waiting for you on the Express FM website, plus you can catch me live on Express FM weekdays from 10am and HGV1 Radio from 4pm. 

So… welcome to Podcast 101 — let’s go! 

📺 Nick Knowles
TV presenter, DIY king, and all-round telly legend. We talk household hacks passed down through generations, what it’s really like doing reality TV after I’m A Celebrity and Strictly, and — somehow — we also end up discussing AI-generated music, which absolutely was not on my interview bingo card. 

🎤 Natasha Hamilton (Atomic Kitten)
We talk about the “Grinch Pinch” — why some towns are scaling back festive decorations and how that affects our Christmas spirit. Natasha also opens up about being part of the Girlbands Forever documentary and the joy (and chaos) of passing parenting wisdom down to the next generation. 

🤠 Brian Collins – Country Music singer
We chat about juggling life as both an artist and a producer for others, the success of his last two singles, what Christmas and Thanksgiving look like for him… and what’s coming in 2026 (spoiler: he’s coming back to the UK 🇬🇧). 

I’ve got more jam-packed episodes of The MarshyCast coming over the next few weeks, so as always — thank you for your support. It genuinely means the world to me. 💙
