| NEW EPISODE: Samantha Janus | 05 Nov 2026 | 00:58:48 | |
It's Kate's sister from another Mister - Sam Janus! Sam & Kate have been friends for YEARS and in this beautiful catch-up they talk about being a famous woman in the 90s, families, cancer and Sam's motorhome. Samantha Janus was at Sylvia Young's legendary school or acting and dance in a class that included Nicole and Nat Appleton, Keeley Hawes and Emma Bunton. Kate's been friends with this collection of incredible women since the 90s and there are more than a few stories in this episode about this friendship group. There's a LOT to get through.

| LIVE EPISODE: Cruising with Harriet Scott, Heidi Range and Jenny Powell | 30 Oct 2026 | 00:40:30 | |
A very special episode this week! A couple of weeks ago we took White Wine Question Time to the high seas - on board an Ambassador Cruise to Amsterdam. In front of an audience of 750 passengers we went back to our original format of three friends, wine and three thought provoking questions. As part of our 500th episode celebrations we were thrilled to invite Heidi Range, who appeared in our very first podcast, back for a chat as well as Jenny Powell (also one of our OG's making her first appearance in episode #4) and debutant Harriet Scott from Magic Breakfast. It was such a success we're already planning more floating podcasts for 2027, and a massive thank you to Ambassador Cruise Line for sponsoring this episode. Here's to the next 500! Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: White Wine Legend Oz Clarke | 22 Oct 2026 | 00:43:10 | |
Without Oz Clarke there might not be a White Wine Question Time. Is possible we'd have called this podcast Gin & Tonic Question Time (Coming soon to a podcast platform near you!) It's absolutely fair to say that Oz, alongside Jilly Goolden, changed the we we drink. But wine tasting was a skill and hobby he'd developed at Oxford University and he was well on his way to becoming a West End Star when opportunity knocked on the 80s TV show 'Food & Drink' thanks to the television brain of Peter Bazelgette (who later went on to turn Big Brother into an enormous hit). This is a fascinating story, told by one of the great story-tellers. If EVER there was an episode to listen to with a glass of white wine THIS IS IT! Oz's new book A Vine is a Wild Thing is out now! Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Sir Derek Jacobi | 14 Oct 2026 | 00:44:57 | |
We're adding another national treasure to the White Wine Question Time collection - Sir Derek Jacobi. Ahead of his two-man show (he'll be sharing the stage with his husband of 48 years Richard Clifford) we caught up with the pair to talk about Derek's 60+ year career as an actor, their relationship, and the wonderful cast who've helped Derk on his incredible journey from the East End of London to some of the world's greatest stages. But there's one role he is still desperate to land... and it's quite the surprise! It's a fabulous chat - and if you'd like longer with Derek and Richard you can get tickets for their show here Cheers! xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Jake Humphrey | 08 Oct 2026 | 00:48:21 | |
By any measure Jake Humphrey is a High Performer - whether it's his highly accomplished career as a TV presenter, the TV Production company (Whisper) he co-owns with a turnover of £100m+, or the collection of podcasts under the 'High Performance' umbrella. But his story is much more fascinating than most media moguls. Several times he's walked away from the top tier jobs most presenters dream of to spend more quality time with his family. It's only when you chat to Jake that you get a real understanding of the man behind those decisions, who loves to take risks, but seems to win every time. It's a really lovely chat - with an extra special surprise at the end. Cheers! xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Billy Monger | 01 Oct 2026 | 00:46:49 | |
How can you NOT be inspired by Billy Monger. In his new book Billy is encouraging young people to find their drive, to challenge themselves and maximise their potential. All from a young man who became a double-amputee just before his 18th birthday, but thanks to his own incredible drive, as well as the love and support of those around was quickly back in a single-seater (he actually got his race licence back just ELEVEN weeks after the accident). His honesty about his accident and his incredible passion for life and adventure are infectious - you absolutely cannot listen to this interview and not feel a new lease of life. Let us know what think - follow us on social media @WhiteWine_QuestionTime or email us hello@whitewinepod.com Cheers! xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Rev. Richard Coles | 24 Sep 2026 | 00:44:12 | |
What a joy it is to have Reverend Richard Coles back on the podcast. His new book (a novella!) A Carol and a Killing is out now In this chat we talk about his extraordinarily high testosterone count, swearing at bus drivers and getting a dog. None of these were on our list of questions at the start of the conversation. Is that always the best way! Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Best Selling Author Jodi Picoult | 17 Sep 2026 | 00:45:37 | |
We're back! And back with a bang. My Sister's Keeper Small Great Things The Pact Nineteen Minutes These are just some of the massive best-sellers written by my guest in this episode, Jodi Picoult. If you haven't read her books - just consider this; In 2017 Jodi was named in the Top 10 Harvard alumni shaping the world. Some of the other names on the list... Jeff Bezos, Michelle Obama, Eric Schmidt (Then Google's CEO) and Robert Mueller (Director of the FBI). Her books fly off the shelves around the globe - she's sold over 60million copies of her novels. You can order her latest book Hollow Bones here And she's one of my favourite authors. I hope you enjoy this conversation - it's GREAT to be back. Cheers, xx Hosted on Acast.

| Have you missed us? WWQT Returns... | 10 Sep 2026 | 00:01:06 | |
How was your summer? Big news from WWQT - Kate has a dog - and he's called George Michael. We're so excited about this next run of conversations.

| #500 EPISODES: Amanda Holden, Angela Griffin & Nicola Stephenson (Ep#3) | 01 Sep 2026 | 00:29:37 | |
We've rewound all the way back to the beginning this week - and the first month of the podcast. The original billing read: "Kate Thornton poses three questions to three well-known faces over three glasses of wine. On this episode: Britain's Got Talent judge Amanda Holden, The Worst Witch star Nicola Stephenson and The Detail lead Angela Griffin" We will be BACK with brand new episodes after our summer break in a couple of weeks - watch out for that we're already lining-up some fabulous guests and planning something big for our 500th episode in early October. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Carol McGiffin & Lisa Maxwell (Ep#6) | 25 Aug 2026 | 00:32:46 | |
What's that you want one of the very first shows? How about episode 6 featuring Loose Women's Carol McGiffin & Lisa Maxwell. We're not joking there's a whole section about how to use the new technology of 'the internet' It's not long now until we return with brand new episodes - so if you haven't already make sure you 'follow' this pod to get the latest episodes downloaded automatically for free. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Lemn Sissay & Lisa Faulkner | 18 Aug 2026 | 00:44:55 | |
This is one of most beautiful and most emotional episodes we've ever made. It's actually from later in the first year of the podcast (October 2019) but we really wanted to play it again for you - here's how we described it at the time. Original billing for this episode: In one of our favourite episodes ever, Kate Thornton is joined by poet Lemn Sissay and actress Lisa Faulkner for a no-holds-barred discussion of foster care and adoption in the UK. Lemn and Lisa come from two vastly different experiences: Lemn was taken from his unwed mother and placed with a foster family who turned him out of their home when he was 12; Lisa adopted her daughter in 2006, and counts it as the best decision of her life. Listen for a moving lesson in love and belonging. We're working on new episodes of the podcast - and we'll be back with some more fabulous guests at the end of the summer. Cheers! x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Lisa Stansfield & Friends (Ep#12) | 11 Aug 2026 | 00:41:57 | |
Another trip down memory lane as we spend the Summer reliving some of our earliest episodes. The original billing of this episode read: Join Kate Thornton as she poses three questions to three well-known friends over three glasses of wine. On this episode, we’re joined by pop icon Lisa Stansfield (All Around The World). She has brought along her manager-turned-mate Rachel George, and barber-turned-bestie Lisa Eastwood for a discussion around friendship, feminism and IVF. So settle in and enjoy 40minutes (and maybe a glass of wine or two) in the company of a legend. Cheers, x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Josie Gibson & Malin Andersson (Ep#18) | 06 Aug 2026 | 00:47:29 | |
Welcome back to White Wine Question Time - and our summer of reflection. It's a while since we've listened to some of these episodes - and today's comes from friends Josie Gibson & Malin Andersson. We say friends - but their friendship had played out entirely through social media - what you're about to hear is actually the first time they'd met. When Malin lost her baby aged just one-month-old Josie took it upon herself to gather messages of support and kept Malin in a constant supply of videos. It's an act of kindness that sums up their supportive friendship. As you can imagine - some sections of this conversation were quite raw, and we discuss infant death, suicidal thoughts and and other potentially disturbing topics. But there is also light to balance the shade - and plenty of it - the final words of this episode might just be the best words ever spoken on the podcast. And bear in mind that this pod was recorded in 2018... there's one moment where Josie refers to social media as having been through its dark period and is getting generally more positive. We even predict that 'influencers' won't be a thing in five years time. Well... we can't always be right. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Tamzin Outhwaite, Louie Spence & Lucy Alexander (#Ep7) | 04 Aug 2026 | 00:46:07 | |
Ready for another deep cut? With our 500th episode fast approaching we're rewinding back to the very origins of the podcast - and today we've hit episode SEVEN. It's a good one - with three people who first met at drama college and have been friends ever since. This is how the episode was originally described: Join Kate Thornton as she poses three questions to three well-known friends over three glasses of wine. On this episode: Homes Under the Hammer alum Lucy Alexander joins Eastenders star and actress Tamzin Outhwaite and Pineapple Dance Studios star, Louie Spence. They discuss their shared history at drama school in the 80s, memorable auditions and their personal experiences with anxiety and panic attacks. Cheers! xx Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Denise Welsh & friends (Ep #4) | 30 Jul 2026 | 00:36:14 | |
Content warning: There is lots of honest discussion about mental health and mental illness is this episode - it's all first hand experience, but it might be a difficult listen for some. Another DEEP dive into the archive as we prepare for our 500th episode. Corrie veteran Denise Welch, No Limits original Jenny Powell, and Holby City star Angela Lonsdale talk sobriety, mental health, and romance. Denise is ALWAYS one of our favourite guests - and she's been around since ALMOST the first episode - this was her debut on the pod, but we're pretty sure she holds the record for the most appearances - and rightly so she is a FAB-U-LOUS woman. Hopefully MANY more Denise episodes to come in the next 500 conversations. Cheers, x Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Keith Lemon, Joe Swash & Chris Moyles (#Ep 8) | 28 Jul 2026 | 00:42:53 | |
Welcome to White Wine Question Time - and we're heading DEEP into the archive this Summer to revisit some of our very first episodes. Before we tell you about today's - we should mention it's DEFINITELY one for the adults only - this isn't an episode for a family car journey down to the coast! Because this was our first all-male episode - and the men in question were Keith Lemon (Leigh Francis), Joe Swash and Chris Moyles. We cover porn, women and Christmas lesbians. We did warn you. Most of the episode sounds like it was recorded yesterday - and then Joe says 'Stacey offers to pay with Apple Pay - which is only accepted in about 30% of shops' Sometimes it's the tiny details that anchor these episodes in space and time. So let's take a trip back to 2018 and episode 8 of White Wine Question Time. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: All Saints (Ep#5) | 23 Jul 2026 | 00:37:46 | |
We're fast approaching episode #500 so we're revisiting some of the very first episodes of White Wine Question Time. Next stop on our trip down memory lane is Episode #4 from February 2018 featuring three of All Saints - Nic Appleton, Mel Blatt and Shaznay Lewis We're listening to all of our original episodes at the moment and choosing the best ones to play for you - so if you have a favourite let us know! As you can hear the show has changed a lot over 500 episodes - but we'll be back with new guests, and maybe some more changes after the Summer. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| #500 EPISODES: Ep#1 Revisited | 21 Jul 2026 | 00:43:52 | |
Welcome to White Wine Question Time - the podcast that these days asks its guests three thought-provoking questions over three glasses of wine. BUT that wasn't always the case. Originally this podcast was conceived as three guests, and three BOTTLES of wine in every episode. So as we approach our 500th episode we thought it would be a good idea to go back to where it all began and pick out some of our favourite episodes from those early days. And they don't come any earlier than this episode... the OG, numero uno, the origin. Episode #1 - with Angela Griffin, Lisa Faulkner and Heidi Partakis (Range) It's actually extraordinary listening back to this episode that it could have been recorded last week, but in fact this was 2018 - FIVE Prime Ministers ago! We'll be back with something new at the end of the summer, but until then I hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane. Cheers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Natalie Cassidy on Hun Status and Life-Changing Calls | 16 Jul 2026 | 00:45:15 | |
Natalie Cassidy is having a moment - last month she appeared on stage at The Mighty Hoopla in a wedding dress playing the trumpet - a nod to her many years as Sonia Fowler in EastEnders. Her status as one of the younger huns is surely undeniable and she's now playing a leading role in Ricky Gervais' new animated project. Natalie's always honest, and in this chat she opens up about the people who've helped her on her way, and what the future holds. Alley Cats is an adult animated comedy created by Ricky Gervais, premiering on Netflix on August 7, 2026 Cheers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| Sam Neill - A Reflection on a Life Well Lived | 13 Jul 2026 | 00:58:13 | |
It was with great sadness that we heard the news on Monday that Sam Neill had died at the age of 78. Sam was a guest on White Wine Question Time last year - and so this week we're bringing you that conversation. He was full of enthusiasm, and such a great storyteller. We'll be pouring a glass and watching some Sam classics this weekend, and I hope you will be too. Rest in Peace Sam. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Fern Britton on empty nesting, Rivals and missed opportunites | 09 Jul 2026 | 00:48:29 | |
In the 8+ years of this pod we haven't invited many guests back for a second appearance - but we knew we had to make an exception for Fern Britton. Small screen royalty Fern is a TV pioneer and a woman we can ALL learn from. Now living in Cornwall, writing her incredibly successful novels and back on our screens with 'Inside the Vets' on ITV she shares her knowledge on coping with children leaving home, how to live without regret and how to deal with unwanted approaches in a restaurant (you'll want to hear this one!) She's always good company so I hope you enjoy this episode. Cheers Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| FROM THE CELLAR: Jack Dee | 07 Jul 2026 | 00:49:23 | |
We do like to ponder our selections from the cellar - and when we finished recording Seann Walsh we knew exactly who to pair his episode with - so please enjoy a bottle of the finest Jack Dee. Jack joined us back in 2024 to talk about what was then his new podcast with Seann 'For the Love of Dog' - a sort of canine 'Parenting Hell' The podcast's still going strong, and Seann was great last week - so what better time than to revisit a classic episode with the one and only, Jack Dee. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Seann Walsh's I'm A Celebrity insight. | 02 Jul 2026 | 00:54:32 | |
Seann Walsh doesn't want us to mention his tour merchandise in these show notes (you'll hear why) so instead here's his tour schedule. There's so much more to Seann than the headlines you've inevitably read, and it was great to sit down with him for a chat about parenting, perspective and why he's stopped selling his tour merch. We also got ALL the goss from THAT I'm A Celebrity final - what did go on during the ad breaks, and what's going on in the contestant's WhatsApp group? It's a lovely listen and you can hear ALL THREE questions in this episode. Cheers, Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| FROM THE CELLAR: Judy Murray | 30 Jun 2026 | 00:54:53 | |
Is the Wimbledon music playing constantly in your head this week? Do you smirk at the suggestion of 'new balls please'? Is Today at Wimbledon a must watch? If so you'll love what we've selected from our archive to bring you today. Judy Murray has been the matriarch of British tennis over the past decade - not just by virtue of bring mum to two of the greatest homegrown players to have ever the courts of SW19. Judy is a massive advocate of women's sport - and as you'll hear in this interview from a couple of years ago when she puts her mind to something she achieves it! This episode is best enjoyed with a small tub of strawberries & cream. About £2.50 if made at home, about £25 at you know where. Enjoy! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Naga Munchetty on Pain, Persistence & Medical Misogyny | 25 Jun 2026 | 00:32:51 | |
Naga Munchetty has been on our wish-list for a long time, and we're thrilled to have her as the guest on this episode. Her new book It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women’s Health Crisis (and How to Thrive Despite It) is out now and it's a strong recommend. It exposes the truth about how women seeking help with their health have been repeatedly failed, drawing on Naga's own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed. In this conversation Naga talks about her health battles, dealing with chronic pain, and how women can refuse to just 'settle' It's a fascinating chat - and as ever we'd love to hear from you - so let us know what you think. You can DM us or email hello@whitewinepod.com Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| FROM THE CELLAR: DJ Fat Tony | 23 Jun 2026 | 00:59:24 | |
Fancy a classic interview from our cellar? Well you're in the right place. A couple of years ago we spoke to DJ Fat Tony - who might not be a household name - but BOY has he seen and done it all, and by all, we mean ALL. It's an extraordinary, and often shocking story, so strap in! We'll be back with a brand new episode on Thursday. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| NEW EPISODE: Vicky Pattison on the women who saved her life | 17 Jun 2026 | 00:28:10 | |
This week it's a WELCOME BACK to Vicky Pattison - she's completing her hat-trick of episodes, and it's quite an emotional one. In this part we chat about the women who she credits as saving her life, her reflections on reality television and her approach to the haters. We always love having Vicky on the show - on every appearance she's shown us a more mature side to herself that was there all along, but for so many years she wasn't in charge of her own narrative. Well now she is and we're here for it. Part 2 will be out on Saturday as Weekend Wine Question Time - and make sure you come back for that - it's truly emotional as we talk motherhood. As ever - thanks for listening - hope you enjoy the episode. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Ben Shephard's For Skin, Empty Nesting & Being Fit at 50 | 11 Jun 2026 | 00:35:00 | |
WARNING: This episode contains mentions of Ben Shephard's For Skin. For the avoidance of ANY doubt - For Skin is the name of his new skincare brand (with Joel Dommett) but it's funny to say... and Kate says it A LOT in this episode. This is Ben's second appearance on the podcast and he's always welcome - fun fact - Kate named her son (Ben) after Ben Shephard - so as you can imagine - there's a lot of love between the two - and it makes for an exceptional conversation.

Hold onto your wine glasses, because this episode is a rollercoaster of mishaps, massive setbacks, and the true power of resilience. Andrea McLean spills the tea about her journey from a TV star to surviving financial ruin, and a really serious health scare, and emerging with a new, shameless vibe. It really is an incredible journey - so incredible that this is PART 1 of the story, and PART 2 will be out on Saturday. Grab a glass and get inspired!

| Ben Elton on The Beatles, Blackadder and the Burn of Criticism | 28 May 2026 | 00:43:38 | |
We need a legend alarm... if we had one - we'd be sounding it right now. Ben Elton is not just a comedy legend who helped redefine stand-up comedy. He's not just the brains behind one of the greatest TV comedies of all time. He's not just a prolific author whose books tackle subjects as diverse as TV talent competitions to Nazi Germany. He's all of these things and much more. In the first of two episodes (Ben will be back to answer one of YOUR questions on Saturday) we asked Ben about every thing from being inspired by The Beatles (specifically George Harrison) to drinking your own urine. Trust us, it's quite a story. Ben's book 'What Have I Done' is out now Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||
| FROM THE CELLAR: Sir Tony Robinson | 26 May 2026 | 00:39:32 | |
We have a cunning plan! Every week we dive into our archive of almost 500 episodes to bring you some gems from the past EIGHT years. Today - it's one of the great entertainers. Whether you first saw Tony as Baldrick in Blackadder, or as the passionate presenter of Time Team, or whether you read one of his (many) children's books Tony's been an ever-present on our screens for generations. As he launches a new book at the Hay Festival this week we thought it was a great time to revisit this episode from 2023. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. | |||

| Blur Drummer Dave Rowntree | 14 May 2026 | 00:30:49 | |
Joining us a couple of days after his 62nd Birthday is one of the icons of BritPop. As the drummer in Blur he had a front row seat for the 90s music scene, and thankfully he had the forethought to photograph a lot of it. Now collated into a book 'No One You Know' he's in a nostalgic mood, and in our conversation we reminisce on Smash Hits, life before camera-phones and that time Blur played the first gig on Mars... no really! It's a fascinating chat, and if Blur's music has played a part in your life - drop us a note to let us know what you thought of the episode - you can email hello@whitewinepod.com Cheers Hosted on Acast.
