Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Matthew Crosby and the Satanic Cult
Q: If you were sent back, what one modern-day object would you take with you to assist you?
I'd take a fidget spinner, because I feel like it wouldn't seem like I was into any kind of witchcraft going on.
Matthew Crosby and the Satanic Cult
Q: If you could party with anyone from the past, who would it be?
I'd probably want to travel only about 50-ish years, back to Laurel Canyon in the 70s, possibly New York in the late 70s.
Matthew Crosby and the Satanic Cult
Q: Have you ever time traveled before?
No, I've had deja vu quite severely, and I just worked on the last series of Blankety Blank, which feels like stepping into the telly of the past.
‘Lady Claudius’ vs Robin Hood (ft Heidi Regan)
Q: So where can people find out more about you? Where can they see you?
I'm doing a week's work in progress in Edinburgh this year and you can find me on Instagram, TikTok, and Twitter at Heidi underscore Regan.
Pheasants & Phlatulence. The best drama. Period. (ft Kim and Alice from Fetch the Smelling Salts)
Q: Would you have used Fifi the Flatulent Pug to your advantage?
Intervening with Fifi to attract attention away from potential scandals was a clever tactic.
