  • Lovely but too many ads

    Emily is as chatty and charming as always. However 25 minutes of adverts for a 40 minute podcast is crazy.

    Discovered this podcast late so now have the luxury of being able to choose the one I fancy. Have listened to about 20 so far and they’ve all been great. Loved the one with Adrian Chiles and of course the one with Frank Skinner.

  • In Love

    This podcast has helped me so much with creative angst, I could get back to painting again. Emily is such an incredible, fun and gracious person who has a very radio phonic voice as well. I love listening to those unique conversations with her famous guests on the move, I get a vicarious joy of walking from Emily Dean’s podcast while I am currently stuck indoors under the AC in a desert climate. I am so grateful for this podcast has, my dog listens to it too.
