Welcome to 2025 and the First Episode of The MarshyCast! 🎉

Hello and Happy New Year! After a well-deserved festive break, I’m back to doing what I love—chatting with incredible people and sharing their stories with you. As always, don’t forget you can catch me live weekdays on Express FM from 10am and HGV1 Radio from 4pm. Now, let’s dive into the first episode of 2025!

🎙️ Montell Douglas (aka Fire from Gladiators)
Montell, an Olympian, Gladiator, and Strictly 2024 contestant, shares what it’s like working with the other Gladiators and how they’ve bonded off-set. We tackle her impressive list of achievements with an impossible question: which one is her proudest? Plus, she reveals her ambitious goals for 2025, including “brain gains” by learning a new language!

🎙️ First Time Flyers (UK Country Band)
This dynamic group has just released their latest single, Out of Your Mind. We discuss their unique journey from solo artists to a cohesive band, their creative process as songwriters, their exciting plans for a 2025 tour, and the hilarious social media antics that keep their fans laughing.

🎙️ Angela Rippon (Broadcasting Royalty)
At 80 years young, Angela reflects on her incredible life, including her inspiring stint on Strictly Come Dancing. We also delve into a serious topic—dementia—and discuss the importance of recognising early signs, which are often mistaken for normal aging.

Thank you, as always, for reading, listening, and supporting The MarshyCast! Don’t forget to follow me on social media for all the latest updates, tune into my radio shows, and most importantly, wrap up warm—it’s going to be a great year ahead. Welcome to 2025! 🎉
