With highlights from the first three episodes of the BBC Sounds series Tell It To Steve: Best Of Guests, which showcases the breadth and depth of the guests that Steve Wright has sat down with at the BBC, and includes newly recorded interviews to update their story.

There's archive material from across Steve’s career on BBC radio and television, and many of these interviews have never been aired again since their original broadcast. As well as replaying them, Steve also introduces, contextualises and shares memories of chatting with the guests.

The themes of the first 3 episodes are:
They Did Comedy First – celebrities who made their name by making us laugh, before going into other fields of entertainment.
They Made It In America – domestic stars who’ve created careers for themselves in the USA.
Number 1 In The 21st Century – artists whose music we’ve bought and streamed so much over the past two decades, that they topped the charts.

You’ll hear material that goes as far back as 1991, right up to newly recorded chats with guests Eddie Izzard, Sarah Millican and Jax Jones.

There's also excerpts of interviews with stars including Joan Rivers, Leona Lewis, Rihanna and Eric Idle, plus Amy Winehouse previewing her album Back To Black in 2006, and Thom Yorke and Ed O'Brien discussing Radiohead’s career in 2008. Show less
