Michelle McManus talks to Miquita Oliver about her new podcast Miss Me? with Lily Allen

Michelle is joined by comedian Ashley Storrie & writer Chris Carse Wilson to review The Assembly, a new BBC show which sees Michael Sheen being interviewed for Autism Acceptance Week

Miquita Oliver joins Michelle to talk about Miss Me? The new BBC Sounds podcast she co-hosts with her longtime friend Lily Allen. They also discuss the highs and lows of her career since she rose to fame on T4 with Simon Amstell, and her brilliant on-screen relationship with her mum Andi Oliver.

As part of World Autism Acceptance Week we ask two neurodiverse reviewers – comedian Ashley Storrie and author Chris Carse Wilson – to review Michael Sheen’s boundary-pushing TV interview The Assembly – in which he faces an unrestricted grilling from 35 neurodiverse interviewees. They also share recommendations of content, books, music or TV shows that really impacted them.
 
BBC Radio 4 regular and co-creator of The Royle Family Henry Normal and internet sensation Brian Bilston have announced a brand new Scottish tour together for 2024 where they will both share their own unique poetic takes on the world in front of an audience. They join Michelle to talk about their show, their new poetry collections, and what it is about poetry which people are relating to in the world of social media these days.

Michelle shines her weekly Spotlight on International award winning artist Stephanie Vandem who works out of her studio between the mountains and the sea in the Scottish countryside to create majestic oil paintings for private homes and public spaces.
