    Katherine Ryan (Part One)

    Katherine Ryan (Part One)

    This week on Walking The Dog, it's the one-and-only Katherine Ryan! We met Katherine in a location in Hertfordshire that was far too muddy for someone as glamorous as she... although Katherine dealt with it VERY well.... much better than Raymond. Katherine caught us up with her three dogs: Manny, Meg and new addition Cardi B - and they are all absolutely adorable!
    After encountering a few hurdles with the locals and the mud, Katherine tells us all about the games she played with her sisters growing up, what it was like to be interviewed by Louis Theroux and whether she really does tell everybody everything.
    The second part of our walk will be available on Thursday!

    The brilliant stand-up comedian Angela Barnes joins Emily and Raymond for this week’s episode of Walking The Dog! Angela may think she’s a pessimist, but she certainly brightened our day…
    We met in Brighton’s Stanmer Park and Angela tells us all about how she was inspired by her dad (who ran a sex shop, if you didn’t know…) to start her comedy career, how important it is to remember your good fortune and what it’s like to compare careers with her peers.

Five stars

So thrilled this podcast is back .. thank you Goalhanger. As an ex-pat Londoner who has never had a dog but soon to get a service animal due to visual disability this podcast is great for figuring out like with a dog … and it also makes me cough a lung out laughing

Just read the book ,

God is this woman twee and sad

She defeats even the great talkers

Marey two ,

I love this podcast

Wonderful conversation, wonderful insight with the added benefit of a tiny bit of dog talk. The presenter is so tuned in - allows guests to talk or not talk however it works. Loved her interaction with Anthony Horowitz- I thought he was going to be a bit rude at first but she drew him out and we learned about his anxiety, even about cleaning the house in preparation for her visit. I love it. It puts me in a great mood and transports me outside for a walk with a dog (I don’t actually have a dog, but may some day and now, I am prepared). Great work! Thank you!
