Ladies and gentlemen, je vous présente… actor, podcast host and figure of some controversy, Armie Hammer. Armie was coming off a garlanded role in indie hit Call Me By Your Name when allegations of predatory sexual behaviour (which Armie denies) derailed his career. He joined me for a conversation that covered public shaming, metoo, cannibalism, and being the scion of a Succession-like political dynasty. Please join on Spotify!

It was a huge pleasure to speak to UFC legend Leon “Rocky” Edwards, world champion fighter, survivor of a not-always-easy childhood in Jamaica and Birmingham, and the man whose iconic headkick against Kamaru Usman launched a thousand memes (specifically the one of Joe Rogan looking very shocked). We discussed Dana White, Trump, life growing up, and (implicitly) whether or not I could take him in a fight. Watch it now on Spotify!

Hold on to your spatulas. It’s only Jamie Flipping Oliver on the pod. The biggest cook in the world. Author, style icon, family man, TV legend. Need I say more? Serve with fresh chopped coriander and some grated Parmesan. Listen or watch on Spotify! @jamieoliver

Brilliant chat on #TheLouisTherouxPodcast with Jade Thirlwall, formerly of Little Mix and now a full fledged solo artist. We talked about The X Factor, internet trolling, and being trolled by an elder statesman of Brit Pop. So come and get it - while you’ve still got time!

The phenomenal Willem Defoe sat down and talked with me on #thelouistherouxpodcast about his life, his work - and how it is that he’s never worked with Woody Allen. You can find the full episode on Spotify!

Hold onto your headphones and try to remain calm - it's ONLY another toothsome serving of free-ranging conversation from incredible guests across the worlds of acting, music, and elsewhere. If these clips whet your appetite, then be sure to "tuck into" out latest LTP episodes, which start dropping Jan 14. It's almost as though the weirder and more thread-bare my hair gets the better the shows - like I've made a pact with God!? (No disrespect to my previous guests.) So please join - Jan 14. 🙏🙏🙏👴

A reminder that Houellebecq predicted Bayrou ascendancy years ago in his novel Submission.

I just donated to Nordoff and Robbins, the UK's largest music therapy charity! I'm helping to create a future where music therapy is available to everyone who needs it. Can you help, too? 💜

This year I had the privilege of meeting @tony_mortimer of East17 and learning about his amazing work with Nordoff & Robbins raising money for music therapy. Tomorrow (dec 10) he is performing (with others) at a carol service charity fundraiser.

Not having that. Nigel Berkshire was a great guest.
Can you please return to the U.S. with a small crew and recommence interviewing random weirdos with disarming and often hilarious questions? The podcast is great but it’s almost entirely English people (“Nigel Berkshire joins me to discuss taking the mickey with the lads on the lift”). Time to get back here for a bit and check out our freaks.

Pause game! I have an announcement! I have launched my very own “official” (redundant quote marks, because it is actually official!) YouTube Channel where you can find all kinds of LT video content bits. Old clips from shows, podcast bits, etc. Please check it out. Unpause game!
