The details will blow your mind. Sam McAlister produced the show for years and was able to convince guests to give interviews when no-one else could. In her new book 'Scoops', she takes us behind the scenes of various interviews including Julian Assange, Steven Seagal and Amy Schumer. It's a fascinating inside account of how she manages to secure the biggest guests as well as honesty about the mistakes made along the way. The years spent trying to convince Prince Andrew to do the show, the meetings she had with him before, the experience of being in that room as the interview unfolds and then his reaction afterwards will all astound you.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Buy Sam's book 'Scoops' here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scoops-Behind-Scenes-Shocking-Interviews/dp/0861544404/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3AU16NUDYA3FA&amp;keywords=9780861544400&amp;qid=1642179379&amp;sprefix=9780861544400,aps,62&amp;sr=8-1\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.amazon.co.uk/Scoops-Behind-Scenes-Shocking-Interviews/dp/0861544404/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3AU16NUDYA3FA&amp;keywords=9780861544400&amp;qid=1642179379&amp;sprefix=9780861544400,aps,62&amp;sr=8-1</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Follow Sam on Twitter: @SamMcAlister1</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Buy tickets to The Political Party, live at The Duchess Theatre including the next show with&nbsp;<strong>ALAN JOHNSON&nbsp;</strong>on<strong>&nbsp;Monday 25 July</strong>&nbsp;here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.nimaxtheatres.com%2Fshows%2Fthe-political-party-with-matt-forde%2F&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7Ce4d7ca8b2cb547c140fc08da0c1b4d42%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637835608635502255%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=YmMtJaVKvb%2BTE%2Bsdm%2Fb03MdgC5wE%2FIZ1rBsxNn8o%2BHI%3D&amp;reserved=0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.nimaxtheatres.com/shows/the-political-party-with-matt-forde</a></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;</p><p>Buy tickets&nbsp;to&nbsp;Matt's brand new stand-up show&nbsp;<strong>Clowns&nbsp;To&nbsp;The&nbsp;Left&nbsp;Of Me, Jokers&nbsp;to&nbsp;the&nbsp;Right&nbsp;</strong>at&nbsp;<strong>The Edinburgh Festival</strong>&nbsp;here:&nbsp;<a href=\"https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.mattforde.com%2F2022tour&amp;data=04%7C01%7C%7Ce4d7ca8b2cb547c140fc08da0c1b4d42%7C84df9e7fe9f640afb435aaaaaaaaaaaa%7C1%7C0%7C637835608635502255%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000&amp;sdata=ZcjR8LoDlS9zVE%2BW3KknqCpFOX8pPIm3BAC6DlmtWng%3D&amp;reserved=0\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">https://www.mattforde.com/2022tour</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><u>Forthcoming guests at The Political Party include:</u></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>25 July:&nbsp;<strong>Alan Johnson</strong></p><p>7 Aug:<strong> Gordon Brown</strong></p><p>15 Aug:<strong> Anas Sarwar</strong></p><p>22 Aug:<strong> Joanna Cherry</strong></p><p>17 Oct:&nbsp;<strong>Matt Hancock</strong></p><p>5 Dec:<strong> Rachel Reeves</strong></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Email the show:&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">politicalpartypodcast@gmail.com</a></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Follow Matt on Twitter: @mattforde</p><p>&nbsp;</p>","author_name":"Avalon "}
