Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

Ed Gamble (Part Two)

Emily and Raymond are in Walthamstow this week with the comedian Ed Gamble! 


Ed has been podcasting since 2006 - so he’s a real OG! We chat to him about the huge success of his podcast Off Menu. Is he the McCartney to James Acaster’s Lennon? And how does he feel about Emily's starter, main and dessert choice?


We also chat about Ed’s proposal, how he feels about staying up late and his attitude towards small plates. 


Get your tickets for Ed’s 2024 tour Hot Diggity Dog at https://edgamble.co.uk/ 


Listen to Off Menu with Ed Gamble and James Acaster wherever you get your podcasts! 


Ed’s brilliant book Glutton is available in paperback and audiobook now - and we highly recommend it!

    Join Emily and Raymond in Kew with one of the nation’s most respected news presenters - Krishnan Guru-Murphy. Krishnan is a journalist and the lead presenter of Channel 4 News - and we were thrilled to meet him and his chihuahua - Chubby Chops! Chubby is very sweet boy with a very self sufficient and independent spirit… he and Ray didn’t exactly hit it off - but that’s what you get when you put two introvert dogs together! We had such a fascinating walk with Krishnan - finding out all about his childhood in a medical family - and how his passion for performing led him away from following in his father’s footsteps to become a doctor. There are so many interesting facets to Krishnan - and we found out that there is a lot more to him than just being the king of news… You can watch Ways To Change the World on YouTube here - or you can find it on all podcast platforms.Follow @krishgm on InstagramSee more of Krishnan’s work on Channel 4 News hereFollow Emily: Instagram - @emilyrebeccadeanX - @divine_miss_emWalking The Dog is produced by Faye LawrenceMusic: Rich Jarman Artwork: Alice LudlamPhotography: Karla Gowlett
