Josh Smith's Great Chat Show

Josh Smith's Great Chat Show

Josh Smith’s Great Chat Show is a podcast built on one simple belief: connection comes first. After decades as a journalist, Josh Smith has sat down with some of the world’s most recognisable faces - from Jennifer Aniston to Timothée Chalamet - and one thing has become clear: great conversations don’t just happen. There’s an art and a science to a great chat - and when you understand it, a whole world of connection opens up. Each episode is a warm, inviting sanctuary where actors, artists, athletes, and politicians drop their guard and genuinely open up - creating space for laughter, honesty, and the kind of moments that spark conversations in your own life. Because when connection comes first… everything else follows. Alright then - fancy a chat?

    Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same.

This season unpacks Saskia’s discovery of her husband’s secret life and her fight to bring him to justice. Along the way, we expose a crime that is just coming to light. This is also a story about the myth of the “perfect victim:” who gets believed, who gets doubted, and why. We follow Saskia as she works to reclaim her body, her voice, and her life.
