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?
