Hello Friend

Hello Friend

Bethany Rutter

I read a memoir written by a friend last year, and as I was reading it I realised I wish all my friends wrote memoirs, not just the well-known ones. I know so many interesting people who have had interesting experiences or made interesting decisions, and I want a legitimate excuse to know all about them. So here is Hello Friend, a podcast that enables me to ask questions of the great people in my life and share their brilliance with the world. Or at least the listeners of this podcast.

Hello Friend - Episode 4: Jools Walker
play

06/07/17 • 44 min

In this episode, I talk to Jools Walker, aka VeloCity Girl. She blogs at velocitygirl.co.uk and describes herself as a cycle-style blogger, and while I thought I wanted to talk to her about cycling (because it terrifies me), what I really wanted to hear about was making your way in an industry that doesn't represent you. Here, Jools talks often about how she still suffers from impostor syndrome as a black woman in the cycling world, even though she's considered an expert in her field. We also discuss her other great love: the jewellery brand Tatty Devine.

Hello Friend - Episode 5: Sofie Hagen

In this episode I talk to comedian Sofie Hagen because she's someone I like a lot, and appearing on her podcast was at least partly the inspiration behind starting a podcast of my own.

We discuss her past misdeeds, and misdeeds done against her by people in the standup world, bad fatphobic jokes, people she thinks are funny and her passion for Cujo the dog.
