Happy Tuesday (!!!) to you. A huge thank you to everyone tuning in today for EPISODE 12 of the QuaranTea Break Podcast. We’re coming to your ears a day later than usual this week – but it’s with a big guest, so I hope you can forgive us. Sitting down for a virtual natter is broadcaster and TV presenter JAKE HUMPHREY. I am absolutely dying to get into this one, because I think you’re going to love this episode a lot.
It’s such a positive chat, and it’s probably the most wide-ranging conversation we’ve ever had on the podcast. We talk about dealing with social media and turning it into a force for good. Jake opens up about Black Lives Matter and how the role of the footballer has changed. We, of course, talk about football in general (recorded just before Liverpool’s title win after Manchester City lost on BT Sport #YNWA!) and his thoughts about its return. We also talk about The High Performance Podcast, with some exclusives about his guests for series 2. And loads more – this conversation goes to so many interesting places. It’s a longer tea break than usual, but I hope you’ll agree, it’s so worth it.
We also chat EXCLUSIVELY for the first time ever about his new venture in planet-positive glasses and sunglasses Coral Eyewear. Launched by young entrepreneur George Bailey, like the best ideas, it’s unique, brilliant and slap-yourself-in-face-why-aren’t-we-doing-this already. If you want to support this beautiful idea, Coral Eyewear’s Kickstarter is now live with some great rewards. Head here right now and support this incredible new brand: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/coraleyewear/712744014?ref=334sbv&token=dc4d3d07
As always, please subscribe and continue to recommend this podcast to your friends, family or newly formed social bubbles and spread the word in playgrounds or parks from two metres. And if you’ve enjoyed the podcast, please drop a review and a star rating. Like this week, I’ll read out my favourites in a future podcast.
If you'd like to support this podcast, why not buy me a coffee (or preferably, a tea): https://ko-fi.com/quaranteabreak. You can also follow @QuaranTeaBreak on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook.
See you very soon, and whether you stay indoors or venture out, please be kind.

Ep 11: Dane Baptiste – talking BBC Three’s Sunny D, keeping momentum with Black Lives Matter and being in awe of Marcus Rashford
HELLO, and welcome to EPISODE 11. Thanks for coming on board. Today’s brilliant guest is stand-up comedian, writer and actor DANE BAPTISTE. You’ll know Dane – the first black British act to be nominated for a Comedy Award at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival – from Live At The Apollo, Mock The Week, 8 Out Of 10 Cats Does Countdown and his incredible sitcom Sunny D. I was so delighted Dane joined us for this episode.
I really loved our conversation. As always, we had an honest chat about lockdown life and what that has meant for him (for Dane, he was about to embark on his stand-up tour, Dane Baptise: The Chocolate Chip, which has now been postponed until next year – you can pre-order tickets here: https://danebaptiste.co.uk). Dane spoke about his experiences around the recent conversation about British TV comedy in light of Black Lives Matter, plus his sitcom Sunny D returning to BBC iPlayer. We also talked about how we keep the momentum around the Black Lives Matter movement, and whether he’s optimistic about change.
We also gassed on about his exceptional podcast, Dane Baptise Questions Everything, which I love so much. Like this podcast, you’ll find it in all your usual pod places.
As always, please, please, please subscribe and continue to recommend this podcast to your friends, family or newly formed social bubbles, and spread the word in playgrounds or parks from two metres. And if you’ve enjoyed the podcast, please drop a review and a star rating. I’ll read out my favourites in a future podcast. Plus, any review always makes my day.

Hey TQBP listeners! I really hope you’ve enjoyed the first 12 episodes of the podcast so far – the feedback you’ve given us since the start has been incredible.
Anyway, just popping in for a quick service announcement/out of office. We’ve very excited about a brand new run of episodes coming soon, and some of the guests we’ve got lined up soon are quite incredible. So please don’t go anywhere (literally – it’s much safer that way).
