Our founder Vic is currently working with Hit Radio presenter and chart-topping singer Fleur East’s ‘The Reality of Reality TV’, on one of the biggest new podcasts of the year.

The podcast that launched earlier this month, offers no holds barred conversations with famous faces and fellow reality stars to uncover the truth behind some of our favourite TV shows.

The podcast is a production by Bauer Media, with Vic once again teaming up with her Pods Up North partner Kate Cocker, who is the Executive Producer for this ambitious 10-part series.

Fleur had the idea for the podcast because of the same questions she gets asked all the time about her reality TV experience – having been on the X Factor twice and then spending time in the I’m A Celebrity jungle.

Is it scripted? Did that really happen? What is real?

The series launched with Ru Paul’s Drag Race UK winner The Vivienne, and is released every Tuesday. The series will go onto feature more the of the biggest names from across one of the most popular tv show formats in the world, including Alison Hammond, Harry Redknapp, the winner of Love Island 2019 Amber Gill and Vicky Pattison.

This unique interview series leaves no stone unturned as we explore their best, worst and favorite moments from addiction, trolls and racism, to lasting friendships, career defending moments and happy ever afters.

Our latest podcast production showcases the innovative, multi-agency approach of Stockport’s Domestic Abuse Partnership’s projects that support children affected by domestic abuse.

The 6-part series was commissioned by Stockport Metropolitan Council, and we recorded it live from the 2020 Children Affected by Domestic Abuse Conference.

Listen to the first episode here

What’s it about then?

The podcast is a fantastic educational resource, that shares Stockport’s learning and positive outcomes from a series of domestic abuse intervention and prevention projects across the city. This includes their innovative work in hospitals, schools and training. Each episode is a bite-size case study of this work.

The aim of the Supporting Children Affected by Domestic Abuse podcast is to inform and inspire similar projects across the UK and beyond. We think this is a such a powerful example of how podcasts can be used to spread positive social impact, with the potential for further international effect.
