Time for another trip to the cellar for something vintage. This episode of White Wine Question Time was originally recorded in 2021 - when the world was in lockdown. Dannii was in Melbourne having moved back from London several years earlier. The conversation takes in memories of living in the UK, motherhood, advice for the next generation and also Dannii's revelation when it comes to clothes sizing. It's a really lovely chat, which although recorded at a very strange time still seems extremely relevant today. This is an abridged version of the original conversation - you can find the original in our back catalogue. Don't forget we'll bring you a highlight from almost 500 episodes of White Wine Question Time every Tuesday and a brand new guest every Thursday. While you're here... please don't forget to 'follow' this podcast - it means you'll get new episodes sent directly to your podcast app when they're released - it's completely free, but it helps the podcast greatly. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Supervet Noel Fitzpatrick on learning to trust, and being saved by music.
We're back and joining us on this episode is the nation's favourite vet - Noel Fitzpatrick. Not content with being one of the world's most respected veterinary surgeons Noel is equally at home on a stage touring his one-man show, in front of the camera (he's played parts in The Bill, Casualty and is the star of the long-running Supervet series) or promoting his many books. His latest release is a children's book 'Over the Rainbow Bridge' which deals with the sadness a child feels when they lose their beloved family pet, and finding joy afterwards. Finding joy is a theme Noel brings up several times in our conversation, which also touches on how comic books inspired his love of medicine, how Brian May came to teach Noel how to play guitar and why Noel went years without knowing what happened at the end of Rocky! It's a fascinating story, told by an exceptional man. From his midnight gym routine to how an ice-cream scoop inspired a hip replacement technique this is a gripping conversation. So grab a drink and join us. Thank you for listening - we hope you enjoy the new episodes, and if you do please take the time to rate and review us.

Something from the Cellar: Kelly Cates
Two women are about to make broadcasting history when they become the first female full time hosts of Match of the Day, the storied football highlights program on the BBC. And we just happened to speak to them at the start of this year, so now feels like a perfect time to revisit one of those amazing conversations with two sports broadcasting trailblazers. It's Kelly Cates! We spoke recently to Kelly about her excitement — and nerves! — about taking on her biggest role yet and how she’s preparing for the challenge. Beyond the pitch, she also dives into family life and opens up about juggling a high-profile career with single motherhood and the realities of raising teenage daughters. Honestly, it's amazing how she fits this all into her life - what a woman! ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.
