Welcome to
This podcast was unplanned…
Two friends of mine, veterans of the music industry, created the band Bagawire and wanted to talk about their debut album. I had access to the equipment and the desire to give it a go. They were kind enough to let me try. I was amazed to find that, having known them and performed with them for years, there was so much about their lives and careers I didn’t know. I interviewed two more friends and, again, learned so much more about them. I have always been fascinated by people’s stories and journeys and I so enjoyed the interviews I decided to keep going. Each and every guest has led a fascinating life, talks through their highs, lows and pivotal moments, shares lessons they have learned. Some of my guests are rock stars, most are creatives, all are rock stars of life.
My qualification? I was a maths teacher, a management consultant, worked for the World Health Organisation, am now a mother of three, a backing singer in a band, an aspiring writer, a mentor to a young offender, a governor at Sussex House School, a trustee for Key4Life charity. So no relevant qualification aside from the fact that I love having these conversations and my hope is that you enjoy them too.
Guests to date include Damian Lewis, Lior Raz, Chris Difford, Sir Christopher Hampton, Kate Mosse & Michael Mosley. I’m thrilled that, in under 4 years, the podcast is ranked in the top 10% of podcasts globally, with over half a million connections through audio, video & social media & with our episodes reaching over 70 countries annually.
Thank you for taking the time to listen. - Katie Brewer, BWC Host.
