The MarshyCast

Welcome to another exciting episode of The MarshyCast! Before we dive into this week’s incredible line up, don’t forget you can catch me on the radio weekdays—Express FM from 10am and HGV1 Radio from 4pm. As we edge closer to Christmas, things are getting busier, so be sure to follow me on social media @PaulSwampyMarsh for all the latest updates!

Now, onto this week’s show…

First, TV presenter Denise Van Outen joins me alongside Michelle Rea from Talking Futures to discuss their new short film, which focuses on parents guiding their teens through important school decisions. We talk about how to strike the balance between stepping in to help and knowing when to step back and let your kids come to you.

Next, we celebrate a milestone—25 years of The Lion King on stage! I’m joined by Merryl Ansah, who plays Nala, and Thenjiwe Nofemele, who stars as Rafiki. We chat about what it takes to bring the magic of The Lion King to life night after night, the honour of being part of this iconic show, and how this beloved story first came into their lives.

Thank you so much for reading and listening! We’ll be back next week with another packed episode, so don’t forget to like, share, and subscribe!
