Desert Island Biscuits: Recent Episodes
Jonathan Booth
A relaxing podcast for your tea break or cocktail hour! I talk to interesting people about their life stories, and the biscuits they've enjoyed along the way. It's light hearted and escapist, packed full of nostalgia, humour and inspiration. Join me on my desert island, where the sun always shines, the kettle's always on and the bar's always open. What are YOUR favourite biscuits?
This is a very special lady with an amazing story to tell. She's a social and digital entrepreneur, honoured by The Queen; she co-founded the world's social network for business (long before LinkedIn), has mentored thousands of business people, and written a best selling book. An inspirational listen!
A pure Yorkshireman, Kev's been living in Florida for 30 years, becoming the face of Orlando for Brit tourists. Nobody knows more about all the magic, from Disney to Daytona Beach. His first job (back home) was in the biscuit trade, and he's loved them ever since. He's driven his family round 48 states in an RV, and is a brilliant guest - enjoy!
The electric Ms Rich! She’s one of the UK’s hardest working voiceover artists, but she was also the UK’s first punk band manager (Discharge, still going strong), and is one third of singing trio The Bellefleurs. Loves her life, loves her biscuits, and goes full tilt at everything. Fascinating lady!
A fabulous first guest! From Cliff Richard’s music director to leading TV theme and jingle writer (you’ll know them, and be able to sing them!), Dave’s seen it all and written the music for it! He talks with passion about music, touring all over the world, jingles and TV, and talks with greed about biscuits, from Custard Creams to Wagon Wheels. Top man, top listen!

Join me on the island for a brief summary of what Desert Island Biscuits is all about - although it pretty much does what it says on the biscuit tin! Sandals optional.
