It's back! Can you believe it? Not only that for a FOURTH series, I certainly would never have thought that my crazy little project would go on for this long.
You can also listen to the chat on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
To start off this new series, I am incredibly proud to present a chat with someone who I watched a lot during my kids TV watching years and is also someone I have been requested to interview A LOT over the last few years, first episode of the new series I am chatting with Michael Underwood.
In this mega 90 minute edition we discuss Michael's career in children's television at length but Michael had a pre-fame appearance on TV. He was one of the lucky six contestants who took part in the first Christmas special of The Crystal Maze in 1990. Naturally seeing as I am a big fan of that show we talk about that first.
We then chat about Michael's path to CBBC presenting through the Saturday night talent show Whatever You Want where Michael won a six week contract to present the continuity links. In the end Michael ended up doing 3 years with CBBC and also presenting the make and do show The Make Shift.
Michael then jumped to CITV (which is explained in the chat) where he got the chance to present a wide range of really great shows such as Eliminator, The Big Bang, Ministry of Mayhem and of course the excellent Jungle Run which we discuss at length. Over 25 minutes of this chat is Jungle Run talk alone!
In 2010 Michael married fellow CBBC presenter Angelica Bell. These days Michael has decided to step down from TV presenting for the foreseeable future and is now a primary school teacher. He also hosts a radio show on Virgin Radio, you can follow him on Twitter.
