These include Friends Will Be Friends, a BBC Sounds and Radio 2 podcast hosted by Cat Deeley and Edith Bowman; Built To Thrive with Dr Rangan Chatterjee; andLove Island: The Morning After podcast with Sam Thompson and Indiyah Polack. The latter show requires its producers to watch the show live at 9pm, record with hosts and turn it around for the following morning, often finishing at 3am. For Built to Thrive, Arundell has grown the audience and secured billboard coverage, becoming one of the platform’s top-performing UK podcasts.
