ROSEBUD
Launched in September 2023, “Rosebud” is a British Podcast Awards nominated, multi-million download podcast in which writer, broadcaster, ex-MP and TV star Gyles Brandreth talks to famous and fascinating people about their first memories and first experiences. From Dame Judi Dench to Sir Keir Starmer, from ABBA’s Bjorn Ulvaeous to the Astronomer Royal, from Lulu and Twiggy to David Mitchell and Eddie Izzard, they’re all here.
Expect laughter, nostalgia, memorable stories, revelations and, of course, the odd name-drop from Gyles.
We want to hear about your first memories - email us at hello@rosebudpodcast.com

Commonwealth poetry podcast
Join Gyles Brandreth, Royal Commonwealth Society Ambassador, and Aphra Brandreth MP as they celebrate poetry and the Commonwealth with people from across the Commonwealth.
In each fortnightly episode Gyles and Aphra visit a different Commonwealth country. And when they get there they talk about poetry with someone from that country who cares about poetry, knows about poetry, often writes their own poetry. And they share with us two or three of their favourite poems.
Something Rhymes With Purple
“For five years Susie Dent and I have been presenting a weekly podcast all about words and language. We are proud to say it’s an award-winning podcast and there are hundreds of episodes available for you to enjoy.”
A note from Gyles: “We are not podcasting together at the moment, but you will find us popping up on stage soon to share our love of words with live audiences. Watch this space!
”PS: Today I think GONGOOZLE is my favourite word. Or APRICITY. Or YEX.”
