Expect stories from the newsroom, behind-the-scenes insights into the art of negotiation, and a few surprising revelations that might just make you look at the world of television very differently.

So grab your favourite drink, get comfortable, and join us for a fascinating conversation with the woman who has spent a career persuading some of the world's most powerful people to say "yes." 🎧 Listen now and find out why Sam's stories are every bit as captivating as the headlines she helped create. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Birthdays, Beagles and Royal Bombshells

🎉 Another Year Older, Still Trying To Be Slinky By Tuesday! 🎉 This week in the Trinderverse, Katie and Lucy are celebrating birthdays, (well Lucy is and Katie is helping), surviving the weekly weigh-in, and trying out the local sound bath. There’s plenty of birthday chat, the usual Slinky By Tuesday progress report and excitement as we look ahead to our upcoming event with the brilliant Sam McAlister, the woman behind THAT interview with Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor. Of course, no episode would be complete without an update from the furry members of the family, including the crowning of this week's highly prestigious, internationally recognised* Dog of the Week. (*Recognition currently limited to this podcast.) Expect laughs, oversharing, questionable life choices, canine chaos and two sisters doing their best to become Slinky By Tuesday whilst being repeatedly distracted by snacks, dogs and shiny things. Pop the kettle on, grab a hot lemon water (or a Malbec – we don't judge) and join us for another episode of Slinky By Tuesday. 🐶 Dog of the Week. 🎂 Birthday celebrations. ⚖️ Weekly weigh-in. 🎤 Sam McAlister excitement. 🤣 General Trinder nonsense. New episode available now! ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
