Money's No Object #7: Jeremy Lee (Quo Vadis)

Money's No Object #8: Róisín Lanigan

Episode eight: we are rounding things off with one of our own. Róisín Lanigan is Irish, that much is for certain. A journalist and author, she writes deftly across a myriad of topics, including Ulstermen in Benidorm, Hibernophilia, being a young divorcée and much more. Her debut novel, I Want to Go Home But I’m Already There is a haunting and darkly funny account of the London rental market. You can, and should, purchase a copy [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Want-Home-But-Already-There/dp/0241668530] of it here. Alongside our intrepid host, Joe Bishop, she talks about everything from the pointlessness of space travel to creating a new House of Lords (a cool one, naturally). * Creator and Host: Joe Bishop Exec.

Money's No Object #7: Jeremy Lee (Quo Vadis)

Episode seven: Jeremy Lee MBE is the chef proprietor of the legendary Quo Vadis, and has been at the pass of a great many iconic restaurants in the capital, including a head chef spot at Terence Conran’s Blueprint Cafe. In today’s episode, Jeremy walks us through his dream kitchen, his desires on the trans-Siberian railway, and the brass neck of the Palace to not even serve so much as a cup of tea when receiving an MBE. One of the great raconteurs, Jeremy’s book, Cooking: Simply and Well, for One or Many is a must-have [https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cooking-Simply-Well-One-Many/dp/0008156204] for any kitchen. * Creator and Host: Joe Bishop Exec.

Money's No Object #6: Chris Floyd

Episode six: Chris Floyd is one of the most famous photographers working in Britain today: he’s shot everyone from Debbie Harry to David Bowie, and he’s the person the Times calls when they need to get a photo of Keir Starmer looking normal [https://www.chrisfloyd.com/portfolio/sir-keir-starmer/]. Chris made his name in the 1990s, when he took some photos [https://www.instagram.com/p/C-iGkritxpe/?hl=en&img_index=6] of an up-and-coming band of local musicians outside Maine Road stadium. In one of our naughtiest outings so far, Chris dishes the dirt on Guy Ritchie and James Corden and other irksome celebrities he has had the displeasure of working with.

Money's No Object #5: Hannah Crosbie (Guardian)

Episode five: the Guardian’s new wine critic, Hannah Crosbie. Over the past five years, Hannah has set the staid world of wine writing alight, subbing in for Jancis Robinson at the FT, being profiled in Vogue, appearing regularly on Sunday Brunch and releasing the bestselling Corker – a ‘deeply unserious wine book’, in her own words – last year. Heroically battling an eight or nine out of 10 hangover to sit in the Money’s No Object hotseat, Crosbie chats to host Joe Bishop about stinking vintages, old money confidence and why, even with millions, a one bed flat is more than enough (we heartily disagree).

Money's No Object #4: Dean Kissick

Episode four: Dean Kissick. Dean is one of the most interesting and thoughtful cultural critics working today, and is the author of one of the most talked-about pieces of 2024 [https://harpers.org/archive/2024/12/the-painted-protest-dean-kissick-contemporary-art/], an essay unpicking how politics destroyed contemporary art. Kissick has an unimpeachable track record in both thought and taste – reputations we hoped we could disintegrate by asking him to talk about recklessly spending millions of pounds. Do we coax Dean into confessing a deep-seated love of leopard-print tracksuits and Jeff Koons sculptures? Play on to find out.
