How to have Great Chats with Josh Smith

Adrienne Herbert
About this episode

Award-winning British journalist, podcaster and presenter Josh Smith has gained international recognition for his signature empowering interviews. With his innate warmth and brilliant humour, he has chatted to many high-profile figures, from Oprah to Victoria Beckham.


During his childhood, Josh was too afraid to speak because of his speech impediment. In his adulthood, it was uncovering the power of conversation that transformed his life. As a celebrity interviewer, Josh has talked with people of every background, mood and personality, and had them open up like never before. Josh believes there's an art and a science to a good chat and understanding it can unlock a whole world of connection.


Josh’s new book Great Chat includes seven key lessons that will help you have more meaningful conversations and show you how it can improve your wellbeing. And it is out now online and in stores.


Josh also hosts the popular podcast Reign with Josh Smith, now in its ninth season. He is an ambassador for the children's mental health charity, Place2be and is a contributing editor for Glamour UK.
