Anna Williamson (Part One)

About this episode

Joining Emily and Raymond for a stroll today is the fabulous Anna Williamson! 


We met Anna in beautiful Hertford to chat about her endlessly fascinating life and career. From joining a girlband when she was 17 and then becoming a TV presenter... this woman has done it all. Anna now hosts two incredibly successful podcasts - LuAnna and The Affair - and she also stars as one of the experts on Channel 4's Celebs Go Dating! 


We discussed Anna’s childhood in a house with three brothers and golden retrievers. She explains why she feels so strongly about when it's the right place and time to give an opinion and we also discuss the profound effect of grief - and the moment Anna decided to live her life to the fullest.
