Rockwater ‘In conversation with’ is a podcast series launched by the beachside lifestyle hub in Hove.
Hosted at Rockwater in Hove and presented by radio DJ and voice over artist Sophie Corbett, the podcast features a line-up of professional athletes, British TV presenters and music legends. Sophie delves deeper into their lives to reveal things which might otherwise have remained unheard.
Recorded in front of a live audience, and many of the guests’ biggest fans at the venue, the first episode features British athlete, Dame Kelly Holmes.
She explores all things in her life, career and her long and emotional road to finally being her authentic self in a powerful and moving chat.
Episode two launching soon, will feature an open and honest conversation and Q&A session with fans at Rockwater, with former professional boxer Anthony Lewis Bellew.
Bellew competed in professional boxing from 2007 through light heavyweight, cruiserweight and heavyweight and returned to cruiserweight for the last match of his career against Alexander Usyk in 2018. He appeared in the Hollywood movie, Creed, and is now a boxing analyst and commentator with Dazn.
Future episodes will feature music legend Norman Cook AKA Fatboy Slim, TV presenter Davina McCall, actor and comedian Robert Brydon Jones MBE, British sports promoter Eddie Hearn and Matchroom Boxing CEO, Frank Smith.
Host of the series Sophie Corbett said: “I am always keen for people to talk. Life can be wonderful, but it can also be incredibly challenging at times. I never want people to feel alone, and I also find people incredible and each individual’s life so very interesting.
“Working with Rockwater we are able to reach out and I am lucky enough to meet and chat to some of the most inspiring individuals, who have also been brave enough to be vulnerable, speaking to me and their fans at Rockwater not only about their highlights but also about when life has been challenging and painful.
“We think we know someone and then they really open up and tell us about their journey. That’s when we can learn so much and that is what the Rockwater ‘In Conversations with’ podcast is all about.
“I thought I knew about each guest when in fact I only knew a little piece of the pie. Their stories are funny, moving, inspirational, educational, brave and the list goes on. At Rockwater we are excited to keep talking and listening.”
The first episode of Rockwater In Conversation with Dame Kelly Holmes is available to listen now.
