Broadcaster Roman Kemp and musician Tom Grennan’s new podcast takes a look into their real-life friendship and the conversations they usually save for the group chat.
You About? offers unscripted conversations that only true mates can have, with banter, heart-to-hearts, and plenty of laughs. The pair go deep into everything from mental health to fashion faux pas, all while keeping it 100% real.
“You About? is exactly what it sounds like – just two mates chatting about life,” says Roman. “It’s not very planned, but that’s what makes it feel real.”
Tom adds: “It’s a proper chance for people to see who we really are, not just the version of us you get on stage or on TV.”
The pair became friends after meeting at the gym in 2018 and have been close ever since. Now, they’re bringing that same energy to their new podcast.
Richard Maddock, Commissioning Editor at BBC Radio 5 Live, says: “Roman and Tom have a really special friendship. They are two mates from two different backgrounds who crossed paths with each other and became the best of friends.
“Their conversations are genuine, authentic and hilarious…with some amazing stories to tell. Whether they’re talking about music, football, gossip, relationships or their celebrity circles, you never know what they are going to say next.”
While the series will focus on Roman and Tom’s ‘bromance’, there will also be the occasional cameo from their wide circle of friends: “We’ve got a lot to talk about already, but we’re open to throwing the group chat wide open,” says Roman.
Commissioned by BBC Radio 5 Live and produced by Insanity Studios, You About? will be available on BBC Sounds on Tuesday 20 May, with new episodes released weekly, plus an exclusive bonus episode available only on BBC Sounds each week.
