A new podcast from Jamie East will explore behind the scenes stories from the entertainment industry through interviews and weekly commentary.
Tales from the Celebrity Trenches marks a return to podcasting for Jamie East, focusing on conversations with well-known figures alongside his take on current pop culture.
The show combines guest interviews with regular discussion about the changing nature of celebrity and entertainment.
Jamie first became known after founding Holy Moly in 2002, a gossip and entertainment website that built a strong following during the early years of online publishing.
His reputation has centred on direct and often humorous commentary on showbiz, which continues in this new series.
The podcast will feature a range of guests from across the entertainment world. Early names include Simon Cowell and GK Barry, alongside regular appearances from comedian Matt Richardson and New Zealand comic Alice Brine, who will join Jamie for wider cultural discussion.
Each episode will give listeners a clearer view of how the industry operates, with a focus on personal experiences and stories that have not previously been shared publicly.
The format also reflects how celebrity culture has shifted, particularly with the influence of social media on public image and reputation.
The series is part of DMG’s Seriously Popular network and will be released as a fully visualised podcast, allowing audiences to watch as well as listen across podcast platforms.
Tales from the Celebrity Trenches launches on Wednesday 6 May.
