Joe Marler launches new BBC Sounds video podcast with a twist

Fresh from his breakout run on The Celebrity Traitors, Joe Marler is launching a brand-new video podcast, Joe Marler Will See You Now.

The former England rugby star takes on an unconventional new role as a self-styled, unqualified psychologist, putting a humorous spin on the traditional celebrity interview.

Produced by Folding Pocket, the Platform Media label behind The Celebrity Traitors: Uncloaked, the new podcast will be available on BBC Sounds.

This marks the first time the platform has licensed an entertainment show from its original launch, signalling a fresh direction for the BBCโ€™s podcast slate.

Since The Celebrity Traitors launched in October, Marlerโ€™s eccentric personality and sharp instincts have made him a household name.

His performance in the showโ€™s finale, where he became a fan favourite among the โ€˜Faithfulโ€™, cemented his reputation for being both unpredictable and perceptive – traits heโ€™ll now bring into his new role as host.

In Joe Marler Will See You Now, celebrity guests, including some of his former Traitors co-stars, are invited into Joeโ€™s mock โ€œclinicโ€ for a unique psychological session. Each episode will mix probing questions, outlandish personality tests, and spontaneous humour, leading to bizarre yet revealing conversations.

Marler has built a career that spans sport, media, and mental health advocacy. Speaking about the new show, he said: โ€œI am really excited to be launching a new podcast with a twist! Think Good Will Hunting meets The Goonies. Iโ€™ve always loved asking questions and learning new things – this show lets me do it in the most surreal, unpredictable way.โ€

Joe Marler Will See You Now launches at 6pm on Thursday 13 November, fully visualised and available on all major podcast platforms.
