The Dale Hurst Writing Show – the Story So Far…

14 February 2023 No Comments
The words The Dale Hurst Writing Show the Story So Far appear on a black background

I’ve harped on about it somewhat for the last couple of years, but some of you may still have missed the low-down on my podcast, The Dale Hurst Writing Show. Let me enlighten you…

Where to begin when talking about The Dale Hurst Writing Show… What is it? When and how did it all come from, and why?

What

The show is a podcast, a.k.a. a series of 35-50ish-minute audio programmes; in this case, they revolve around topics and issues in the worlds of writing, publishing and storytelling. I get a guest or two on every episode to discuss the subject of the week, which usually has some relevance to that guest’s work and/or area of expertise. Most of my guests are writers of prose fiction; I’ve also had the pleasure of speaking with filmmakers, playwrights, poets, screenwriters and marketing professionals. I always reserve a window in the episode to interview my guests about themselves and their work, including whatever creative projects they’re working on at that time.

Why

Until 2021, I was the editor of an online positive news magazine. Part of that magazine’s ongoing content was a satirical current affairs podcast called Bournemouth Backchat, which I co-presented with James Boxall and Aaron Hayes. That ran for over 50 episodes, closing with the magazine. And that left a big podcast-shaped hole in my life that I was determined to fill. After doing a bit of research and discovering there weren’t many podcasts around that were discussing writing and storytelling in both theory and practice, I thought I’d give it a go. And with that, The Dale Hurst Writing Show was born. The response to the first season of 10 episodes was so positive that I brought it back for a second last year.

Where

I initially published on Spotify only, but The Dale Hurst Writing Show is now available to listen on Google Podcasts and Amazon Music as well. In fact there are five platforms to choose from to listen to this podcast. You’ll find links to all of them below.

Did I Just Apply to go on Jamie Oliver’s New TV Show?

14 September 2021 No Comments

Celebrity chef Jamie Oliver is on the hunt for the next big cookery author. Question is, did I throw my hat into the ring…?

Long-time followers will know about my love of food, drink, restaurants, bars, hotels… the list goes on. And for a while, I entertained the idea of being a food writer. Indeed, I ran a food blog, Expensive Tastes, for the best part of seven years. With modest success, I might add. Especially when I got invited to review a very grand London restaurant back in 2016. But since closing its website down in 2019, apart from the occasional guest restaurant review posted on Instagram, I have largely fallen off the food writing wagon. So when my frequent collaborator Aaron Hayes brought this video from one of my favourite celeb chefs, Jamie Oliver, to my attention, I was drawn into something I found hard to resist.

Find out the truth in the full video below:

You can also apply to be on Jamie Oliver’s new show by clicking here. Deadline is Monday 20th September 2021, and you must be based in the UK.

Think I should get back into food writing anyway? Why not let me know in the comments? For more author news and views, my Facebook and Instagram pages are here. And drop a subscription to my YouTube channel to remain informed of the latest, plus some exclusives. Furthermore, my fortnightly podcast, The Dale Hurst Writing Show, is available to listen to here on Spotify.
