Pull up a chair and eavesdrop on a conversation that could only happen over a good meal. Out To Lunch, from Sony Music Entertainment, is an interview podcast that trades a sterile studio for the clatter and comfort of a top restaurant. With the brilliantly sharp and curious Ade Edmondson as your host, each episode is an invitation to listen in as he shares a table with fascinating figures from across the arts, culture, film, television, and society. You’ll hear from guests like musician Chrissie Hynde, comedian Reece Shearsmith, legendary producer Tony Visconti, and actor Daisy Haggard, among others. The setting does more than provide ambiance; it loosens inhibitions and steers the talk toward the personal, the unexpected, and the genuinely hilarious. Edmondson’s own background, from breaking into the comedy circuit in the 1980s to his varied career since, informs his approach-he’s both a peer and a provocateur, asking the questions that arise between courses. The result is a wonderfully intimate and witty dialogue that feels less like a formal interview and more like you’ve managed to snag the best seat in the house, right next to the most interesting table in the room. This podcast captures the unique alchemy of food, company, and conversation, delivering a listening experience that is as satisfying and unpredictable as the meals themselves.
