APRIL FOOLS: Ellie Taylor

APRIL FOOLS: Ellie Taylor

Author: Kate Thornton April 28, 2026 Duration: 42:59

Welcome to White Wine Question Time, where on Tuesdays we dust off some of our very best episodes from the cellar.


This month it's all about our favourite April Fools - the very best funny women and men we've raised a glass with. You'll hear from Joe Lycett, Katharine Ryan, Stewart Lee, and Ellie Taylor (this episode) - but they're just the tip of the iceberg; if you want more comedians there are dozens of them in our back catalogue.


Make sure you subscribe so you don't miss our new episodes every Thursday, bonus episodes of Weekend White Wine Question Time every Saturday, and the very best from our archive.


Cheers!


Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.


There’s a particular kind of conversation that happens after a glass or two of wine, where guards come down and real stories emerge. That’s the atmosphere White Wine Question Time captures so perfectly. Hosted by Kate Thornton, each episode gathers well-known friends for a relaxed yet revealing chat, structured around three thoughtful questions and, of course, a shared bottle. What unfolds is less a formal interview and more a glimpse into the genuine friendships behind the public personas. You’ll hear laughter, unexpected confessions, and perspectives on culture, society, and current events that rarely make the headlines. This podcast thrives in the space between entertainment and intimate disclosure, often veering into comedy as these candid discussions unfold. With a vast back catalogue of over 450 episodes, each one feels like pulling up a chair to a fascinating table. Whether you start with the latest release or browse the extensive archive, you’re guaranteed a listen that’s as engaging and relevant as it is genuinely enjoyable.
