This episode marks the first of a festive trio of treats.


On Christmas Day join us for a chat with Mr Chriiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiisssssssssssstmaaaaaaaaaaassssss! himself... Noddy Holder!


In our next episode we'll catch up with Denise Welsh, whose reinvention as queen of the huns has been extraordinary - PLUS we'll talk about her brand new Christmas single.


But today we're handing our a gift - when we sit down and look back on 2025 there is one woman who we think has had a quite extraordinary year. She's won awards, released her breakthrough work, and won us all over with her energy, personality and relentless work ethic. She is truly living her best life and doing it HER way.


Our White Wine Question Time 'Woman of the Year' is RAYE.


To celebrate - this is a chat I had with RAYE a few years ago as she was really starting to break through as her own artist. As you'll hear all of the hallmarks of her current success were there all along.

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.
