Big Little Interests - a big new podcast covering the small things
Comedy writers Freya Bennett and Lucy Regent— AKA the Hyperfixation Huns— are on a mission. In Big Little Interests, they’re diving into the weird and wonderful world of niche interests. And they won’t be doing it alone…
In each episode, hosts Freya & Lucy invite guests they admire to reveal their unusual area of interest and curiosity around that subject, and where it fits into their wider picture of their lives. Anything goes - from Anne Boleyn’s dog Purkoy, to limited edition Beanie Babies (check your attic, they’re worth 💸 these days) to people on TikTok who own bobcats to competitive cheese eating and woefully underused musical instruments. Freya and Lucy want to hear it all!
Guests range from side-splitting comedians like Steve Bugeja, Katie Pritchard and Suchandrika Chakrabati to TV personalities like Married at First Sight UK’s Emma Barnes. All four episodes will also be available to stream on audio platforms such as Apple, Spotify and to view as well on YouTube. The podcast will be released monthly.
In a world full of disheartening noise, Big Little Interests offers an offbeat, light-hearted, yet insightful interview podcast that gives listeners a unique glimpse into brilliant guests that they won’t find anywhere else. If you’re a fan of the weird and whimsical, then look (or listen) no further— this is the podcast for you!
