Harriet Kemsley takes over Desert Island Dicks
Podcast gets a new host
Harriet Kemsley has taken over as host of the podcast Desert Island Dicks.
In a reversal of the Radio 4 format, the show asks its guests to choose the people and things they’d least like to be Stranded with. It launched in 2019, with Dan Benedictus hosting the first 295 episodes.
Guests lined up to talk to Kemsley include Zoe Lyons, Andrew Maxwell, Darren Harriot, Jacob Hawley, Alexandra Haddow and Bella Hull.
She said: ‘I am having a lot of fun forcing comedians to imagine being trapped on a desert island with the things they hate the most.
‘They’ve created some very funny, nightmarish environments and I don’t think anyone we’ve had on the podcast so far would survive the first night.’
The new series of Desert Island Dicks has just launched on all the main podcast platforms with Kerry Godliman the first guest.
