I’m going to rattle through a few new celebrity interview podcasts this week (you can thank me later, etc). First up: Where There’s a Will There’s a Wake with the nation’s favourite actor turned occasional presenter, Kathy Burke. The concept? Death and how to do it, plus jokes. Burke is only in her 50s, but contemplating your own demise is a useful way of putting yourself in your place during middle age. “After all, every day lived is a day closer to death,” she says, cheerfully.
