Jack Whitehall to launch his first podcast
Jack Whitehall is to host his first podcast.
Jack Whitehall's Safe Space, which will be about awkward moments, launches this November.
Audible, which will publish the show, explain: "In Jack's first foray into podcasting, Jack Whitehall's Safe Space is all about awkward moments and embarrassment, a topic its host is 'no stranger to'. Joined by producer, comedy writer and the 'unembarrassable' James Serafinowicz (Truth Seekers, Sick Note), the brand-new Audible Original will welcome celebrity guests to offer their own unique perspective on some of life's most embarrassing moments, as well as offering listeners the opportunity to throw their own into the mix."
Produced by Audio Always for Audible, Jack Whitehall's Safe Space will launch as a box-set listen, with each episode focusing on a different topic. The producers say: "From bodily mishaps, celebrity encounters, to the fertile territory of love and dating, nothing will be off the table as Jack does his best to cleanse all feelings of cringes past, from listeners and guests alike. And remember - what happens in the Safe Space, stays in the Safe Space."
Jack Whitehall says: "I'm a man who divides his time more or less equally between a) getting myself in cringe-inducing situations, and then, b) telling strangers about those cringe-inducing situations - so doing a podcast with Audible to help others also experience the cathartic joy of sharing tales of embarrassment is an absolute treat. We've got some amazing stories from listeners and celebrity guests who have kindly agreed to share some of their personal humiliations with us all so they can move on, cringe-free. There's no judgement in my Safe Space! Except when my parents inevitably come on as guests, at which point there will very much be judgement."
Aurelie De Troyer from Audible comments: "At Audible, we're extremely proud to be creating award-winning original comedy content and are continuing to focus on best-in-class comedy for our commissioning going into next year. Jack is one of the UK's most beloved comedians and we're delighted to be working with him on his first podcast. Safe Space is promising to be hilarious, but not only that, it will also give listeners the chance to interact with Jack takeback the control of their embarrassing stories and turn it into something we can all relate to and laugh about together."
Jack Whitehall's Safe Space will be available exclusively on Audible from 21st November 2022.
