RHLSTP with Richard Herring: RHLSTP 527 - Charlotte Church

#527 Happy Grammy Birthday. Richard has travelled to the home of GoFasterStripe - Cardiff, in Welsh Wales - and his guest is singer and activist Charlotte Church. They chat about her extraordinary rise to fame and the whirlwind of travel and celebrities that came with it. How Frasier was disappointingly weird when she met him at the inauguration of George W Bush; how she sang a requiem at the wedding of Rupert Murdoch and how he didn't uphold his end of the deal; the unbelievable (and yet totally believable) creepy reaction of the tabloids as Charlotte turned sixteen; how she became political active and put her money where her mouth is; and her optimistic hopes for the future. Plus Richard attempts to launch his own career as a child singing prodigy and the pair join in a haunting duet. About as haunting as what was going on in the next hotel room to him in London.
