  • The Gin Lady - with Tina from Warners Gin

    The Gin Lady - with Tina from Warners Gin
    Mar 20 2026

    Co-founder and CEO of Warners Gin Distillery, Tina Warner-Keogh started off with a mission in 2012 to save the world from mediocre gin. From a farming family, she used her gut as her guide and nature as her inspiration to diversify her husband Tom’s family farm, installing a still and growing botanicals. Tina tells the story of starting a business from scratch to pioneering the world’s first rhubarb gin. From a patriarchal family, she’s had to grow in courage and belief, steering her business through Covid and the cost of living crisis to the success it is today. Sustainability is absolutely at the heart of what she does and her mission is to the world’s leading nature-driven drinks business. She brings some china pea pods, as she’s nicknamed ‘Tina Pod’ and is very close to her Mum. She also brings some colourful ‘wings’ beaded earrings from Tanzania, which commemorate her epic climb up Kilimanjaro as well as a framed picture from her brother with a very special meaning. She says that her six minute diary helps her process her emotions and makes her focus on gratitude every day and that her dogs keep her grounded and happy. Find Warners gin in good clubs, bars and restaurants, as well as supermarkets near you.

  • Talking To Strangers with Gill Paul

    Talking To Strangers with Gill Paul
    Mar 13 2026
    Internationally best-selling author Gill Paul has written plenty of non-fiction, but has turned her love of history into writing ‘what-if’ novels, taking real historical figures and weaving stories around them. It was her experience of teenage heartbreak that led to her write about the Romanovs in The Secret Life and The Lost Daughter, but she’s tackled all sorts of eras, from Jazz age New York, to the juicy rivalry of Jackie Onassis and Maria Callas, along with the sexist world of publishing in Scandalous Women, to name but a few. A romantic at heart, Gill shows us her very personal mementos including a LOVE sign from her current partner, a beaded doll gifted by her nephew after a school trip, her grandmother’s wedding ring and her late mother’s lipsticks, still bearing the shape of her lips. Gill swims outside every day in the Hampstead pond, but as well as the efficacy of cold water, she says her life hack it to talk to strangers. She says it’s a Scottish thing, but striking up a conversation with a stranger has the power to completely change your day. Follow Gill on all the socials and on instagram @gill.paul1

  • Just Give It A Go - with Rhea Freeman

    Just Give It A Go - with Rhea Freeman
    Mar 6 2026

    Our funny, down-to-earth guest this week is a PR adviser, marketing expert, author, podcaster and business coach who started out helping small businesses in the equestrian and rural space, but has picked the brains of a host of ‘rock-star’ entrepreneurs for her podcast and book, ‘You’ve Got This - How to Supercharge your business and conquer your goals’. Rhea says that even the most successful business people feel overwhelmed and lack confidence occasionally. Passionate about growing social media organically, she says the key to success is getting your face out there, but that showing up is doesn’t mean being perfect, in fact far from it. Being human and a bit rough around the edges is the key to connecting with customers. She lives in the country with her family, four sheep and a dog and says she’s not sentimental about ‘stuff’, but she shows us her diamond-studded engagement ring made out of a farrier’s nail, a Posh Totty necklace with a ‘C’ and and ‘O’ which she never takes off and links her to her twin sons and her Astrid & Miyu crystal earrings reminding her of her love of small businesses. She says her life hack is to let go of the idea of perfection and to just give it a go. Find out more on instagram @rheafreemanpr www.rheafreemanpr.co.uk
