About the podcast

Big Little Interests is the podcast where hosts Freya Bennett & Lucy Regent get real nosy about their guests' hyperfixations.

Each episode, Freya & Lucy invite a comedian, celebrity or person they admire to unpack a niche interest that they're completely obsessed with. Along the way, we'll find out what sparked it and why whatever it is, lives in their head rent free.

From obscure historical rabbit holes and bizarre internet subcultures to strange collections, competitive cheese rolling and everything in between, no interest is too niche for these gals. Expect hilarious stories, surprising facts and your favourite comedians, creators and celebrities as you've never seen them before.

If you love curious conversations, unexpected tangents and anything oddly specific, Big Little Interests is a bit of you!

    Our first episode of Big Little Interests is finally HERE and not gonna lie, it's a belter. Comedian and Love Island voice over legend, Steve Bugeja, joins Lucy & Freya for their debut show, woo!

    Steve's a certified train nerd, who reckons the same can't be said for Francis Bourgeois (shots have been fired, soz Francis). His hyperfixation is one that'll get the Reddit forums frothing, and if you also love all things train travel related, we reckon you'll lap this up.

    This episode contains explicit language and adult themes that may not be suitable for all listeners and viewers.
