The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

By The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Surprisingly enlightening about people. Disappointingly uninformative about furniture. Join Dan Brown (the host) as he interviews a range of guests (the guest) while they are sat in a wardrobe (the wardrobe). The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe ran intermittently from 2016 through to 2020, then disappeared, but now you can relive those turbulent years on more podcast platforms than ever.

Aaron Fernie | Episode 25 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Aaron Fernie | Episode 25 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Look, the notes I have for this episode are "vegetarians, Splash, and fighting a bear". What do you think that means? I guess you'll just have to listen to Aaron Fernie talk about them. Of course, he's doing so while sat in Dan Brown's wardrobe. It's the 25th episode, surely you know the format by now? Originally published 7th November 2017.

Callam Noel | Episode 24 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Callam Noel | Episode 24 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

It's another open mic enjoyer in Dan Brown's wardrobe this week. The wardrobe is kind of like an open mic, isn't it? There's a certain level of performance to being behind the microphone in Dan's wardrobe, I reckon, and performing to an audience in a pub is almost as nerve wracking as performing to an audience you can't see because you're sat in a wardrobe you've never been in before. Anyway, Callam Noel also wants to chat about music and cats. Originally published 29th October 2017.

Richard Fox | Episode 22 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Richard Fox | Episode 22 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

It's another mystery episode for Dan as the guest in his wardrobe isn't someone he's met before. The mystery turns out to be none other than Richard Fox, who wants to talk about roleplaying, Brexit, and his specialist subject: pumps. Ya got pump? Originally published 25th August 2017.

Robin Edwards | Episode 21 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Robin Edwards | Episode 21 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Isn't it great to hear dated references about now-former US President Donald Trump? I can only imagine that's why you're listening to stuff from 2016/17, anyway. This week long-time comedic collaborator Robin Edwards sits in Dan Brown's wardrobe to make those references. Originally published 12th August 2017.

Gareth Hughes | Episode 20 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Gareth Hughes | Episode 20 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

If you literally had a commissioned design of your face on a t-shirt, that would be pretty cool right? You wouldn't keep that in your wardrobe. Or maybe you would and you'd also have the whole actual man in there too. In this case, Gareth Hughes is the whole actual man and Dan Brown is the wardrobe owner. Originally published 19th July 2017.

Like everyone else, he also wants to talk about how hot it is in that wardrobe. Originally published 22nd June 2017.

Sam Chaplin II | Episode 17 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Sam Chaplin II | Episode 17 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

We resume Dan Brown's chat with Sam Chaplin, who is still sat in Dan's wardrobe. After they opened up to each other in last week's episode, the two men feel comfortable enough to talk more broadly about creativity, social media, and the existence of an mystery island. You'll be on the edge of your seat, unless you're sat in a cramped wardrobe. Originally published 20th May 2017.

Sam Chaplin I | Episode 16 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Sam Chaplin I | Episode 16 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

The first #HGWpod that had to be split into two parts! Prepare for more content than has been contained in any episode to date. In this first part, Sam Chaplin sits in Dan Brown's wardrobe and talks about bags on seats, Bud Light, and Sam's much more successful podcast. Successful enough that people read more than three sentences into the description, probably. Originally published 13th May 2017.

Steph Clubley | Episode 13 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Steph Clubley | Episode 13 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Getting back into stand-up comedy is one of the main themes of this week's wardrobe discussion. Maybe you should all send this to Dan and make him listen to it, then you'd get more Dan Brown content. You must want that if you're still here by now, right? Originally published 8th April 2017.

Ross Lyall Blair | Episode 9 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Ross Lyall Blair | Episode 9 | The Host, The Guest & The Wardrobe

Why is there a sudden jump to Episode 9? How did Dan manage to lose two episodes in succession? Ross Lyall Blair doesn't even acknowledge those questions from the comfort of Dan Brown's wardrobe, choosing instead to talk about comedy, piano, and sound quality (ironically). Originally published 22nd January 2017.
