We here at IHAR HQ do not support body shaming, but that’s exactly how this episode starts with the perfectly normal piece of information that Sam Lake was born an 11lb baby, which apparently is worryingly big. ANYWAY, our guest this week is the lovely Priya Hall, who chatted about the Cameron Diaz & Leslie Mann film “The Other Woman”, a film Sam h…

It’s rare that the guest chooses a topic that genuinely makes me and the producer squeal with excitement, but that’s exactly what happens in this episode. Our supreme guest is Laura Lexx, who enjoys a Passionfruit Martini and we totally nerd out over The Real Housewives! Receipts, Proof, Timelines! I Brought The Bunny! We had so much to talk about …

It’s a complicated coffee order for our latest guest, Harriet Kemsley! She’s requested a decadent iced oat blueberry matcha latte to sip on as we chat about 00’s iconic fashion outlet Topshop. Why did it have such a stranglehold on us and our clothes choices? Is it intrinsically British? How do other brands compare? And how many times have you walk…

This episode, in a word, is chaos. In the best possible way. Our guest is the stunning Helen Bauer, who had come for a chat about buying trinkets and souvenirs. Due to Sam’s poor time keeping, we talked about that for maybe 4 minutes, instead talking about Disney Vloggers and which Disney character is the most right wing. Also Sam is gaslit into th…

The most calcium packed episode yet with a shot of Actimel followed by a hefty yoghurty gulp of a Yop. Vittorio Angelone stopped by to chat about Classical Music (though it’s actually not called that, see it’s an educational podcast). We also bond over the fact we’ve both been on Countdown, and spill the backstage tea. Also, I’m wearing a fun hat t…

Another giggly episode this week thanks to Canadian delight Kate Hammer! Interspersed amongst the random chats about fitness & Married At First Sight, this week we’re talking about cinematic masterpiece Planet of The Apes. Well….two films from the rebooted trilogy to be specific. Find out why Kate loves these films so much. Is it all down to the ch…

Fatla genowgh hwi ow thekteryow? A lil cornish phrase to welcome the lovely Tamsyn Kelly onto the pod this week. It’s just two Cornish kids nattering about cider and tractor rides. After spraying a pre-shaken can of Lucky Saint 0% Lager all over his lap, Sam asks Tamsyn all about beaches. Who doesn’t love a seaside getaway? We discuss beach etiquet…

If your thing is watching two grown men giggle uncontrollably at the word Dolmio, THIS is your episode. The incomparable Phil Ellis joins Sam this week for a cheeky espresso martini and a chat about the horror classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre. But we’ll be honest, we talked about that for all of 5 minutes, and instead talked about Elton John, Michel…

Look sometimes we start the episode and then we get carried away with a nice gay chat that we forget to follow the format of the show. Oops, I’m human, sue me. This week’s guest is Larry Dean! And after a brief mention of Larry’s beloved vitamin juice, we have a chat about Elvis, his legacy and Larry’s recent trip of a lifetime to Graceland. We als…

Welcome to the pod, the marvellous Marc Jennings! We’re knocking back a snifter of the deliciously nutty Frangelico, before starting a fascinating chat about manifesting. Have you ever looked in the mirror and said ‘you are a nice person’? Have you made a vision board made up of underwear models and yoghurt? Well we have, and we’re talking about it…

Well, it looks like we’ve done a live episode of the pod then, doesn’t it? It’s a Joy Multiplication reunion!

Plus, an in depth discussion of Raygun the bre…

The last member of Joy Multiplication has finally made it to rose HQ! Another episode recorded in the midst of the Edinburgh Fringe, Huge Davies joins Sam for a lager shandy and a chat about YouTube and the many rabbit holes it can take you down. We also talk about the one time Olga got us a stripper for Sam’s Birthday and how it made us the men we…

We here at Rosé HQ would like to issue a formal apology to Sikisa for making the worst Rum Punch she’s likely ever had. Despite that, we swallow and move on, and we chat about our specialist subject: D*ck. Now you might think it’s going to be an episode of filth, and a little bit of it is but it’s also a wonderfully earnest chat about love and self…

Welcome to the first episode recorded in the midst of the Edinburgh Fringe! Joining us on the sofa today is acclaimed comedian Chris Cantrill. We fixed him up a mug of low-alcohol beer and had a chat about mediaeval times…sort of. To be perfectly honest, everyone in the studio was extremely tired, then Chris said something about milk and we all com…

Cracking open the whisky cabinet once more, this time a dram (or big mug) of Monkey Shoulder with comedian Daniel Sloss! Whilst Sam hides the burning taste of whisky, they chat about the Disney hit Moana and the emotional stranglehold it has on anyone who sees it (except for Sam) Follow The Show on socials: https://twitter.com/ivehadarose https://w…

Just two lads whipping out their decks. Of Pokémon cards. This week we welcome Christopher Macarthur-Boyd, comedian and Pokémon master. And finally a subject Sam can talk with authority on. Whilst sipping a Mojito, we chat about what makes Pokémon so magical? Why are the new professors so goddamn sexy? And why does everyone hate Gen 5? Respect Trub…

Comedian Susan Riddell joins Sam this week for a mug of sparkling water (San Pelli) and a chat about her favourite show, A Place In The Sun. Why do we love property based daytime TV? What is it with these British holiday makers? Is there a show in Spain called ‘A place in the pissin rain’? Plus, a harsh ranking of the best sparkling water beverages…

DISCLAIMER: Sam got caught in the Scottish rain and was incredibly damp for the entire episode. In the studio we have the deliciously dry comedian Chris Weir, popping by to have a swig of Kombucha and a good ‘ol chat about crying. We all do it. But what makes us cry? Is it normal to set time aside for crying? What are our triggers? And would you bu…

20 episodes in and we are well and truly losing the plot. This week the awe-inspiring Rosco McClelland has stopped by for a cappuccino and a chat about time travel. Well, we might have discussed time travel at some point. Honestly. Just sit back, relax, and try to make heads or tails of this one. I’m still replaying it in my head. If you’ve ever wa…

Nature! It’s all around us. Especially if you go to see it at an IMAX. Joining Sam today is brilliant comic and Sam’s neighbour, Laura Davis! OVer a mug of sparkling ginger beer, they’re chatting about nature documentaries. Why do we like watching them? What makes them so appealing? Do they terrify us about the state of the world? Is it okay to pro…

It’s pride month, and it’s a gay ‘ol episode. Joining Sam in the studio this week is sensational stand-up Joe Sutherland, who’s having his first iced oat latte of the season.

The immensely lovely and wonderful Josie Long is our guest this week. And once we overcame the sheer debacle of confusing Ovaltine for the inferior Horlicks, we had a lovely chat about comforting malted beverages and Josie’s passion for Chess! We also talked for a surprisingly long time about barebacking and at time of writing, I don’t recall why. …

In the middle of his sold out tour, Morgan Rees hopped onto the pod to talk about Food!

PLUS Morgan becomes the first guest to have a rosé whilst ON I’ve Had A Rosé. Follow The Show on socials: https://twitter.com/ive…

DISCLAIMER: This is the most chaotic episode of the pod so far and that is largely down to our glorious guest, Amelia Bayler. We are sipping luxury pre-made iced coffees taken right out of the email deal aisle, as we chat about the 2000s. Naughties culture. Think Paris Hilton & Nicole Richie. Lindsay Lohan. The jeans, heels and a nice top era. Plus…

Get ready for an episode that breaks the record for most times saying “salted rim” with a cheeky tone. This week the star that is Jay Lafferty comes by the studio for a mug of margarita and a natter about the iconic medical drama Grey’s Anatomy. Another show Sam has hardly seen. We cover all the big questions, can you find love after being drowned?…

Coming straight out of the world foods section at the local Sainsburys, comedian and fellow Monkey Barrel podcast host George Fox brings in a 1.25L bottle of Club Orange to sip upon as we chat about his passion for all things horror.
