Smooth Radio today launches a brand new Global Original Podcast, Famous Firsts, hosted by Smooth Breakfast presenter Jenni Falconer. Listen to the trailer here.

We all remember our first concert, our first album and the first song we slow-danced to, but what about our favourite artists’ firsts? In Smooth Radio’s Famous Firsts, Jenni Falconer chats to music legends to hear the stories behind their firsts: first gigs, first record deals, first TV appearances and much more. Listeners will hear hilarious, heart-warming and, at times, heart-breaking stories from guests each week as they reminisce with Jenni.

Ed Sheeran talks about his hero Elton John; Michael Bolton opens up about his parents’ divorce and their unwavering support of him, while Shane Filan and Nicky Byrne reveal what made Westlife get on their feet for their very first key change.

Episode one of Famous Firsts launches on Monday 8th November with Ed Sheeran. Future guests confirmed for the podcast series include Gabrielle, Westlife, Richard Marx, Tony Hadley, Billy Ocean, Leona Lewis, Michael Bolton and Marti Pellow.
