Episode 2: Dave Coulson
Dave Coulson is a TV Producer by trade and currently leads the social media team for BBC One's Morning Live.
Dave's two decade TV career has seen him work mostly across children and education shows, having series produced Bitesize Daily; a show for parents trying to teach their kids during lockdown. His real claim to fame, however, is launching 'Hacker The Dog' on social media which some 3 years later, became a viral sensation with over 8 millions views.
We talk careers, Dave's meticulously planned and brilliant 40th birthday party which will also raise money for charity, ask whether social media is good or bad and compare moisturising regimes, as well as talking around managing family life at 40.
Dave was the first person Rich ever did a radio show with, some twenty years ago, so they explore a bit of the old magic.
