Five Brilliant Things is a podcast that celebrates the stuff in our lives that makes it worth getting up in the morning. Each week a different special guest sits down with Russell to explain the things from their lives that bring them happiness.
Highlights have included Greg Davies recounting the Shropshire riots, Jameela Jamil revealing her past as a meat smuggler, Maisie Adam telling an incredible story about a banana, Linford Christie telling Russell how to run properly and Stephen Merchant revealing he’s an online chess troll.
Five Brilliant Things is an unapologetic romp through the little things from life that bring us all joy.
