S10 Ep4: MELVIN ODOOM ON HOSTING A RADIO SHOW WITH HIS BEST FRIENDS, MODERN DATING, AND WHAT HE LEARNED FROM ‘CELEBRITY SAVE OUR SPERM’

 This week on the #MondayMile podcast I’m joined by radio DJ and TV presenter @melvinodoom, best known for his BBC Radio 1 show @rickiehw and @charliehedgesdj. Melvin and I take a walk around some familiar territory for him in snowy Central London to discuss a wide range of topics - and even whip out some (questionable) dance moves . We relive his journey into radio, including how he formed a treasured family unit with partners Rickie and Charlie. We also bond over the difficulties of modern dating, including the awkwardness of the apps and dating in the public eye. Melvin’s mantra is to be open to anything, which I love. Melvin also tells me about his experience on last year’s Celebrity Save Our Sperm, including what he learnt about his own health and how he’s seen it help other men examine their fertility. This one was pretty special - listen on your favourite podcast platform and watch on YouTube0  #mondaymile #melvinodoom #bbcradio #kissbreakfast

Former Team GB double winter Olympian, and no broadcaster and author Aimee Fuller is on a mission to find the secrets for Monday motivation from some of the most successful sports men and women of our time and other well-known celebrities which will drop every week. Aimee will be probing for answers from the full spectrum of routines; the early birds who have finely tuned Monday mornings, to the late risers who struggle to get up before 11am. How do elite athletes find the motivation to kick start their week come rain or shine? How do celebrities deliver no matter what the time of day? What knowledge can they pass on?’ Each episode will drop on a Monday morning and plays out in real time. Aimee will meet each of her guests for a walk and a chat and over the course of the mile she will find out how they cope on a Monday morning - their idiosyncrasies, breakfast routines, alarm noises - and how, when they need to, find the motivation to kick-on through the week. Dropping every Monday as a bitesize 23-35 minute piece of content and weekly dose of motivation - right when you need it - sharing some of Britain's greatest athletes’ secrets on self-motivation, candid thoughts on what they struggle with and a sideways look at some of their more unusual morning habits.
