Gemma & Gorka are Lost In Translation
First episode coming Wednesday 22nd October
Join HITS Radio presenter and actress Gemma Atkinson and her partner Spanish dancer Gorka Marquez in their first ever podcast as they find themselves navigating their daily lives whilst 鈥楲ost in Translation鈥�.
A new original Rayo Podcast 鈥楲ost in Translation鈥� explores the couple鈥檚 day-to-day life, juggling their busy schedules alongside parenting their two young children. With language and cultural differences also thrown into their relationship mix they can find themselves, like many couples, not always seeing eye to eye along the way!
Gemma finds it frustrating that Gorka has a place for everything and everything must be in its place whereas her more laid-back messy approach drives Gorka up the wall. He also doesn鈥檛 understand how she can have absolutely no interest in her fashion choices but is happy to consult her crystals in their big life choices.
As well as stories and discussions from their own lives the couple who met on Strictly in 2017 will be helping their listeners to navigate any problems they might have with their own unique set of advice, but will Gemma and Gorka be offering the same solution or be dancing to a totally different beat?
鈥淕emma and I are different, but that鈥檚 what makes us work.鈥� said Gorka Marquez. 鈥淲e bicker, we laugh, and we always find a way through. We hope Lost in Translation makes people feel less alone in their own relationship dilemmas and brings a smile to their faces.鈥�
Gemma Atkinson said: 鈥淲e wanted to create something really authentic that parents and couples can relate to. Life with two kids and conflicting schedules is always an adventure, and Gorka and I definitely have our moments! This podcast is about embracing those differences and finding the funny side.鈥�
Lucie Cave, Bauer Media Audio鈥檚 Chief Creative Officer said: 鈥淚鈥檝e been wanting to do something with Gemma and Gorka for a long time, and it was just a matter of timing – and persuading them to let us into their world. Their brilliant and hilarious family dynamics, the things they bicker about, agree on, or lose in translation, make them endlessly entertaining, relatable and warm. We鈥檙e so excited to welcome them into the Bauer family. We鈥檝e already had huge success with Gemma鈥檚 Overshare podcast, and this feels like the next stage in her podcasting journey – I can鈥檛 wait to see where it goes.鈥�
Warm and relatable this podcast is about how to agree to disagree, how to navigate relationships in today鈥檚 society and how humour might just be the tonic to help us through the day to day鈥︹��
The podcast is available on the Rayo app, Apple, Amazon Music, Spotify … or wherever you get your podcasts, from 22nd October with a new episode each week.
