Running Loose with Francesca Cumani & Vanessa Ryle1 Sep 2025

Presenting Pressures, On-Air Innuendos & All Ryled Up

Welcome aboard another episode of the Running Loose Podcast.

Recording from inside York Racecourse once again, where Francesca Cumani had been hosting for ITV, herself and Vanessa Ryle discuss an array of topics once more.

Both the ladies talk about the realities and pressures of presenting on TV, including the plus and negatives of having autocue - and of course, what is it like to make an on-air Innuendos. They dig deep into their lives on the telly and offer a fascinating insight into the production of live broadcasting. Do you know the difference between a producer and a director?

They also encourage younger people to get into the industry and the various initiatives that are taking place - like a Pony Academy.

Vanessa also, via a friend, gives her co-host an almighty compliment - listen to watch to find what she said!

In an interesting Question Time, find out who the ladies would like to be cooked by if they could choose anyone (hint, they both keep it close to home!), which Irish course Vanessa prefers and which racecourse has the friendliest staff.

Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.
