Meet the hosts
Emilie
Posh Snipes
This is Emilie’s biog bit. Or at least it would be if she’d sent me it. So it looks like it’s down to me.
Em. Lady Emilie. Call her what you like. Tbh, in my contacts she’s “Emile” and I can’t be arsed to correct it.
Has she told you she does wild swimming? Yes, she definitely has.
Tells a good story. Has opinions. Has opinions about your opinions. Prone to leaving podcast-length voicenotes. Fortunately, so am I. That was part of the reason for making Sniper’s Alley. We’d been practising on each other’s WhatsApp for years.
I’ve worked on a few projects with Em and in all honesty, I’m still not 100% sure what she does for a living, but she’s probably pretty decent at it.
Rob
BIG HEAD BIG HEAD BIG HEAD
I’m Rob. I was born in 1974 and grew up in the north east of England.
In the extremely unlikely event of my ever writing an autobiography, those two sentences would be it for the early years section. No one likes the first half of autobiographies, do they? Yeah, yeah, you went to school, daddy didn’t give you enough hugs. Yawning emoji. Just skip to the bit where you climbed Everest/invented biscuits/released an era-defining album.
Speaking of which, I love music. I spent 15 years talking about it on the radio, then switched to making videos and other stuff for people (“content”, as the kids say). I play the piano pretty well, the guitar pretty loudly, and can’t sing for shit.
After stints in Dorset, Yorkshire, Derbyshire, the West Mids and London, I’ve ended up in Bedfordshire and am now frankly too tired to rectify that.
I live with my wife, daughter and dog.
