Once Upon a Time is a weekly interview podcast where celebrated guests reveal their life stories through the stories that shaped them — in all their forms. Each episode, hosts Scott Brown, Jamie Love, and David Ames sit down with a fascinating guest and ask them to share three stories that changed their life. A story might be a novel, a play, a piece of music, a fashion show, a Greek myth, or a folk tale passed down through generations.

Scott Brown is an author, reader, and self-confessed bibliophile. His debut spy thriller, The State of Old England, is being published in 2026.

David Ames is an actor best known for his roles as Dominic Copeland in Holby City and Carter Shepherd in Hollyoaks, with credits spanning Doctor Who, The Madame Blanc Mysteries, and Changing Ends.

Jamie Love is the founder and CEO of Monumental, a multi-award-winning growth marketing agency, and a prominent LGBTQ+ activist and Marketing Director of Pride Edinburgh.

Once Upon a time is produced by Bermondsey studios, a London based production company.
