Katherine has so far been joined by singer Sophie Ellis-Bextor, presenter Olivia Attwood, footballer Jill Scott, and in an upcoming episode Katie Price.
At London's SXSW festival, she joked: 'I love people who overshare, it does not surprise me.
"Now people stop me on the street to tell me about their divorces.
'But I was shocked to learn we had crackheads on the podcast.
"We had so many celebs, especially famous in the Nineties, who would abuse drugs, and bounce back.'

It feels good to the cast
They get up close and personal in the TV adaptation of Paris Lees's memoir What It Feels Like For A Girl, but it wasn't hard for the BBC Three show's cast to get along.
Lead actor Ellis Howard has revealed he and his co-stars, including Michael Socha and Hannah Walters, hit it off from the get-go.

At the SXSW festival Ellis said: 'It started in the final round of casting.
"I walked in and [co-star] Laquarn Lewis was in an Anne Summers one-piece with his arse hanging out.
"Then Hannah Jones walked over in eight-inch heels, and I was like, 'What the f***ing hell? It's ten in the morning in Walthamstow'.
'They crashed into my life, but it felt like something was hot-wired in my brain, like I'd been searching my whole life for a connection, and I did with these two.'
Laquarn, who plays Lady Di, added: 'We support each other 24/7, though [in] the WhatsApp group, I'm on 'Do Not Disturb' at the minute!'
What It Feels Like For A Girl is on BBC iPlayer now.
Filming has started on new legal drama Pierre, starring David Harewood.
