Alreet. Hope you're well. We're here again with another podcast for you. And this week we're joined by an artistic polymath by the name of Jessie Cave. Jessie is a writer, standup comic, actor, illustrator and all round creative whirlwind. We sit down with her and hear her tales of love, loss, grief, struggle, comedy and Harry Potter. She's a unique and fantastically strong woman who is currently up in Edinburgh with her brilliant show Sunrise (tickets here). You might well have caught her at one of her many other comedy shows in London and Edinburgh or as Lavender Brown in the Harry Potter films. It was an amazing hour spent in her company and we hope it brings you some hope or perspective or solace.This is episode 93 of the Two Shot Podcast with Jessie Cave.Trigger warning - This week's episode deals with some pretty raw stuff around the loss of family members. If you're feeling a bit raw then maybe wait until you're in a better place before listening. Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast' Twitter- @twoshotpod Instagram- @twoshotpod If you've enjoyed listening then please click through to https://www.patreon.com/twoshotpod to make a donation to the running costs of the show.

Peace be with you TSP listeners. It's a special Sunday release of the podcast. Last weekend we were at Kendal Calling festival. It was the Friday, before the entire site turned into brown shiny slime. We were set up in Tim Peaks diner along with a couple of hundred tightly packed pals. The extra security was in place and we all awaited the arrival of some real funk royalty. When Nile Rodgers rolled up, I don't think any of us could believe it was happening but we had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with him and being regaled by his stories of Grace Jones, Sesame Street, guitar technique, getting sacked by Shakira and many others.You'll definitely know at least ten songs with Nile's fingerprints on em. He's written and produced for the likes of Madonna, Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, David Bowie, Duran Duran, Daft Punk and Pharrell Williams, The B-52s, as well as his own incredible Chic project. The guy is an absolute boss and we're honoured to have him sit down with us. Big thanks to all those that made this happen at Kendal Calling and the illustrious question askers. This is episode 92 with Nile Rodgers!Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast' Twitter- @twoshotpod Instagram- @twoshotpod If you've enjoyed listening then please click through to https://www.patreon.com/twoshotpod to make a donation to the running costs of the show.

Hiyer. It's the British summer (apparently) and that means it's festival season. We went up to the beautiful Lowther deer park, got our culturally appropriative head-dresses on and recorded two banging episodes, which means it's double-dose week on the Two Shot Podcast. First up, in our usual Thursday morning slot, we have Sheffield's own power couple, John and Laura McClure from Reverend And The Makers. We've spoken to Jon before on #TSP051 but we thought we'd invite him back on with his partner Laura to discuss the ins and outs of being a band wife and husband, Rev-enders, tour decompression techniques, penis reviews and a bunch of other stuff. Reverend and the Makers are always out on tour soon so make sure you go and get a ticket and keep an eye out for the forthcoming 2-disc 'best-of', out soon on Cooking Vinyl records.This is a chat from down at the lakeside bar at Kendal Calling festival (forgive the distant drums). Hope you enjoy and we'll be back on Sunday for a chat with Chic's legendary Nile Rodgers.Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast' Twitter- @twoshotpod Instagram- @twoshotpod If you've enjoyed listening then please click through to https://www.patreon.com/twoshotpod to make a donation to the running costs of the show.

Hello Two Shot Podcast listeners. Lovely of you to join us this week for our second in the ongoing series of "Al Fresco" TSP recordings. This week, we've had a sit down (in the park) with the absolutely hilarious Glenn Wool. Glenn is a Canadian comic who we first met in Manchester after the podcast festival last year. He was completely charming and we did our best to get him to come and have a chat with us before he headed off back to Canada. We met him in Soho Square, tried to find a position on the grass that wasn't excruciatingly painful to sit in and we got down to it. We talk, comedy, love, romance and Canadian mounties amongst a load of other stuff. This is episode 90 of the Two Shot Podcast with Glenn Wool. Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast' Twitter- @twoshotpod Instagram- @twoshotpod If you've enjoyed listening then please click through to https://www.patreon.com/twoshotpod to make a donation to the running costs of the show.

Another day, another podcast. But not just any podcast! This one is with the absolute legend Julie Hesmondhalgh! We've had our fair share of folk from 'up north' on Two Shot over the past few years but for my money, Julie takes the prize for the most intensely Northern accent. Hailing from the Lancastrian town of Accrington, Julie has been on our screens for 20 odd years. You might know her from her iconic portrayal of Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street or more recently in Broadchurch, Happy Valley, Peterloo or Black Roses, as well as many theatrical performances. We met up with Julie in Maison Bertaux in Soho and chatted about retro booze, social issues, Accy, trans visibility, tiredness (or lack thereof) and loads, loads more. Get a brew on, a proper one and have a listen to this, the 89th episode of the Two Shot Podcast with the wonderful Julie Hesmondhalgh. Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast' Twitter- @twoshotpod Instagram- @twoshotpod If you've enjoyed listening then please click through to https://www.patreon.com/twoshotpod to make a donation to the running costs of the show.

Poppy Miller, Kate Ashfield, Lisa Palfrey as well as the six you're going to hear from today.

Hiyer. How's it going? Happy Thursday. It's that Two Shot Podcast time of the week and on this episode we're talking to the brilliant Mike Jibson. Mike is a real acting polymath, moving effortlessly between stage, the silver screen and television. You may have seen him recently in his Olivier Award-winning performance in Hamilton or in the films The Lighthouse, Les Miserables and Star Wars or on the telly in The Last Kingdom. Mike is a passionately honest person with an absolute devotion to his art. His approach to his own mental health and overcoming his obstacles is absolutely inspiring. He and Craig talk childhood inspiration, first-day anxiety, brain farts and calling Hull home. It's a great hour or so and we can't thank Mike enough for coming on and sharing his story with us. There's a bit of a service announcement in the intro this week so keep your ears open for that. If you want a TSP badge then have a listen here and see how you can get one.If you enjoy the podcast and want to donate we'd absolutely love that!
