Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Hannah Murray: Listener Q+A
Q: Do you have any advice for someone who's life writing?
Set clear, limited writing sessions (about two hours a day), take breaks, avoid burning out, and remember that your voice is unique; don't rush your story and give yourself permission to step away when needed.
Hannah Murray: Listener Q+A
Q: Is there one moment from filming Skins that you wish you could go back and experience again?
Yes—the behind-the-scenes moment of driving through central Bristol with friends on a hot day, feeling like life was unusually cool and exciting, remains a standout memory that she would revisit.
