  • Fun but insightful podcast

    Pip is a great interviewer, insightful in his questioning and allows conversation to flow naturally with his interviewees. The range of guests is impressive and it’s not the same cast of characters you often see working the podcast scene!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Armando Iannucci (The Death Of Stalin / In The Loop / Veep) • Friday Rewind
Q: How was it going from British politics to doing a Veep?
It didn't feel scary. Speaking to HBO, they were a little bit like working with the BBC maybe 10, 15 years ago where they just kind of approached you and let you get on with it.
Armando Iannucci (The Death Of Stalin / In The Loop / Veep) • Friday Rewind
Q: How was it to work with all of these characters, particularly when they are putting so much of themselves into each role?
I like to cast early, because we like to know who it is we're writing for.
Dissecting Disfluency (w/ Cherry Burns) #641
Q: How can people support those who stammer?
By being patient and understanding, allowing space for communication, and acknowledging that stammering does not correlate to nervousness.
Dissecting Disfluency (w/ Cherry Burns) #641
Q: What does it mean to stammer?
It's a speech impediment that involves getting caught up on words, often leading to disfluency; it is not considered a disability by many.
Adam Buxton: put on your conversation coat and find your talking hat (Adam Buxton Podcast / Buckle Up / I Love You, Byeee) #639
Q: How important is podcasting to your mental health?
Podcasting provides a necessary connection for Adam Buxton, helping with feelings of isolation and enhancing his mental health by promoting conversations.
