    This is my current comfort listen and I’m so sad there isn’t hundreds and hundreds of episodes. Glad you plan on making it more reg! My personal favourites are the episodes where you’re just chatting about different topics/shows/films rather than the interviews :)

Derren Brown reflects on The Heist 20 years on
Q: Is there anything that makes you nervous when you're on stage?

He notes the immense editing power and the pressure to come across as authentic, expressing relief at not being misrepresented and acknowledging the impact of edits on reputation.
