This show is the light at the end of the tunnel for anyone in the industry. It keeps you going!
Must listen
It’s so good, they ask all the questions you want them to, incredible artists and filmmakers given lots of space to go into detail about their work and process. Fascinating, compelling and really daft jokes thrown in for good measure. Highly recommended
