Hiyer Two Shot Pod pals. Hope you're all keeping well.We're back with another episode and this week we're talking to none other than the completely legendary Nicole Kidman!Craig dialled in to New South Wales to have a TSP chin wag with Nicole and they really got into it. They talk about her first forays into the acting world at the tender age of 14, her love of theatre and the trepidation she felt before treading the boards in the West End, traveling for work with her kids and close ones, the importance of drama school knowledge you were convinced you'd never need and loads, loads more.Nicole has done it all. From BMX Bandits (which Craig does bring up) to Batman, from To Die For to Moulin Rouge, she's one the greats of our time.The conversation starts with a bit of discussion about Nicole's most recent HBO project The Undoing which will be available on Sky Atlantic & NOW TV from 26 October. Craig is certainly on the edge of his seat to see the final episode. Nicole is a fabulous guest and we're sure you'll enjoy listening this, episode 136 of the Two Shot Podcast.Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast'Twitter- @twoshotpodInstagram- @twoshotpodIf 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.

Happy Thursday everyone (delete) *clears throatHappy FRIDAY everyone!  Hope you’re all doing ok?   Do you know what I can’t wait for?  Is to not say things like ‘ strange times, eh’ or ‘hope you’re all coping and getting through this the best you can’. Yeah, sick of that.   When I’m actually just asking how your week was will be a joyous moment.  Trust me, it’ll happen.  Keep the faith you beautiful mob.  For now, though, let’s keep the conversation going as it seems to be a comfort for us all doesn’t it?   We have another revisit this week in the shape of comedian & now fully legit author of an actual proper book, it’s the brilliant MATT FORDE...We sit down and discuss the pitfalls and parallels between writing stand up and the discipline needed to fit Matt to write his first book during such an unstable and unpleasant time.  His book, ‘Politically Homeless’ is available right now and it’s a beaut. Go support Matt and also your independent bookshop.  Keep safe. Keep well. Keep wearing that mask.  All the love.

How the devil you?  Good? Not great?  In a slight fug? Well, let’s just hit the pause button on that right now, just for an hour or so and let’s focus on someone else shall we? Let’s do that.  It’s Thursday so that means a new episode. Saying that, yes, I know we had a new episode this Tuesday but that was originally last Thursday’s episode but we couldn’t put it out due to an embargo so ....sorry, even we’re confused right now. Enough of that. We’re back on track and this week it’s a welcome return to past guest JIMMY AKINGBOLA & a very warm welcome to FRASER AYERS as they come to chat about making some TV history with the panel show ‘Sorry, I didn’t know’.  It’s a focus on inclusion and diversity and failing and ultimately succeeding and why they just won’t stop trying to break down doors.  Enjoy.Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast'Twitter- @twoshotpodInstagram- @twoshotpodIf 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.

Happy Thursday one and all.  Hope you’re all doing well and* if you’re in the UK keeping to your groups of 6 and not giving any weight to what certain Britpop stars are wanging on about. But enough of *that*.  Let’s not discuss it. It’s certainly something we don’t even touch on in this weeks episode because we're far too busy discussing creativity, growing up, moving around, writing and close knit families.  There's a small natter about Hayley's new C4 series ADULT MATERIAL* which is discomforting, groundbreaking, shocking and funny show that, on the surface, is a delve into the world of the adult entertainment business but as the story storms on raises questions about motherhood and injustice and power.  It’s an incredible watch with Hayley ( once again) showing incredible skills as the lead character and Lucy Kirkwood’s incredible script keeps us asking questions as an audience right till the end....and long after.  Of course, you’ll have seen Hayley burst into the screen in her award winning breakthrough performance in Ken Loach’s ‘ I, Daniel Blake’ but here on TSP we get to discuss all the important things with Hayley.  You know the drill.  We really hope you enjoy this incredible episode.  Thrilled that Hayley made time for us. You will not be disappointed. Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast'Twitter- @twoshotpodInstagram- @twoshotpodIf 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.

#TSP132 - April Pearson

Hi there TSP listening people. Bit of a different one this week. To mark World Suicide Prevention day, we've taken a slight detour from the norm to talk to two people about a pretty weighty film and some pretty weighty subjects. We shouldn't really go too much further without mentioning that this episode comes with some trigger warnings. There's a lot of discussion about, and descriptions of, suicide. If you're not feeling like you're in a headspace where you can deal with that then it might be wise to give this one a miss.Anyway, this week, Craig is talking to Cristian Solimeno and Tania Bruce, both of whom are heavily involved with fantastic film 'I Made This For You'. You can watch it for free here on YouTube -https://youtu.be/SWLhoUr2vCMWe won't say too much more about this ep, but if you are affected by the subjects mentioned please seek help through the following resources - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/suicide/Let's keep talking - TSPX  See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Happy Thursday listeners. We’ve back with another banger of an episode, and this week our guest is Samantha Morton. Craig and Sam had been trying to to make this recording work for an absolute age and whilst the current lockdown is in many ways shit, it does afford some people a bit of extra free time to get together for a TSP chinwag. Craig dialled in via the inter web earlier this week and got into it.Samantha is one of the finest actors of a generation with a load of amazing directorial credits to her name too. You might know her from Synechdoche, New York, Minority Report, Emma, Jane Eyre or more recently Harlots and The Walking Dead. She and Craig discuss her time in foster care, raves at the Marcus Garvey centre in Lenton, moving house, having a stroke, schoolyard violence, family life and loads, loads more.She’s a fabulously open person with a fascinating outlook on life and we’re sure you’ll be completely captivated.This is episode 129 with Samantha Morton.
