Beyond Acting: The Creative World of Joseph Millson
Joseph Millson is a man of many talents. As an actor, his extraordinary versatility has taken him from Shakespeare's Macbeth to the streets of the East End and from period dramas to the world of a 00 British agent. Yet, as impressive as his acting career is, it represents only one facet of his creative life.
He is also an award-winning director, screenwriter, he's a memoirist, novelist, singer and coach. His new novella, Miller Rose Roberts, is just out. It's wonderful - would 100% recommend - and this is a fun, insightful, brutally honest, refreshing conversation with a truly humble, hilarious and super talented human being!

Paul Benney: Portrait Of An Artist
I'm excited to share with you my conversation with the eminent contemporary artist, portraitist, musician and thinker, Paul Benney. Paul's artwork spans genres from Neo-Expressionism to Photorealism.
His award- winning paintings are represented in major public collections around the world, including The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, The National Gallery of Australia, The National Portrait Gallery in London and even The Throne Room of Buckingham Palace. His portraits and contemporary works have been featured across television, radio and documentary programmes on all major international networks, earning him a reputation as one of the most distinguished contemporary artists working today.
Yet his creativity extends far beyond the canvas. A lifelong musician, he has recently written and released an album, Tree of Ghosts, adding another dimension to an already remarkable artistic journey.
This conversation is full of anecdotes, insights, warmth and humour covering the extraordinary life of one of our most talented yet humble creatives today. Not to be missed!

Connor Finch on Acting, Auditions, Trauma in Adolescence & Leading BOOKISH.
On the eve of the release of the second season of Mark Gatiss's acclaimed post-war detective drama Bookish, I'm delighted to share my conversation with one of its standout stars, Connor Finch. Connor plays Jack Blunt, a young man recently released from prison who finds employment with Gabriel Book, played by Mark Gatiss. As the series unfolds, the mystery surrounding Jack and his connection to Book becomes every bit as compelling as the murders they investigate together. Bookish is an absolute gem: beautifully acted, full of warmth and humanity, and packed with clever, twist-filled storytelling.
Connor is a remarkable talent with a hugely promising future ahead of him. It was a real pleasure to sit down with him for a candid and thoughtful conversation that explores his journey so far, the lessons he took from drama school, his approach to researching and building characters, and the significant mental health challenges that derailed his life in his mid-teens before he found a way back on track. As impressive off-screen as he is on it, Connor comes across as modest, insightful and genuinely lovely company. There are plenty of takeaways in this episode, whether you're an aspiring actor, someone navigating your own challenges, or simply a fan of great television and great storytelling.
