The Two Shot Podcast

Happy new year folks!  As we celebrate the start of a new year we also celebrate the end of the TSP journey. What a 6 year journey it’s been! We’ve loved every second.  How do we end it though? We couldn’t just record another episode. It had to be special. It had to mean something. How do we do that?  We thought long and hard and then we decided to end it at the start.  As you remember our very fi...

As we reach the end of it seems only right to furnish you all with another episode in the same week.  Welcome to the penultimate TSP episode and this one has been long in the making.  This week we welcome writer & show runner Cash Carraway.  Craig and Cash were in touch 4 years ago to try and arrange and time and date for Cash to come on and talk…..turns out the perfect time and date is now!  Cash...

Another Week, another podcast, but only for so long. This week Craig decides to head back down to the beach at dusk. As the day becomes night he wanders on a darkening beach to have a chat and welcome this weeks guest. It’s only stand up, 8 out of 10 cats favourite and top ‘podder’ JOE WILKINSON! You’ll also know Joe’s work as an actor, his work on the brilliant comedy HIM & HER really made us all...

How we doing gang? Keeping cosy as the night draws in even quicker? We hope so. After last weeks cracking conversation with Neil Forsyth, we leave deepest Soho and head out of London to sit down with acclaimed actor, award winning fighter (more of that in the episode) and all round good bloke, Warren Brown.  You’ll be familiar with Warren’s work on television over the years: Hollyoaks, Good Cop, T...

Well, here we go. It’s the beginning of the end. The last ever 6 episodes is upon us.  Our next 6 weeks together are going to be brilliant. A time to reflect but also embrace so let’s do that and welcome the incredible Neil Forsyth. Neil is an astonishing author and writer of so many things. You’ve seen the award winning TV show Guilt (with past TSP guest Mark Bonnar)? That’s his. The incredible B...
