The Two Shot Podcast

Hiyer. How goes it? Hope you're good this week. We are. We've done a load of podcast recording. And the first one we're gonna share with you is this absolute beaut featuring the incredible voice of actor Mark Strong. You'll know Mark from loads of stuff. You might've seen him very recently in in Sky One's Temple alongside Craig and previous TSP guest Danny Mays. He's been in loads of other stuff i...

Hello Two Shot Podcast listeners. It's that time of the week again where we bring you a slice of chat-based audio loveliness and this week it's the turn of Lancastrian poet, author and Broadcaster Lemn Sissay (OBE). Craig went along on his own to meet Lemn in a hotel in Manchester with his trusty audio recorder and they got into it. Lemn recounts us with tales of his childhood, growing up in the c...

What’s the story Two Shot Podcast listeners? We’re here with another podcast. It’s with Derry Girls’ superstar Nicola Coughlan. We met up with Nicola a few weeks ago now; back in the London summer. It was a really lovely afternoon so I think we eschewed our usual brews for a pint each and got down to it. We talk mad tattoos, Basquiat, Derry Girls Murals, Galway, the frustrations of academia and to...

Hiyer. How are ya? Hope you're alright this week. Don't really know what say about this one. It's sad, and brutal, but incredibly honest. For anyone who has experienced grief that they haven't fully processed, it's all too relatable. This week's guest is the amazing human Jill Halfpenny. You might know Jill from Coronations Street, Eastenders or Waterloo Road, or, for those of you that remember th...

What's happening mates! Hope you are all in a good place this week. It's episode ninety four with none other than Gaz Coombes. You'll know loads of Gaz's tunes. His new single Salamander is getting a load of radio play on 6Music. He's been putting out banging records for about 25 years under both his own name and with his group Supergrass. We met Gaz outside Maison Bertaux in Soho on a very sunny...

Alreet. Hope you're well. We're here again with another podcast for you. And this week we're joined by an artistic polymath by the name of Jessie Cave. Jessie is a writer, standup comic, actor, illustrator and all round creative whirlwind. We sit down with her and hear her tales of love, loss, grief, struggle, comedy and Harry Potter. She's a unique and fantastically strong woman who is currently...

Peace be with you TSP listeners. It's a special Sunday release of the podcast. Last weekend we were at Kendal Calling festival. It was the Friday, before the entire site turned into brown shiny slime. We were set up in Tim Peaks diner along with a couple of hundred tightly packed pals. The extra security was in place and we all awaited the arrival of some real funk royalty. When Nile Rodgers rolle...

Hiyer. It's the British summer (apparently) and that means it's festival season. We went up to the beautiful Lowther deer park, got our culturally appropriative head-dresses on and recorded two banging episodes, which means it's double-dose week on the Two Shot Podcast. First up, in our usual Thursday morning slot, we have Sheffield's own power couple, John and Laura McClure from Reverend And The...

Hello Two Shot Podcast listeners. Lovely of you to join us this week for our second in the ongoing series of "Al Fresco" TSP recordings. This week, we've had a sit down (in the park) with the absolutely hilarious Glenn Wool. Glenn is a Canadian comic who we first met in Manchester after the podcast festival last year. He was completely charming and we did our best to get him to come and have a cha...

Another day, another podcast. But not just any podcast! This one is with the absolute legend Julie Hesmondhalgh! We've had our fair share of folk from 'up north' on Two Shot over the past few years but for my money, Julie takes the prize for the most intensely Northern accent. Hailing from the Lancastrian town of Accrington, Julie has been on our screens for 20 odd years. You might know her from h...

Hello Two Shot Podcast listeners. Hope you're well. We've got a treat for you this week in the form of the iconic musician Joan As Police Woman. We went to the Hebden Bridge Trades Club to watch Joan and were lucky enough to grab half an hour to chat with her before the show. If you haven't already, go and acquaint yourself with Joan's music. She's got a brilliant anthology out at the moment that...

It seems like an age, but we’re back, rested and ready to fire up the mics and get back to doing what we do...We wanted someone very special to talk to for us coming back and getting down to business so when looking through a very large list of artists that we want to talk to, seeing where both myself and Griff would be in the country, the stars aligned. We found that we were in Manchester and gue...

Yo, yo, yo TSP listeners. How the devil are you and all that. This week is a little bit of a break from the norm whilst we're on our enforced jollies. Dunno if any of you have heard of program called Line of Duty...? It's on at the moment and everyone under the sun is wondering how it's going to play out. You might even been familiar with one previous, devious baddy named DI "Dot" Cotton (It's Cra...

Hi Two Shot Podcast downloader. Hope you're well and good. This week we've got a chat with the comic stalwart Kevin Bishop. Kev has been splitting sides for most of his life now, moving between stage and screen with consummate ease. You'll know him from his childhood roles in Muppet's Treasure Island and Grange Hill, or from his Channel 4 comedy work one Star Stories and the Kevin Bishop Show. You...

Hiyer. How's it going? Happy Thursday. It's that Two Shot Podcast time of the week and on this episode we're talking to the brilliant Mike Jibson.

You may have seen him recently in his Olivier Award-winning performance in Hamilton or in the films The Lighthouse, Les Miserables and Star Wars or on t...

What's popping Two Shot Podcast listeners? How are you diddling? It's episode 84 time. We've got another fantastic guest for you this week in the form of the actor Anjli Mohnindra. You might know Anjli from Jed Mercurio's brilliant drama Bodyguard or from ITV's Dark Heart amongst a bunch of other stuff. We met her in Maison Bertaux on Greek Street on a spring-like day where after a brief discussio...

It's that Two Shot Podcast time of the week again and have we got a barrel of laughs for you this week (albeit a well-tempered and thoughtful barrel of laughs). It's the actor, writer and comedian Tom Davis! You might know Tom from his role as DI Sleet in Murder In Successville or alongside Romesh Ranganathan in Judge Romesh or from his work with Leigh Francis in Bo' Selecta and the Keith Lemon pr...

So here we are again... EPISODE 81. How’s your week been? Good? Not bad? Fair? Actually pretty bad? Well, put everything aside for a while and get in your podcast zone and do something for you. Forget about that email you have to send. Put down that phone and make that call later. Spend a little bit of time to listen to someone else’s story. Just for a while. It’s a funny thing. When booking guest...

Hiyer, how're you keeping? Decent we hope. Thanks for listening in to this, the eightieth episode of the Two Shot Podcast. This week we are joined by the infectiously lovely Jemima Rooper. We were back in our spiritual London home of Maison Bertaux this week. Jemima came and met us, we had a brew and really bloody nice chat. Jemima has been on our stages and screens for the best past of the last t...

Bonjour TSP listeners. Hope you're well as you read this. We've got an absolute treat for you this week in the shape of a chat with the enigmatic actor Tchéky Karyo. You may have seen Tchéky in his role of detective Julien Baptiste in The Missing and Baptiste or in such films as The Patriot, Goldeneye, Bad Boys and La Femme Nikita. He has an incredibly impressive resume, but this being the Two Sho...

Hello TSP listeners. Hope this episode finds you well. We've got a treat from north of the border this week in the shape of the wonderful actor Julie Graham. Craig and Julie had never met before but that didn't seem to stop them having a proper good chin-wag about life, camper vans, London, auditions and having a bit of a legend for a mum. You'll know Julie from The Bletchley Circle, Benidorm, She...

Hiyer. How are ya? Thanks for being here. It's very much appreciated. Remember when Notorious B.I.G. and Method Man dropped red-hot collab 'The What' over an impeccably produced Easy Mo Bee beat? Well what we've got here for episode 75 is the podcast equivalent. Well it's not really, but that is a dead good song. This week's guest is podcasting royalty. It's the multi award-winning Griefcast's ver...
