Hiyer. How are ya? It's that Two Shot Podcast time of the week again and we've got a right lovely chat for you with the fabbo Rakie Ayola.

100 N/O. Not a bad innings that is it? Thanks for joining us this week. It's only our hundredth bloody episode. Thanks a load to everyone who's listened, shared, sponsored, recommended and generally made us feel lovely about the podcast. It's really, really appreciated. On to our guest... It's flipping Martin Compston. We've been talking about sitting down with Martin ever since the very first episode with his Line Of Duty co-star Vicky McClure all that time ago. It seemed very appropriate to mark

2019/09/26

Tonight we’re gonna party like it’s episode 99 (that loosely works doesn’t it??). This week we’re joined by the hilarious Sinead Keenan. You might’ve seen her very recently in ITV’s Deep Water, or in BBC Three’s Being Human. Irish listeners may have seen her in RTE’s Fair City. We sat down with her in Soho and hear about the origins of her potty mouth, her grandparent’s ejection from an am-dram group for unruly behaviour, touching Mother Teresa, being listened to by an audience. Sinead is

S05E13 - Lemn Sissay

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2019/09/12

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 care system, finding his people, anger and loads, loads more. It's a humorous and affecting hour or so

S05E12 - Nicola Coughlan

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2019/09/05

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 tonnes more. Nicola is class. She’s an absolute whirlwind of tales and she’s mint on social media. Do your

S05E11 - Jill Halfpenny

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2019/08/22

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 the early days of Byker Grove, she played Nicola Dobson throughout her teenage years. We sat down with

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 day in July. We had a brew and a chat and we recorded it so you can have a listen too. It's a lovely

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.

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2019/08/04

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 rolled up, I don't think any of us could believe it was happening but we had the absolute pleasure of sitting

S05E07 - Laura and Jon McClure (Reverend And The Makers)

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2019/08/01

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 Makers. We've spoken to Jon before on #TSP051 but we thought we'd invite him back on with his partner

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 chat with us before he headed off back to Canada. We met him in Soho Square, tried to find a position on

S05E05 - Julie Hesmondhalgh

The Two Shot Podcast ·

2019/07/18

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 her iconic portrayal of Hayley Cropper in Coronation Street or more recently in Broadchurch, Happy

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 is a great place to start and if you're a fan, go and catch her on tour. She's about. Tour dates

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 guess who else was nearby... The magnificent MORVEN CHRISTIE!!!!! As you’ll hear near the start, we’ve been

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 Craig Parkinson from the Two Shot Podcast if you haven't watched LOD).It turns out that we've spoken to
