EP.143 - RACHEL BLOOM

Adam talks with American actor, writer, singer, songwriter and producer, Rachel Bloom about growing up a theatre nerd in California, why the fourth series of The Crown triggered me, whether Americans are better at doing British accents than British people are at doing American accents and how Rachel navigated 2020 with her particular challenges including the birth of her first child and the death of her friend and musical collaborator Adam Schlesinger.

I WANT TO BE WHERE THE NORMAL PEOPLE ARE by RACHEL BLOOM (2020, AUDIOBOOK ON AUDIBLE)

(AUDIBLE BLURB) In a collection of laugh-out-loud funny essays, all told in the unique voice (sometimes singing voice) that made her a star, Rachel writes about everything from her love of Disney, OCD and depression, weirdness and female friendships to the story of how she didn't poop in the toilet until she was four years old. It's a hilarious, smart and infinitely relatable collection (except for the pooping thing).

EP.142 - BENJAMIN ZEPHANIAH

Adam talk with British poet, writer and musician Benjamin Zephaniah

PLEASE BE AWARE: During the first 10 minutes of our conversation Benjamin told me about some relatives suffering with the effects of COVID and included some details that may be upsetting to hear for people who have lost loved ones to the disease. So if you're worried, skip past those first ten minutes and you should be OK. It's not all pandemic chat though - mainly Benjamin describes fascinatingly how managed to make the transition from angry young criminal to internationally celebrated writer.
