Johnny Kalsi 'is one of the best-known Dhol players in the world, and rose to prominence as a former member of Transglobal Underground. He founded The Dhol Foundation in 1990 and is also a core member of the Afro Celt Sound System and The Imagined Village.' I'm also lucky to call him a friend having worked together for a few years now. He keeps me entertained with story after story, some of which he tells in this podcast.

As a big fan of Station 19, I was very excited to have the chance to speak with Tiffany and Melissa, the creators of the Station 19 20/20 podcast! Two down to earth people from opposite sides of the pond who came together to discuss all things Station 19.

We had a cracking chat about the show, their podcast, what they hope to see in Season 7, the Milan convention (and the upcoming Paris one), and more. So sit back, grab your favourite drink, and enjoy!

I had the chance to sit down and chat with Celeste, creator of the Instagram page 'Another Reading Nook'. Here, Celeste shares her recommendations, what she's reading at the moment, and her adorable dog, Bobbie.

We had a good chat about our favourite books, books that didn't quite grip us, and we fangirled over Cate Blanchett & Sarah Paulson!

I had the chance to chat with Max Mir, a director, writer, filmmaker, AD, and musician! A man of many talents!

'Max Mir began his filmmaking journey at the age of 8, making stop motion videos with his toys. He later started directing his own shorts, and even jumped into theatre for a while. After obtaining his BA degree at the Met Film School, Mir managed to present a short film during the Cannes Film Festival (out of competition), and has produced shorts that have been screened at Pinewood Studios London, and Raleigh Studios, Los Angeles. Having recently worked in HETV, Mir is now focused on creating his first television series'.

One of his films, Dead Funny, starring Josh Harvey (who came on this podcast a few episodes ago!) can be found here: https://vimeo.com/767242347 - definitely go and take a watch, it's so good! It's also off to Cannes Film Festival 2023 - how exciting!!!
