Episode description
It’s finally here: the episode that attempts to tackle the immense subject that is being a working class actor in the industry. A historic episode indeed, as Megan and Jordan both shed actual, real tears on the pod.
The episode includes a dumb beginners (Jordan) guide to the class system, private school privilege, cosplaying the poor for funsies, talking proper and the horrifying statistics that make the dream seem impossible.
But it’s not all doom and gloom, we of course have to celebrate the actors who have made it despite the odds and the organisations working to bridge the gap for the working class talent of tomorrow. Megan and Jordan also reflect on the privileges (and subsequently cry) that have allowed them to keep flying the flag - after all, we owe ourselves the right to make it.
Tangents include Jordan’s apology video with tears, showing your agent the inside of your ear hole, and a celebrity on the doorstep.
Stay tuned to find out the incredible news of the friends of the pod and the Spotlight vs Equity beef ;)
