Here we are again, and what a treat we have for you for our 74th episode. We’re always so chuffed when an episode connects with you. That can certainly be said for last year's STEVE EVETS episode. We had a feeling there was more to discover with Steve and decided to go back up North and meet with him again. We were not disappointed and neither will you be. If you’ve not heard Steve’s first episode then we urge you to go back and listen before you give this one spin. We pick up the podcast pretty...

What's good TSP listeners? You are now tuned into the sound of the Two Shot Podcast and have we got a cracker of an episode for you today. It's a chat with the one and only Olivia Cooke! Liv joined us in an exceedingly retro hotel in Earl's Court and we had a proper good hour or two discussing her journey to becoming the actor and person that she is today. She and Craig talk growing up in Oldham, working in America, battling demons, therapy, levels of misbehaviour in high school, and loads, load...

How the devil are you? Keeping out that winter chill? Well, we’ve got something to warm you up. It’s EPISODE 72; a beautiful natter with the extraordinary EILEEN WALSH. She’s ace. Craig & Griff met Eileen in London direct from a spin class (Eileen’s NOT Craig or Griff’s) and they hit record and began the conversation. It was one of those recording days when the winter cold hit Craig so there may be a few sneezes and tissue drops but that won’t hinder this fantastic talk as you get to know Ei...

So. One year ends. Another begins. What a year 2018 was. We started with Greg Mchugh. We went to festivals. We did some live shows. We met incredible people. We won an award. We travelled around the UK. We laughed. We cried. We were shocked. We were in awe. We were inspired. We ended 2018 with the fabulous Jodie Comer. A huge thank you to YOU for the love, support & for spreading the TSP word. This is episode 70 where we asked you for your moments. You let us know and we got 'em all together...

Well. Here we all are again. It’s episode 69. As this is our last episode of 2018 it seems only fitting to think about what an incredible year it’s been. We’ve been fortunate enough to sit down and meet so many extraordinary people who’ve been so open and so honest with sharing their stories. We wanted to thank each and every one of them. It isn’t an easy thing to come and meet up with (sometimes) strangers and discuss the deep, intimate parts of your life that can be, sometimes, very revealing....

What's good TSP listeners? Hope you're all feeling decent in these dark winter months. It's getting towards mid-December and we thought we'd invite you to snuggle down next to the podcast fire of episode 68. This week we were joined by top fella Jonjo O'Neill. Jonjo shared with us one of the most moving and spellbinding hours of podcast chat that we've ever been privy to. He's warm and candid and thoughtful and his story-telling and vocal tones are an absolute pleasure to listen to on this rolle...

Hello Two Shot Podcast listener people. Lovely of you to join us this week. Thank you. We've not got a full length chatty type episode this week, because honestly, we've run a week behind schedule. But rather than let you go without, we thought we'd bless your ears with this little slice of four-stringed joyousness that Craig happened across in a hotel in Lincolnshire. It's a lovely audio vignette that we hope brings 5 minutes of respite, pleasure and calm into your week. Can we please introduce...

Greetings Two Shot Pod listeners. Thanks a lot for joining us this week. We've had a sit down and brew and a cake with stand-up comic Brennan Reece! We travelled to Ziferblat in Manchester's Northern Quarter to meet Brennan, who was an absolute joy to be around. He's a affable type of guy who commands a room and can't resist an opportunity to bring a smile to your face. You might have seen Brennan doing his thing at the Edinburgh fringe or at one the comedy clubs he's had in stitches over the ye...

It's double drop week at the Two Shot Podcast and here's your second downloadable dose. It's time to ditch the prosaic and enter the lyrical world of Mr J.B. Barrington. J.B. is a proud Salfordian who speaks his drawl with pride. A poet by trade of the performance variety. He's got stories galore and Craig and Griff went over to the East Riding of Yorkshire to commit them to tape. If you've seen Reverend and the Makers live recently, or Sleaford Mods, you may have seen J.B. taming the lions in t...

Or even a scurn (that’ll make sense soon) and we got right into it. Jodie has been proper busy speaking to all sorts of press in the countdown to the DR WHO launch in Sheffield but she made time to come and meet Craig ...

Alright. Hope you're well. Nice one for getting onto this episode of the podcast. It's episode 54 and it's a beautiful chat with Bill Ryder-Jones. Bill is a musician from down the East Lancs road and if you've not already listened to his stuff then you're missing out. We'd recommend starting with with 'if...' which is an absolute masterpiece of jaw-dropping scale. 'West Kirby County Primary' is absolute class too. And have a look at his new video Mither here - Basically, listen to it all. It's a...
