Nicholas Galitzine Interview

Thank you so much for grabbing time with one of my favourite actors in the world. Nick always comes across as so down to earth and humble and your interview allowed him to continue to be both. Great questions, which allowed me to learn lots I didn’t know about Nick. I’ve watched all of Mary and George and I hope he gets as much recognition for this role as he wants Tony Curran to have. So excited to see where Nick goes beyond The Idea of You and I’ll be watching with interest.

Lovely listen!

Really enjoy the guests, hearing about their lives and behind the scenes! Would recommend a listen.

Annoying woman presenter

Painful to listen to her inane drivel and annoying voice. And dissecting your guest afterwards is downright rude, even with copy and pasted compliments.
