    How the devil are you? Thank you so, so much downloading. Things good? Things not so good? Well put all that aside for an hour or so and let's dive into the world of KARL PILKINGTON.  We announced that Karl would be joining us on Monday, as we always do (what? You don't know that? Check your social media!) and since then anticipation has been building for episode 55 and to hear more of what makes Karl, well... Karl.  Craig & Producer Griff travelled south (London's soho to be exact) to meet Karl at the hotel he was staying in. Tea was ordered, microphones were set up and we hit the record button.   It's a bit of a podcast of two halves this really. Craig and Karl start off by having a bit of a moan about all sorts of stuff (well, it was quite early in the morning) and then just before it turns into a full whinge about the state of everything they think is wrong, it's a hand brake turn into Karl's life and his past and what's happening right now. Actually while you're here... what's happening right now is this: https://www.skygroup.sky/corporate/media-centre/articles/en-gb/meet-karl-in-first-look-trailer-for-new-sky-one-comedy-sick-of-it Karl's done with all his travel show stuff and now he heads into sitcom territory with a show cowritten by himself and long term collaborator RICHARD YEE. 'SICK OF IT' starts sept 27th at 10pm on Sky 1 & NOW TV. And before you ask, no, we havnt been sponsored by Sky One. We just like Karl and happen to think his show is dead, dead good. Oh, and there may be a TSP connection for the very first episode of his show... Hmmm. It's a very, very entertaining episode that we loved recording. Karl is an absolutely brilliant fella to spend time some time with, so sit yourself down and strap yourself in.  Really hope you enjoy.  THIS IS EPISODE 55 OF THE TWO SHOT PODCAST WITH KARL PILKINGTON. Get in touch...

    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... not to mention sharing those to the world!This year we won a British podcast award (We told you right?). We’re so honoured that TSP got recognised alongside so many other podcasts that we love. Do go listen to the many podcasts that made the list as they will all find a place that in your podcast library, we’re sure. As we say goodbye to 2018, it’s fitting we end as we started the year...on a high. We couldn’t think of anyone better to see us out than the brilliant human that is JODIE COMER. Craig & Producer Griff met in London (Earl’s Court) to meet up with Jodie and get their podcast on. It was Jodie’s very first podcast! We’re always so honoured when people want TSP to be their first podcast outing. We don’t think this will disappoint ONE. BIT. You'll know Jodie from her show-stealing depiction of Villanelle in Phoebe Waller-Bridge's incredible Killing Eve alongside Sandra Oh and former TSP guest Susan Lynch.You might also have seen her in The White Princess, My Mad Fat Diary, Doctor Foster, Thirteen and loads of other stuff. If you’re a big fan of Jodie, then after this episode you’ll be a colossal fan. She’s absolutely ace. What a perfect way to send off the year. Thank you all so much for an ace 2018.  Have a beautiful Christmas. All our peace and love for the new year.

    Joseph Gilgun (Part 2)

    This week we're celebrating some of the talented past TSP guests who've been recognised at this year's BAFTAs. This episode with Joe Gilgun first aired February 28th 2019 Nah then. How are you keeping? We've got another sequel for you this week. It's the return of one of Chorley's finest exports Mr. Joseph Gilgun! We chatted to Joe way, way back in 2017 (click here to listen) and the feedback we got from that episode was incredible. Joe doesn't do too many interviews so having the opportunity to sit down again and record was a real honour. When we spoke to Joe, he'd just wrapped from a hectic shoot on his own creation; the soon to be released series Brassic. He was just readying himself to travel halfway across the world to start shooting the next series of AMC's Preacher - A brutal schedule by anyone's reckoning. The episode finds him wrestling with his emotions. The brutality and honesty of his self-analysis is sometimes startling but they shine so much light on the human condition, it's impossible not to be completely won over. His unfiltered passion and storytelling ability is nothing short of spellbinding and the anecdotes are typically hilarious. It's a beautiful episode that we're so proud to be able to bring you.This is episode 78 of the Two Shot Podcast with Joseph Gilgun. Get in touch...

    This week we're celebrating some of the talented, past TSP guests who've been recognised at this year's BAFTAs. This episode with Joseph Gilgun first aired September 14th 2017. Alright. How’s it going? Thanks loads for downloading and listening.  Here we at our tenth episode. La Decima! We’ve got something special for you this week...  it’s a Two Shot Podcast chat with the one and only Joseph Gilgun. You might know him as Woody from Shane Meadow's This is England, As Rudy Wade in Misfits alongside our host Craig, as Eli Dingle in ITV's Emmerdale, or morer recently as Cassidy in AMC's Preacher. Joe is a special character. A rakish raconteur with a passion for making people piss their pants laughing. He wears his feelings on his sleeve and his disarming honesty and endearing vulnerability really make this an unmissable episode. We talk about drama school, dyslexia, family, anxieties and growing up in a Lancashire town. It’s a wonderfully frank hour or so and if there’s not at least one moment that doesn’t make you laugh out loud then we’ll give you your money back. Enjoy. It’s Two Shot Pod number ten with Joseph Gilgun.  We're a brand new podcast and need all the help we can get to get our episodes heard. Please tell your friends about us IRL and help spread the word on the internet, give us a rating or a 'like' on here if you enjoy what you hear, and subscribe to stay update with future episodes.

    Another Week, another podcast, but only for so long. This week Craig decides to head back down to the beach at dusk. As the day becomes night he wanders on a darkening beach to have a chat and welcome this weeks guest. It’s only stand up, 8 out of 10 cats favourite and top ‘podder’ JOE WILKINSON! You’ll also know Joe’s work as an actor, his work on the brilliant comedy HIM & HER really made us all take notice. As a writer, he’s collaborated with his comedy partner David Earl to create the much loved shows THE COCKFIELDS and ROVERS His work with David Earl continues 3 days a week as they co host the fantastic podcast CHATABIX podcast. What? You don’t listen? Get on it. It’s very funny and they have some incredible guests on. We highly recommend you make that part of your podcast library…after we’ve gone, of course. As Craig and Joe live near each other, CP popped the kettle on and Joe came knocking. Luckily for Joe, Craig was at home and answered the door. Once the brews were in hand they hit record and let it all flow. This is one of those classic TSP’s where two people have never met before... but you wouldn’t think it when listening. It’s a great natter and you’ll really get a handle on who Joe is. We’ve all seen his brilliant character persona, either on stage performing stand up or stealing the show from Jimmy Carr and his guests on 8 out of 10 cats, now lets get to know the real Joe Wilkinson. One more thing! Joe is now an author! He’s collaborated with his friend Henry Paker on JOE WILKINSON: My (illustrated) Autobiography. As ever with an artist like Joe, all is not what it seems with this book, apart from it being very funny indeed. Go check it out at your local book shop.  This is the TWO SHOT PODCAST with the incomparable JOE WILKINSON. We really think you’re going to love this one.

Anyway, hope you're enjoying the British sunny snap, and if you're not in Britain, then I hope the weather where you are is equally clement. Weather chat done. Welcome to series 10! We've got an absolute banger to kick off with too. It's a lovely chat with Emma Appleton. She's a fantastic actress who you may have seen playing Nancy recently in Danny Boyle's 'Pistol'.

This is a fabulous hour and a bit with Emma and Craig touching on all sorts; The intensity of London, corn exchanges, unsupportive teachers, modelling and creative fulfilment, the sex pistols, power and planning, and loads, loads more.

This week on the podcast we are blessed with the company of artistic polymath Jacob Anderson; nom de plume Raleigh Ritchie. You'll have seen Jacob as Grey Worm in HBO's Game Of Thrones, alongside previous TSP guests on Broadchurch, in BBC2's Episodes, and in loads of theatrical productions.
