Summary

We're back!! And so excited about this episode. Delving deep into the minds of our favourite people's deepest obsessions, this week we're joined by the inspiring Autumn de Wilde. The director of Emma (2020), and an iconic photographer responsible for some of our fave ever photos, is telling us about her obsession with the ultimate subject of all: obsession itself! We'll be chatting about a life spent obsessing, from spending her formative years convinced she has super powers yet to be unleashed on the world, to how her obsession with other people taught her to accept herself, the impact it has on her work, heartbreak, healing, and what she's learned about love, desire, and obsession along the way.

Every other week we'll be picking the brain of a different creative about something they admire that has nothing to do with how they generate their income.

0:59.0	and I have all those gorge conversations you'd usually have with your girlmate to a
1:03.3	sleepover. And at the end there's three recommendations to get you through lockdown. Which
1:07.7	we are back in again in the UK at least. Yeah. I just don't have the stamina to say
1:13.5	those long sentences anymore. Yeah, poor Olivia is feeling under the weather. Nothing to add.

1:28.6	because of lockdown anxiety, so we're doing really well over here, guys. Yeah, how is everyone out?
