Summary
Delving deep into the minds of our favourite people's deepest obsessions, this week we're joined by the ever-inspiring Miranda July. Miranda, Ione and Olivia will be discussing what everyday acting is, how we should all embody other people in our day-to-day lives, why role play infiltrates our everyday experiences, how men playing make believe is more accepted than women doing so, and much more. Also, watch Kajillionare! We love it so much and you will too.
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.
