Hello how you doing I'm Craig Parkinson you are listening to the two-shot

podcast sit yourself down pop the cat along we're gonna have a nice old chat

who's in with this week I'm going to tell you right now. How the devil are you good? Are you keeping well and safe doing what you need to do from day to day

whether that's you know being stuck in the kitchen baking your banana bread or doing what I've

been doing this week which is homeschooling.

Cricki Let's just say that helping an 8-1-half-year-old with the maths is not my strong point. I be honest so a huge respect to all the teachers out there

yeah that's a solid graft to tell you

so if you are homeschooling, it's a bit of a shock to the first minute, but I hope you're having

fun whilst you're doing it.

I'm getting to grips with it a little bit more as the days go on. So what is going on?

I'll tell you what's going on last week. I got together and had a fantastic conversation which is this episode

episode 124 now if you have seen detectorists the brilliant comedy that was on BBC 4 with Mackenzie Crock and

Toby Jones and Rebecca Callard.

Or you've seen King Gary with Tom Davis on BBC 1, then you will know Laura Checkley.

Well you'll certainly know her acting style, but will you know her?

Well you will get to know it in a bit because we had a fantastic conversation last

week and it goes everywhere we talk about childhood, school, sexuality, being honest and true to yourself.

And, you know, I've said this before, it's always a bit of a roll of the dice

when you get guests on and you've never met before and you're not

meeting now. You're just having a conversation and you hit record and you go for it.

we really did and it was like sitting down and catching up with a very dear friend.

It was lovely, lovely conversation. I really cannot wait for you to hear it.
