Hello, are you doing? I'm Craig Parkinson. You are listening to the two-shot podcast.

Sit yourself down, pop the kettle on. We're going to have a nice old chat.

Who's in with this week? I'm going to tell you right now.

How the devil are you? Yeah, it's not the Thursday. It's Friday.

Why is it Friday Craig? Because I've been busy. No, not because of that other podcast.

I've been filming and it's just been difficult pending down guests. How are you? Are you well?

Are you okay? I guess what? I got a text this morning.

Dear Mr. Parkinson, we would like to invite you for your first vaccine job.

Yes, please. So tomorrow, Saturday morning, I'll get my first job. I'm not going to post a photo. It's fine.

I'm pleased that everybody's getting the job, but no, I'm going to do that. But yeah, I was really, really thrilled by that.

Also, myself and Griff are in very immediate talks about getting out on the road, not in a like-astic course. That's not going to happen.

What about meeting up myself and him and a guest and recording live in person, the three of us.

And it's going to be a beautiful thing. And if I'm right, I think that's going to be happening within the next three weeks.

And hopefully you'll hear a difference. You'll hear. I mean, I hope you haven't heard too much of a difference with it remotely.

But it's going to mean the world to myself and producer Griff to be back right in front and seeing the eyes of people and offering them a cup of tea at a distance, of course.

So this week, it's, it's, it's an incredible conversation. Of course, it is.

But you know how during a lockdown, people have been saying, oh, I've been, I've been tinkering, I've been writing this, I've been learning this, I've been, I got in touch with a friend of mine, in touch.

I'm constantly into that. But she squirreled away and wrote a play. She wrote a play.

And it's been produced and performed and it's on. And it's a deeply, deeply personal journey. And she basically, it's Julie Campbell. It's my friend, Julie Campbell.

And she trained as an actor and then decided that this wasn't the path that she wanted to go down. And for years, years, years, she did something else. And then all of a sudden she decided this is going to write a play.

It's about that journey. So it's about a creative journey and about where she was and where she is now.

And I think it's a really important discussion. And plus she's a fucking great laugh. And one of my bestest friends in the world. And I'm not just plug in her. I think you can really really enjoy this.
