Summary

Happy weekend. Hope you've had one of those good weekend brekkies. We missed our usual Thursday slot but we thought we'd stick this un out fresh off the press. It's a lovely and long overdue catchup with Lancashire legend Julie Hesmondhalgh. Julie's written a new book about acting and it's brilliant. If you want to have a nosy then check out the excerpt that Craig mentions in the Guardian here. Craig and Julie sat down for a chat about what they've been up to since the last TSP chat. They meander through subjects such as cultural capital, not being a dickhead, fame, failure, casting, class, voices on the page and loads, loads more. It's a great way to start to your weekend. This is series ten, episode thirteen of the Two Shot Podcast with Julie Hesmondhalgh!
