0:00.0	Hello, I'm Craig Parkinson, and this is the two-shot podcast of The Catalan, the most dive-in.
0:08.0	How did I ever lie here? Yes, it's Thursday and we are back. This is the two-shot podcast,
0:32.0	and I'm Craig Parkinson. Now, I've got a question for you. How do you go from a working-class town in the
0:41.6	northwest of England to direct in Anosca winners words on Broadway via direct in hit shows in the
0:50.5	West End? Well, that's the question. I'm going to find the answer out in today's episode. More of that
0:57.3	in a sec. Back to last week, I knew it. I knew the free version was going to be a big hit with you.
1:05.3	What did I tell you? You were right. It was one of those episodes where you and you said it yourself
1:12.3	on social media and messages that we've had it felt like two old friends catching up and having
1:19.0	a laugh, and that is what it's all about. It was perfect. Now, speaking of friends, today's episode
1:26.2	is with the actor and director Matthew Dunster. I first met Matthew about seven years ago. Now,
1:35.2	he directed me in Martin with Donner's play, Hangman, in London alongside past TSP, favorite guest,
1:44.0	Mr David Morrissey, Mr Andy Neiman, and look, I'm very often in it, but while I mentioned

2:01.1	I'm going to be joining us in a few weeks. They have written a book, which I'm thoroughly
2:05.4	enjoying at the moment. It comes out on April 13th. It's called The Warlock Effect. We're going to
2:10.3	sit down with those two geniuses and chat about how you write a book together. So I'm really looking
2:17.6	forward to sitting down with Andy. We're going to go back into his magical cave in London,
2:24.0	and our grocery looking forward to it, as I and you will be too. So today's episode, yeah,
2:30.8	I first met Matthew when he directed me all those years ago. I've watched him on for ages.
2:37.7	He's quite unique in the way that he directs, and who he stands up for,
2:46.6	and what he says. He's not backwards or coming forwards, and I've always loved that about him.
2:51.7	So let's get down to it. This is the two-shot podcast with The Brilliant, Mr Matthew Dunstaff.
