Hello, this is Everything Else, the FT Culture Podcast.

I'm Grizz.

And I'm Al.

First up, I'll be speaking to the actor Stephen Mangan.

And later, we'll be asking, what makes a great summer song?

And what is or was the sound of the heat wave?

So, Grizz is back from getting married.

Back to reality. How was it? It was great. It was wonderful.

It poured with rain on the Friday and the Sunday and Saturday was blue sky and blissful.

So we were very lucky.

However, I was pretty gutted to, on my honeymoon, miss the interview you did while I was away.

So you should be.

I mean, an interview with Stephen Mangan is better than a honeymoon in Italy. No, Stephen Mangan, he's a personal hero of mine.

More than a hero. Al, you tell me, why did you want to interview him? Well, I think he's a

brilliant actor.

He's most famously a comic actor, but I'm not certain that he likes being pigeonholed as just that.

Listeners will have seen him in things like Green Wing, playing Bertie Worcester on stage with Matthew McFadion, who will be appearing later in the series.

He's a brilliant raconteur and a very, very talented person,

and he has his new comedy out at the moment called Hang Ups,

which is on Channel 4, in which we see him playing an online psychotherapist.

He does Skype sessions.
