Summary

Like everyone else, Louis is at home but he’s using the lockdown to track down some high-profile people he’s been longing to talk to – they’re from all walks of life and on both sides of the Atlantic. Twenty years since his acclaimed When Louis Met... series began, this is Louis’s long-awaited return to the world of celebrity. In true Louis style, he will speak to a fascinating mix of the celebrated, the controversial and the mysterious – digging into the psyches of some of the biggest names in the US and the UK... now they’ve got a lot of time on their hands. The podcast will bring you up close to these characters and their wildly different life experiences – you’ll understand them just a little bit better. We might be far apart but maybe we're more connected than we think? Grounded with Louis Theroux is a Mindhouse production for BBC Radio 4
