Welcome to Getting Curious! I'm Jonathan Beness and every week I sit down for a 40-minute conversation with a brilliant expert to learn all about something that makes me curious.

On today's episode, I'm joined by stage and TV actress Avakit and friend, Nikola Cochlan, where I ask her,

what's it like to be a booked and busy Irish queen?

Welcome to Getting Curious! This is Jonathan Beness. I'm very excited for this week's episode because we have a very special guest.

And this is like a really exciting episode because it's kind of deaf. We have it. But you're say something that you think would maybe let people in on who you are.

Well, from Bill, my name is the reliance. You're from Dairy Care? Oh my god! That wasn't ready for you to jump out of me like that!

So most of you, if you do know who that is, that's gorgeous Nikola Cochlan from Netflix's Dairy Girls, which is also really in the United Kingdom and Ireland. So-and-so's Dairy Girls.

So Channel 4 started on. Yes. Is a Channel 4 show that Netflix bought it?

It's not. It is Netflix's. Yeah, and then we were filming series 2 and there was a Hollywood reporter article that was like,

it's going on Netflix in a week and we were like, that's weird. And then I came to New York with Louisa and met you there.

That was the weekend that that happened? It happened like two weeks before. But then we were there.

People everywhere we went, they knew who we were. The Harry Potter Weekend? Yeah, the Harry Potter Weekend.

But it was like, this is so crazy. In JFK, people came up to me straight away. I was like, this is so weird.

So that would-do you feel like that was the weekend where things were you were like, oh wow, this is such a big shift this week.

I think it-yeah, because you like-you get messages from all over, but then when you see actual human beings in another country that know who you are.

And I feel like people in New York were so nice. They go up and they're like, love your show. And they go in like, that's just so sweet. Thank you.

I think New York gets like a bad rep for that in the sense that like-

Yeah. I mean, you hear like, I'm not ever having really been from New York. I've been living in New York for a couple of years now.

I always thought that people would be, you know, based on movies and TV, like a little graph, a little like moving super quick.

Can you be like, hey, get at it.

Like they're gonna stop-

No, they're so nice.
