The last ever Two Shot Podcast - Craig chats with Vicky McClure

Happy new year folks!  As we celebrate the start of a new year we also celebrate the end of the TSP journey. What a 6 year journey it's been! We've loved every second.  How do we end it though? We couldn't just record another episode. It had to be special. It had to mean something. How do we do that?  We thought long and hard and then we decided to end it at the start.  As you remember our very first guest was the magnificent Vicky McClure so it would seem a full circle moment was in order. A bit of a different spin this time though.  If you've been with us for a while you'll know that one guest that keep getting asked for again and again is our host, Craig. So….. Craig asked Vicky if she'd be up for turning the tables so that Vicky would be the one asking the questions and Craig would be on the receiving end. Seems perfect right?  We think so.  Craig drove to Nottingham to meet Vicky and they recorded this very special ending at the brilliant Mount Street Studios. We hope you enjoy. Who knows, tears may be shed.  We just wanted to say a massive thank you to everyone that's supported us over the years, it's been a blast.  Until we speak again, all our love and gratitude to you and every guest that's given their free time to talk.  Craig & Griff Learn more about your ad choices.

Another Week, another podcast, but only for so long. This week Craig decides to head back down to the beach at dusk. As the day becomes night he wanders on a darkening beach to have a chat and welcome this weeks guest. It's only stand up, 8 out of 10 cats favourite and top ‘podder' JOE WILKINSON! You'll also know Joe's work as an actor, his work on the brilliant comedy HIM & HER really made us all take notice. As a writer, he's collaborated with his comedy partner David Earl to create the much loved shows THE COCKFIELDS and ROVERS His work with David Earl continues 3 days a week as they co host the fantastic podcast CHATABIX podcast. What? You don't listen? Get on it. It's very funny and they have some incredible guests on. We highly recommend you make that part of your podcast library…after we've gone, of course. As Craig and Joe live near each other, CP popped the kettle on and Joe came knocking. Luckily for Joe, Craig was at home and answered the door. Once the brews were in hand they hit record and let it all flow. This is one of those classic TSP's where two people have never met before... but you wouldn't think it when listening. It's a great natter and you'll really get a handle on who Joe is. We've all seen his brilliant character persona, either on stage performing stand up or stealing the show from Jimmy Carr and his guests on 8 out of 10 cats, now lets get to know the real Joe Wilkinson. One more thing! Joe is now an author! He's collaborated with his friend Henry Paker on JOE WILKINSON: My (illustrated) Autobiography. As ever with an artist like Joe, all is not what it seems with this book, apart from it being very funny indeed. Go check it out at your local book shop.  This is the TWO SHOT PODCAST with the incomparable JOE WILKINSON. We really think you're going to love this one.

What's happening TSP mates!! Producer Griff here. I've got a new podcast called 'My Own Garms'. It's a video podcast and it's about clothes and the people who wear them. This is the first episode with my mate Neil Summers here. I've got 8 recorded with a few previous TSP guests scattered amongst them (Amber Anderson is on next week) The best way to get the podcast is either on Spotify or Youtube as you'll have the full audio visual experience but the audio is available wherever you get your podcasts. MOG blurb below. New TSPs getting recorded next week. Nice one!! Neil Summers on Swedish Gorpcore, Racking Euro Sports Shops & British Subcultures' Effect On Fashion Yes my mates, what's happening with you lot!? This is My Own Garms. Now I'm not a massive fan of gassing on and on at the beginning of podcasts but since this is the first ever ep, I'd best give you a quick rundown of what's happening here. Every week I'm gonna get a guest on. Actors, musicians, artists, journalists, fashion heads. Anyone I reckon who's good for a chinwag about clothes. I'm sure you'll get the idea after an episode or two. This week I'm chatting to Neil Summers. Neil's a fucking diamond. His current professional roles involves working with a load of ace brands including Swedish jacket overlords Haglofs, Italian fabric innovators CP Company, German footbed perfectors Birkenstock and scandi fridge magnates Dometic. I first came across Neil when he was working on Proper magazine which he started with his mate Mark. I was pestering him about making some more proper podcasts so when I started My Own Garms, he was one of the first people I asked to be a guest. I fucking love this guy. You're gunna love him too. If you like this ep make sure you subscribe. We've got loads more sick guests coming up on this first series. Go and follow us on the socials.

Go and follow him on insta. Proper child prodigy behaviours. Biggup Sam Black from the Popular Front crew on the other batch of tunes. Podcast soundtrack composer extraordinaire. Cheers mate. Big thanks to Pearl who's done all the sick graphics and stuff that have stopped me having to dig out my coloured pencils. If you want some boss graphic design work done for anything, hit her up on insta @pearlthompsondesign. Shout out Matt Sellers for helping out with the colour grade. Big thanks to the mates at Aston for the mics and Native Places London and Manchester for the lovely recording spaces and last but not least big thanks to Sam Birch who's done a banging job recording and engineering the whole thing.

Hello Two Shot Podcast listener pals and a happy new year to you. We're back with a bang for 2022 and it's a sit down with chef Gary Usher! It's been two years since Gary and Craig sat down to eat chilli and have a gas (listen back to that one here if you haven't already). The world of restaurants has changed a bit since then so we thought it was time for a catchup to see how Gary was getting on. We went to see Gary at his Kala bistro in Manchester city centre. He had a lovely lunch and a lovely chat. Gary and Craig talk professional flexibility, fake TV, streamlining, peaks and troughs, customer complaints and loads, loads more. It's a brilliant chat and you'll deffo love it. This is the Two Shot Podcast with Gary Usher. Get in touch...

Season's greetings TSP mates. We're back with our 165th episode. It's a bloody cracker with a top fella called Iwan Rheon. You'll know Iwan from the globe-conquering mega-smash Game Of Thrones, or maybe from a little longer ago in Misfits. If you're fan of Welsh-language soaps, you might have seen a much younger Iwan in Pobol y Cwm or, to bring it bang up to date, in a new RomCom called A Christmas Number One. Craig and Iwan discuss elves, the unnoticed beauty of a hometown, music and control, reviews and the romantic comedy genre. It's a lovely hour and an ace way to round off the year. Happy holidays to one and all. We'll be back with a quick Christmas message next week and some chef-based podcasts for you in the new year. Peace and goodwill. Get in touch...
