Seeing as it's Christmas time I have a special podcast for you. My first ever interview with a group of people in fact, the cast of Rosie and Jim!
You can also listen to the chat on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Podcasts.In this interview I chat with Rebecca Nagan and Robin Stevens who puppeteered Rosie and Jim and also Neil Brewer who presented the show between Series 5 and 8.
I originally interviewed Rebecca in 2019 about her career in puppetry and after this chat asked if it would be possible to speak with Robin. We were put in touch with each other and an interview was agreed but for a while we couldn't find a mutual free time to do it as Robin now lives in America and also runs a cider business. Also Covid-19 happened soon after which delayed it further.
Fast forward to 2021 and I decide to try and ask again, Robin had the great idea of having everyone take part. He was in touch with Neil as well, so a group chat was created and this very interview was organised.
Originally I was intending for this one to have a visual element as well as the normal audio podcast as we all spoke with our webcams turned on and I did record the video and audio. Unfortunately afterwards I discovered the video side hadn't recorded properly and lagged really bad. Fortunately the audio recorded absolutely fine so this is presented as a normal podcast.
In this interview we discuss how each person became involved with the show. Favourite memories and episodes and memories are also shared of the two presenters prior to Neil. John Cunliffe and Pat Hutchins who are both sadly no longer with us.
Enjoy the interview and a Merry Christmas!
