Hello Pitpodders and a happy new year to you! This is a very special episode where the tables are turned. My friend and colleague Blythe Duff, the first guest I ever had on the show, agreed to interview me for this episode, even insisting that I sit on the “guest” side of the studio table. No intro or outro this week – just straight into the interview. I really hope you enjoy it!

Theatre director, magician, puppeteer – the list seems endless. It’s Ross MacKay, a brilliant human and a prolific talent, who makes considerable effort to get to my wee studio and chat for an hour. Big thanks to Ross for doing it. I think the promise that it would be the christmas “special” was part of the lure…

Jo Clifford was at one time something of a lone wolf; the only openly trans playwright in the UK theatre scene. Now, thankfully, she is a leading figure in a vibrant and growing community and this season she revives her hugely successful one-woman play, The Gospel According to Jesus Queen of Heaven. We sat down at Jo’s Leith home to talk theatre, politics and just plain old being human.

A “garret playwright”, Douglas Maxwell has written in his own unusual way (i.e. – mostly unsolicited) for over twenty years and boasts The Whip Hand, Fever Dream: Southside and Charlie Sonata among his many successes. We talk about being an artist, being a “success” and the ever-present imposter syndrome.

Big thanks to Douglas for taking the time out to chat to me, and to you for listening! If you can afford to and would like to, why not join a growing number of people who are chucking a few pounds a month into the pot to keep the podcast going? Click here to become a patron!
