In this podcast, James talks to people for you, the public. These ‘people’ will be ‘people’ he is a fan of anyway, so you are really very welcome, people. Each episode is usually a combination of questions, and follow-up questions (just to keep it fresh). It’s fairly silly, and much more about having a chat with some daft questions for a while, rather than working out why acts do what they do, or how they do it. Guests (so far) have included the likes of James Acaster, B.J. Novak, Josie Long ...
