The British presenter of this show is a very likable chap called Rick Edwards, who also happens to co-present the breakfast show on BBC Five Live (news and sport station). He's mostly known as a British TV presenter having found success on E4 (sort of like MTV in the old days).
He happened to be this week's guest The Two Shot Podcast. This is an interview show with the British actor Craig Parkinson and tends to feature long-form interviews with actors about how they got their starts in the business. Edwards isn't an actor but he is very funny, and he tells an enormously indiscrete story about working on The Courtship and the problems he has trying to inject humour into it (the network wasn't keen, but that's Edwards' thing). It must have been recorded before NBC whisked it off-network, although Edwards is smart enough to have perhaps seen the writing on the wall. However, he noted he still had more voiceover work to do. Anyway, worth a listen of that sort of thing floats your boat. https://play.acast.com/s/twoshotpod (I met Craig Parkinson at the British Podcast Awards a couple of years ago when his show had just won a couple. I congratulated him and he was very charming about it.)
