In no particular order, our picks this month are…
Films To Be Buried With – David Morrissey

Newscast Interview: Actor and RADA President David Harewood
Away from the daily headlines, presenter Adam Fleming enjoys an extended conversation with David Harewood. They discuss his role as RADA President, including the advice he received from his predecessor Kenneth Branagh.
He also talks about working with James Graham, on stage and in Sherwood, his documentaries and more.
Film Stories
The Film Stories podcast returned from its summer break with a doozy, the tale behind the ill-fated adaptation of The Avengers (1998). Plus, the rather more successful comedy Step Brothers.
Also this month, there’s a cracking ‘In Conversation with’ interview, with Deadpool & Wolverine star Rob Delaney. It’s a great, free-ranging chat with the star about his new film, wider career and “how the sausage is made”, Catastrophe and touches on memories of his late son.
So, happy listening… and do let us know if you have any recommendations too.
