#50 - A Half-Century Celebration!

In today's episode, to celebrate the pod reaching 50 (FIFTY) episodes, Tom pulls the old switcheroo and gets Mya to assume hosting duties whilst Tom plays the role of 'knowledgeable' guest. She quizzes Tom on his passion for film, his work at Gower Street, and what he thinks about the impending Awards season. Come for the laughs, stay for the detailed analysis of Tom's childhood. Here's to the next fifty. Thanks for coming. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy [https://acast.com/privacy] for more information.
