I just think that Michael Sheen is completely wonderful. And David Tennant too. And their partners of course. 28•she/they•AuDHD+

To have an artistic director of the Welsh National Theatre who is this passionate, ambitious, and enthusiastic about bringing stories to life and championing writers, is remarkable. Wales, and the world, is so beyond lucky to have Michael Sheen.

No problem at all! I hope the drive goes well

His hair here is spectacular

Rufus @rufusthedino.bsky.social · 16h

- Feast of Football (more about his love of football)
- Where There's A Will There's A Wake (I LOVE this one, but might be harder because of your driving destination - basically he talks through his "ideal" funeral)
- The Andy Jaye Podcast (mostly about A Writing Chance initiative)

Rufus @rufusthedino.bsky.social · 16h

Sure!
- RHLSTP episodes 229 and 540 (both hilarious)
- The Romesh Ranganathan Show (recent!)
- Brydon & (talks with old friend Rob Brydon)
- Fingers on Buzzers (talks about 'Quiz' and his love of quiz shows in general)
- Desolation Radio (more specifically political and about Wales)

No problem! That's when I've mostly listened to these, while driving. I can suggest more if you'd like (he's done SO many podcasts!), but those have been my four favourites recently 😊

Rufus @rufusthedino.bsky.social · 17h

If you want podcast episodes with him, here are some I’ve loved:
- Table Manners (talks about his favourite food/his UNICEF work)
- Second Captains Saturday (talks about his love of football)
- Parenting Hell (talks about, predictably, parenting 😂)
- PlayCrush (talks in depth about Hamlet)

I know @TheBendySlow on the other place usually takes care of this (amazingly!) but I hope you don’t mind, I was just trying to keep track of it all! 😊
