Actress Emilia Clarke joins Sam to talk about her new show PONIES and how for the first time ever she was given the choice of which main character to be, Bea or Twila. They compare stories of traveling with hot plates, and the need to have “an evening” of making dinner and watching a cooking show even if they get home late. They talk about reading cookbooks like novels, the correct amount of newspapers to get every weekend (four), sliding into Alison Roman’s DMs, the never-ending loyalty of Game Of Thrones fans and their unique fan fiction. Emilia talks about the decision to finally reveal her experience undergoing brain surgery in the New Yorker and trying to figure out how to thank the NHS for saving her life.
