- Introduction: ELLEN SHOOK on “If I Knew You Better"This is a short introduction to a very personal series of interviews I did on my other show, “If I Knew You Better". They deal extensively with domestic abuse, sexual secrets, and escaping violence in the home. But there is also lots of humor and inspiration here, so I hope you check it out. Parts 1 and 2 are searchable everywhere and also linked below; the finale - Part 3 - is coming next week.

- BRENDAN DAVIS | About My Father
October’s solo episode of my new show could be called “If You Knew ME Better”. This is a very candid and revealing one, as I share details about my father and his life that I never have publicly, so I wanted to share it here, too. NOTE: *trigger warning* for those sensitive to stories of domestic violence that you might want to skip the second half of this one.

10 min - NICK CHENG | Not The Original PlanNick Cheng is a popular British comedian based in Beijing, and a natural storyteller. And he has some great stories to tell: some are funny, most are fascinating, and a few - discussing a family member’s suicide attempts, his coming out while a member of the Royal Navy - are wrenching. But all are worth hearing, and I am glad to share them with you on this very special LAST REGULAR EPISODE of “Big Fish in the Middle Kingdom”. Please enjoy!

He cut his Hollywood teeth on the US version of “House of Cards” and then in NYC at HBO before returning home to the UK to work in development for DARKEST HOUR director Joe Wright.
