I am an armoured bear; war is the sea I swim in and the air I breathe…

In this very special bonus episode we interviewed the king of the Panserbjorn - Joe Tandberg. We discuss his background with the books, bringing Iorek to life in the HBO / BBC TV adaptation, vocalising a bear (with new dialogue & languages!!!) and much more.

We hope we covered your questions - there were a LOT! - and thank you all for sending them to us for this interview.

A HUGE thank you to Joe too, you can find him at the links below or check him out in season 3 of the excellent climate crisis thriller Occupied (available here).
