The Humans actress Emily Berrington takes a break from appearing in Machinal at London’s Almeida Theatre to join Jo and James for some podcupboard shenanigans, and to advise on how best to unwind from an intense show (hint: watch a lot of Love Island).

They discuss Emily’s role in Sophie Treadwell’s play – the true story of a woman who revolts after being forced into marriage to a man she does not love – what the future holds for Humans, and James makes his pitch for the perfect night out at the theatre.

And the team discuss their IIJMS: is it just James who doesn’t get offended by public displays of affection? Is it just Jo who has constant inner dialogue? And is it just Emily who thinks she’ll never truly grow up?
