Finnterviews

Author, presenter, musician, screen-writer, film-maker and OG YouTube royalty, Charlie McDonnell (aka CharlieIsSoCoolLike) sits down for a fascinating chat on this week's episode of Finnterviews!

We discussed Charlie's journey from a shy theatre kid, to blowing up as one of the first big YouTubers in the UK and the chaotic joyride that was online stardom in the earlier half of the noughties. Since then Charlie has taken the world by storm, leaving YouTube behind, presenting on multiple shows, writing a book, releasing his own music albums, making his own brand of tea to moving from London to Toronto and producing his own sci-fi drama series, Don't Look Deeper.
