March 11, 2024 Doug Cockle - S4 Ep3
In the 3rd episode of season 4 – I am Psyched To Be With You, Doug Cockle! Doug is an actor, streamer, roller of dice and acting teacher. One of Doug’s best-known roles is that of Geralt of Riva in The Witcher video game series. I do indeed ask about being Geralt, but also how Doug became an actor and how he manages to continue doing it. We discuss the importance of learning, challenges in higher education, the all about the new TTRPG live-play Natural Six Doug stars in and SO MUCH MORE. To be quite honest, I can’t believe I can say my words are in the same book as Doug’s words – let alone having the chance to chat with him on the show. This was another fantastic episode and I hope you enjoy as much as I did (although that’ll be hard to do, to be honest).
