In both Series 1 and 2, episode 10 was a time for Katie and Alexa to check in and get back to basics…getting all down and dirty in the business of being brutally honest about #actorslife. And Series 3 is no different!! Life, lockdown, work (or…lack of) and everything in between.

We never thought we'd do a podcast series being 4000 miles away from each other and we are so thankful for your support during these tumultuous times.

Producers. Actors know that we have to impress them. That they're a vital part of any production, be it theatre or screen...perhaps even the most important person in the room. But what's behind the curtain? Alexa and Katie realised that in all their years of being in the performing industry, they didn't actually know exactly *what* producers do and why they make the decisions they do. But actors shall wonder no more!! This episode's guests are Francesca Moody and Craig Tuohy. Francesca works in theatre and Craig works in film so all producing angles are covered in this special 2 for 1 episode! Francesca tells of her experiences from working in fringe theatre (not sure if you've heard of a little thing called Fleabag?) all the way to London's West End and all the not so fancy stuff that goes on behind the scenes for theatre producers. Craig enlightens listeners particularly about independent film and how producers get projects from script to screen. Also, what producers look for in auditions, how to interact with producers on set and the frustrations and highlights of working in film. These extremely candid conversations are incredibly helpful for actors at any point in their career!

Ever wondered what an artistic director of a theatre actually does?! Ever felt too silly to ask?! Well...you're not alone. Paul-Ryan Carberry joins the podcast this episode. He is an actor-turned-director and now Artistic Director of Iris Theatre, a theatre company producing work at the world-famous St. Paul's Church in Covent Garden with a mission to produce a fresh and vibrant repertoire of varied work resulting in affordable and accessible theatre while championing new talent from the 98! Paul-Ryan talks to Alexa and Katie about how being an actor in the 98% himself has affected how he directs, why he feels passionately about casting non-familiar faces and how running a theatre company works! Thank you for listening to The 98% even during these technically-not-perfect times of having to record via zoom. But we think you'll agree our fabulous guests make up for it!

The term "intimacy co-ordinator" is probably new to most people and yet their job should have been a staple in this industry LONG before now. In this episode Alexa and Katie are joined by the amazing Lizzy Talbot who saw a gap in the industry that sorely needed to be filled. She went on to set up one of the first companies in the UK advocating for safe intimacy for stage and screen and...you'll just have to listen to the episode to hear why what she does is so fabulous! This is a REALLY interesting episode that is not to be missed! You'll look at nudity and sex scenes completely different, for all the right reasons. Follow Lizzy on twitter @Lizzyhtalbot for news, info and what she's working on to keep an eye out for!
