URN

Join Toby and Dom for a very special episode of URN Sport's cricket podcast, 'Sticky Wicket', recorded live at Trent Bridge for Nottinghamshire's first pre-season outing against Oxford.

Due to a mystery goose attack putting the host out of action, today's exploration of insects will be taken by the noted singer, Miss Grasshopper Warbler and her wonderfully competent jazz band. Fresh from a sold out run at The Princess Theatre, Hunstanton, Miss Warbler will be belting out the hits in her inimitable, dazzling style. One not to be missed!

It's time for season two! This episode I spoke to Atakan, who is from Turkey, about all things food, drink and traditional customs. Have a listen if you want to learn more about this fascinating country!

Welcome back to the Film Show! On this one we're talking about the long distant past of the mid-to-late 2000s with 3 reviews of some of our favourites from those halcyon days. We're covering the much overlooked Jennifer's Body, the increasingly prophetic Children of Men & the stone cold classic... Stardust!

We're still over Skype on this one but have the whole band back together specially to argue about the effectiveness of Michael Caine's constantly stoned hippy character in Alfonso Cuarón's horrific 2027 dystopia and of course to stan Bobby De Niro's Captain Shakespeare to the ends of the earth. Watch out for the MST3K reference! It's the episode were I wish I could just have a picture of Charlie Cox in that long white coat as the thumbnail!

Hope you enjoy!

Join Ciaran, Pavan and Reece for another episode of URN Sport's 'Big Monday Night In' podcast.

This star-studded digital production of The Picture of Dorian Gray sees Oscar Wilde's title character being brought fully into the 21st century and reimagined as a smartphone-obsessed "influencer". But when Dorian makes a deal to ensure his social status never fades, corruption and depravity begin to seep into his seemingly perfect world...

The show is available to watch online until the 31st March. Tickets cost £12 and are available here: pictureofdoriangray.com

Join Toby and Dom for another episode of URN Sport's cricket podcast, Sticky Wicket.

Welcome back to the Film Show! On this one we're chatting about the star-studded Armando Iannucci love letter to Dickens: 'The Personal History of David Copperfield' & the new BAFTA nominations!

As part of UoN's Diversity Festival we chat a lot about the failings of the film industry in diversifying things in front of and behind the camera and especially in relation to the BAFTA's wonderful push for diversity! We're talking about colour-blind vs identity-conscious casting, rejections of auteur and 'great man' theories, amplifying BIPOC voices & stories using awards and how much we still have to do!

Plus, we review 'The Personal History of David Copperfield', a fantastic film that was a widely publicised use of colour-blind casting & just an absolutely cracking take on Dickens' work with Dev Patel's great lead performance really standing out.

+ I wouldn't be doing my job if I didn't direct y'all to Khadija Mbowe, who has great videos on colour-blind casting, colourism, stereotypes in media and much more! :
