Featuring Saima Ferdows, comedy director, producer, writer and force behind https://shows.acast.com/creatives-of-colour-podcast, talking about how she got into comedy, directing standup shows, and how scriptwriters can consider issues of diversity at the script level rather than punting it out to the casting director.

September meet-up for Creatives of Colour: https://www.tickettext.co.uk/2FbS8H9q3x

James (sans Matthew, who's in Bristol) talking with Falmouth School of Film and Television lecturer and Cinematologist podcaster Dr. Neil Fox, about his indie feature 'Wilderness', due out April 5th 2021 on most platforms, accompanied by Bailey the dog. This walk repeats the Flushing to Mylor route that nearly killed both James and Matthew on a previous excursion with less dramatic results apart from the brief appearance of an owl.

Matthew and James walk around the historic Cornish village of Devoran and discuss how comedy scriptwriting differs from straight drama, how many drama writers are able to use comedy to enhance their scripts and how the US and UK scriptwriting systems differ. They are also thanked sarcastically by a lady walking her dogs,  encounter some horses, and see a house which may or may not belong to Pierce Brosnan.
