You Are Being Unreasonable

With my partner, Helen Sulis Bowie, I co-hosted and produced the popular comedy podcast, You Are Being Unreasonable, in which we examined the strange culture of Mumsnet’s Am I Being Unreasonable forum. The archive of You Are Being Unreasonable is available on a wide variety of podcast platforms including Anchor, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts. In 2018, the Anchor team named us one of their favourite podcasts of the year.

For a taste of the podcast, please enjoy our sampler episode on our YouTube channel.

guest appearances

I have appeared as a contributing film critic on the film review podcast and radio show, Cinetopia. The Cinetopia podcast reviews the latest UK cinema releases (slanted towards arthouse cinema), and interviews with film professionals. Cinetopia is a organisation aiming to make film and filmmaking more approachable and diverse within Edinburgh and beyond.
