Podcast From The Past

ALEX LOWE & MOLLIE GOODFELLOW - Tarting My Wares

Joining Tom Jackson to discuss the postcards from their pasts are actor and comedian ALEX LOWE (Clare in the Community, Phoenix Nights, Barry From Watford) and journalist and comedy writer MOLLIE GOODFELLOW (Guardian, GQ, New Statesman, Have I Got News For You?, Frankie Boyle's New World Order). In this almost-festive episode, we celebrate mentors and kindness - we discover Alex Lowe's love of vintage postcards, his uncanny ability to replicate the exact height of theatrical knights, and we learn about an awards ceremony put together in a week. Along the way we benefit from expert handwriting advice from Barry Saint-Michael, learn the perils of taking Brian Blessed a cup of tea, and finally establish how many kisses it's appropriate to put on the end of an email.

In each episode of PODCAST FROM THE PAST, Tom Jackson - who curates the hugely popular twitter feed and book Postcard From The Past - welcomes to the studio two guests, each armed with old postcards they couldn’t bear to throw away. Together, in funny, human and sometimes moving conversations, they explore the memories, mysteries and stories held by those postcards. Hosted on Acast.
