This week's guest is the wonderful Jarred Christmas, who joined me backstage at The Tyne Theatre for a chinwag just before actual Christmas. We chat about bungee jumping in New Zealand, the magic of cash-back in the early 2000s and the role of social media in shaping the future of television. Jarred explains how the TV show Friends introduced him to the concept of different religions and explains why he'd rather throw a mince pie out of the window than eat it.
