Adam talks with British actor, comedian, and writer Jessica Knappett about the challenges of making a good sitcom, how the stress of filming a pilot for American TV made one of Jessica's internal organs explode, what Ilkla Moor Baht'At really means, weird vocal noises, and how the world can be fixed with balls of energy and love. This conversation was recorded face-to-face in London on 1st February 2024. Thanks to Séamus Murphy-Mitchell for production support and conversation editing.
