Happy Tuesday!
Yes, sorry. We’re a day late. But we’ve had the busiest two weeks in a very long time at the theatre. We’re currently into our second week of Summer School, which is always a time of wonderful chaos for us all, but this week’s episode with Ric Michael will be worth the wait.
Over the next few weeks, a lot of our Seniors are saying farewell to the Garrick, as they head off prepare for University in September. If you’re a Garrick student you’ll have more than likely met James and Ellie. For the listeners who haven’t had the pleasure, James and Ellie are not only 2 of our Senior students, our Garrick Chats With… hosts, but have also given up 3 weeknights and their Saturday mornings for the last four years to help teach all of our students.
As they both head off to study at the University of Salford, we wanted to give them something back. This week, James and Ellie hosted our first face-to-face interview with Salford Uni’s very own Ric Michael, Subject Head for Broadcast Media. We thought it would be a great opportunity for James and Ellie to get really excited about heading off to University, and Ric’s conversation definitely did just that.
In this intimate episode, Ric chats with James and Ellie about his wonderful career. From being part of bringing multi-award-winning Gavin and Stacey to our screens, to his love of poetry and comedy. And of course, they got to hear all about what to expect on campus at Media City and Main Campus as they move on to University life.
Ric, thank you so much for giving James and Ellie this special interview, and for completing your theatre tour of Greater Manchester (with Daniel in tow) to get to us (In-joke).
To everyone else, please let us know your thoughts
Happy listening,
Stockport Garrick Youth
