400. MiOsc on Banned Books, the Power of Storytelling, and our African Journey

It’s another MiOsc episode! Oscar and I reflect on our recent trip to Africa. We discuss the vibrant culture, languages, and safaris.

292. Langley Kirkwood on South African history, education and empathy

Langley Kirkwood discusses his new film Collision on Netflix, Warrior Season 3 and the upcoming Netflix One Piece live action film. It is eye opening to hear about the very real issues highlighted in the film Collision: xenophobia, racism and corruption. Langley educates me about the history and current socio-political situation in South Africa.

254. Kieran Bew on fencing, Shakespeare and acting

I have a lovely conversation with Kieran Bew who plays Bill O’Hara on HBOMAX’s Warrior. Kieran shares stories from the set of Warrior and the weather challenges they faced in Cape Town on the very first day of filming.

Warrior fans have been thrilled with my recent lineup of guests… So have I! While I love talking about Warrior, it has been even more fascinating to get to know the actors behind the characters.

252. Langley Kirkwood on Capetown, triathlons and acting

I had a lovely conversation with award-winning South African actor and voice artist Langley Kirkwood. Langley plays the villain Buckley on HBOMAX’s Warrior. It’s been surreal to speak with so many cast members from Warrior and Banshee.

Langley shares his love for Cape Town, triathlons, and acting. As an admirer of his work, it was fascinating to hear about how his triathlon training compliments his acting process.
