13 OCT 2020 · Holly Bourne is a bestselling and critically acclaimed author of adult and teen fiction as well as a mental health campaigner. Holly is very well known for her two novels for adults, How Do You Like Me Now, and Pretending, which is funny, thoughtful and brutally honest, while also examining difficult subjects like abuse and trauma with sensitivity.After spending a number of years as an award winning journalist, Holly worked for a youth charity as an editor on the front line. Holly was impacted by the real life stories of the young people that she was helping, and she started writing teen fiction to help educate teens on subjects like obsessive compulsive disorder, feminism and mental health. We chat about her hating her job as a news journalist (which she also won awards for), why she can’t start a novel without knowing the first line, her experience working on the frontline of a mental health charity for teens, why people are terrified to invite her to their weddings, entering into cat competitions as a form of writing procrastination and the neuroscience behind why our memories of our teenage years are so damn vivid! Holly, like her work, is brilliant, funny and very honest. She’s been called “the Bridget Jones of this generation”. You’ll soon see why.

3 SEP 2020 · Episode 6 is with the gregarious visionary, James Bulmer, an entrepreneur and restauranteur. James is also the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Wonderland Restaurants, a portfolio of restaurants that offer immersive and multi sensory dining experiences. Earlier in 2020, James and his team partnered with Warner Brothers to create the first of Wonderland’s Restaurants, Park Row, which opens in London 2021. James has formed a team who are top in the world at their craft - from leading chemical engineers, to Michelin Starred chefs and even Britain’s most famous illusionist, in order to bring their vision to life.

James is a true innovator and dreamer. Hope you enjoy hearing from him as much as I did.

Des has worked in film and television for over 15 years.Some of his work includes casting Jojo Rabbit, The King starring Timothee Chamalet, Ordinary Love with Liam Neesson, High Life with Robert Pattinson, the House that Jack Built with Matt Dillon & Uma Thurman, as well ass casting Top Boy for Netflix, for which he won the 2020 BAFTA for Best Scripted Casting.Des is well known for his street-casting methods, where he finds raw, undiscovered talent, who have often never acted before. He famously street cast Thomas Turgoose in “This is England”, Tom Sweet in “The Childhood of a Leader” Kathleen McDermott in Morvern Callar, for which she won a BAFTA for best newcomer. Des shares what it was like growing up as working class kid in Glasgow and finding his way into the world of film, how he discovers raw talent on the streets of London, how the cast and crew of Top Boy have become family, what it was like winning a BAFTA during lockdown with his son in Paris (and who he would like to present his award to him). We discuss his nation-wide search for the character of Jojo in Jojo Rabbit, overcoming the addiction battles of his youth, and the importance of kindness in the industry (and in life).It was an absolute privilege (and such blast) interviewing Des. The conversation is raw and honest (it’s a longer episode than usual), but well worth the listen. If you enjoy the episode - please share it with others - and rate, review and subscribe to Hatch.
