Return of Grounded with Louis Theroux BBC podcast includes Ruby Wax
Series line-up also includes candid chats with Michaela Coel, Sia, Rylan Clark-Neal, Frankie Boyle, Oliver Stone and FKA Twigs.
Actress and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax features in the return of Louis Theroux’s hit Radio 4 podcast, Grounded with Louis Theroux.
Landing on BBC Sounds on 30 November, the series line-up also includes candid chats with actress Michaela Coel, pop songstress Sia, presenter Rylan Clark-Neal, comedian Frankie Boyle, director Oliver Stone and singer FKA Twigs.
Like many, Theroux turned his hand to something new at the beginning of the pandemic. In the podcast he has stripped-back discussions with some of the people he has always admired, covering everything from careers to personal foibles and frailties and how they are coping with what is happening in the world.
Theroux says: “So the bad news is many of us are back in lockdown… but the good news is it’s been timed perfectly to coincide with the release of Grounded Season Two! I’ve been putting the past few months of not being able to travel for work to good use – having 10 more fascinating and intimate conversations with people I’ve always wanted to interview.”
The first series featured documentary maker Jon Ronson, as well as actresses Miriam Margolyes and Helena Bonham-Carter and is available now on BBC Sounds.
Grounded With Louis Theroux begins on 30 November, with a new episode released every Monday.
