On Talk The Line we speak to brilliant people about the beautiful detours that make a creative life interesting – those unusual fascinations and obsessions that sometimes lie far away from their day job as musicians, directors, comedians and actors. New episodes drop every Friday wherever you get your podcasts.

Talk The Line is a podcast from UK music magazine ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Line of Best Fit ⁠⁠⁠⁠and is co-produced by Emmeline Armitage and Paul Bridgewater, with music by Seams.
