Episode 291 w/ Stuart Carolan
Notes de l’épisode
The lads have spent years quoting Love/Hate, so getting its creator Stuart Carolan into the studio was always going to come with a few questions. They definitely weren’t expecting Kung Fu Panda to be one of the answers, though.
Stuart took us behind the scenes of the show that had the country glued to the telly every Sunday. From the stories his mam brought home from her nursing shifts to the dark humour that made its characters unforgettable, there was plenty for the lads to get into. We also heard about keeping secrets from people looking to put a bet on the next death, and spotting something special in a young Barry Keoghan.
Beyond Love/Hate, a slightly bumpy Ryanair flight helped convince Stuart to finally take the leap into writing. Even after creating a massive hit, getting the next story made is far from guaranteed. We also got into his new series Tall Tales & Murder, why Casey Walsh was the right man for the lead, and what “straight comedy” looks like in Stuart’s head.
