We sit down with Amy O'Hara, Development Executive at Warp Films - the Sheffield-based production company behind Adolescence, Dead Man's Shoes, Four Lions, This Is England and some of the most important British films ever made.

Amy's career has taken her from DJing at Sheffield's legendary Threads nights, to Film4, the BFI, and now back home to Warp. We talk about how she broke into the industry, what it takes to get a film off the ground, the threat of AI to storytelling, why cinema isn't dead yet - and a very exciting hint at what's coming next from Warp. And we pitch her a few film ideas. She was very patient about it.

This week we're joined by Carl Maloney, founder of RGM Magazine — the man who's interviewed everyone from John Cooper Clarke to Shaun Ryder, all while championing unsigned bands from Sheffield and beyond.

We talk about the night Arctic Monkeys played their very first gig, bombing on stage at an open mic, building a music magazine from scratch, accidentally promoting an AI artist, and why the live music industry is heading for a crash.

Oh, and Alex Turner used to ask Carl for advice. Bless him.

We're out of the studio. This week we're at the Dog and Partridge in Sheffield - one of Guinness's officially rated top ten pubs in the UK to try the Holy Trinity: Guinness, Murphy's and Beamish, all on tap in one place.
