EP67 - Armando Iannucci - I’m not a political satirist!

Armando Iannucci (@aiannucci) is a Scottish satirist, writer, television director and radio producer. He's best known for The Armando Iannucci Shows, The Day Today, Knowing Me, Knowing You, Veep and I'm Alan Partridge.  

I got him on the podcast to talk about - How he got started in radio, what it was like moving radio shows to TV and other visual mediums with no experience in them  How he picks the people he collaborates with.  The draw backs of having a fanbase at his level  Why he doesn't like being labeled as a satirist. How he would get started now if he had to go back to nothing. AND MORE!

You Don't forget! Once you've listened to the podcast remember to tweet him your suggestions for his new book title using the hashtag "#MITLE".

This podcast would be useful to anyone interested in what goes on behind the scenes of their favourite TV and radio shows as well as what goes into making them and the career "path" that Armando has carved out for himself.
