Welcome to Get Around To It, the culture podcast for curious people - presented by arts journalists Aoife Barry and Lauren Murphy.

DEEP DIVE episode alert! On this episode we ask: What is it really like interviewing celebrities?

Aoife and Lauren have spent many years sitting down with people - from celebrities to business owners to politicians - and grilling them (nicely) for print, radio or TV. So what's it like to interview someone, particularly a celebrity?

Here's the lowdown on the good, bad, and bizarre (wait till you get to the Jack White anecdote...). Contains mention of Paul Mescal's eyes.

PLUS - Aoife and Lauren detail their top interviews of all time.

Welcome to Get Around To It, the culture podcast for curious people - presented by arts journalists Aoife Barry and Lauren Murphy.

DEEP DIVE episode alert! On this episode we ask: Why is Gen Z so obsessed with the show Girls?

We revisit the show Girls - created by Lena Dunham - and ask why youngsters are so obsessed. This requires a lot of recalling the era of indie sleaze, feminist girl bosses and asking why on earth people care so much about what Dunham looks like.

PLUS - Lauren counts down her top 5 shows about female friendship.
