We’re taking the podcast out of the studio and into the spotlight.
Join Persistent and Nasty for the very first event in our new series of live podcast recordings. You can expect the same brand of unfiltered, funny, fiercely honest conversation that you get in your ears, only now, you can be in the room with us.
On Friday 6th March at GMAC Film, Persistent and Nasty founders and podcast hosts, Elaine Stirrat and Louise Oliver, will be joined by super talented Scottish actress Leah Byrne (Department Q) for a live podcast recording in front of an audience.
This is your chance to experience the energy of the podcast up close; you can ask questions and soak up the atmosphere as we celebrate women in the arts doing bold and brilliant work.
You know the vibes will be immaculate.
Come for the banter. Stay for the revolution.
Spaces are limited so book now to avoid disappointment.
Doors: 6pm
Start: 6.30pm
Running Time: 90 minutes (including Q&A)
