We have a very funny and very honest conversation with actor, writer and director Natalie Morales.
She talks about her love for the entertainment industry, coping with her shows always being cancelled and how smashing her face into a balcony almost derailed her career.
Also her love for Buston Keaton, her dislike of President Trump’s voice and why Parks and Recreation was such a good show.
We also talk about starring in her own network show, the joy of writing with her best friend during lockdown and drinking 40-year-old whisky at the British Consulate.
