Katherine Ryan Interviews Sara Pascoe

Chain Reaction

Available for over a year

Katherine Ryan turns interviewer and invites her chosen guest Sara Pascoe into the Chain Reaction hot seat. Chain Reaction is the talk show with a twist where the interviewee becomes the interviewer in the next show. Katherine Ryan is a Canadian stand-up star and presenter who is perhaps best known for her live stand-up work - 'Glam Role Model' and 'Kathbum' - as well as appearances on BBC2's Episodes and Taskmaster on Dave. As revealed in her chat with Joe Lycett in the last episode in the Chain, Katherine has a cat called Sara Pascoe and so her choice of interview guest for this week's episode was perhaps never in doubt. Sara Pascoe (the human) is a comedian, writer and actor known for her acclaimed live shows - Sara Pascoe the Musical and Sara Pascoe vs History to name just two - as well as numerous high profile TV appearances on programmes ranging from Live at the Apollo, Never Mind The Buzzcocks and W1A. Her debut book Animal: The Autobiography of a Female Body was released in 2016. Katherine and Sara, who both started stand-up in 2007, discuss insects, yoga, hip hop and everything in between. Producer: Richard Morris A BBC Studios production for BBC Radio 4, first broadcast in February 2017. Photo credit: Matt Stronge.
