Kim Blythe on Creeping Surveillance and Those Kylie Jenner Pervert Glasses

Season 1 · Episode 5

Monday, August 24, 2026 • Duration 01:03:35

Standup and online sensation Kim Blythe is used to the limelight: but on her own terms. Since inadvertently being caught on camera (cycling on her beloved Voi bike), Kim has been spiralling over the modern age of surveillance. Why is Kylie Jenner promoting “pervert glasses”? How do we protect our privacy when everyone has a camera? And was “Black Mirror” actually a documentary? We discuss Kim’s meteoric rise through the Scottish comedy scene, therapy, internet fame and her very legitimate painting-and-decorating business.

PLUS some randoms from Zara about unsolicited Fringe reviews and what 3 stars really means...

See Kim at the Fringe this August: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/kim-blythe-puzzle

Missing the Fringe? You can also catch Kim on her autumn tour, come to a city near you. Full details on: https://kimblythe.com/

Michael Fry on Frying His Brain and the Paradox of Social Media

Season 1 · Episode 4

Monday, August 17, 2026 • Duration 01:03:05

Irish comedian and actor Michael Fry (@bigdirtyfry) is conflicted: on the one hand, the internet has allowed him to carve out a successful comedy career (from TV roles in Derry Girls and No Worries If Not to his own series on BBC Sounds). But on the other hand, his phone addiction is turning his brain to mush. From watching TikToks on a giant unwieldy iPad to preemptively blocking trolls, Michael and Zara (@zanyzaz) discuss strategies for resisting the relentless pull of the internet. Plus, irrational childhood fears, musical comedy as a safe space and a guy who keeps eels in his basement.

Listen to 'Lunchtime with Michael Fry' on BBC Sounds; the new series drops on 5 September 2026: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/brand/m002085j

Laura Ferguson on (Not) Separating the Art from the Artist

Season 1 · Episode 3

Monday, August 10, 2026 • Duration 52:45

Fresh from the set of Frankie Boyle-penned crime drama Meantime (starring James McAvoy), TV producer Laura Ferguson joins Zara with a spiral that has bugged her for years: why do people still play a certain moonwalking pop star?

Michael Jackson made some undeniable bangers. But can we ever separate the art from the artist?

Plus: what a producer actually does, surviving Scottish filming conditions and the art of girl math.

Meantime is scheduled to premiere on Sky in 2027
See Zara at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe for one night only on Wednesday 12 August 2026: https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/zara-gladman-is-aileen-cameron-s-gap-year-fundraiser

Martin Clark on Being a Late Bloomer and Making His First Feature Film

Season 1 · Episode 2

Monday, August 3, 2026 • Duration 50:49

Filmmaker Martin Clark takes time out from polishing off his feature film “Public House” (set in Glasgow pub, Heraghty's) to share a spiral that's followed him for years: what if it feels like you're always playing catch-up? What if you're ten years behind your creative peers?

We discuss growing up in “the arsehole of Scotland”, his creative process, being a late bloomer in the world of film, and the complicated business of calling yourself an artist. Plus: the delicate balance between self-belief and self-delusion, why Glasgow’s music scene has been such an inspiration - and a very rude dinner party guest.
