The Independent gets personal about cinema and TV with actors, directors, cinematographers and other people from the continually evolving world of "content" in a new fortnightly podcast hosted by Culture Editor Christopher Hooton. Only a few years ago, Charlie Brooker was a columnist dipping his toe into the scripted television water with a one-off zombie riff on Big Brother. He sits down with Chris to discuss the show, the upcoming fourth season, how he used to be on the other side of the interview table, how he comes up with concepts for Black Mirror, plot option paralysis, screenwriting without doing film school, cutting back on Twitter, too much life as worse than death, and Ross Kemp.
