25 - "Holoship" with Cariad Lloyd

Podcast royalty - and phenomenal comedian, actor and writer - Cariad Lloyd joins us to say some of the geekiest things she’s ever said on a pod. It all begins with the reveal of a teenage Christmas present, which will have you wishing this was a visual medium. Cariad also confesses the enduring influence of Kristine Kochanski in her life. Moving on to series 5 episode 4, Holoship, we leave no stone unturned. You’ll wonder if we’ve all had a mind patch as we explore misogyny, Brief Encounter, hologram afterlife choices, Jane Horrocks’ accent and some serious hairspray. Plus: what are Grant and Naylor trying to tell us about humanity?SO WHAT IS IT?Better Than Life is the pod where comedians talk Red Dwarf, the greatest sci-fi sitcom, one episode at a time.
