At the weekend, Evie Roberts ‘Talking the in Dark’ podcast had no other than Stephen Fry as the latest guest.
In a relatively short space of time the Ballakermeen student has already had some incredible guests on her podcast, including Fearne Cotton; BBC’s chief political news correspondent for North America, Gary O’Donoghue and now, Stephen Fry.
Evie’s drama teacher, Ste Craigne, has played an integral part supporting Evie with the podcast, and helped the youngster on her way, to what I for one do not doubt, a path of stardom.
Talking in the Dark
Manx.News caught up with Evie Roberts and her drama teacher, Ste Craigne, following the latest episode.
Evie explained how speaking to one of her childhood heroes impacted her:
Ste contacted Stephen’s agent and got the ball rolling for her biggest guest yet.
He explained how he knew that Evie was very keen on audiobooks and how Stephen Fry had been mentioned in conversations between the two so frequently:
The pair have thanked everyone for their ongoing support of the podcast.
Listen
Evie’s podcast is available to listen to on all streaming platforms.
Evie hopes that the podcast helps remove the stigma around all disabilities, she said that as a blind person she finds that people can sometimes be scared to talk to her for fear of saying or doing the wrong thing.
