With special guest Kiell Smith-Bynoe who plays Mike in hit BBC comedy ‘Ghosts’. Ben and Sasha ask: is sharing your partner with a group of ghosts a metaphor for partnerships and what’s it like to act next to dead people?

Hi, Tom Beaudette.
Thinking about all the different sandwiches my mom used to make for our family road trips.
Bologna and Cheddar, turkey and Cheddar, ham and Cheddar.
I like Cheddar as a kid, but as an adult, I think I like saving Cheddar more.
That's why I book at studio six for extended stays with the kitchen.
It lets the family make more than just car sandwiches like Mac and Cheddar.
I'm Tom Bodette for studio six, where you get more in your room for less Cheddar.
Hello, Ben Bailey Smith here and Sasha Bates.
And this is the podcast where we shrink the heads of our favorite iconic tv characters, work out what makes them tick, and see what we can learn along the way.
This is kind of a different episode, though, Sash, because it is our very first ever live shrink the box.
How about that?
What you call ambiance.
Sash, what are we looking at this week?
We are looking at one of the BBC's most popular comedies.
It's called ghosts.
And we're going to be looking at the ghosts individually and collectively because they do house share and look.
Look at the relationships between them and between their living inhabitants.
Talking of whom, we have the very much alive actor, writer comedian who plays Mike, who inherits the house via his wife, Alison.
So, ladies and gents, please welcome my good friend Kael Smith.
Bienno.
