In this second outing of his podcast series, he tracks down more high-profile guests he’s been longing to talk to - a fascinating mix of the celebrated, the controversial and the mysterious. They include Oscar-winning Hollywood director Oliver Stone, singer, songwriter and superstar collaborator, Sia, outspoken stand-up comedian Frankie Boyle, dancer and singer FKA Twigs, mental health campaigner and comedian, Ruby Wax, ubiquitous TV presenter Rylan Clark-Neal… and more. In this preview episode, Louis introduces some of the guests he's meeting in the new series. The second series begins on Monday 30 November, 2020. Produced by Paul Kobrak and Sara Jane Hall A Mindhouse production for BBC Radio 4
You are about to listen to a BBC podcast, and I'd like to tell you a bit about what goes into making one.
I'm Siddhartha Sese, an assistant commissioner of podcasts for BBC Sounds.
I pull a lot of levers to support a diverse range of podcasts on all sorts of subjects.
Relationships, identity, comedy, even one that mixes poetry, music and inner city life.
So one day I'll be helping hosts develop their ideas, the next back checking a feature, and the next looking at how a podcast connects with its audience.
And maybe that's you.
So if you like this podcast, check out some others on BBC Sounds.

Hello, I'm Louis Theroux, and welcome back to another series of my podcast for BBC Radio 4, Grounded with Louis Theroux.
Well, this feels pretty chatty and informal.
Shall I rustle the paper or not?
So then I need to talk about what the different people in the show.
So I should say something like, oh, look, I'm really excited because we've got really big names like Oliver Stone, Hollywood director.
Success teaches you how to deal with people.
It makes you smarter, it gives you access.
Failure teaches you humility.
