For our fifth podcast we are delighted to welcome a true legend of British film and television, the director and screenwriter Shane Meadows...
Shane Meadows is a legend of British film and television. In the mid-90s he was making lots of short films around Nottingham. In 1997 he released his debut feature TwentyFourSeven. Since then he’s gone on to create masterpieces like A Room For Romeo Brass, Dead Man’s Shoes, This Is England, The Virtues, Gallows Pole, The Stone Roses: Made of Stone and more.
Shane was also the cover star of the first ever printed issue of LeftLion Magazine back in 2004. The interview was done by LeftLion Editor in Chief Jared Wilson, who has also interviewed Shane twice previously in our printed magazine. It was recorded in front of a live audience at Nottingham Central Library on Friday 4 October and was made possible thanks to funding from Arts Council England.

We have a favour to ask
LeftLion is Nottingham’s meeting point for information about what’s going on in our city, from the established organisations to the grassroots. We want to keep what we do free to all to access, but increasingly we are relying on revenue from our readers to continue. Can you spare a few quid each month to support us?
