Normal Not Normal - Paula DuPré Pesmen

Описание: In this episode we talk to our friend (and ex-boss) Paula DuPré Pesmen. As Associate Producer on the Harry Potter films Paula watched us grow up over the years and has plenty of behind-the-scenes tea to spill.
We reminisce about our first terrifying meeting, hear about a surprise Paul McCartney meeting at Abbey Road Studios and find out why we’ll always be ‘kids’ in Paula’s eyes.
During the filming of the Potter films, Paula’s world was turned upside down by family illness. It was this that inspired her to start the incredible charity There With Care, which supports families coping with critical illness.

Paula also supports The Liv Project, which is working to turn the tide on youth suicide. In this episode we play ‘The Game That Goes There’, a game developed by the project to encourage deeper conversations. To get your copy and support the charity, go to shopthelivproject.com

James and Oliver Phelps (aka Fred and George Weasley) talk to a star-studded selection of friends, colleagues and personal heroes who stepped into the limelight at a young age, and find out what “normal” means to them. As identical twins who grew up on the Harry Potter film set as Fred and George Weasley, you could never say that the pair had a “normal” start to life. But recently, they’ve been thinking: what does “normal” mean anyway? Ready your ears for behind-the-scenes Potter revelations; outrageous rants; frank conversations about mental health; and even the odd, ‘did-you-know?’
