About the episode

Sharon Horgan (The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox, Bad Sisters, Catastrophe) is an Emmy Award-nominated actor, writer, and producer. Sharon joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being one of three middle children, growing up with a tough publican father that went into the turkey trade, and an early approach by a famous director in a café to audition for one of his films. Sharon and Dax talk about having great recall for lines but basically no other information, the joy-filled buzz of her first time taking something from the page to the screen, and the sometimes tricky transition from set life back to home life. Sharon explains the unexpected rewards that can come from going in a different direction than originally intended, hitting the chemistry lottery and winning a Peabody for Bad Sisters, and the big swings taken in The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
