This Life of Mine with James Corden

Barry Keoghan is an actor hailing from Ireland, who is surely one of the most in-demand names in the industry right now.  His work on Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk and Yorgos Lanthimos’s The Killing of A Sacred Deer introduced him onto the global stage, but it was his Oscar nominated and BAFTA winning turn in The Banshees of Inisherin that really catapulted him to fame, and the leading role in the most talked about film of 2023, Saltburn.  His journey into acting has been far from ordinary, and perhaps that explains his success in bringing extraordinary roles onto the screen. Barry’s Picks: MOVIE – COOL HAND LUKE MEMORY – WATCHING MOVIES AT GRANNY’S HOUSE PLACE - ACHILL ISLAND IN COUNTY MAYO, IRELAND PERSON – MICHAEL BOSSMAN MUSIC – CANTER by GERRY CINNAMON POSSESSION – A BRACELET WITH MUM’S NAME ON IT   Follow James Corden on Instagram.

Bryan Cranston spent the first 20 years of his career acting in commercials, TV soaps, playing guest roles on iconic shows such as Matlock, Baywatch and Seinfeld. It wasn't till his 40s when he started to see real success, when he was cast in the role of Hal on the much loved family comedy Malcolm in the Middle.

Today we’re sharing an episode from Wiser Than Me, when Julia sits down with the iconic Ina Garten.  Over the course of her 76 years, Ina has lived a few lives: she worked on nuclear policy at the White House, ran the beloved food store Barefoot Contessa, and went on to write best-selling cookbooks and host her own hit TV shows. But what’s always defined her isn’t just the food—it’s the way she brings people together around it. In this conversation, Ina reflects on how aging has reshaped her taste, the art of simplicity, and what she’s learned about handling those quietly difficult, passive-aggressive types we all know too well.

Today we’re sharing an episode from Fail Better with David Duchovny, featuring filmmaker and writer Judd Apatow. Together, they trace the arc of Judd’s career, from Anchorman and Bridesmaids to Superbad and The 40-Year-Old Virgin, before diving into his new visual memoir, Comedy Nerd: A Lifelong Obsession in Stories and Pictures. Throughout their conversation, Judd reflects on what’s driven him all these years—not the need to prove he’s funny, but the desire to understand if he has anything to say in the first place. It’s something David relates to as a writer, and it runs through the pages of Judd’s new book: a collection of everything he’s made and gathered while trying to make sense of this life he’s made. They also talk about the sting of bad reviews, why they’ve both stopped Googling themselves, and how Judd’s documentary on Garry Shandling became a final act of friendship and legacy.

Welcome to This Life of Mine.  To kick off the podcast James Corden is joined by a guest who’s been described as one of the most important cultural icons in recent American history. He first found success along with Ice Cube and Eazy E in the genre defining group N. W. A., and later experienced unparalleled success as a solo artist before becoming, without question, one of the most successful producers of all time, working with some of the biggest artists of the last 20 years, from Kendrick Lamar To 50 Cent, Jay Z, Mary J. Blige, Nas, Busta Rhymes, Yves, Anderson Paak, Gwen Stefani and of course his decade long collaboration with Eminem.  He's also an entrepreneur who took his love of sound to the next level when he did something that no other artist had done at that time.
