Hello friends,

**EDIT - an earlier version of this post went out with a faulty audio file. Thanks to Michael Hayes for pointing this out to us. Here it is again, but without an advert interrupting Alicia’s story. Thanks for bearing with us.**

Welcome to this week’s episode of the OneTrackMinds podcast. Over the past two weeks, we’ve featured stories about mothers, stories about fathers, and now, rounding off the trilogy, we present to you two stories about parenting in a slightly oblique manner…

Our first guest is film and TV director Alicia MacDonald. As well as being responsible for a body of terrific commercials and advertisements, Alicia is one of the most exciting young TV directors in the UK, having worked on a huge array of brilliant comedy projects, including Outlaws, Pure, Flack and Sisters. She’s also directed Lena Dunham’s forthcoming Netflix series Too Much, and her feature film debut, CC: Emily is currently in the works. You can follow her on Instagram.

Then, after the break, it’s yet another story from Kristian Brodie. Kristian is a Film Producer, Development Executive and Writer, who is also the founder and co-host of OneTrackMinds. He’s not averse to writing about himself in the third person if it comes to it, although he’d like it to be known that he does find it somewhat awkward…

Unfortunately, due to rights reasons, we can’t play our storytellers’ chosen songs in the podcast, but you can listen to them by following these links:

Goodnight, Sweetheart, Goodnight by The Spaniels

Exile by Taylor Swift (featuring Bon Iver)

The OneTrackMinds Podcast is presented by Adam Shakinovsky and Kristian Brodie, and produced by Haresh Patel for VERYFINE Ltd.

Thanks for listening - we’ll be back again next week with more stories about life-changing songs.
