GBA 233 Ali

In GBA 233 we get better acquainted with Ali. He talks about writing sports listicles, having to choose between football and drama, how sport and theatre are not that different, his Northern and Jewish heritage and identity and so much more. Shared interests lead to us discussing interviewing and podcasting, the issues and tensions around digital and print media and the various approaches to the craft of true storytelling.

Ali doesn't plug anything.
