Jake Shane hosts guest Daisy Edgar-Jones on this episode of Therapuss to discuss her career, her favorite British pop culture touchstones, and her upcoming film adaptation of Sense and Sensibility. The two compare notes on acting, period pieces, disastrous first experiences with cannabis, and their shared love of reality television franchises like The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Along the way, they swap stories about festival camping at Glastonbury, weathering stormy weather on the set of Twisters, and read listener-submitted dilemmas about awkward breakups and bad boyfriends.
