BONUS: Elodie Blomfield • Phoebe on Ted Lasso Nov 30, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! In this bonus episode Marisa, Christian, and Brett have a conversation with the delightful Elodie Blomfield, who portrays Roy's adorable and precocious niece Phoebe on the show Ted Lasso.
We chatted with Elodie about her experience as an actress on the Ted Lasso set as well as her experience on stage in other projects. She (playfully) dished about the behaviors of some of her co-stars on set and shared with us some of the funniest moments from behind the scenes. (Side note to the producers, editors, and the entire technical/creative team: THE FANS WANT BLOOPERS!)
We also discovered that Elodie and RTWD host Christian are on opposite sides of a bitter football rivalry, but thankfully we were able to keep the situation from escalating. You can nominate them for a peace prize at nobelprize.org
Finally, we want to give a special thank-you to Elodie's mother, Rachel, who was kind enough to help Elodie set aside time to have this special conversation with us at RTWD!
For those of you who haven’t finished watching season 2 - this is your official spoiler alert, as there are some light spoilers contained within this episode.

BONUS: #MedLasso! (with Drs. Mark Shapiro and Sayed Tabatabai) Oct 26, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds!
On this bonus episode Christian and Brett have a conversation with not just one - but two - amazing guests from the #MedLasso community - Dr. Mark Shapiro and Dr. Sayed Tatatabai! Dr. Shapiro is a full-time hospitalist in California and the creator and host of the Explore The Space Podcast, a show focused on bringing those who provide healthcare and those who seek healthcare closer together through conversations with leaders from across the spectrum. And Mark was recently the recipient of the “I Stand With Her #HeForShe” Award at The 2021 Women In Medicine Summit. Dr. Tabatabai, who was able to join us partway through the episode, is a Nephrology Specialist in San Antonio, Texas. Sayed spends some of his free time writing fiction on the internet (which has been featured on NPR';s Weekend Edition Sunday) and the rest of it portraying the role of Darth Vader for the Star Wars Society of San Antonio for various charitable causes. Dr. Tabatabai regularly teams up with Dr. Shapiro on the Explore the Space podcast to talk about Ted Lasso. Together they started the #MedLasso hashtag on twitter, which has now become a virtual gathering place for medical professionals to bond over the show online.
In our conversation with Mark and Sayed, we discussed some of their experiences with the show, the #MedLasso community, and the experience of pandemic medicine. We asked Mark how he came up with the idea of integrating Ted Lasso into his work on Explore the Space and chatted with Sayed about his fiction writing as a creative outlet. We talked about Robin Williams, the television show Scrubs, and the way the show champions the idea of "aspirational masculinity." We also wondered what Ted Lasso's specialization would be if he were a physician.

BONUS: I Believe in Rom-Communism (with Gwenda Bond) Oct 05, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the Crown & Anchor, Greyhounds! On this bonus episode we host New York Times best-selling author Gwenda Bond to discuss the theme of "rom-communism" that has been so pervasive in the second season of Ted Lasso. Luckily, Gwenda is an accomplished writer who has spent a good deal of time writing stories that fit within the rom-com genre - including her new book that is out this week, titled Not Your Average Hot Guy.
In our conversation with Gwenda, we discuss the hallmarks of the rom-com genre, the ways in which the show adheres to and subverts rom-com conventions, and point out our favorite references in the "Rainbow" episode of Ted Lasso season 2.
We also take some time to talk about Gwenda's work on a Young Adult fiction series which features a young Lois Lane (of the Superman comics) as the protagonist and ask her how she came to love the genre so deeply.
