  • BBC sounds music radio podcasts.

  • Hello.

  • It's another one of those episodes of newscast where we spend the whole episode just chatting to an interesting person.

  • And today it's the actor David Harewood, who, yes, of course you remember him from Homeland, which was a massive hit a few years ago, but he's been in lots of other things.

  • And recently he became the president of RADA, the Royal Academy of Dramatic Art.

  • Basically, the actors acting school and all the famous names have been there, whether it's Anthony Hopkins or Romela Staunton or Tom Hiddleston.

  • And previous presidents have included John Giel, good, Kenneth Branagh and at one point, Princess Diana.

  • So there was lots to ask him about, about the acting school, the world of showbiz.

  • And also he's written very, very honestly about lots of things, like the racism he experienced growing up in Birmingham, his family's history when it comes to slavery, and also his own mental health because he had a breakdown quite soon, actually, after he graduated from Rada, the acting school where he's now the president of.

  • So that is what you'll hear on this episode of Newscast.

  • Newscast.

  • El presidente, I call myself.
