Summary

Joining us at Audible is documentary filmmaker, broadcaster and author Louis Theroux.

Theroux began his career in America working on Michael Moore's TV Nation, and from this sprang his Weird Weekends (1998-2000) where Theroux spent time on porn sets, with swingers, body builders and white supremacists, to name but a few. Then came the hugely popular series When Louis Met..., in which Theroux spent time with the likes of Max Clifford, Chris Eubank and Jimmy Savile.

When COVID hit our shores, Theroux's normal working life had to be abandoned as he could not travel. Instead, he spent some of his time launching a podcast, Grounded, in which he interviews celebrities he's admired, such as Jon Ronson, Michaela Cole and Ruby Wax. He also spent his time drinking, parenting and writing a diary - which later became a book: Theroux The Keyhole.

In this interview, Louis Theroux talks to Holly Newson about the book, wanting to be behind the camera and his own drunk tweeting. Plus, he tells us who are his greatest nemeses.

Honest, funny and painfully familiar

Thoroughly enjoyed listening to Louis' struggles and musings through lock down. It was all reassuringly familiar and refreshingly honest of him to expose his inner trials and tribulations of working parenthood during these 'interesting times'.
