Forty Minutes With
The world's first general interest talk show.
Time-limited interviews with some of the most interesting, inspiring people in the world.
There are plenty of places for A listers to promote their next book, film, album, product or whatever they have going on that week. But what about the incredible, fascinating people who don't get that platform?
The Guests
Leonie Moreton: 22 July
Managing Director of post production studio, Coffee & TV, Leonie is a role that's overly male-dominated, in an industry that's "pitifully diverse." She's also an incredible advocate and force for change – doing everything she can to open doors to the next generation.
Nils Lagergren: 5 August
Decay is at the very heart of Nils' Ghost Fleet art project. He builds model ships, sinks them, lets them degrade naturally in brackish Swedish waters, and recovers them to install as installations.
Emma Nichols: 19 August
Some of the oldest places you can find our history is in books. Ancient manuscripts that require attention to keep them in tact. Emma's work as a book and paper conservator at the University of Cambridge Library does just that.
Ace Ruele: 2 September
A motion capture artist and creative entrepreneur who happens to also be a stateless ex-con at constant risk of deportation from the UK.
The HOST
Dominic Danson
A trained journalist and actor turned marketer and PR guy, Dominic has over twenty years of experience interviewing people from all walks of life. He likes to keep things conversational, natural, but still finds rooms to dig into the nuggets of interesting information that people offer up.
Helming a show like Forty Minutes With is a new endeavour for Dominic. Typically found behind the camera, he's looking forward to seeing what stories come to light in our pilot season.
"I'm proud to be leading Forty Minutes With and can't wait to see where this journey takes us. During my career in both journalism and marketing, I've met some incredible people with stories that are begging to be told. But there's nowhere really to give them the profile they deserve. I think it's time to change that."
