Ladies n' Genmin welcome to another exciting episode of "The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes!And today, I'm delighted to welcome to The "GLT Clearing", Dame Eric Potts! Eric is wonderful Actor - a very funny man indeed - a warm and generous friend - a great singer - and a true Pantomime Dame of Distinction!Just Google him and you will see!Eric and I trained together at The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.As testament to his wonderful warmth and generosity, when I invited Eric to let me have some Programme notes for his Episode, this is what he wrote:"I had the honour of training alongside Chris Grimes at the Bristol Old Vic Theatre School far too long ago to remember before embarking on a short National Tour together of a very intense, possibly traumatic two-hander play (about Maximillian Kolbe of Auchwitz) which allowed us to savour the delights of such theatrical Meccas as Slough, Derby and the length and breadth of the Isle of Man.  Despite the artistic depth of the piece and the venue list this proved to be a remarkably enjoyable experience both creatively and personally.  It was a real joy to catch up with Chris again on one of his fabulous “A Good Listening To” Podcasts, dredging from the indulgent depths of theatrical anecdotary a few memories that surprised him and, as you will see, surprised me too!  Give it a listen - it’s only an hour and the telly is rubbish these days!  Eric.”A true delight of a conversation together indeed!So - thanks for listening to another episode of a "GLT with me CG!"The Podcast series that features "The Clearing":  Where all good questions come to be asked and all good stories come to be told!With some lovely juicy storytelling metaphors to also enjoy along the way:The Clearing itself - A Tree (where we get to "shake your tree to see which storytelling apples fall out, in the form of a lovely storytelling exercise called "5-4-3-2-1") - some Alchemy - some Gold - and finally a Cake with a Cherry on Top!Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a Clearing! Also think about William Shakespeare - and about Jaques in "As You Like It" in particular:"All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players;They have their exits and their entrances,And one man in his time plays many parts,His acts being seven ages..."Jaques: Act II Scene VIIAnd as my Guest in the Podcast:  Now is your 'moment in the sunshine' to share your story!Who are you?
