Shrink the Box - A new series of the podcast where actor Ben Bailey Smith and 6 Music broadcaster and trained psychotherapist Nemone Metaxas unpack some of television’s most compelling and complex fictional characters, trying to unpack why they act the way that they do. Essentially, if these characters went to a therapist, what would be the conversations that would come up?

The first series looked at characters within Top Boy, Fleabag and I May Destroy You. Now its the turn of Frasier Crane, and why he is so good at dishing out advice to other people, whilst never being able to settle his own personal life. Ben and Nemone unpack Frasier’s often complex relationship with his father.
