Her Dark Materials is USUALLY a bi-weekly podcast hosted by Faye and Rachael discussing the His Dark Materials novels chapter by chapter, spoiler-free. BUT in this very special bonus episode we chat to Brian Fisher, LMP himself and one of the lead puppeteers on the BBC/HBO TV show.

This episode does contain spoilers, so if you haven’t read the first HDM trilogy, back when you’re all caught up.

We are beside ourselves with excitement to be joined by our wonderful friend Brian, who tells us everything you might ever want to know about LMP, the unique working relationship between him and Ruth, and a gruesome tale involving a bike and a broken arm.

The biggest thank you to Brian for his time, and for always being such a huge supporter of the podcast!
