Paths is a podcast about unusual lives, often marked by dramatic change or a sense of living different lives simultaneously. It begins with an actor curiously seeking out the little-known stories of other actors who went on to do different things, such as becoming an astronomer, a CEO of a medical society or a director at Kickstarter. In the future it will encompass different kinds of stories. From all kinds of artists who went on to other professions to people who made the opposite journey becoming artists, then further still to all kinds of unusual life stories. Come with me as we see where this exploration leads. If you think you have a story like this yourself or know someone who does, please contact the podcast at pathspodcastpeople@gmail.com If you enjoy the podcast and would like to contribute to keep it running, you can do so at Patreon.com/pathspodcast Find us on twitter https://twitter.com/PathsPodcast

013 - Esh Alladi: Award-winning Actor and Doctor (Simultaneously)

A conversation about Esh’s life. A classically trained and award-winning actor and simultaneously a fully fledged doctor who works in A&E whenever he’s not acting. We cover so many topics in this conversation including studying medicine at Cambridge, studying acting at Lamda, what it’s really like on the ground in the NHS, what it’s like working at the National Theatre and how the fearlessness of his acting colleagues there took him aback, winning the UK Theatre Award for his performance in Hobson’s Choice at the Royal Exchange, the internal experience of performance, being a successful person who suffers from depression, coming out to his parents as bi and how being a doctor during Covid has changed his relationship with the medical profession.

Recorded 15-03-21
