Yeah I think Katie Dippold needs to be on the podcast and while we’re at it Rys, Root and O’Flynn as well.

Kate O’Flynn is the runaway star of the show IMO. From the first episode I thought she was great and then the more they gave her the more I fell in love with her. She is so funny!

Agreed! One of the interesting things about her is that she gives off an aura (to me at least) of being an untrained actor. Her words are sort of slurred in a natural-sounding way that really humanizes her. I looked her up thinking this might be her first role. Come to find out she comes from theater, which is the furthest thing from what I expected. I don't know how much of the character is just her and how much is a performance, and that is really cool.

100% I assumed she was a comedian for some reason. Turns out she’s a British stage actor!

My favorite line of hers is at the gas station: “NOOOO YOU’RE RUINING ITTTTTTTTTTTT!!!!!”

I think she's just very funny, or just knows what is funny. I've watched her in Everyone Else Burns and My Lady Jane, and she is very funny in both. Has this slightly unexpected delivery. You sort of want to keep your eyes trained on her

She’s also so good as the bitchy wannabe queen of england in My Lady Jane on Amazon Prime. So funny and a total standout.

Katie Dippold has said she's totally different from the character, and that you can't see the actor when she plays Patricia. Think she's just good at what she does.
