Spencer and Rory track down Financial Times critic Sarah Hemming and talk to her about her life as a critic. She's so passionate about her job, it really was a great chat. The episode focusses on all the work she has done; do critics all huddle together during press night and does she feel guilt giving a one star review? Hoping for 5* reviews from listeners for this one!
