Episode #144 with Stephen Yemoh
With the upcoming release of Season 2 of 'Squid Game', on today's episode I chat with BAFTA Award winning Executive Producer Stephen Yemoh. We talk about his work on the Squid Game: The Challenge TV series, how he started off his career within the entertainment industry and also the importance of representation. We also talk about his heritage, his love for music, Liverpool F.C and of course, Stephen shares the quote that continually inspires him.
Stephen began his career working at Sky Sports on Soccer AM before moving on to work on a range of shows at Endemol including Fame Academy, The Match and Soccer Aid.
As a freelance producer he’s worked on many reality and entertainment shows including Comic Relief, Love Island, Ant and Dec’s Saturday Night Takeaway, I’m a Celebrity Get Me Out of Here and two series of The Circle, and now currently works at Studio Lambert.
