The Jump

Grace Mulvey & Niamh King

A comedy podcast where comedian Grace Mulvey and pop culture obsessive Niamh King ask the question 'what makes a great adaptation?'


In each episode we take a beloved book that has been made into a movie or show and do a deep dive into what the production got right (or very wrong). From banger soundtracks to dodgy casting, we get into what it takes to make The Jump from page to screen.
