Music Talk 067 - Interviewing Samuel Roukin (Ghost)

·1 hr 30 min·5 clips

Roukin identifies the two moments that mattered most: Ghost saying 'no one fights alone' and removing his mask for the 141.

Graham opens from his shed setup and welcomes Sam in early from the other side of the stream. The mood stays relaxed from the start, with coffee, sparkly lights, and a bit of meal-deal chat. From there the talk shifts into Sam's work on Ghost and the huge response around the game launch. He describes the launch as a giant team effort, with hundreds of people involved and everyone working right up to the wire. The scale of it only really hit once his face started turning up in big public places. Seeing it on the Arc de Triomphe and in Piccadilly Circus still sounds unreal to him. He calls that kind of attention bananas. At the same time, he says he is not out searching for criticism, so the reaction has mostly felt positive and manageable. The meme side of the character comes up as well. He laughs about people sending him the Ghost meme and mentions Snoop Dogg having used it too. That gives the conversation a strange but very modern fan-life edge. Graham leans into that reaction and keeps the chat moving with live questions from the room. The second half goes deeper into filming logistics. Sam explains the motion-capture suit and the practical side of how the performance is captured. Graham treats those details like gold and keeps the conversation rooted in how the work actually happens. The whole thing keeps its loose livestream rhythm, with interruptions, quick affirmations, and side comments from chat. It ends on a warm, playful note, with Graham thanking him and calling out new fans from the chat.
