Question for you if you're willing to answer! Speaking on inspirations 7:50 - I have to ask, are you familiar with the show Comedy Bang Bang? I love "anti-interview" shows. Tom Green, Spaceghost Coast to Coast, Eric Andre, Between Two Ferns, etc.

I’ve been wanting someone to do a long, quality interview with her for years. Thank you so much, and for letting her speak without interruption.

OMG. There was a point in the interview where Amelia had been speaking non-stop for quite a while and I paused to appreciate how the boys DIDN'T INTERRUPT HER!!!

I think Amelia’s timing and improvisation is what separates her from so many other interviewers. She’s always able to make a moment out of a question, and she’s not afraid to feed off the guest, which is so impressive.

Thats her 'undue advantage' and she utilitizes it well ❤❤

It’s nice to actually see the genuine version of Amelia when she’s not in character. She seems incredibly grounded so it’s nice to see her doing so well. Very confident she could broaden out into other creative avenues outside of Chicken shop date now as well.

Amelia's anti-interview style is nice because its not completely an anti-interview it just feels like a kick it session with the real life awkwardness that occurs

Okay, so I have a huge confession. I went on a few dates with a girl named Katie in 2022. I watch a lot of KZread and told her about Chicken Shop Date and Hot Ones. For my birthday, Kate made me a chicken shop date box. FELT AND EVERYTHING! I still have it. It has two chicken drumsticks in it made from dog toys. When I was given it, I always felt like I should make a tweet or a TikTok about it but I've never wanted it to be a viral thing on the internet. But this feels like the perfect time to tell the world. Big ups Katie! Big ups Amelia. Big ups Naomi. 🐔🍗

A few dates? I would have married that girl

As someone who's produced TV talk shows forever (I worked at Fallon for nearly 12 years), I've been insanely impressed by Chicken Shop Date which, in the same vein as Hot Ones, really took talk shows into the next generation and I think makes something really, really special. To me, it's the future. And I am so thrilled for her to get this sort of shine. -Gavin P (1/2 of AI for Humans)

I think that this sort of playing into yourself, and taking humour from the way that you are is essential for this kind of authentic comedy. like that its funny because its real

From covering her on the breakdown to interviewing her. So full circle

This lady is going places. Has an incredible vision of her capabilities and where she can fit in.

I think the thing Bobbi Althoff doesn't manage to do as well as Amelia is the fact that she's endlessly charming & her awkwardness in the interview doesn't feel like she's pretending to be superior or above the people she's "dating" but rather just her personality. You never feel like Amelia isn't on some level interested in who she's talking to, which is nice. Bobbi takes it too far LOL

@ichiban6004

I genuinely feel like Bobbi doesn’t know what she’s doing. I could understand she has her own humour and the uncomfortable nature is I guess the point? But I feel like she’s just genuinely bad at interviewing her guests. She’s not witty at all and even in her rudeness it isn’t appealing in any way..I can’t understand it.

I love how Amelia goes over her stories. You can tell how passionate she is about her work/journey/art. Most of all, you can tell how passionate she is about not gatekeeping anything. She’s really the type to outdo herself and help others along the way instead of focusing on what others are doing/letting outside noise affect her. I love how she was self aware enough to find the right work life balance (for herself), to prioritize her creation vs what would get her easy money (not that there’s anything wrong with that), etc. She’s so true to herself. That realness and authenticity very clearly comes out in the work that she puts out. You can’t help but be a fan of her work ethic &/or content (even beyond ChxShop). Just love her 🐔🍗❤️

Wow what an interview. Amelia is so eloquent, thoughtful and has a vision. I’m really looking forward to what she’ll do with her career in the next 10 years.

I LOVE seeing this, the parts switching and Amelia being the one interviwed so cool I wanted to see a big talk like this w her for ages

So thaaaats why we don’t have more content 😫 but she’s so right for how she goes about it because when she does drop something, it doesn’t get saved as a watch later. I’ll stop what I’m doing and prioritize her. …The Daniel Kaluuya one is of my favorites!

Wow what a lovely guest.I've wanted her to lift the curtain on what she has been building for a while and this episode scratched that itch and more. Thanks to you all for such amazing work and insights!-- hope the travel is going well

You all are so fun to watch, what a great interview everyone! Amelia, your Chicken Shop Dates seem so natural and unplanned, thank you for sharing all of the hard work and planning behind the episodes. Your dates and red carpet interviews shows you have a keen sense of reading people, and now I see you have a strong business acumen as well. Congrats!!

one of the best interviews so far, very inspiring to see her reflect so freshly on her path and growth. Great personality.

Just to add to the conversation at 3:15, I didn’t know about Amelia’s channel until you guys covered it. It’s really nice to see that more than half of the people you interview are people I’m familiar with, but it is also great to find out about people from coverage on the channel as well

Loved learing her 10+ year journey, especially the words of wisdom at the end and from her dad.

My multiverse for real

The interview I was NEVER expectoing on this channel, fantastic surprise👏🏻

She was actually so natural I liked her very much.

Really enjoyed her ability to carry on a conversation so fluidly.

Amelia is amazing. Loved hearing her journey. And Colin and Samir, always such great quality interviews.

Amelia is one of my all time favorite creators. Chicken shop date is so unique and brilliant. What a fantastic interview, it was so interesting hearing the behind the scenes of the show.

The fact that she isn't analyzing her stats every day but creating when and what feels organic is precisely why she stands out. Mad props.

Thanks for this interview. I’ve always loved Amanda’s quirky little show. For me it is by far the most British thing in the universe - the dry humour, the uptightness(?), and ofc, the chicken shop, the most quintessential British establishment imo. To know that amidst all the success, CSD is still kept essentially independent has made me appreciate the show even more and have so much respect for her as a creative. CSD is basically the A24 of KZread content.

Love hearing Amelia's confidence. I hope she does end up collaborating more and sharing more with the world. Please don't end CSD and certainly not on Drake's episode. I think the non-scheduled episodes allow you to continue this format forever 😘🥀 She's a real doll and a great representation of Barbie 💕

It's cool to see the worlds of KZread collide and the appreciation y'all have for each other is beautiful. I think more collaborations like these will surface and I'm here for it! Y'all really made your trip to the UK count! 🔥

This was so insightful and relatable. Thank you for having her on 🤗

Loved this interview. I've been enjoying Amelia's CS dates for several years and hope she continues them. So much fun to watch.

The comment about your producer leaving resonated so much. My best times in my career are always when an amazing person moves onwards and upwards. I always strive to be the dumbest person in the room because the most satisfying success comes from the smarter people you hire around you. I loved this interview so much. I'm going to make my 14 yr old son watch it so he can truly appreciate how hard you have to graft to create success and that it is a continuous cycle of hypothesise, test and learn.

I could listen to her speak for hours. Great interview lads!

This was such a good interview, she has such a great story & you guys were great interviewers also!

Loved this episode! I always knew Amelia was super smart by watching Chicken Shop but seeing the whole trajectory & what it’s taken for the show to become as big as it has, is so interesting and inspiring 💕

the moment she said leslie knope i saw it so strongly. genius! everytime I peer behind the curtain at an act that seems effortless, i realize just how many years of honing and work and iteration it took to get there. amelia is amazing, and this was a fantastic interview -- thanks guys!

LOVED THIS EPISODE! So cool hearing about Amelia’s background, she’s so well spoken and transparent!

Fantastic interview! First one I watched in its entirety. Amelia is so fun and talented! Really cool to hear her story.

This is the interview we were all waiting for. She is spectacular, really brings the best of both worlds - comedy and journalism!

It's so soo cool to hear Amelia's story. She is the coolest honestly.

Can't believe chicken shop date is 9 years old! I remember watching the ghetts episode back in the day

Really good quality long form interview - thank you

So good. So happy for Amelia and all of her successes - I can’t wait to watch her continue to break media barriers.

I really loved this interview, really opened up my eyes into how much goes into the process

I love the intro/outro, and never skip!

This was a great insight into Amelia’s concept - really enjoyed getting the ‘behind the scenes’!

Loved every second of this interview.

If anything I think Emma Chamberlain could be a guest on CSD and maybe Amelia could be a guest on Anything goes.. I think its possible now that Emma was a guest on hot ones and she is having guests on her podcast. I would really enjoy that crossover!!

Incredible interview, I learned a lot from her words and your great questioning and listening. Thank you so much.

Been waiting for this one!

This video was a master class in really "working" KZread to her levels of success. You are fantastic at interviews.

I think you guys are awesome. Always have the best guest and as a londoner I'm glad you brought her on

Wonderful interview.. as an interviewer I love both !

The Mattie Healy episode was brilliant and was what got me hooked on Chicken Shop Date. Hilarious

I was very honoured to get to meet @AmeliaDimoldenberg at a KZread event way back when. I had 1,000 subscribers, she had quite a lot more. She was so humbled, but what was even nicer was she would chat to normal KZreadrs. Some people were there and their question was "how many subs have you got?" and if you said an amount that wasn't for them, they moved on quickly. She didn't care, she was always amazing, upbeat and I'm so glad to have got to watch this interview and let the world see how amazing she is in real life

It is sooooo fun to watch a women really into her confidence! Congratulations! Incredible to watch you grow

love this and her. she is so obviously passionate about what she does and incredibly smart. i always find myself hoping someone i love ends up on her show!

Fantastic interview! Thank you!

I love Amelia’s content but it’s also so interesting to hear her talk just as herself! 💗

you guys pulled it off with this one

Yessss love this! Such an interesting interview! 🎉

I enjoyed listening to this Pod so much! I kept on listening during my whole day, Amelia is the sweetest and hearing about her Journey is so inspiring and insightful. Thanks a lot!

Thank you for this episode ❤

A 10/10 interview! Amelia is fantastic 🙏🏻

great video, as always!

“Our office, it’s like a bunch of people who watch a lot of KZread.” Dang, you hiring? Cause I already do that.

Been hanging for this one!

i really love that she refuses to have sponsors or add video length just for more money. it keeps the integrity of her show and i really like how it feels more traditional. it's pretty rare in the youtube space not to have sponsors

amelia dimz is a national treasure

This interview is so informative and interesting! Inspiring too. Thanks!

I love Amanda and now have learned about Colin and Samir! I am 68 years old, growing up in the 60's and 70's was very interesting but, I find young people these days fascinating.

Such a great conversation. Thanks Amelia!

What a breath of fresh air. Love the content. So much value

You guys should get Matt Rife on the show ... another person who majority think was an overnight success . Also its amazing how he crowdfunded his Special, Going to definitely be amazing for aspiring artists and creatives.

Amelia is the best. So glad you interviewed her!!!

Loved this so much!!!

Yay!!!! Im glad you all interviewed her. I love uk KZread, been a fan since her ksi interview!
