joIt's really unfortunate that DW won't allow embedding content from Twitter -- because of that, I can't directly embed some of the following videos.
1. Season 4 Preview from Vanity Fair -- the article includes some new photos, as well as video that explores what we can expect this season. Worth a watch!
2. Interview with Sophie Skelton on Brianna's journey in Season 4
3. Cast interview from MTV News (featuring Sam, Caitriona, Sophie and Richard):

Caitriona Balfe Interview
Jun. 22nd, 2018 11:09 amjoVideo interview for Gold Derby. Cait's internet connection was a bit dodgy, so the video freezes up from time to time, but the audio is fine.
joHere are links to separate interviews Sam and Caitriona gave to the LA Times. There's a video of the full interview at the end of each article (approx 30 minutes each -- not to be confused with the short clip video at the start of each article).

joQualifies as a long read, in my book. Not sure we learn anything new but if you're a fan of Sam's you'll likely enjoy it:
To find Jamie’s mindset at any given time, Heughan takes advantage of his access to the only other person in the world who knows the character better—Gabaldon, the author who created him. “We have the same sense of who Jamie is, in terms of his essential character,” Gabaldon tells me over email. “When Sam’s prepping for a new season, he’ll ask me ‘Where is he?’ I’ll then do a brain-dump for him—just write down everything I happen to know about Jamie’s state of mind and how he feels about what’s been happening and what’s going to happen.” Heughan says looking at Jamie’s experiences collectively help him find the character, but after four years in the role, he’s almost like a muscle. “I had to go do ADR the other day, and just being back in Scotland, I noticed my accent got stronger. I feel like I can sort of turn him on and turn him off now.”
Roger Fans! Interview with Richard Rankin
Oct. 6th, 2017 12:00 pmjoHere's a very nice interview with Richard Rankin from Parade.
When Claire tells her story about time travel, Roger believes it before Brianna. Why do you think Roger believes it?
No, he doesn’t. No he doesn’t, he doesn’t believe it. I think Roger is the kind of guy that keeps an open mind even in the face of impossibility. I think he’s the kind of guy that really gives people a lot of time and the benefit of the doubt. I don’t think he believed Claire at first. Roger’s an academic, he’s an historian, at that point in time I don’t think he believed that it was technically possible.
joFrom Variety, please listen to this podcast interview with Caitriona Balfe and Tobias Menzies as they discuss Claire and Frank's character progression in season 3.
Balfe added that it was important to the writers and actors to convey that Frank and Claire’s relationship wasn’t doomed from the start.
“We really wanted to retain the fact that at a certain point, this was a happy and productive relationship,” she explained. “That had Claire not experienced something that was so much deeper and touched her soul rather than just touched her heart, she probably could’ve come back and been very happy with Frank. For Frank, having learned of the betrayal, it’s hard to move past that. But at the same time, they’re two people who have a lot of respect for each other, maybe not in the passionate sense but in the platonic sense, it’s there.”
Meet Sophie Skelton
Sep. 9th, 2017 10:31 amjo
Get to know Sophie Skelton a bit better in this interview done by Harper's Bazaar:
It's almost like the pressure of playing a real person. A lot of these women have been reading about Brianna for 20 years. I was three at the time Brianna comes into the second book. That’s always the scary thing about it... You owe it to [viewers] to play her how they imagined, but obviously with the book everyone sees everything differently. Luckily, when I was prepping for the role, I read the books and became a fan of Brianna as well, so anything [fans] feel they want to keep of her, I probably feel, too. I feel very protective of the character.
Great interview with Cait, Sam and Tobias
Sep. 9th, 2017 10:01 amjo
Variety has a really lovely interview with Caitriona, Sam and Tobias about their characters' journeys in season 3:
If there’s one thing that’s clear about all three actors, it’s that they take their responsibility to the show and its fans seriously. They’re all quite happy to mock themselves — at one point, there’s a long conversational segue about how Sam would happily wear down Tobias’ superior tennis skills through the deployment of stubborn, unskilled doggedness.
But all three grow contemplative and thoughtful when asked about the complicated lives of the people they play. Over the past two seasons of the show, it’s become obvious that they’ve all worked hard to make the emotional bonds among their characters meaningful and even a little unpredictable.
A very different interview
Sep. 6th, 2017 09:36 amjo
Sam, Cait and Matthew B. Roberts are interviewed by British Heritage Travel -- and it's a nice change from the usual Outlander interview.
BHT: When BHT spoke to Diana Gabaldon, author of the novels, she said that it was a credit to the Scottish spirit that they didn’t actually succeed in erasing the Highland culture.
Heughan: Yeah, absolutely. It’s a very vibrant culture and I think it still feels close to the Scottish people, even now. There’s still talk of independence and there’s a constant state of, not unrest, but of the chance that there could be something better. I guess Scotland has always been the underdog, and we’re quite good at doing that.
Lovely interview with Richard Rankin
Sep. 4th, 2017 07:58 amjo
This is a lovely, long interview with Richard Rankin from the Herald Scotland.
While Rankin wouldn't begin acting until his twenties, there were signs of a budding performer long before that. "I went through many a creative outlet," he says. "My dad was a drummer and into his music. That was something he had pursued early on before he joined the police.
"My earliest memory of music was listening to Billy Joel. I have many vivid memories of me dancing around in a nappy singing Uptown Girl."
joFirst up: an interview with Sam and Caitriona:
And an interview with Steven Cree and John Bell, Older Ian Murray and Young Ian:

Another interview from SDCC
Jul. 24th, 2017 08:52 amjoThis one is with MTV, and features Sam and Cait only. I like this one -- the interviewer asks questions not usually asked of them that aren't necessarily show-related. I have to say that I am getting really tired of the questions about the print shop scene, and I don't understand why they're being so cagey re: what episode that will be -- it's 306. Just a head's up -- the sound is really low -- at times it's difficult to hear (especially the interviewer). You will want to turn up the volume a fair bit.
