In our new behind the scenes series, we interview Guardian journalists about their work, their highs and lows, their funny stories, and what they like about The Guardian.

In this video our Freelance Features Writer Sirin Kale describes how she once annoyed Azealia Banks when her a colourful metaphor went wrong and explains that it’s possible to be a fun and serious journalist at the same time.
