This show is a manifestation of the belief that creativity is a part of human nature and that more often than not, people that consider themselves creative in entirely different disciplines from one another will have so much in common. Being a designer and artist for many years myself and having had a good many conversations with musicians, battle rappers, painters.. etc. I decided during the lockdown that I'd record some of these conversations with creative people and put them online.
** WARNING: We don't only talk about the creative thing I know the guest for in these episodes, we tend to just talk to each other as people and see where the conversation goes. Some of the topics we cover can be adult and/or explicit so please keep that in mind and don't listen if you are underage or highly sensitive.
