Will and Steve are back in the studio and, this time, they're turning on the third microphone.
Each week, a new guest will come to talk and drink, and maybe even inspire.
The only rule is that there are no novelists.
Actors, musicians, painters, sculptors, conductors, playwrights and magicians come to talk about their creative processes and the joys and difficulties of their chosen industries.
Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy (https://acast.com/privacy) for more information.
Poet, John McCullough, is the first guest to share a drink with Will and Steve in this series. (An entire bottle of Japanese whisky. Oops.)
And then they talked about stuff. Probably.

MARK VESSEY
Back in the Brighton Studio, Will and Steve entertain the British visual artist Mark Vessey.
Mark is a photographic artist who celebrates icons of popular culture by collaborating and curating their collections of vinyl, magazines and other items to create a meaningful 'portrait' of his subject. He has worked with DJs Norman 'Fatboy Slim' Cook and Carl Cox and created a piece dedicated to Kate Moss using copies of Vogue Magazine where she appears on the cover.
Taking risks, working in a hotel, having a buffer, Mark talks about how he took the plunge into living the creative life of a visual artist and how curating his own collection of Attitude magazine perfectly encapsulates that younger period of his life. He wants to get his hands on Elton John's collection, and he pronounces 'Muesli' in a weird way.

ZOE LYONS
Will and Steve travel to a new studio in Brighton to interview the wonderfully funny Zoe Lyons, talking about inspiration, stage fright and being 'in the flow'.
Zoe has appeared on BBC's Live at the Apollo as well as being a regular panelist on Mock the Week and QI. She was nominated for the If.Comedy Best Newcomer award and won the Nivea Funny Women Award as well as Dave TV's Funniest Joke of the Fringe award in 2008.
They talk about Joan Rivers, getting a 'Tight Ten' and her new show, Werewolf, that she hasn't written yet but has a very lovely poster. (Tickets available here: https://zoelyons.seetickets.com/tour/zoe-lyons (https://zoelyons.seetickets.com/tour/zoe-lyons))
A fun and light-hearted insight into the creative life of a stand-up comic where no topic is off limits - as long as you approach it in the right way.
