The world of podcasts has been something that has come pretty recently to me. For months and months, I would hear people talk about podcasts. Podcast this. Podcast that. “Hey mate, hope you’re well, fancy being on my podcast?” The word podcast has been lingering around the fringes of my life for far too long. Sometimes it would get too much. Some days I just felt like turning to the world and saying “Enough with the bloody podcasts!”. Of course, I never did say this. But then I started listening to podcasts and well, bugger me, I really bloody enjoyed them. So much so that I now have a podcast. What a life.This podcast is very much as the title suggests. It’s me talking to someone else. Another person. A person who works in a creative industry - music, comedy, film, writing, acting, television. Whatever it is. If they've got a creative occupation and a flexible calendar, then I'm going to talk to them for this podcast. I really hope that the conversations we have are interesting and manage to shine a light on the creative process and a life in the arts. I really enjoyed being a part of them. Christ, I'm boring myself now. What a millennial prick. Do me a favour, listen to the podcast. Cheers, Tom. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
