Who would have thought that a Podcast exploring the crossover between theater and table top RPGs was a thing that Chris needed but turns out it was. When he found the podcast via Twitter he found it equal parts intriguing, delightful, informative and slightly confusing but it's now on his "regular listen" list. We are delighted that the cast came o…

We are joined by Dan Tyrie and Karl Dudás from the Explorers of Elsewhere Youtube channel and The Tavern Between Dimensions Podcast, both of which are creators in their own right.

It's rare that we get a chance to chat with Improvisors but we aim to take the chance whenever we can. Jorin has been doing improv since 1991 and Chris had the opportunity to take two classes with him at the Robin Hood International Improv festival in Nottingham in September 2022. He too the opportunity to ask him tto come onto the show and we real…

It's not often that we get to chat with theatre makers and this can be because they are usually very busy people. You have to also remember that they often perform multiple jobs to do what they do amongst other things like real life. So it's a great pleasure to be able to talk to Tom Brennan who is one of the founding members of the Wardrobe Ensemb…

For the first time in about 2 years we are able to have a face to face chat. Neil Hampton (aka 14Eight) is a Bristol based creative who is fairly new to the scene of being in markets. In his words Neil makes "gothic home decor and jacket junk" which if you are into that kind of scene you will know what those things are and probably will take a look…

I was honoured to be asked by Andy & Lyndon to come back on the show I had to say yes. Since we have met them both before the chat is a little different but we try to focus on the changes that life can bring to both throw curveballs at your creativity or aid it. We also create miniature worlds created in science flasks! Please go and check out the …

Geoff got in touch with us via Twitter asking us if we wanted to have a chat about a comic he was working on.

We had a really interesting chat with Geoff about his past work and more current work with EroTech. We dived into how desi…

We had a lovely chat with the very talented Grimly Fiendish Crafts who creates very cute and spooky things out of felt, fabric and that sort of thing. The really fun part about their work is that a lot of them have something unique because they are all hand-made. We talked about not being good at "traditional art", being a kinesthetic learner, the …

We met Aru about 4 years ago at I think the same convention we met Sarah Millman because they were tabling with CB.

Let us introduce the incredible artwork of Morrighan Corbel. We found her through Twitter somehow and we are incredibly glad we did.
