  • EP2 - PUBLISHING DIRECTOR - Keshini Naidoo

    How to get into books? What’s a bad first sentence? Alan Kazam and the alternative Harry Potter universe. Nick pitches 'Robo-Tindal: Judgement on Chelmsford'. How BookTok has sent physical sales through the roof. Boardroom sausagefests. Fiction Girl and her sharpened commas. Female-run publishing and smashing the glass ceiling. Working with literary agents to get your book seen by publishers. Do judge a book by its cover! Naughty AI robots writing books. South Asian drag queens. And Sangita is pretty much horizontally chilled with the post-holiday vibes - so she doesn’t talk much for the second half - just dipping her toes in the sea of creative inspiration.

    Keshini is Publishing Director from Hera Books

    Look out for Missy by Raghav Rao - out in Sep 2024 - Sangita's gonna read it!

  • EP1 - WRESTLING PROMOTER - Garry Vanderhorne

    How did Garry set up an inclusive wrestling scene? Is wrestling creative? How do you turn a human man into an evil duck? What is Sangita's wrestling name? How did Garry help to mould Essex legend Will Ospreay into the AEW Superstar he is today? Bacon balaclavas? World Records for wrestling? Would Mr.Bean make a good wrestler? Can you wrestle in tweed? And how do you get into wrestling as a performer or promoter? And wise creative advice for anyone looking to get into performance arts!

    Thanks to our amazing guest Garry Vanderhorne from Lucha Britannia.
