With Being Earnest, I hope to create a space away from the noise of everyday life and distraction. I hope to offer a place, to listen, to share, to be engaged and hopefully inspired.

Each week I'll be joined by sound people doing great things to have honest and genuine chats.

I hope you enjoy Being Earnest.

Thanks for Listening.

Many more thanks go to the following people:
