Radio ditto presents Campfire, where we talk to inspiring folk from the worlds of tech, art and culture.

In this episode, we chat with theatre producer and all-round virtuoso Jo Mangan, Director and CEO of Ireland’s Carlow Arts Festival and Artistic Director of The Performance Corporation. She’s also currently curating the Ireland exhibition for the Prague Quadrennial Design Exhibition.

From DJing in the nightclubs of Venezuela to presenting Kofi Annan with one million signatures on behalf of Amnesty International, Jo’s career has been varied as it’s been illustrious.  

Jo talks about tempting her partner into showbusiness, how to fund the arts ethically and the impossibility of forcing creativity to fit corporate KPIs.

Jo’s zest for life is infectious. If you’re hungry for more, check out Jo's Campfire presents Big Boost Mondays event at ditto.tv/events to relive the event from our Clerkenwell studio on 4th November.
