Create More Podcast by Ben Stuart

Hello and welcome to part 1 of episode 23 of the create more podcast all about architecture. Sam Barcley who I interviewed back in episode 15 about kickstarter interviews me about how I got into architecture. We talk all about the (rather lengthy) route I went to studying to become an architect. I studied at Nottingham university for 7 years, and have been at Make architects for almost 6 years. In my time at university I have designed skyscrapers, concrete freerunning sculptures, libraries & observation towers. At Make I have worked on UBS banks headquarters and also am currently working in a skyscraper in the city of London. Its been a long journey with an equally long podcast. Enjoy.

Hello and welcome to a Create More Podcast first. A live debate, based on the EU Referendum. Gisela Stuart, the labour MP and Brexit Chair, against Laura Sandys, conservative MP and chair of the European movement. All this was hosted by Bill Webb, who is back in London at Make after running the Make Beijing office for 3 years. We start the podcast with a chat with Bill about why he set up the debate at Make offices in London and why he feels its important to hear both sides of the argument before making a decision. We then have a 45 minute debate with questions from the audience at the end, along with a poll of the office! It was really interesting debate and neither women held back. Apologises for the poor audio for the first half of the debate, if you skip ahead to 37 minutes when the debate starts the microphones get turned on. Enjoy.

Episode 21 is with Labour MP Gisela Stuart who is heading up the Brexit campaign, along with Boris Johnson. Gisela is featuring more and more prominently in the news, and with it being such a hot topic I thought it would be really interesting to hear her side of the brexit campaign. I should point out the Gisela is also my Mum. We have a chat all about the history of the EU, her reason for wanting to the leave the EU and more importantly my lack of pocket money as a child. Enjoy.
