  • GBA 45 Hannah
    In GBA 45 we get better acquainted with Hannah. She talks about being arrested for dressing like a zombie, unemployment in austere times, creative writing, the right to protest and whether it’s a good time to be a loud bisexual and being middle class.
    We also try and puzzle out whether I’m an evil person for owning an iPhone when I understand the moral problems with its production.
    She was a "Starbucks Zombie" -

  • GBA 43 Louise #2
    In GBA 43 we get even better acquainted with Louise. This conversation is really a response to our first one and covers a big subject that was missed out. We talk about the death of Louise's step dad and how his life and death have influenced her. We move out from there into a broader conversation about the death of people you love. Which makes it all sound very heavy, but there is plenty of light and warmth in this conversation.
    You can listen to Louise's first GBA here: http://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/gba-19-louise
