Having a GAS with Greg

Today, I'm having a GAS with Steve Albini, the founder of Electrical Audio recording studios in Chicago.

Steve is most widely known for having engineered In Utero, by Nirvana; Surfer Rosa by Pixies; Rid of Me by PJ Harvey and The Weirdness by The Stooges, but has worked on literally thousands of albums besides these in his extensive career.

Steve is also notorious for his stance on analogue recording techniques, and is a vocal critic of digital media, citing its inevitable medium-term obsolescence as a fatal flaw which has never been properly addressed.

Today, I'm having a gas with Rory Sutherland. The vice-chairman of Ogilvy UK. 

Before founding Ogilvy’s behavioral science practice, Rory was a copywriter and creative director at Ogilvy for over 20 years, having joined as a graduate trainee in 1988.

He has variously been President of the IPA, Chair of the Judges for the Direct Jury at Cannes, and has spoken at TED Global.

He writes regular columns for the Spectator, Market Leader and Impact, and also occasional pieces for Wired.

He is the author of two books: The Wiki Man, and Alchemy, The surprising Power of Ideas which don't make Sense.

Today, I'm having a GAS with...Hugh Todd, a highly awarded creative director in London.

He's worked for MullenLowe, Leo Burnett, VCCP, J. Walter Thompson and BBH.

One of Hugh's more recent campaigns for MullenLowe was the 'We are Nurses' campaign for the NHS, a 360 campaign to recruit much-needed staff for the UK's healthcare provider.

The work proved incredibly successful, helping reverse the negative trend in UCAS applications, with figures up 6%. www.mullenlowegroup.com/news/we-are-nurses

Hugh's work can be found, unsurprisingly, at www.hughtodd.com
