Una & Margaret are a mother and daughter who produced a graphic novel together called “On Sanity” which tells the story of Margaret’s experience of psychosis.

We also discuss their adventures in teaching Margaret digital skills.

Music this week is provided by Scum (Una’s son is in the band) with their excellent track “This Machine Will Kill."

*The sound is not fantastic on this episode, despite my editor's best efforts. There was a lot of preparation that went into preparing for this episode, and after listening I felt that the content of our conversation overrides the sound quality*

Martyn is a design director and has travelled around the world working for some very big companies.

Flat Moon fuse elements of funk, rock and psychedelia to form an alternative sub-genre they’ve dubbed Brit-Funk, or B-Funk.
