Episode 30

The pressure of perpetual creativity.

If you're a football fan, you'll know a David Squires cartoon when you see one. Over the past decade, David's humorous drawings have become an integral part of football discourse, and an important way for fans to understand and connect with everything that's funny about the world of football. 

But with that great success, has inevitably come pressure. David talks us through the process he has for drawing his cartoons, the worries and the doubts he has about every stroke of the pencil. 

In today's episode, we get a an intimate look of the natural human emotions that come from being required to repeatedly provide humour and creativity.
