Small Talk - Creative Discussion

In this episode, recorded in October, Dan and Craig discuss the imposter syndrome and how it affects us.

This week we were joined by Ria Blagburn of growbeyond.co.uk as we discussed Pokemon Go and legacy of your work.

This week myself and Craig talked about the abundance of talks in the creative industry at the moment.

After being told throughout Uni that we should study notable people in our field, is it a bit weird that we don’t? This week we talk about how our influences aren’t actually linked to our own professions.

Superman vs Batman broke a few records and smashed the box office in its first week of opening, yet it was still a bit sh**. We talk about whether this was a success or failure amongst other things on this weeks show.

As Ryan begins a new collaborative venture with his partner, we discuss our own experiences of working with teams and the joys and pitfalls of multiple heads tackling the same project.

Dan has a new job and took the opportunity to discuss the job finding process, the pitfalls of a bad CV and what it’s like for freelancers finding clients.

This week Ryan brought up Firewatch, a new game by Campo Santo that players have been cheekily asking for their money back, despite enjoying it, because of its playtime. We ask – ‘is this cool?’

No, you shouldn’t get your money back for games you finished and loved

Our first week back after a January break, we talked about Brooklyn Beckham’s Burberry contract and Nike’s shameless rip off of ‘Barcelona’ by Rob Whitworth.
