Sunny 16 Podcast

In this episode Rach, Clare and Graeme talk about using the power of using (in a good way)  Other People to help inspire, motivate and move our own creativity forwards.

On this weeks show the fabulous Rachel returns, and we're joined by the almost equally fabulous Paul Mckay from Analogue Wonderland for a good old chat about stuff, the acquisition of which is a constant cure/temporary balm for reality. Reflection on the new stuff that's come out this year, the recent availability of much loved stuff, the ever increasing cost of stuff, and of course the stuff we'd like for Christmas. It's officially stuffing time.
