We're drowning in messages but starved of meaning

In this episode, Ryan and Richard sit down with Nick Clemmow, LOOPs Operations Director. Just a week before he heads off on paternity leave to talk about how communication has changed in the post-COVID, AI-powered world.

They get honest about what “Ops” actually means, how agencies rebuilt their workflows after lockdown, and why AI is changing not just how we make creative work, but how we talk to each other.

Expect banter about Slack pings, bad briefs, digital burnout, and a soon to be dad perspective on future leadership.

Welcome back to The Big Thing

This week, Richard and Ryan tackle one of the biggest questions in AI right now: who really owns what it creates?

From copyright lawsuits and global governance to AI’s impact on creative jobs, they unpack the ethics, the chaos, and the occasional absurdity of the fast-moving world of artificial intelligence.

Expect debates on deepfakes, scam sites, and the future of design plus a few classic LOOP tangents along the way.

Join them for another honest, funny and thought-provoking chat about the tech shaping our world (and our work).
