The Wilde Wilbur Podcast - Episode 7, 23/01/21 - with Lucy Hersery


Listen Later

In this fantastic conversation with Lucy, we discuss all things art, the importance of and connection to Place, keeping ducks peacocks and chickens, and evolving etiquette in the socio-technological era. This might be my new favourite podcast I've done so far, and I really hope you enjoy it too.

CORRECTION: When I refer to Frasier Island, I was of course meaning to refer to Flinders Island. Oops.
