Glen Pickering, Director at the World Buskers Festival and Catarina Gutierrez, Startup Activator at Ministry of Awesome join co-hosts Jaya Gibson and David Binstead in (another) really extended edition. We discuss the state of the art, late Xmas present ideas, and really unusual specifics about a couple acts at the upcoming World Buskers Festival. We also taste and rate fine brews from our long-suffering sponsor: The Beer Library.
