Hey there, and welcome back to The Creative Boom Podcast. I’m Katy Cowan, and it’s so good to have you with us for another season, during which we get up close and personal with some of the most interesting folks in the creative industry.

This time around, we're keeping things laid-back but insightful, chatting about everything from the big questions to the little things that make our creative lives tick.

Picture this: Aaron Draplin sharing how he’s learning to take it easy after recently turning 50, finding peace amid the buzz. Or imagine getting some life-changing tips from Eleanor Burt on keeping those desk-bound aches and pains at bay.

We’re also diving into Sean J Cuttino’s adventure of bringing his first children’s book to life, and Teresa Ferreira will be sharing her journey towards a more sustainable design practice after almost seven years as head of design at the FT.

And then there’s Christoph Niemann, who’s going to walk us through his creative process, showing us how to shake off those stuck moments and spark new, vibrant ideas.

We’ve also got Joanna Henly joining us to talk about facing fears head-on and how that shapes our creative endeavours. And Simon Davies will share how creativity is rejuvenating Stoke-on-Trent, turning the Potteries into a beacon of culture and innovation once more.

But that’s just a taste. We’ve got a whole lineup of incredible guests this season, each with their own unique story and pearls of wisdom to share.

So, grab your favourite cup of something warm, find a comfy spot, and join us every Monday morning. It’s all about finding joy in the creative journey, learning a thing or two, and maybe even having a few laughs along the way.
