James (the writer) and Steph (the artist) finally stamp out the gremlins that have plagued the podcast over recent weeks, and have a good old catch-up about their current projects.

They compare notes about Earth Requiem and A Place Unknown at Arts Centre Washington. Then Steph chats about her experiences with Creative Age and powering through the latest iterations of her Skin Maps. James shares some of the work he's been doing with Northern Stage and floats an exciting idea he's had for a second podcast.

James (the writer) catches up with Steph (the artist) about the massive piece she's exhibiting as part of Earth Requiem at Arts Centre Washington.

Steph explains what the exhibition is all about, and how the figurative consumption in her work turned into the literal consumption of all her time and headspace for the duration of the project!

James (the writer) and Steph (the artist) chat about the progress they've made with their various arty farty projects.

Steph has had a fun month, working with other creatives and continuing her work with Creative Age, but this hasn't left her much time for skin mapping. Meanwhile, James has found the fun in his writing, is cracking on with his Northern Stage residency, and is coming to the end of his Creative Development Fellowship with Sunderland Culture.
