This week I get to sit down with comic creator, journalist, zine maker extraordinaire that is Caitlin Cook. Better known as Cooklin online I've been following her work a long while after discovering her comics about depression and then getting an insight into Asexuality through her other work. Not one to shy away from the harder topics and with a great sense of humour and story telling I thought she'd be a great person to catch up with.

We sit down to talk varied backgrounds of artists and how that comes into play when you create and market your work but also how that helps balance your own expectations of what can be achieved. Caitlin has a storied background in media and news and had a book coming out in the near term dealing in memoirs and sexuality so I highly recommend checking her out and giving her a follow to find out more!

This week I sit down to talk, trail and error. To talk failure to talk about how easy is it to be stopped at the first hurdle, the first locked door and figuring out the world. I am a person who for my own faults does not give up easily. I'll try to make it fit. To make it work. To build the thing my self but I don't know I was always like this. So lets talk about it and coin a phrase.

Rate of inconvenience. How many inconveniences do you need to have for you to no longer progress and to either give up or frustrate/convince yourself not to move forward and if you can identify that number...can you improve it?

This week I sit down with actor, teacher and overall performance creator ⁨@ryangilmartin5876⁩ as we talk about a challenge. Ryan like myself is from a background in small towns and villages but also like me has been and seen plenty of the world. Creating shows and experiences Ryan mixes history, folklore and insight to try and bring more creative opportunities to the world.

So this week we talk about the challenge of doing that in smaller and more rural places. Embracing the native homesteads and looking at how places like the East Midlands, Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire and Humberside (I could keep going) face a challenge with not only finding creative and conceptually forward spaces but how generating those places can be a challenge too. To bring something not purely functional to an area where frivolity is met with suspicion is a challenge and a topic close to my core!

I do suggest you check out Ryan and what he's up to. At the time this episode goes live he's performing in "Henry the VIII used to hate us" and tickets are available across the east of England.
