  • Great interviews

    Really lovely to get an interviewer that gently coaxes the guest to tell their story without seemingly much effort. Claire brings out the best in people, probably partly because she chooses really interesting guests! Started with the Eve Horne interview (Sept “21) which I can heartily recommend. Get inspired to be creative!
