  • Up With The Lark and Patrick Williams

    Loved the calm, thoughtful episode with Patrick Williams, full of clear and grounded thoughts especially around his The House Rules book.

    Compelling enough to go back for a relisten to the conversation and to order and another copy of the book, this time the limited edition.

  • Posh girls chatting

    This podcast can be interesting and entertaining if you can get past the predominant theme of it being posh British girls chatting about their privileged existences, which have retrospectively become the inspiration for a current business venture, which was inevitably propelled into existence by various aspects of their privileged, well connected lives.

    Inspiring, engaging and totally joyful. For discovering and established creatives, for those who are desperate to launch an idea or even the ones at the beginning who are scared of the journey ahead. Listen, learn and enjoy, Calandre is just wonderful.
