  • Detailer 6 - Stella Ioannou
    Sep 17 2024
    David catches up with Stella Ioannou, the powerhouse curator of Sculpture in the City, the celebration of all things public art in London's Square Mile. Stella chats about how she selects artists, the pressures of getting the works shown, the power of public art has on passers-by, plastic bags in trees, giant golden paper bags, gorillas, how people are more accustomed to artworks in the Instagram age, and the parallels between her past as a dancer, and artworks in the city.

  • Detailer 5 - Steve Edge
    Sep 6 2024
    Steve Edge is a 'prophet, madman, wanderer'. That's what it says on his business card, but he's also a brilliant story-teller, designer and branding guru, whose back story is quite extraordinary - from using an early diagnosis of dyslexia to his advantage to getting hired by George Lucas, working on designing the Millennium Falcon in Star Wars, with Jim Henson and Frank Oz on the Muppets, having pet chimps and snakes, and generally living the kind of life you could only really make up - or hear about from the horse's mouth on this podcast!

  • Detailer 4 - Louise Rodgers
    Aug 23 2024
    David catches up with PR-turned-writer and coach Louise Rodgers to talk about all things coaching, including how to frame the right questions, dealing with grief and bereavement in the workplace and out, mental health, succession, stigma, wellbeing, co-curating conversations - and 'squiggly' careers (but no 'baloney').

  • Detailer 2 - Pat Brown
    Jul 26 2024
    On this episode I chat with legendary 'convener', connector and city thinker Pat Brown about her musical past in Liverpool, mixing it with Julian Cope, Pete Burns, Echo and the Bunnymen and more, the place of culture as the lifeblood of cities, experimentation, getting an MBE, and the pioneering trip she orchestrated to New York that formed the basis of Business Improvement Districts on this side of the channel

  • Detailer 1 - William Murray
    Jul 15 2024
    In this first episode of Detailer, I talk to William Murray, co-founder of MurrayTwohig, about his firm's 'non-parasitic' approach to placemaking, why good things happen sometimes despite architects rather than because of them, about the prospect for real change in the UK under Labour, Thomas Heatherwick's Humanise campaign, ambition, historic churches, kissing-gates, and barns. Oh, and a total lack of squirrels as we walk through the Sussex countryside to one of his favourite places.

    Cheers!
