    On The Phone: Casey Bannerman
    Sep 26 2020
    Casey Bannerman (caseybannerman.com) is on the phone to chat with Clay about creativity during COVID. We're all feeling the press, the question is how are we finding ways to release it? Casey is one of Toronto's preeminent sports designers having worked around the NBA with several players and teams, but has always kept a soft spot for the hometown Raptors team. The two discuss left over feelings following the Raps second round playoff exit, the outpouring of love for Pascal Siakam, and all those COVID catch phrases like 'unprecedented times' that we're sick of hearing.
