Conpulsion Episode 2–Landscape art with Paul Bourne and Paul Canavan

Second episode from the panels that took place at Conpulsion. Landscape art with Paul Bourne and Paul Canavan.

Dr Reddy and I had a good natter. One you’ll find interesting, we hope!

For starters we talk about my interview with Matt Buchholtz from Crit Juice. We discuss what makes that podcast successful and the work that goes behind producing something as polished at that, even if a bunch of guys drinking around a game of Dungeons & Dragons doesn’t sound like it.
