After a bit of a break I’m very happy to be back with the Podcast, and very excited that the fab Andy Gaines is kicking off this new series!

hangovers

mountain ultra-running
the story behind one of his Reportage Awards
shooting his very first wedding (which was his sister’s)
co-founding the brilliant NineDots and his experience running it
