Today, I'm having a gas with Danny Edwards, the co-editor of Shots Magazine.
Ordinarily at this time of year, Danny is busy organising the Shots awards; one of the most anticipated and talked about events in the creative industries. However this year, the entire thing has been run online due to COVID 19.
So I sat down with Danny to talk about how different his life, his business and his future will look as a result.

Today, I'm having a GAS with Steve Albini, the founder of Electrical Audio recording studios in Chicago.
Steve is most widely known for having engineered In Utero, by Nirvana; Surfer Rosa by Pixies; Rid of Me by PJ Harvey and The Weirdness by The Stooges, but has worked on literally thousands of albums besides these in his extensive career.
Steve is also notorious for his stance on analogue recording techniques, and is a vocal critic of digital media, citing its inevitable medium-term obsolescence as a fatal flaw which has never been properly addressed.

Today, I'm having a GAS with...Hugh Todd, a highly awarded creative director in London.
He's worked for MullenLowe, Leo Burnett, VCCP, J. Walter Thompson and BBH.
One of Hugh's more recent campaigns for MullenLowe was the 'We are Nurses' campaign for the NHS, a 360 campaign to recruit much-needed staff for the UK's healthcare provider.
The work proved incredibly successful, helping reverse the negative trend in UCAS applications, with figures up 6%. www.mullenlowegroup.com/news/we-are-nurses
Hugh's work can be found, unsurprisingly, at www.hughtodd.com
