A word of warning though - this was recorded in an art gallery, so the acoustics were terrible. The recording is actually better than the live sound on the day though. Big echoey white walls may be great for hanging art, but they aren't so good for reproducing those soft intimate Make It Then Tell Everybody tones that you've grown accustomed to.

Simone Lia speaks to Dan Berry during the aftershow party during Thought Bubble 2012. This was recorded in an acoustically challenged stairwell against the backdrop of riotous good times. I've had to fairly heavy-handedly edit this episode to remove all the security guards asking us to move on, bar staff walking past carrying binbags full of empty bottles and the previously mentioned riotous good times.

We spoke about humility, worms & cats, the truth and the Truth. I also mispronounced Simone's name, (Simmohn not Simown) which causes my face to burn bright with terrible shame. 

Oliver East talks to Dan Berry about how he came to making comics, his unique approach, why people don't cosplay as his characters (yet) and the contents of his airing cupboard.
