First time I've done a podcast and learned: my mic is trash and I get so nervous I keep talking over the (excellent) hosts.
At one point I fully sound like a Dalek and I didn't hear them try to tell me.
gra-phite.bsky.social Grá-phite Zine & Podcast @gra-phite.bsky.social · Oct 7
Episode 003 is live!

We chat with our first ever guest - @ianfay.bsky.social - an illustrator & character artist from Drogheda, Co.Louth about his work & life as an artist, as well as his experience of the Basic Income for the Arts pilot scheme.

Enjoy!
