Welcome to episode two of The Waffle Show, where West Country creatives (and self-proclaimed wafflers) writer Louisa Adjoa Parker and musician Gary Pickard get together for a good old waffle over coffee. In this episode we share our VERY different experiences of adolescence and Gary describes his unusual ‘rebirth’ before going to the Brit School.

Each weekly episode we dive deep into real-talk, no-holds-barred conversation as we discuss the challenges of being freelance creatives, whilst sharing sad and funny stories from our lives. The Waffle Show is honest, raw, and unfiltered and you'll gain genuine insights about what a creative's life can be like.  We hope you enjoy - please follow or share with others if you do. Thank you for listening!
