Emma Gannon
and I met almost 10 years ago and as one of Ctrl Alt Delete’s biggest fans (Emma’s original award-winning podcast with 13 million+ downloads), it is a genuine honour to be at the receiving end of her questions in the latest episode of her shiny new Substack podcast, Creative Coffee.

Emma has always sourced such stimulating guests to talk to and I love her interviewing style. My parents have listened to this chat and both have commented on what a genuine and interested person Emma seems to be — I couldn’t agree with them more.

In this conversation we talk about my newsletter A Day Well Spent and ‘all the twists and turns’ of my creative career, from working in a software company to BBC presenter and writer.

It’s available for all to listen to:

— where she writes about creativity, books, Internet culture and wellbeing.

Emma is a wonderful person and friend. I so loved our conversation, I hope you enjoy it too.


A quick aside to say, UK-based readers can find a sustainability feature written by me in August’s issue of Delicious Magazine, all about how mind-blowing the potential of seaweed is. It’s accompanied by some tasty sounding seaweed recipes too!
