Jaunty Tangents (Raspberries to Rockpools) with Anna Keirle

In this eclectic podcast about creativity and finding a way through, host Joanna Neary chats with fellow artist, comedian and writer Anna Keirle about a handful of their common interests. It was meant to be a book review podcast on ‘Don’t Look Now and Other Stories’ by Daphne Du Maurier but they both forgot. The resulting conversation is rather more diverse. From the joy and ease of starting to create, to the rubbishness of being a girl and on finding inspiration from the people around us and the land beneath our feet. A love story to Cornwall, rock pools and finding a way to look after ourselves.  Mastered by Ciaran Clarke Music by Hedluv Made with funding support from The Arts Council England. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
