INTRODUCTION Welcome Doodle Peeps to the third "The Doodle Podcast" with my awesome new friend Gemma Unsworth. Gemma and I met in 2017 when I was searching for a creative life in Wigan while dealing with tough mental health issues. She’s funny, sweet and so blumming genuine. You’ll see in the video. And she tells a funny story. She is really open about her life challenges, being a new mum and starting a new career back at Umbrella Arts. She also talks about being a murderer. She knows far too much. She currently doesn’t have an online portfolio because being mum has become a new priority. But she is working on it.

Welcome Doodle Peeps to the second "The Doodle Podcast" with my great mate, Andy Longden. Andy and I have been friends for six years after meeting at university (school). We talked about creating a podcast together, but we weren't in the right headspace at the same time. So I have started the ball rolling. Here is how we banter. I hope you really enjoy it. We enjoyed bantering for your pleasure. WARNING: There is swearing in this podcast video, so it's not suitable for anyone under the age of 18. You can find his work at: https://www.instagram.com/andylongden/ and https://www.facebook.com/AndyLongdenStudio I would love you to support him, he's an incredible artist, tattooist and deserving human man. NOTE: I talked A LOT in this podcast. And I do sound clueless and I'll try to say "It's important" less. I apologise. I was just in the zone with Andy and we giggled. I do want to say that these podcasts aren't interviews, they are conversations I would usually have with my creative friends . Andy was very patient. He's a good friend. But I will do my best to ask more questions and find out things you will be interested in. I also will try my hardest to breath less. I would love you to comment below on how I can improve my content.
