Trade Secrets with the multi-award-winning team – Performing Artist and Podcaster George the Poet & Producer Benbrick 

29th September, 6-7pm

At last year’s APA’s, George and Benbrick won Best Podcast, Best Arts Producer, Best Speech Presenter and Best Podcast Producer and at this year’s ARIAs they continued their award winning record.

As the awards season starts again, they will share their tips and inspirations, and talk about the skills and the lessons they have learned along the way.

Their successful producer/presenter partnership began when composer Benbrick wrote the original score for George’s podcast and Everyman Cinema called the live show “a mind-bending experiment with musical storytelling”.

As well as sharing their thoughts about what makes an award winning show, they will be answering your questions.
