Host comedian Joanna Neary chats with film-maker Iain Neary about a true story yet to be told. In 2001, aged 24, Joanna’s brother Iain, encouraged by his then girlfriend, replied to an advert to join a ship’s crew for the adventure of a lifetime. ’30 Crew Members Wanted…’ In spite of everything that came next, Iain kept a diary during the voyage.

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.
