Welcome to episode one of The Waffle Show, where West Country creatives (and self-proclaimed wafflers) writer Louisa Adjoa Parker and musician Gary Pickard get together for a good old waffle over coffee. In this episode you'll get to know us a little as we share childhood experiences and life-changing moments. Each weekly episode we dive deep into real-talk, no-holds-barred conversation as we discuss the challenges of being freelance creatives, whilst sharing sad and funny stories from our lives. The Waffle Show is honest, raw, and unfiltered and you'll gain genuine insights about what a creative's life can be like. We hope you enjoy - please rate, review, follow us or share with others if you do.
