Shaun Keaveny’s Creative Cul-de-Sac is a podcast where Shaun asks creative people of all stripes to share with us those ideas they have buried in notebooks, on iPhones, scribbled on the backs of beer mats that they never got away. Guests for the first season include Vic Reeves, Nina Conti, Greg James and Tim Key. Each episode starts with Shaun going through his own creative detritus, including an immersive sound design that takes the listener into Shaun’s mind. After Shaun has torn through the discarded ideas of the guest he turns to the listener's ideas, reading out emails and playing messages left on the Cul-de-Sac voicemail. Shaun Keaveny’s Creative Cul-de-Sac is funded by Shaun’s Patreon. You can listen to Shaun's radio show Community Garden Radio through Patreon each week. Creative Cul-de Sac is produced by Burning Bright Productions. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
