When a crisis hits, some individuals take it upon themselves to help others. A fortnight ago, Daniel James published "Uncancelled: How Artists Can Thrive in the Coronavirus Economy" a free e-book for people to understand how they can navigate these uncertain times as an artist and creator. It's with great pleasure that I can welcome Daniel to the show to explore the contents and practises of the e-book, while also covering some interests nuggets on moving from the UK to Columbia and using DM's to connect with industry folk.
