This Q&A was recorded during London Podcast Festival in September, and features responses in person from Muna, Jon, and Méabh de Brun - B. Narr and our audio editor Sammy Holden drop in remotely to answer some questions as well.)
A huge thank-you to everyone who sent in their questions. For the purposes of time, there were some questions that we merged, and a few others that we just didn’t give entertaining or interesting enough answers to on the night - if we didn’t get to yours, please do feel free to drop us a message on Tumblr and we’ll do our best to pick it up!
