This episode was originally a bonus chat exclusively for paid subscribers. But it went down so well that I’ve decided to drop the paywall on it for this release, to give more people a chance to listen, and to give a sneak behind the curtain at the type of exclusive content my paid subscribers enjoy. Speaking of paid subscriber perks, congrats to listener and reader Ben Ashfold, who won a pair of Danner boots for his comment on the recent Hugo Tagholm Open Thread. Which is nice.

“I don't consider myself a world traveller because I haven't travelled the world. I literally found the 10 places I love and just keep going back. Because I would rather go deep and immersive with a culture, and understand it and its issues, than just fill myself with dopamine every time I get a stamp of my passport to shoot images out the car window at 60 miles an hour, which I've done.”
Earlier this year, I interviewed Chris Burkard at a special event in London organised by my agency
and my pals at Db. I offered up a number of free tickets for paid subscribers - and originally I released the entire conversation as a bonus episode exclusively for paid subscribers only. This week, I’m dropping the paywall so everybody can have a listen.
If you listened to last year’s hugely popular conversation with Chris (also recorded in front of a live audience, that time in Stockholm), you’ll know what to expect. This was yet another intensely honest conversation about art, creativity and life itself with one of the most influential visual artists at work in the outdoor today.
Sure, we briefly covered some of the territory we discussed in Stockholm, but there are new insights, pearls of wisdom and sharp exchanges here that showcases Burkard’s trademark humour, vulnerability and insight.
Thanks Chris for being such a great sport, and to my
and Db family for taking care of such a brilliant event. And thanks to my paid subscribers for supporting the show! It’s so appreciated. If you enjoyed this, or have any feedback, tell me in the comments, or hit me up directly in the subscriber chat thread. Looking forward to hearing what everybody thinks.
