Before the Applause

Before the Applause is a sharp, candid podcast produced and hosted by David that goes behind the scenes of the creative industries. Through honest conversations with the people who make culture happen, from artists and producers to designers, marketers, and makers, it explores what it really takes to build a career before the spotlight hits, and rapturous applause.

Beyond the podcast, Before the Applause is now evolving into a national programme of workshops, masterclasses, and live events, hosted in theatres and arts spaces across the UK, creating spaces for learning, connection, and real-world insight into creative working life.
