The Penny podcast is for creatives, technologists and disrupters. It is where entrepreneurs share their stories about their business craft. Join us for some inspirational thinking and doing. From initial concept to devising sustainable business models, building community, and keeping the lights on, everything is up for discussion. We delve into the structures, systems and disciplines entrepreneurs have had to put in place to underpin the big idea. We ask how they navigate the world we live in today, where the workplace is more concept than bricks and mortar. What rituals do they use to keep in the flow and how does creative practice support this? History: Originally created for the Goldsmiths University Creative and Cultural Entrepreneurship Master’s degree students. It began during the pandemic as a platform for these entrepreneurs to document their creative process, discuss their business ideas and the impact of a crazy moment in history on the creative industries.

Welcome to a special edition of The Penny Podcast. The theme is the Business of Creativity. It's a huge topic so the focus is going to be on the field of writing and the precarity of the individuals working in the sector.
Dr. Christina Williams joins us as the expert to drill down on the topic into the detail of the life of a novelist and how they make a living. She shares her valuable insight about what drives writers to write and what it takes to be a writer.
She has recently been awarded a PhD from CAMEo - Research Institute for Cultural and Media Economies, based at the University of Leicester. She is a lecturer in Media and Communications at University of West England.
An essential word on the soundtrack...
Collaboration makes everything sound better! Eva was inspired by the patterns of speech she encountered during her podcast recordings and thought it would resonate to turn the title of the podcast into music. She created a short melody by using the words 'Welcome to the Penny Podcast' and turning them into notes, which sounded great but 'a bit tinny'.
Credit where credit is due - please give thanks to Nicolás Ayala Ramírez, a former colleague on the MACCE course, for polishing up the soundtrack and giving it a professional touch.
