    Mar 18 2024
    Hello Believers.
    On today's episode, Chris speaks to civil servant, former advertising creative, educator, guitarist, Dad of 5 and former bandmate, Tom McCaskill-Baxter. Lazarus is right!
    Originally from Guildford, Tom studied American Studies before winning a D&AD young creatives competition at an early stage in his career. Tom then went on to teach English, play guitar in the London punk band Pipes (great band) and now lives and works in Manchester with his family including triplets!
    Tom talks about judging family and work responsibilities, wonderfully titled trade magazines, how advertising creatives work together, getting a chest-ripping guitar sound on stage, Metallica, Isis (the band), Mark Snow dance tracks and The X Files S1 Ep15 Lazarus.
