About this listen

Hello, we're Amy and Sam, the hosts of Making Do! We're siblings and artists who have moved to the big city to follow our silly little dreams! Join us every fortnight as we sit down with one of our creative friends, have a pint and talk about what they're making. As two people who make lots of things and not much money, we want to find out WHY ARE WE LIKE THIS??! By asking our guests 'what makes you make what you make?' we hope to get to the bottom of this sticky situation once and for all. Happy listening! Amy and Sam xSam Thorpe and Amy Thorpe Art

    🎄 HO HO HO! GLAD TIDINGS OF FESTIVE JOY! 🎄


    It’s Christmasssss!!!! And boy oh boy, do we have a special gift for you! The guests for this festive ep are none other than your fave hosts, Amy and Sam! 🥳


    We had a jolly good time recording this one with our surprise guest host - expect frivolity and joy in abundance, and lashings of Christmas cheer. We’ve wrapped it in our best paper and popped it in your aural stocking, and it’s ready to be DEVOURED (make sure you save space for your dinner though) 🎅🏼


    Sending love and merriment! 💜

    💀🎃 TRICK OR TREAT?! 🎃💀


    Costume on, bucket at the ready, you’ve knocked on our door and guess what?! We’re giving you a Halloween special with the scarily fantastic Lost Alice!! 👻


    Alice is a rock artist and embraces all things spooky, and we couldn’t think of a better guest for our Halloween ep. As well as enlightening conversations about her work (as always), highlights include in-depth Avril Lavigne chat, attempting our best camp moo, and astounding amounts of the red stuff (wine, not blood)🩸


    Alice is a very busy gal and has always got gigs coming up! Find her on Instagram and TikTok @i_am_lostalice for gig tix and more 🖤

    HEAR YE HEAR YE!

    Not your typical episode of the Making Do podcast today as we're only here to give you a little update!


    After our upcoming halloween special on 30th October, we'll be closing the doors of the Making Do studios and hibernating for the winter.


    It's been a pleasure to chat to all our wonderful guests and listeners in Series 1 and we'll be popping a festive treat or two in your aural stocking over the festive period.


    Stay tuned for Series 2 in February 2026 and be sure to follow us @makingdo.podcast to see some exciting behind the scenes nonsense from the pair of us!


    Kind Regards,

    Sam and Amy xx

    (OOO until February 2026)
