144. The Creative Boom Podcast Christmas Special 2024

'Twas the night before deadline, and all through the house, not a keyboard was silent, not even the mouse... Welcome to a very festive edition of The Creative Boom Podcast. As another year draws to a close, it's time to wrap up projects, reflect on your achievements, and embrace the magic of the holiday season. In this special episode, founding editor and podcast host Katy Cowan invites some favourite past guests to share their holiday plans, personal traditions, and playful answers to questions like, "What would you ban at Christmas if you could?" and "Who would make the ultimate festive lunch guest, dead or alive?" Whether you're winding down with cocoa or a holiday drink of choice, take a moment to savour the year, laugh with us, and find a little creative cheer. It's the perfect way to end the year on a high note. This episode features an incredible lineup of past guests, including Barrington Reeves, Lisa Smith, Graeme McGowan, Katie Cadwell, Miles Watts, Cat How, Trent Payne, Seema Sharma, Angela Roche, and Luigi Carnovale. They share their holiday traditions, creative reflections, and light-hearted takes on the season's quirks. It also marks the end of Season Eight of The Creative Boom Podcast. As we take a short break, we encourage you to explore our archives for inspiring conversations with former guests, including all the brilliant voices featured in this festive special. From all of us at Creative Boom, Merry Christmas! We hope you enjoy a well-deserved rest, and we look forward to seeing you in 2025 for more inspiring conversations.
