(Except it isn’t my ‘latest’ - just another post I discovered on my test blog! https://open.substack.com/pub/johnphilpin/p/did-we-invent-it-or-did-we-discover
I was delighted to be joined on the People First podcast by Ramsey Avery who is the Production Designer for the Amazon series - Lord of the Rings - Rings of Power.

… in a situation like that there’s only one thing you can do and that’s walk into The shrink [BAD Business] wherever you are, just walk in say “[BAD business], You can get anything you want, at Alice’s restaurant. You “support election deniers, I’m out”.

OLD NEWS - but still …
