b'This Getting Better Acquainted Extra is a talk I gave as part of the Maker Sessions at the London Podcast Festival 2018 at King\\u2019s Place. \\n\\nThe title of the talk was: Passion Projects\\n\\nThe blurb was: For better or worse, Dave Pickering has been working on passion projects since he can remember. In 2008, he wrote a drama series for a friend, which was nominated for a Sony Radio Award in 2009. He\\u2019s made podcasts in a variety of genres at the same time as working full time jobs and part time jobs, and for the last 4 years, around the paid freelance work that the passion projects have just about generated for him. His passion projects have won podcast awards, been recommended by the Guardian, Time Out and the Financial Times and have been featured on Radio 4, Radio 5 Live, Cbeebies Radio and Resonance FM. In this workshop, Dave will explore why you should follow your passions, why you should definitely not follow your passions, and how to find the perseverance to keep following your passions when no one else seems to be interested in them.\\n\\nhttp://www.davepickeringstoryteller.co.uk\\n\\nThanks to Martin Zaltz Austwick and Zoe Jeyes for asking me to do it.\\n\\nMy Passions:\\n\\nGetting Better Acquainted: http://www.gettingbetteracquainted.co.uk\\n\\nThe Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk\\n\\nMansplaining Masculinity: https://unbound.com/books/mansplaining-masculinity/\\n\\nhttp://www.mansplainingmasculinity.co.uk/\\n\\nWhat About the Men?
