Ep316: Check out these Creatives

Join Vicky and Joe as they not so much announce with fanfare but blurt out the podcast name change—and then pay close attention because Vicky's super-excited about Jarvis Cocker's new memoir. Which leads on a little side-quest about the difference between memoir and biography, but it's worth it.
