In this episode, Charlie Brown speaks with Jo Payton from City's School of Communication and Creativity. And in a wide ranging conversation, she shares her thoughts on a subject that is close to her heart and that of the SCC - creativity!

What is creativity? Why is it important? How should it inform the modern craft of journalism? And for that matter, everything we do in life?

Many such questions - not to mention an old school mention of something called a typewriter - are covered. Listen and rediscover those creative juices!

This was the first episode that I produced while a student at City. Alongside Tim Utzig, we spoke with MA Creative Writing student Aderonke Adeola who told us all about her writing and how within it, she explores the universal issues of family and class through the lens of Nigerian culture and society.

And as an extra special bonus, Aderonke reads out an excerpt from her latest work for us to enjoy and discuss.
