Episodes
Singer-songwriter Sambee joins The Library Podcast to talk about vulnerability in music, emotional honesty, and the power of storytelling through sound. A conversation about masculinity, creativity and writing yourself into the narrative.
In this episode, Mel takes us from a childhood spent moving between countries and discovering that games and cartoons weren't magic, they were made by people. Through to a career shaping visual effects for some of the world's biggest brands. We talk about the fundamentals every aspiring VFX artist needs to master, what it's really like navigating tightly protected brand IP, and why creating access for young, underrepresented storytellers matters so much in an industry that can feel impossibly small and impossibly hard to break into.
In this episode of The Library Podcast, the host sits down with award winning filmmaker, equality consultant, TEDx speaker and 2012 Olympic torchbearer Louise Ndibwirende, a creative whose CV spans trusteeship at Watershed, festival programming, and public speaking, alongside two powerful documentaries.
The conversation traces her path from a shy LGBT+ society member at UWE Bristol to a paid diversity officer, the role she credits as the foundation of her entire career in advocacy. She opens up about growing up without feeling seen or heard, and how that experience now drives her mission to create space for others to feel seen, valued and represented, both through her activism and through mentoring young, emerging talent on her film sets.
