Eliza - Policy Researcher

“I really shouldn’t be the one deciding what your job title is...”

Welcome back to another episode of What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith. Joining me today, staring wistfully through the Overton window, is Eliza, who has a fascinating job, but one that is very hard to summarise in brief. Luckily, we have plenty of time on WDYD to get into the weeds...

What’s involved in championing the creative industries in the UK from inside a think tank? As she explains, Eliza flies through The Scoop, ranks high on the Jobometer and we encounter a bizarre amount of bottled risotto.

Previous Episode

Edith - Painter

"I would not want to live in the Cotswolds... No offence to the Cotswolds community."

This time on WDYD I sit down at home with Edith to hear all about the ups, downs and everything in-between of being a painter.

It's a lovely hour, as we talk about what it means to sit with an object and to learn from it, the perils of portraiture, and how the door never really closes on taking up a creative pursuit. Oh, and the Cotswolds takes an absolute reputational battering. Take that, Cotswolds!

Edith's website, featuring a selection of her beautiful work, is here: https://www.edithdormandy.co.uk/

And if you're London-based and you've been inspired to break out the brushes, why not join Edith's course later this month at Hackney Fine Arts? You can take a look and book here: https://www.hackneyfinearts.org/masterclasses

Next Episode

Blaine - Financial Planner

"I'd fundamentally disagree about that not being a sexy car"

Welcome to the latest episode of What Do You Do? with Charlie MacKeith - it's our big 10!

My guest today grew up with one eye on Looney Tunes and the other on his Grandma shouting ‘sell sell sell!’ on the other side of the lounge. Blaine was destined to be a Financial Planner, and works exclusively for clients in the tech industry. Hear all about what it takes to help people make the most of their money, the fascinating story that led Blaine to this line of work, and there's even a bit of marriage counselling in there for good measure.
