We were delighted to welcome icon of British comedy, John Cleese, as our guest on the inaugural Hatchards Podcast.

He discussed his recent book Creativity: A Short and Cheerful Guide – a brisk, insightful challenge to the idea that creativity is an inherent trait that cannot be learned or finessed.

Drawing on personal experience from his long and illustrious career, and peppered with anecdotes about his own (and others) creative process, the book is an unpretentious, accessible, breezily companionable primer for anybody who has ever wondered about the mysterious nature of inspiration, or how ideas are formed, shaped and turned into art of any kind. His practical, unfussy advice should give solace to anyone who has ever struggled over a blank piece of paper or wondered just how their heroes do it.

Hosted by Ryan Edgington and Matt Hennessey.
