Listen "Surprise Cast #201 Chris Bigg"
Episode Synopsis
Dear Chris,
It was an exhilarating experience to have you on Surprise Cast! I loved learning about your upbringing in Brighton, family life, deep musical influences, and how dyslexia affected your life in both positive and negative ways.
We discussed your formative years at art college and your extraordinary friendship with Vaughan Oliver and 4AD, along with behind-the-scenes stories from key album cover projects (Wolfgang Press, Throwing Music, Modern English, Kim Deal, Unrest, and Lush). I enjoyed hearing about your collaborations and conceptual ideas for album covers.
From one former teacher to another, it was a pleasure learning why you fell in love with teaching and how you've built a strong classroom community where students feel comfortable being themselves.
The podcast audience can look forward to a warm, honest conversation about your creative process, memorable stories, and key insights for music fans, graphic artists, and educators. You always have a way of making the ordinary extraordinary!.
