Description

In this week's episode (part 1 of 2) I spoke to local videographer Sketch Benjamin about the challenges of building a freelance career, adapting work to the algorithm and why copyright law is so confusing. A really enjoyable chat that goes on lots of interesting tangents.

If you enjoyed the show please give us 5 stars and tell your music friends :)
