  • 11. Chloe Green / Thoughtbubble

     38:27
    In a special pre Thoughtbubble episode (where we’ll be doing our first ever live show!) we meet Chloe Green, one of the three (that’s right there’s only three of them!) festival directors! Chloe’s been hard at work with her colleagues putting the UK’s largest comic book featival and convention together - a job that as you’ll hear never really ends. Not only that but Chloe’s a creator too with a couple of books to her name. We talk life’s strange path (from bank desks to festival floors) and the rather unique bingo based game that helped her and her friends pass the time while in lockdown (hint it’s very apocalyptic-y).Chloe on X - https://x.com/okaychloegreenChloe’s site https://www.okaychloegreen.com/Thoughtbubble https://www.thoughtbubblefestival.comThe Odds Pod at Thoughtbubble https://www.thoughtbubblefestival.com/programme/oddspod
