Channel 4’s 4Talent website was created to inspire new talent in media and creative industries. As we have worked in a production, training and consultancy capacity for Channel 4 for several years, 4Talent approached us to make a podcast series which conveyed their objectives in an interesting, entertaining and inspiring way.

Recorded on location in London and Bristol, the series is called Head to Head and features established creative personalities in conversation with up-and-coming counterparts.

Episode one is a conversation between gossip website publisher Holy Moly and a young blogger touring the world as part of the Smirnoff 10. Episode two is a conversation between a director from Aardman Animations, Peter Peake, and award-winning aspiring animator Katy Davis. Episode three is a conversation between Nick Broomfield and a new documentary film-maker, Phil Stein.

The three-part pilot series was distributed through 4Talent, Channel4.com, Channel 4 Radio, Radio Magnetic, Windows Media Guide and iTunes.
