Adam & Lauren O'Clock! |
we made a podcast about ourselves and animation and illustration and creativity and stuff :) check us out at: www.adamoliver.com // www.laurenmorse.co.uk |
Just thought we’d let all you peeps know that Adam & Lauren O’Clock! is having a temporary hiatus. Since Christmas, we’ve been busybusybusy (check our websites to catch up!), so we’ve not had a lot of time to podcast, but we hope to be back soon with something new for you!
We’ll catch you on the flip-flop later!
Podcast #6 - CHRISTMAS O’Clock!
It’s that time of year, so it’s only right we made a Christmassy podcast! We discuss our Christmas shopping, Adam tries to restrain his inner Scrooge, and Lauren does a grand job of not exploding in happiness for the fact it’s nearly Christmas. We even go so far as to consider our New Year’s resolutions, and other stuff we want to do. In short, we have a merry old time.
We’d like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas, and we’ll see you in the New Year! What awaits us in 2012?

Podcast #4: Diversification O’Clock!
This time, Lauren poses the question of whether it’s a good idea for one to branch out into other areas, and discusses the importance of loving what you do. We also learn that Adam loves golf, Lauren has trouble with her memory, and reminisce about the legend that is DJ Jazzy Jeff.

- Quote from Po Bronson:
“…people don’t succeed by migrating to a ‘hot’ industry or by adopting a particular career-guiding mantra. They thrive by focusing on the question of who they really are and connecting to work they truly love (and, in so doing, unleashing a productive and creative power they never imagined).”
Podcast #3: Losing Steam O’Clock!
…in which Lauren deals with losing steam, Adam rants about Flash, and we both geek out about space, and contemplate how we’d spend £5000 (as Christmas is coming).

Podcast #1: Introduction O’Clock!
This is a podcast by Lauren and Adam. We would like to request permission to stroke your eardrums. Thank you please. (In case there was any doubt as to what we actually said…)
And so it begins! Our first podcast in which we are introduced, Lauren talks a lot about creativity, and Adam talks about friends and scooters and PR men, and asks a lot of questions. It’s pretty rough and ready, but we were so excited, we had to share it with you!
