Happy New Year! It's 2024 so I wanted to wrap up 2023 with a short rambles episode. In this episode I talk about what has been going on for me in my break from recording the podcast, what it's like to take a break when you're at the peak of success in your creative endeavour, and my thoughts on creative identity.

   Esmé Louise James is a writer and researcher based in Melbourne, Australia. She is a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne in the School of Culture and Communication. 

   In 2020, Esmé was listed in the Top 30 Emerging Writers by SBS Australia.
