Description

Sponge Stories is a podcast for face painters who want to hear what the industry is really like from the people living it.
Hosted by me, Siobhan from Theatrix Faces, each episode is a relaxed conversation with a working face painter. We talk about the good parts, the tricky parts, and everything in between.
From finding your own style to dealing with comparison, confidence, pricing, and those moments where you question what you are doing, it all comes up. Some episodes are focused, some wander a bit, but that is where the real stuff tends to come out.
If you have ever thought is it just me, this is for you.
