Musicians include Ciarán Mac Gowan discussing his original songs, Eimear McGeown, String Ninjas and Becah.

Filmmakers and visual artists appear too: Gregg Houston on making music videos for Two Door Cinema Club and Noel Gallagher, photographer Inge Persyn, and artist Alistair MacKenzie. Other guests span an arborist, abandoned buildings explorer, and various community figures.
