Conversations are intimate and free flowing as we learn about the journey these talented women have taken to become successful artists. Testimonials: \"It’s rare that I let everything hang out there about my past and what has formed me into an artist. I had a wonderful conversation with Chris Stafford recently and found myself doing just that—filling in the background. Chris was so easy to talk to and has a wonderful way of organically mining the truth of self within us that forms a sensitive picture of whomever she is conversing with—as we used to say, the gift of the gab. You should check out her podcast archive and listen to lots of incredible interviews that promote women in the arts.\" Anna Carll \"Chris is a natural host and I thoroughly enjoyed talking with her. She’s authentic, personable, and has a clear passion for supporting women. Her conversations with female artists about their artistic journeys are in depth and thoughtful. She’s getting into territory others often ignore and uncovering some gems in the process.” Juli…","last_synced_at":"2026-09-14T18:19:32.793046+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/aart-6291896"},"episode":{"title":"From East Enders to The Crown: The Life and Career of Alison Harvey","slug":"from-east-enders-to-the-crown-the-life-and-career-of-alison-harvey","published_at":"2026-09-01T09:30:02+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/aart-6291896/from-east-enders-to-the-crown-the-life-and-career-of-alison-harvey","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/aart-6291896","url":"https://www.spreaker.com/episode/from-east-enders-to-the-crown-the-life-and-career-of-alison-harvey--73578211","audio_url":"https://dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/api.spreaker.com/download/episode/73578211/s4e18_alison_harvey.mp3","summary":"Multi-award-winning British Production Designer and Set Decorator Alison Harvey joins Chris to share the story of her life and an extraordinary career spent creating some of the most memorable worlds in British film and television.
