I've been involved in Caysie's first episode of Growing up in Cumbriaas... by talking about my experience growing up as a part of theLGBTQ+ community in Cumbria. I'm not usually the first to put myselfin front of a camera but it's something I want to get morecomfortable with and I had so much fun filming it and it's amazing tosee the final product! Back in August, HOLLR recorded another episode of the podcast witha member of Ichi's Ghost as the guest. Again, I'm always wanting thechance to get more comfortable in front of a camera, or in this case, amicrophone. It was also great to meet Ichi's Ghost in person, I haddone some work with them virtually previously, so it was good tomeet them!In the future, I'm looking forward to meeting some more local talentand getting more stuck in with the 'front-of-camera' content. Whoknow's what we've got lined up- Hollrween is around the corner afterall! ChimBack in August, Chim brought Hollr to Solfest, giving opinions onsome of the acts from the bank holiday weekend. This month Chimreviewed Whitehaven’s, ‘Pride on the harborside’ event, and evenheaded down to Kendal to try ‘Pappy’s Taco bar’, saying the food‘won over’ their taste buds. Also during the past month Chim was interviewed alongside Joe forthe Hollr YouTube channels series, ‘#GROWINGUPCUMBRIAN.In August, Chim wrote all about festival season, sharing tips andguidance for how to prepare. You can read all of these on Hollrs site,which is linked on the previous page. Joseph2
