I had the privilege to interview the very person that, unbeknown to him, started my journey in teletext art and with it, the friendships I built with many other like minded folk.
 
Paul's one and only online teletext project had far reaching influences on many of us and I hope you enjoy listening to this episode as much as I have had in making them all so far.
