Providing medical care for children with disabilities as well as food and clothing for families that live in extreme poverty. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022, Yuriy’s work surged in importance. Today he joins Jay Ruderman to talk about how the work of providing food and material support to those who remain in Ukraine has become harder as public interest in Ukraine has waned in the face of other international affairs. They also discuss the hard work of minimizing overhead costs at a nonprofit and Yuriy’s deep appreciation for the people still living in Ukraine.

In our latest On Stage interview Iain is joined by Jon Hodgson of Handiwork Games. Jon has had a long career in tableop RPGs. He started off as a freelance artist but has had creative director, art director, and Deputy CEO. He has worked on huge franchise titles like Lord of the Rings and Doctor Who but has left all that behind to establish his own company. Jon was kind enough to come over to the GB HQ to talk about his career, establishing Handiwork Games, the rise of AI art, and more besides in this wide ranging interview.

Tim Clare has had a varied career. Poet, writer, podcaster, writing course designer and teacher, tabletop critic and podcaster. His podcast "Death of 1000 cuts" is a fascinating insight into writers and writing. I first came across Tim through his writing boot camps and he is a guest I've been looking forward to getting on the show. Having previously worked in fiction with "The Honours" and "The Ice House", Tim has recently turned his attention to the world of non-fiction and subject of Anxiety. His most recent work is called 'Coward: Why we get Anxious and what we can do about it. To talk about that and his love of the tabletop hobby I invited Tim along to the GB HQ for a chat.
