Beatie Wolfe interviews two time Oscar winning (and 2023 nominee) production designer, art director, world builder, painter, master visualist Rick Carter about his journey from visualising his future as a child to working with the cinematic heavyweights Steven Spielberg, James Cameron, Robert Zemeckis, and J.J. Abrams (to name a few), creating and shaping worlds that have become embedded in our own. However, while few have enjoyed such an illustrious career in Hollywood, Rick lives in another dimension entirely, very much on his own terms, seeing his work as creative journeys in consciousness. Listen to this show that takes you from Oz to across the Universe via the power of minding the gap.

Orange Juice for the Ears with “musical weirdo and visionary” (Vice) Beatie Wolfe explores the power of music across space, science, art, health, film and technology by talking to leading luminaries from Nobel Laureates to punk publishers about their life’s work and musical DNA. Beatie Wolfe is an artist who has beamed her music into space, been appointed a UN role model for innovation and held an acclaimed solo exhibition at the V&A Museum.
