Off Brand is a podcast based out of the Gold Coast, Australia, hosted by Dave Lydiard and Kiel Tillman.

Each episode we throw back a coffee or a couple of frosty bevs and speak with a guest about the things that happen off the artboard. The passion projects, the experiments, the strange jobs and the other weird pursuits creatives find themselves delving into.

We want to go beyond the everyday work of our guests and look into the less serious, more passionate side of creative life.
