If you could spend a moment with someone extraordinary and understand where they have been? The streets they have walked? How they got here? - would you look at that place - or them - differently? 

Welcome to Counter Culture a new bi-monthly Appear Here podcast where founder and CEO, Ross Bailey, interviews extraordinary people defining the world around us, about the five places that have defined them.

Series 1 features some of the biggest names across design, fashion, art and the culinary world who need little to no introduction; from Sir Paul Smith and Thomas Heatherwick, to Asma Khan, Priya Aluwhalia and Yinka Ilori, each guest has shaped the world we have come to know.

Within each episode, Ross Bailey and his guest will take the listener on a journey. Guests reveal the small everyday places that have impacted their lives or created that sliding door moment that changed their fate forever, culminating in the ‘street’ that defined their life.
