An Art & Fandom Podcast

A UK podcast celebrating creators & cosplayers in fandom.

Join PB & Jay as they explore UK conventions, creators, and fandom culture.

New episodes every fortnight. Featured guests, chats, and real con stories.

#Why Listen to The Convention Creatives?

We talk openly about the realities of creative work in fandom spaces, from tabling and touring conventions to building sustainable creative careers.

Each episode features honest conversations with artists, organisers, cosplayers, and industry voices from across the UK convention scene.

Meet the Hosts

The Convention Creatives is hosted by PB and Jay, two creators active in the UK convention scene.

PB is a full-time illustrator with years of experience exhibiting at conventions across the UK, while Jay brings the perspective of an engaged convention-goer with a deep interest in the creative industry and fandom culture.

Together, they create a space for honest conversations with artists, traders, cosplayers, organisers, and creatives about the realities of conventions, creative work, and building sustainable paths in fandom spaces.
