In the final episode of this series, we meet Keisha Thompson, the Artistic Director and CEO of Contact Theatre, Manchester, and a judge on the Manchester Amplified Commission panel - to which this podcast wouldn't have been able to be created! Keisha talks about her journey from theatre-maker to CEO, investigates her own hoarding behaviour, and shares her three magical items with us.

Enjoy!

On this week's episode of Landfill of Memories, we talk to legendary DJ and TV producer Denise Harrop. This sensational woman grew up in the north of England and whose mother was a hoarder. For many we see hoarders from the perspective of the hoarder, this week we look at the after-effects of someone hoarding and the impact it plays on her life today. We relive three special articles and see which ones are junked into the shredder...
