Euan Ross has spent years building a remarkable collection of books centered on artists, photographers, and the publishers who bring their visions to print. In Biblioscapes In Discussion, that collection becomes a living archive and the starting point for a series of thoughtful conversations. Each episode moves beyond a simple interview, unfolding as a deep dive into the creative process itself. Ross sits down with the very people whose work fills his shelves, exploring not just the final product but the ideas, decisions, and sometimes happy accidents that shape a published object. Listeners are brought directly into discussions about design choices, the tactile nature of paper and binding, the narrative of a photographic series, and the collaborative journey from concept to physical book. This podcast offers a unique backstage pass to the world of art and visual publishing, framed by the curiosity of a dedicated collector. The conversations are meandering and detailed, perfect for anyone who appreciates the substance behind a book's cover. You'll hear from makers about the challenges and triumphs of their craft, gaining a new perspective on the artistic landscape one volume, and one dialogue, at a time. It’s a sustained look at the intersection of art, design, and tangible media, all through the lens of a personal and passionate collection.
