In this episode, we talk to the irrepressible artist John Reynolds (http://www.starkwhite.co.nz/john-reynolds-bio/) about his work with Isthmus on the redevelopment of Freyberg Place in Auckland CBD. We interviewed John in the square, so there's a bit of background noise that we think illustrates just how successful a space it's proven to be! You can read more about the project here http://isthmus.co.nz/project/freyberg-place/ or better still wander down and experience it for yourself! There is a naughty word in this episode, so use your discretion Pic credit - Ludo Campbell-Reid
