Idiot Resources

"It's not what you know that's important, it's what your passion gives you the potential to discover"

Geoff Dyer

At Told by an Idiot our influences and inspirations come from an eclectic range of sources. By sharing some of these on our resource page, we are looking to give an insight into our creative process, and reveal something of what made us the company we are today.

You can also listen to our podcast Regrets I've Had A Few which also give a great insight into our organisation, and some fantastic guests.
