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 are drawn from an eclectic range of sources. By sharing some of these on our resource page, we offer insight into our creative process and reveal what has shaped us as a company.

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.
