### Hi there, I'm Finbarre. 👋

I'm an arts and culture journalist, interviewer, podcast producer and creative technologist based in Beeston, Nottinghamshire.

I am the founder and host of **Tarot Interviews**, producer of **Tarot DMs**, and founder and curator of the **British Tarot Archive**. My work explores tarot as a prompt system for interviews, creative practice, cultural research and public conversation.
