With just over 24hrs to go until the deadline for the Kickstarter (which you can support here), we caught up with Martin Usborne from HMP to discuss the new series… Martin Usborne: HMP started after I made a small book about an old man that I once saw outside my window in Hoxton.

Each speaker is given 20 slides, with 20 seconds on each slide, which leads to some fast paced, informal short talks and plenty of chances […]
