Tim Simpson is the Creative Director at Plunge Creations, who are best known for making those crazy costumes on 'The Masked Singer' (UK).
Settle in for a bit of workshop ASMR as Tim takes Stephen on a tour of Plunge to meet some of the crew and see how the costumes are brought to life.
Tim then joins us to share some of the secrets of the show, and tells us about the other weird and wonderful things that he and his team are asked to make.
Head over to our socials to see a video tour of the workshop as well!

The podcast heads to Scotland this week to meet Glaswegian scenic painter and prop maker, Gary Loughran.
In this episode, Gary tells us why he loves making stuff look like other stuff for the big screen, using paint to turn rubber into wood, foam into marble, and polystyrene into stone.
Hear how Gary has brought props and sets to life on 'Dungeons & Dragons: Honour Among Thieves', 'Outlander,' and the cancelled 'Batgirl' movie.
Meanwhile, Laura gives an update on her first 'Laura Goes Digging' expedition, and debuts the (annoyingly catchy) jingle she's made for it.
