OM Presents: Sticking Together w/ Searlo Feat. Callum Preston
Ben Searle loves stickers, Callum Preston loves stickers. They talk about Callum's archive of stickers collected over a lifetime and pick one for Ben's car. This week on the pod, not the pod! Due to Searlo copping a cold and Aaron going away we were unable to record a pod, BUT for a while Searlo has been sitting on this chat with Callum Preston about stickers! This was a test for a video series filmed in mid 2025 that didn't eventuate. We thought it was a good spot for it as a little something instead of no episode until we are back in the studio. We are back recording soon so jump on speak pipe and send us a message. Big thanks to Callum Preston for his time recording this a while ago. Check him out - https://callumpreston.com BRUTAL.
