Meet… Steven Reid

This is lucky number 13 in the series of Q&As with the rather excellent people that make The Filter tick.

We wanted to let you know some stuff about them, random thoughts, likes and dislikes, that sort of thing.

As Rob Gordon in High Fidelity said, “What really matters is what you like, not what you are like. Books, records, films – these things matter.” So there you have it.

Answering questions this week is the latest addition to The Filter team, Software Developer Steven Reid
