Finding Nico

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hey babies It me again. This week I wanted to do one of my intimate solo mindful chats so I recorded lying back on the sofa straight into my phone (so Punk). I have been thinking about how you feel kind of physically different in different places and can feel the place itself, so I wang on about that a...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Cowabunga Dudes! (not just men, it doesn't mean that!) This weeks episode is a beauty, as I talk and chuckle with telly/film director-extraordinaire Jim Field Smith, whilst sipping on session ale by the river next to Kew bridge. I've know Jim for 20 years and have watched both proudly and bitterly as h...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Well hey there baby cats! I am SO excited for you all to hear this special episode of my new monthly Bonus Series 'The Busking Chronicles'- It is I think, a thing of wonder.   About three weeks ago I bumped into 'Beached Brass' on the seafront and could not believe how joyful their sound was. I as...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hey kids I love the chat I had this week the lovely Denise Devenish, a counsellor (slightly different from a therapist) who works predominantly with people from the music industry. Here we go deep as we discuss the pressure around tolerance for booze, drugs and hedonism around music culture and how har...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello everyone As promised in the last solo episode here is the first episode of one of my new spin-off series ideas. Tea and Empathy. This will be a monthly event where I sit in a cafe and 'someone' turns up and chats to be about whatever it is they have going on, or is on their mind. It's all about h...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hey everyone. I have done something a little different this week and recorded a super relaxed, reflective chat into my voicenotes app while lying on my bed. Which was then polished up by the new production hotshot I am about to tell you about. I have had a few things I want to say that are more in the...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello sods I had a lovely chat with comedian and all round high achiever Wendy Wason this week. We talked about raising kids, her new fledgling film festival and the power of compassion. I absolutely love talking to Wendy, even when it's in a room that is too echoey, to have been a great choice to reco...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Prepare to be troubled to your core, as longterm Stupid Hearts Club royal family member Alistair Griggs (fellow comedy writer) and I pull the milky skin back on our deeply unhealthy comedic power-struggle based relationship. Let it be known, that I sometimes worry I am going too far with Griggs, but th...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello persons of the Earth! It's Captain Seaside again, with another lovely slice of chat for you. Last week I spoke to multi-podcaster, editor of Podbible Magazine and sinister nightclub promoter Stu Whiffen. Stu is a top geezer that I hit it off with after going on two of his 74 Podcasts (Off the Bea...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hold tight kids, it's about to get very stupid indeed on Stupid Hearts Club as regular guest Miles Chapman and I honk our way through what felt like a pretty funny if horribly immature chat about things we find visually depressing, including crap supermarket food, animals being used for entertainment a...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello sods I present to you episode 62 of Stupid Hearts Club in which fast talking comedy rascal Richard Hardisty, and myself take a swift turn from talking over each other about comedy dynamics, and suddenly find ourselves wandering quite deeply into territory that some listeners may want to prepare t...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello lovelies- Yes hot on the heels of a more serious mental health chat in episode 61, we return to the wodge of laughter and bantere that make up the carbs of the Stupid Hearts Club multi-verse. Comedian and actor Rose Johnson joins me this week for what turned out to be a delightful catch up about...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hey, how can a solo episode be a group hug? Press play and find out as I try and tread the line between giving vague advice without claiming to be an authority on mental health, at the same time as trying to share some empathy that you can smother on yourself, infused with my own reasonably substantial...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello my darling children. This week I went to the port town of Southampton and recorded a podcast in a large echoey public space with my dear and very funny friend Verona Rose. We had a lovely chat covering what she's up to on social media, the ups and downs of showbiz and a brief clumsy foray into th...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello sods This is a big shiny special event because this weeks episode of Stupid Hearts Club in the final hour of a THREE hour lol-fest I had with Matthew Morgan just yesterday. We giggled a hell of a lot and achieved precisely nothing. Stay off the Geopolitics eh lads. If you would like to hear the f...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Yes I have pulled in another old Stupid Hearts Club regular. Our favourite uncontrollable wet fireworks tin of bilge, and ill thought through nonsense Miles Chapman. Marvel as we discuss people being awful at school, youth fashions of yesteryear and our ridiculous list of nicknames for each other. Apol...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- (I'm the first to do this joke right? I started the joke) After me dropping my rather solemn and hopefully sensible Holly and Phil Bonus Episode last week (hiding carefully on Patreon only) we've all had a lot to process. On 'that' subject I'm saying nothing more until there is something significant to...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Wow wow wow. What a lovely, lively and brilliant chat I had with comedy actor and writer Jessica Knappet. I absolutely love talking to Jess and we have a great giggle here, even though some of it is moaning about the telly industry. Luckily most of it just silly nonsense and general chatty-bobs. Let's...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- As promised here is a second podcast in two days to make up for a gap last week. I would like to think this works well as a companion piece to the solo check in I posted for Ep 54. It is more and more obvious to me that many of my listeners really appreciate emotional honest and mental health chat alon...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hey everyone. I have recorded two episodes as promised. This one is a bit of self care musing and hopefully a bit of positivity mixed with the usual nonsense, but the one I will drop on Saturday morning is an amazing chat with therapist and pod-friend Katerina Georgiou. I hope you get something warm fr...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hey there lovelies. It's Uncle Ma'am's Birthday Fortnight and she's never felt younger. I had a great chat with comedy firework display Richard Hardisty last night to make up for the pod recording I ballsed up last week. Here we discuss and somehow toss together many disparate things like ADHD, Oasis,...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Hello sods As tech issues have gotten in the way of my flow, I thought I would record an intimate little chat with myself for you to make you feel cherished and special. As it turned out I did end up reaching quite a heartfelt place alongside the usual silly sausage meat. Hope you enjoy Lots more guest...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- I had a lovely chat a few days ago with my good buddy, sometime collaborator and ex flat-mate Conor Morrissey.  Conor has been directing various drama projects in the UK and Ireland for the last few years and is one of the most passionate film buffs I know. That is to say that his arrogant, superi...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Well shit, we made it to FIFTY episodes guys. That's pretty cool. And who better to celebrate with (by moaning about how shit everything is) than Stupid Hearts Club favourite Alistair Griggs. I really enjoyed this chat which happened in real life when I tempted him to come and visit me in Hove. In fact...

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart ------------------- Pop the champagne! Open the patio doors and let the bells of joy ring out! I'm back, AND have fled the wretched, needy arms of Miles Chapman, my only friend for 'Miles' when I lived in solitude in the tiny village of dead-herbs, for good. Now, I live in the glittering whirlpool of Brighton and Hove, wi...
