That's right i completed couch to five K the nine week course which take you from not running to running 30 minutes and during it I may have said some worrying things so I wanted to take this moment to talk about, why i did it, what it was like and apologise to Sarah Millican as she really helped. Or at least her prerecorded messages did. The instagram post i spoke of https://www.instagram.com/p/B...

We made it to episode 100! It's been a long while since may in 2017 when I published by first episode. And i've had some cracking guests so this week I discuss the concept of why I challenge myself how i cope with lulls in my creativity and offer up a way of living which might add some dynamic to your own world. Thank you for watching this far and I hope you'll keep listening. For more of Graham v...

This week i bring back our most popular guest Ron Booth who at the time of recording has the most viewed video of all my podcasts so I thought it only right to bring him back for this milestone and see what he has been up to. Always an open book Ron and I discuss audience types and the importance of community acceptance within live events and the Lincoln scene in general whilst comparing approache...

This week i have Charlotte back for the third time.

In the first podcast i've done tackling Brexit in anyway directly i discuss pessimism the UK culture and overall where we are at with the world of politics. Not something i discuss often on the show it's been something i've avoided touching but with the impending deadline for no deal occuring i try to shed a little light on how my generation may be feeling and why there has not been in reality mor...

This week i have good friend James Charles Smith the current commissioner of Gotham city. Having taken a Myers Briggs test on a whim from a friend we thought we'd see how James did. Whilst we dont think these kinds of test should be something to dictate your life we do think they offer a good chance for some inward looking and a measure of social science. If you would like to do one or just are cu...

They are fascinating and a weirdly secretive part of society. This week i sit down to talk mums, aunts and all manner of the generation which raised us in the last 30 years. They strike fear into the hearts of many a millenial but are also a symbol of rebellion against the patriachy before them. But how did they get there? What makes them tick and why do they always want to tidy me up? For more of...

This week i sit down with a poorly places microphone and talk with musician Zach Jones about creating and the fear of moving between genres which stops some people. Having both been creating for a number of years we've explored our fair share of style and apporaches and try to deconstruct why that is. Zach and I also recently collaborated on a music video for his single "Shadow" which you can find...

Keep working because if i stop i'll destroy myself. It's not the healthiest habit but it does keep me out of the emergency room and actually supports my health. Unlike what I do when im bored. This week i discuss boredom again and give a view into why i do so much and how i see the world when everything stops. Living with myself is a challenge and has taken time to not feel bad when i stop so perh...

We talk fame, cor...

If you're going to try and get me out the house you are going to have to make me comfortable. Anxiety of social situations is a hard one ot break and one i have always shyed away from.

You're not competing with other people or other interests your...

Certain times call for anger and havoc an overall large scale movement but to take down something so huge such as a capitalist or consumer machine you have to be a little more subtle. This wek i sit down to talk about why i dont feel bad about my past daliences with money and the machine but also how you can have more of an impact with your purchases and lifestyles in a way which will effect socia...

Maybe you forgot to keep a check in with an old friend or perhaps you're wanting to let go of a problem but are worried it will come back and find you. Just remember if you cut it off it will die. It's not your respons...
