    Heyo my loves

    I present to thee a nice solo catch up I recorded in my car over 2 seperate sittings. I know I am a week off the pace again, sorry. But I am dropping two more eps before the month ends so my heart is still true. In this episode I am telling you about all the little plans that are growing in my pod-world. It's quite exciting I tell thee. There's also a 'Cliff-Riff', which is insinuating absolutely nothing and some gentle coastal sounds to play you out.

    By the way-

    I have decided to turn off Patreon billing for the month of April, just to give me the option of doing some catch up stress free during my birthday month. Yes that's right, uncle Ma'am becomes a half centurion on 23rd April.

    I will likely still post a few bits but I have got to get the next phase of SHC lined up.

    Hey You Smashing Persons...

    Something a little different today. As you all know, since I moved to Brighton a year ago, I have been busking, playing live music gigs, meeting and collaborating with all kinds of musicians, which has made me very happy. This uptick in musical energy has also given rise to my Patreon Only Bonus Podcast Series 'The Busking Chronicles', a chatty pod where I interview musicians who are hustling to make a a bit of a living from their love of playing music. We tend to chat for around 40 mins and then strum a few tunes out together. It's cute. It's kind of for my patreons only so if you if you want to check out a few eps, just join my patreon and have a squizz.

    Anyway now and then I like to drop a hint of my bonus stuff in the wild to tempt new Stupid Hearted folk in to our little community. So, today I am dropping an edited, slightly rough, audio edit of the first ever Stupid Hearts Club music night, which took place at the Bees Mouth bar in Hove in late November. It was a gorgeous evening with some amazing performances and lots of laughter.

    Have a listen and perhaps consider coming down to the next one on Thursday March 28th again at the Bees Mouth, Hove. A truly excellent little music bar full of mad shit, long haired, gentle staff and amusing toilet decor.

    Or if you live far away, why not consider how I could come to your area and put a similar night on (you would obvs have to help me find some acts near you, but it would be fun right? And allows me to get on the road which is going to becoming more of how I approach Stupid Hearts Club in 2024-

    Anyway, hope you enjoy the recording....

    SHC 4Eva

    PS - Am dropping a lovely ep of my other bonus series 'Tea and Empathy' soon so stay tuned

    -------------------

    Once in a while, a man comes along that is so full of wisdom, panache, and depth of character  that were he to pass you in the street, you would immediately hear a montage of echoey-whispers all going 'who is he?...who is he?...who is he?....who is he?......all overlapping each other and fading out...out...out. 

    My latest guest, is no such man.  

    'Mysterious Albert' is a fellow tired ageing comedy writer, whose name I say out loud literally immediately in the intro to this episode. However he has just texted me in a paranoid wheel-spin asking that I do not put his name in print so that he can speak freely and with reckless abandon, which he doesn't do anyway. This has rather amused me, so he shall now forever be...whisper it....Mysterious Alberts, Albert, Albert..........

    Shhhhhhhhh

    Enjoy the episode.....

    Hey all you lovers out there-

    SELF-LOVERS that is. See where I'm going with this? Yes, it's valentines day and Uncle Seaside is here in a big grimy coat carrying a large fish in a stripey plastic bag to tell you that he loves you all very much. This episode ends up being about Self Love which I believe is the key to being open to all the other sorts of love, so give yourself a lil pat on the bum today if nobody else is going to do that to you. Also don't do that to anyone else 'to cheer them up' unless you are already in a mutually bum'pattin type relationship with them otherwise it is NOT OKAY.

    I warble on about some music stuff in this ep too just cos there's a lot of it about at the moment. There are two events to look out for if it is possible for you to travel for a bit of live SHC music action- One for Northerners and one for Southerners,

    Firstly I will be playing (solo) a meaty set of indie covers before Oasis Supernova on Saturday 24th of Feb at Square Chapel Arts Centre in Halifax. Come along if you are nearby (or overkeen and far away)

    Secondly the third Stupid Hearts Club presents....Love, Lols and Heartache...will be on March 28th at The Bees Mouth in Hove, and will feature emerging local talent Crimson, who is ace, and one well established Indie artist that I shan't name until it is defo confirmed-

    Come along and talk loudly into my face about how it's weird meeting a podcast in human form. (it is)

    Enjoyyyyyy

    Dearest sweethearts.

    I have maked a really fun classic SHC episode for you this week chatting to much-more successful-than-me comedy actor and all round diamond Kiell Smyth-Bynoe.  This lad has been getting his adorable boat race around the tellybox for the last few years and he is great company as well as a seriously natty dresser. Here I get the inside track on his career so far, swap misty-eyed bants about the deep fun of improvising with funny people and talk about the edge and stress that comes with weird egoic success being followed by fallow periods and tumbleweed. All of this gold (AU) is spread on a comedy base we set early on and lean into a little too hard following one passing mention of the periodic table.

    Enjooooyyyyyy

    Darlings!

    I am so excited to release this episode of Stupid Hearts Club, which I made with easily the most intensely informed man I have ever gone deep into the woods with. George Fredenham also know as Flavour Fred (find him on Insta) is an absolute goldmine of knowledge on mushrooms, wild food, foraging and the history and mythology of a world of flavours that blows my mind every time we talk. He's also a straight up dude, and great company. This episode sees us go from being a bit pissed at lunch, to chilled at my gaff and then magically appearing in a cold but beautiful forest glade. You are going to love Fred, and you are going to be hearing more from us both.

    PS - A bonus full length version of the Forest Walk audio from the end of this ep, will be posted on Patreon as exclusive content early next week. Don't miss it, come in and sample some of my other members only delights.

    Much love and Mushrooms

    Hello beautiful babies of 192024. We are back in the swing of things now and so I thought I'd set the year rolling with a little solo pep talk and set up some of the stuff we have got coming down the pipe here at Stupid Hearts Club towers. I am truly excited to be starting again trying to grow and expand (the same thing) our little universe.

    Hear what I say in this episode, if you think you would like to get involved with SHC in some capacity that helps us spread the word, don't be shy. This is the year of action and change baby.

    Enjoyyyyyy

    At last, dreadful little lice-playground and morality vaccuum Alistair Griggs and I have created a follow up worthy of the Christmas Special we did back in 2018 for our first podcast 'Sick Minds' (Which is still out there in the podiverse)....

    In this fetid long awaited sequel little Alistair seems to have convinced himself that he can somehow topple his master (Me) with predictable but still amusing consequences- We then try and put the issue of Christmas to bed to give you all a fucking break from the most hellish social obligations of the year and go on to discuss many foul non-festive things-

    And then....well... ....Then we enter a conversation that is amongst the finest I have ever had with Alistair, when he produces a computer games magazine that contains a letter written by his 13 year old self...What follows is analysis of the Griggsian... character that neither of us planned, or has yet processed.

    Unlike fucking Christmas, you will not to miss this one.

    Love and dark-light to you all my pretty hens

    Master and little Alistair

    -------------------

    Before I start trying to justify the utter carnage that is this episode, I feel I owe you lovely people an apology for not delivering a pod since the 5th of December. As it goes I've got about 6 episodes recorded but I have been unwell and in a really spaced out zone the last couple of weeks, and my daily notes to myself about editing and posting ended up lost in a rotating list of shit that I haven't not even vaguely managed to do.

    However, by the time the year ends there will be a wonderful bonus Patreon episode of Tea and Empathy with a lady called Denise, who is a therapist, but on a more conversational friendly level instead of as a taster of therapy. I have also rescued and embellished the amazing Griggs conversation I had the other week but messed up. That means that you will be getting a Griggs special Christmas episode, that I promise you is fucking hilarious.

    Now back to this absolute fucking shambles. Every single time I have attempted to do a remote podcast with Miles Chapman, he has forgotten that he needs to be wearing headphone (and ideally is speaking into a proper mic), so that my voice does not come echoing out of the speakers at his end. And everytime I point it out and get frustrated he gets annoyed with me (as if it's my fault) to the point where it sounds like he might cry.

    Luckily nothing in this world, makes me happier than hearing Miles getting angry at something that is his own doing, and actually in some ways it is the only feeling I am still able to access in this cess-pool of a world. So please revel in the joy of the first few minutes of this shamefullly, hate-filled dirge. For the record I actually had to send the sound files to be cleaned up by AI, and what is left is still a bit annoying. Look out for the sudden laptop scratchy noises towards the end for example. I honestly give up.

    Still, enjoy the madness.

    Captain Seaside,

    Trigger warning: We talk about gruesome ways we would kill each other at the end and it is absolutely fine if you decide to bail out at that point.

    OG Stupid Hearts Club listeners are in for a deeply awkward treat this week (while new listeners will be forgiven for wondering what the hell is going on) as I finally breach the walls of Herr Grigg's mountain retreat and take dinner with our fetid friend and is absolute firecracker of a long-term partner 'Helen' (actually called Lauren). Alistair I was amused to find out absolutely loathes having guests, which left me no choice but to make him as uncomfortable as possible. Mission accomplished.

    I want it to be known that after our meal (no dessert or starter but thank you Helen) Alistair dutifully cleared our plates while Helen and I threw our heads back and chuckled cruelly. It's all he knows bless him.

    Please enjoy the episode, I know I did.

    Hello sods

    Please enjoy this really funny funster episode of Stupid Hearts Club with hilarious voiceoverer and comedy actor Charlotte Morgan. We met in a moody little cafe in Hastings and sat upstairs in the bit where people who don't like people go and sit to hiss at each other during their horrible day out that both of them ruin by sniping at each other and then drinking too much.

    Charlotte and I tried to keep that spirit up by talking to each other with a lack of respect bordering on toxic, and the result, I'm sure you will agree, is lots of fun.

    This episode was slightly hampered by an SD card getting full and me being too much of a grandpa to know how to cope with it. I think we lost about 12 mins of golden bants, but at least you have this!

    In the last few days I have also recorded with Griggs (also includes some SD card bollocks, but still got some good stuff) Miles Chapman, who's audio was as shit as it always is, and a lovely lady called Jillian, who joined me for an episode of Tea and Empathy.

    Lot's of stuff lined up for you all so keep on listening and please don't be shy to comment or inbox/insta about the SHC world , I love hearing from you all

    Awwwwoooooogaaaa

    Enjoy this free snippet of Nico's new Patreon exclusive podcast, The Busking Chronicles, which he recorded with James Walsh of Starsailor fame.

    I have made a really cool episode of The Busking Chronicles here for you guys. James and I met when we both played a fancy pants Soho clubs acoustic night after the last winter lockdown, with James headlining and blowing everyone away with his voice, while I held his beer and then caught Covid. It was a cool night though and we stayed in touch.

    I was hoping recently that he would be up for doing the Busky Chrons when he actually messaged me saying we should get together and chat and try and think of a project, which we did. Over a slightly wrongly administered lunch order in Londons 'Troubador' club, which is full of Bob Dylan vibes and stories from when he played there many times.

    This chat took place in a pals house in West London and features me marvelling at some of the shoulders James has rubbed with (?), his positive attitude to the selfie and sound advice on how to deal with knob'eads. The one thing we will never run out of.

    You've seen her in Afterlife, you remember her from Star Stories, and you should watch her in Black Mountain Poets. Now you can hear Laura Patch being adorable, funny and open in her own kitchen sitting opposite a man with a ridiculous hangover. I love talking to Patchy so much, and I fully credit her with getting me through Sunday when i dropped in on her on my way up Nawf, to see me mam, having been a very silly boy indeed the night before.

    This gorgeous conversation roams through the fields of therapy, relationships, tricky family stuff and Laura's apparently highly dangerous lack of driving ability. I later slept in a single bed in a travel tavern. The travelling pod'mun dream is alive.

    Enjoyais'vous

    Since I moved to sunny (actually quite windy and rainy) Hove, I have been rubbing my face around town trying to get my finger onto the local pulse in all sorts of ways (stop it). One shining piece of evidence that that is working a treat is this fine chat with marketing and hospitality/food blogger and man about town Mark McCulloch from @surpersonic_inc who a friend hooked me up with (I said stop it) and who I immediately got on with, in a pub. Drinking beer.

    Sure, we may have hit of it as budding new lager pals, but here we are just being two healthy big lads talking each other up in a big tough world full of grown up decisions and self-activated opportunities, or something. Basically Mark is a smooth operator and I like his style and I am trying to learn from his energy for doing stuff.

    Can we go for some more free meat now please Mark?

    Enjoy the episode...

    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 bit.

    At the moment I think we all just need a bit of gentle reminding that we are lucky to be alive and that we should try and find ways to enjoy being here.

    Hope you enjoy and get something out of the episode

    Peace and love

    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 his career has steadily climbed all the way up to the point where any writer could be forgiven for getting what we in the trade might call 'major boxset envy'.

    Here we discuss surviving in the telly biz, some of Jim's finest work from shooting a sketch up an alley-way with me to directing actual airplanes in the sky whilst directing Apple TV mega-drama 'Hijack'. There is also a LOT of fun making analogies out of bad grammar and deep sea fish.

    So, fasten your seatbelts and press that button that reclines your seat and ruins the person behind you's day....

    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 asked band leader Gabriel Garrick if he would be up for a podcast chat and maybe joining me for a song in a rehearsal room.

    A few days later I found myself in the room I had booked for 2 of us with a 6 piece Jazz band! One or two of whom were BRAND new to the line-up. Oh and a big dog called Jovis who attends all jams and gigs at all time. What happened next was nothing short of magical.

    So please enjoy-

    Many more Busking Chronicle adventures to come, with some really cool guests already lined up...

    Nico

    Bwt- Sorry it's a day late, my producer was being a hero and trying to sort out the mixed bag of dodgy audio files I provided him with, but we got there in the end.

    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 hard musicians can find it to reach out for help. I really enjoyed hearing about Denise's approach to helping people with their mental health, and I hope that our more general chat around all the different types of counselling and therapy is useful to someone out there.

    You can find Denise on Instagram where she is @dd.counselling

    You can find the Campaign Against Living Miserably here:

    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 having non-judgmental, empathetic conversations with people we might not otherwise engage with deeply, if at all.

    In this opening episode I asked a guy called Ricky who sometimes is in a co-working space I use if he was up for telling me about what he gets up to while I am titting about doing podcast bits and hustling for coin.

    I genuinely ended up learning and thinking about a few things I didn't know and hadn't thought about before, and it was nice to get a lil sharey time with someone I usually just nod at over my laptop.

    This is very much an attempt to remind myself and others that when we talk to each other in real life, away from the bearpit of social media and the internet, that it leaves room for a bit more humanity, and empathy, especially if there's a nice cup of tea involved.

    Hopefully together we can grow our little community into a fun and wholesome space that is exciting and creative and above all, positive.

    I want everyone to have a chance to listen to this first episode to see if it's something that's your bag, but going forward Tea & Empathy episodes are going to be just for my lovely folks on Patreon. If you enjoy it and/or fancy supporting what we're doing with the show, maybe come check it out!

    Big love ya'll

  • 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 deep and meaningful zone and I just had it in my mind that saying it away from my desk mic in a really intimate way might give it a different feel. That turned out to be true in a good way (the part of my brain I accessed whilst talking) and also bad (i made some swallowing sounds like a dog drinking from a bowl which had to be edited out).

    In this fresh-duvet-scented episode I tell you all about the forthcoming plans to solidify and expand the Stupid Hearts Club multiverse of content, talk about the odd feelings I get during the changing of the seasons, and some recent escapades noticing people struggling out there.

    I hope listening to this one helps you feel like we have got each other a little bit cos that is my intention. Kind of like a non invasive hug, that you totally consented to.

    Love and (AF) lager
