Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.

Please enjoy this hourish of nonsense from me and Matthew following my star 2 hour appearance on the Matt Morgan Podcast a couple of weeks back. By god we laughed a LOT recording this and I hope you do too. The Keith and Orville stuff is I think us doing what we can only do together.

The Matt Morgan Podcast is on Patreon in the unlikely event you don't already know that. Check it out if you haven't already. I have lots of bonus content on my Patreon too.

Including my journey so far via DAILY video updates of me trying to keep pace with metal-core band KNIFEBRIDE on their UK tour, on which me and Linda the Camper Van are the official transport partner! In other words I'm kind of a ROADIE this week.

It has been a hell of a ride for old Music Dad so come and see how I am coping. There is also an exclusive interview with Knifebride going up V soon.

Hello you lovely sods

This is a cracking, chatty episode with tv comedy actress and personal buddy Kerry Howard. You may know her from Him and Her, Witless, Young Hyacinth and many more shows on the lol-circuit. Kerry is currently earning her drama stripes in Waterloo Road, and is still very much a reliable, funny-boned comedy hire gun.

Over on Insta, her daily efforts to stay mentally and physically in peak condition are a huge part of her mission at the moment and here she does a pretty good job of inspiring me into 'moving more' even though I am sat in bed with a cold looking like a melted, Jabba the Hut candle as I type this.

I bloody love Kerry, I always have a great chat with her and she made me an excellent brew with the correctly meagre amount of milk in it.

Enjoyes vous

Happy June everybody.

I am BACK after a wee sabbatical after celebrating my 50th and boy do I have a good solid month of top poddingtons lined up for you. My various pod projects are starting to move apace and it's all getting rather exciting.

Today I am sharing the first episode of what will now be called The Music Dad Podcast. It's basically the same as 'The Busking Chronicles' in that I talk to a musician and learn a bit about their world, but from today I am leaning more into the idea that I am playing, watching and making more music than ever at the ripe old age of 50. Hence calling myself the Music Dad, as my 'angle'.

I never really felt the busking chronicles was the right title for the several musicky episodes that came before this one (please go and check them out if you haven't already. they are mainly on Patreon). Then along came this episodes guest Delphine, and along with her a whole new surge of energy and a shared commitment to a seriously exciting new joint creative project.

I am so excited to introduce Delphine to you. She is a great kid with bags of talent musically, podilly and just as a human being -and this conversation was kind of the genesis of us joining forces to get not one, but two music podcasts started and out there, both with a different but equally valid mission of encouraging musicians to flourish everywhere.

Coming soon, a post-50th reflective solo and a very lovely, fun comedy chat with comedy man of mystique, Mark Silcox from Man like Mobeen.

Stay tuned and spread the word babies. Things are on the up

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Podcast for everyone with a Stupid Heart!

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

Hello lovelies

Back in November my excellent comedy actor pal Laura Patch (from Netflix hit Afterlife) let me into her rather impressive kitchen for a chat about life, writing and processing trauma. That's episode 73 if you want to go back and find it. Now 6 months later, the play she was merely tinkering with back then is up on it's feet as Laura performs it and hones it into it's perfect shape. Last Friday I had a brilliiant catch up with her in Cote in Soho (OooooOOOOoooooh, alright Lawrence LLywellyn Bowen).

We had a further chat about writing about personal experience, and processing trauma which has become a very hot issue the last few weeks since Baby Reindeer arrived and seemingly caught the attention of the whole world, and not always for the better as the hype and opinion furnace began to rage.

After our chat I went and watched Glorious in Clapham on Tuesday where I got to see Laura in action. I also got to meet some of Lauras buddies which was very interesting indeed and only confirms to me how ace and loved she is, the absolute sod.

This ep concludes with me referring back to watching the play, and reflecting on how great it is watching a project go through the stages of finding it's truest self.

Stirring stuff

Hope you enjoy

Nico

Hey babez,

Just two days ago Alistair and I met in a bar in Victoria and had as troubling a conversation as we have ever had. I recorded badly on a Zoom recorder but luckily had my phone mic running.

Tech knobeadry aside, our vile conversation made me feel a lot better about the scorn I regularly spray in Griggs direction because once again he has proved that he has something remarkable and undefined where his should should be.

And in this episode I think we possibly find out the genesis of his bland penchant for unfeelingness. Enjoy it, if that is the right word. Which it isn't.

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

Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.

A few weeks ago Matt Morgan and I recorded a 'double-bubble' podcast for his show is exclusively on Patreon. The first two hours of our chat (we do like to go on) are on his feed and the third hour, which was very giggly I put on my Patreon. It was a pretty funny chat though so I have decided to share it out here in the wild where the podcasts roam FREE.

if you like the episode then you might be tempted to come and join my Patreon where these is more exclusive stuff like this, and or or or you might also want to go and check out Matt's show which has a very loyal audience and is always a hoot, by which I mean both a laugh, and the noise Owl's make.

FYI I am currently booking guests for a new and improved pro-edition of Stupid Hearts Club which will drop some time in Autumn, so until there will only be a few Bonus bits dropping here for a while but if you want to follow my adventures in my new camper van 'Linda' you can do so on my Patreon where i will also be dropping some exclusive episodes of The Music Dad Podcast, which is the musical interview and strumming mission i am on, and which will probably soon also have it's own feed once it has grown enough feathers.

Enjoy and remember....

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...

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 there my Stupid Hearted angels.

I parked Linda the Camper Van next to a big BIN on the seafront everyone, but she is still the apple of my eye as our love affair begins to pick up pace. This week I am heading West to Wales to do a wee acting role in an indie film and I am taking Linda with me. She will be playing the role of business hotel on wheels. There will also be stops in Swindon and Bath before I head back up to London on Tuesday for another lil acting job.

Anyway in this episode I've ended up chirping on about bigger potential road-trips into Europe including my old family home from home, Marbella in Southern Spain. You can hear all about how cool my mum was in the 60's and how my real dad (a mystery 70's Zorro figure who I never saw) did George Bests's hair, which is what brought Marbella into my mums life.....

FYI....I will be dropping some Linda-centric road-trip video content exclusively on Patreon as I explore the world and it's roads and stopovers, so please consider joining up and crucially becoming a paid member to help me keep her in Petrol, coolbox ice and that powder that turns poo and wee into 'a manageable gel'. Every subscription really helps and means a lot to me.

Enjooyyyyy

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

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

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

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 record a podcast. Enjoy!

PS Am going to follow this episode up with a solo about compassion as I have encountered various people that need help lately. Look after yourselves and each other everyone.

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 then he comes out with some of the crazy shit you are about to hear and I then realise that keeping this man in his place is absolutely essential to the survival of the human race.

Let the rains of change fall on us all!

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 Beat and Track, and Reach Out for Mental Health).

We talked about music, creativity and (taste warning) a game that I in no way condone, where people decorate their willies with fuzzy felt. Some of it is more mature than that bit, but let's be honest not by much. I now can't wait to see if Stu (my best new friend IN THE WORLD) can hold true to his promise taking me on a roadtrip to teach me about his new hobby of actual hashtage Vanlifing.

Enjoy!

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 and much more.

Question for you guys - I have been trying to do twiddly things I hope make the EQ and volume better on the last couple of episodes, how are we finding the noise levels? (LEVEL!)

Another episode will drop in a few days with top podmeister and Podbible editor Stu Whiffen, and there is a Bonus Patron only Noel Fanboy special coming to tell you all about my special visit to Noel-Land with Nanny. Stay tuned.

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 themselves for before jumping in.

We basically spent a lot of time talking about abusive behaviour, unhealthy relationships, controlling people, trauma, coercive control and other stuff like that, which was not the plan. Anyway, I think a lot of is quite engaging, but I want to be clear neither of are experts in this field (though both of us have experienced all sorts of nutty shit) so if you find it hard to hear people graspingly hypothesizing about something you may find personally painful just tread carefully, or turn it off if we're pissing you off!

I might talk about this subject a bit more on my own if there is a thirst for those kind of musings, as there is a lot of it about and I have done some learning about some of this stuff to help my own little rollercoaster along.

Anyway stay lucky, lots of love

Captain Seaside

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 the world of comedy and some top insight into the sort of things a comedian has to navigate when putting a live act together. I love talking to Rose, she is loads of fun and she keeps the energy up far more than I ever do. It's kind of like borrowing a particularly intelligent puppy (with human teeth).

If you like listening to Roses sparkling personality you should check out the podcast she makes with with comedy gang-mates Camille Ucan (who we've already had on) and Beattie Edmondson, it's called Birthday Girls Houseparty and is about as much fun as you can in your ears.

Enjoy

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 understanding of facing up to some mental health stuff as a result of the crazy-bonkers merry-go-round I myself exist on.

I mean what harm can it do to share eh guys (and girls and everyone else). So go for a wee walk, or have a lil lie down and let's all huddle up and get through the sticky stuff (not jizz) together.

Well, triple hello my beautiful babies. What a cracking episode I have for you this week.

Last week Linda the VW camper and I made our first trip away and met the Belter from Belper herself, Selina Mosinski, better known as Charity Shop Sue! Literally one of my favourite comedy characters of modern times.

And what a great, smart, chatty and straight talkin' delight she turned out to be. Listen to us waxing on about comedy, creativity and authenticity over a couple of pints of Shipyard, before i went and got drunk with friend and Patron, 'Reece the piece' who lives nearby. He even let Linda and I kip in his work carpark.

A sensational start to the man and van era of Stupid Hearts Club.

Enjoy.....

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 the oddness of curated, corporate diversity drives.

I think I have made most of it listenable with some EQ mastermixing, but I do apologise for the occasional mutters and chair scrapes in the background. Think of it as rich textural evidence that SHC is not afraid to head straight to streets (and then go in an arts centre)

Love be upon thee

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.

Hope you have a giggle listening. I am really rather fond of you all.

Marvel as we discuss people being awful at school, youth fashions of yesteryear and our ridiculous list of nicknames for each other.

Apologies if the whole thing makes you feel like there is a burgeoning global male crisis spreading across our failing civilisation.

Frankly, if there is one, this is what it would sound like.

(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 talk about.

But this week it's time to get back to what Stupid Hearts Club is REALLY about. Me laughing like a twat at things that my writer friend Alistair Griggs says out of his mouth, with not a hint of irony.

There is some sensational, vintage Griggs in here, he sets the pace by sighing and dreaming about having an AI boss, my very idea of hell, and ends with revelations about his his take-away curry ordering habits. You will not be disappointed.

If you have never heard Griggs and I chat before, I encourage you to start here and then go back to our previous episodes and gorge yourself on absurdity and tension.

You can also still find our orginal episode of 'Sick Minds', our first attempt at a podcast.

I love you all. Thank you so much for continuing to support me.

It is more and more obvious to me that many of my listeners really appreciate emotional honest and mental health chat alongside the silly stuff, so I will always keep that thread going. This chat with Katerina has got some incredibly insightful stuff in it and I hope you find it as interesting as I did. Brilliant guest.

Stay curious everybody xx

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 from both, there's some good bits if you bear with my wanging on...

Keep the messages coming and let me know if you would like something mentioned or read out on the pod.

Love you all

Uncle Ma'am

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, shitty internet arguing, Alan Watts and much more.

Check out Richards live show SILLY BOY very soon at Soho Theatre, you can find him on Instagram @rich_hardisty

Will defo be getting him back as we awaken the matrix in each other

Enjoy babies-

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 guests coming soon and thank heavens my WIFI now allows me to record and use Cleanfeed at home.

Good times ahead baby

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, superior attitude to discussing the screen arts never fails to leave me open mouthed with contempt.

Conor, as you will hear also has a very insidious way of pulling at the seams of my fragile ego until I am a disoriented wreck screaming into the abyss where love once promised to be. Why do I do this to myself?

Please enjoy the unbearable tension between us.

Yours sincerely

Captain Seaside

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 while here, I forced him to confront the sea, which he despises with all his rotten heart.

Hear us discuss Griggs lack of empathy, capacity for gratitude and strange preference for faceless corporations over bijous, small privately owned businesses, while I yelp and marvel at the sheer gaul of the man.

At least two more episodes coming soon v quickly, to make up for the lag since late Feb-

SHC is back and she's BAD baby

Am v excited about being here in Brighton on so many levels so let's hope it spreads to my creative output.

I hope you enjoy this lovely chat I had with Camille. She is a bloody great kid and a well established sketch-character fixture on the live comedy scene along with her pals Rose and Beattie, who together are known as Birthday Girls. They are ace and have a very popular and respected pod too, which is also called Birthday Girls House Party.

In fact yours truly is a guest on it this week, so go and find that if you fancy some extra Unca Nico time.

Awooogaaa!!

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, with it's coffee cafe's, skateboard-vinyl/hybrid jamdowns and vegan shoe'd be-dreadlocked dreamers!

This episode was recorded just before Christmas when I met up with  Miles for a coffee and then broke up with him in a car while presenting him with a needlessly cruel gift. (Tee hee). We then talked about more 'Beige' stuff that makes our blood boil. And generally nipped at each other a bit like hawks pecking a dead badger.

Enjoy it. For it will never happen again as long as I breathe!

It's over babe! You're SO dumped!

Ma'am

PS- As a Bonus Clip I am going to upload the audio of Daddy Ma'am giving Pig his 'Don't Care Package' in the car! Horrible boy!

Ho ho ho, it's time to stare in wide-eyed-awe at anti-festive misery-arse Alistair Griggs and equally sour-faced human energy leach St uncle Nicolas moaning about what a pain in the throat Christmas is for all concerned. Hear us lurch around like the feckless spawn of the dark spirit as we discuss the pointlessness of kind gestures in general including cards, gifts and writing love songs, as Griggs reminds us why I started bullying him for comedic effect- which is that he has a habit of saying unspeakably un-empathetic things with the confidence of a God.

Plenty of classic Griggs to enjoy here. Do stay tuned for a lil cover version at the end too, just for you Alistair xxx

Hope this gets you all through whatever hell awaits you this Christmas-

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby

Merry Christmas one and all

Hello loves.

I decided to record a solo one this week just cos I have caught myself feeling happier lately and think I should put that into context for anyone struggling at the moment, having been seriously depressed earlier in the year myself. I hope it helps some of you to hear someone wanging on about recovery and stuff. All I can say is, whoever you are, I care, we care and other people very probably care too so whatever you are going through don't go through it alone- And I hope you take this episode as actual evidence that even the very dark times can and WILL pass, often in just a few eggy months. After which you will not recognise what your brain was bowling at you when it was poorly. If I can do it, so can you baby.

Going to put the tune at the end up on it's own and maybe a couple of others if that is of interest as wee bonus bits.

Also the 'Childs Game' conversation from Matt's pod is coming later as a cheery Brucie Bonus after this more serious episode.

Big love

Lady Maam'alade

PS - I have uploaded a photo of the symptoms 'diary' I made as I tried to get through the month I was told was still to go with major withdrawal symptoms- It really helped being able tick it off every night without having to remember it all again. I just picked up the pad at teatime and ticked or crossed how the last day had been until after a month I could see I was sleeping and eating better and doing okay.
