📣 This week on The Utopia Project, Chunk, Jak & Sharpy are joined by guest co-host; Coope and on the couch they havej spoken word poet, author and professional cheese enthusiast; Stu Freestone to build his perfect planet.
Stu takes the gang on a journey from acting and accidentally landing TV adverts on his road to spoken word poetry, his new book The Lights That Blur Between, touring the UK and why writing became such an important way of processing life, grief and mental health.
Then, as usual, it's on to planet building, where there's a national anthem that gets progressively louder, a flag that is actually a never-ending Catchphrase puzzle, and a full-blown cheese war cry.
The most gloriously ridiculous planet centered around cheese and good vibes!
🌍 The Utopia Project is a show involving 3 best friends on a mission to try and build a hypothetical utopian planet, free from all the mild annoyances and gripes of real life.
✈️ Come on a journey with them as they create their own dream planets and discover what their guest's perfect worlds would look like, on The Utopia Project!
