The Right Brain Club - A Creative Podcast

My first ever episode - part of a series I call 'The Creative Lockdown Series' - involves an interview with Topher Hughes, my partner in both life AND music.

Tune in and hear us talk about:

• How we met
• The Cardiff Music Scene
• Being a couple that play in a band together
• Tips on starting a band

Hope you enjoy!

Episode 2, as part of my Creative Lockdown Series, I chat with Mr James Leyshon. James is not only an actor with many an experience to share, but also a talented musician who has been putting this skill to good use in isolation!

We discuss the trials of being in the entertainment industry, acting techniques, music tastes, mental health tips (which we all know are all too helpful in these scary times!)

Have a listen! And click the link below to hear what James has been up to during lockdown :)

Episode 3 of our Creative Lockdown series is here! And I had the pleasure of chatting with ‘PARKVIEW’ Drummer Dan Roberts, about - you guessed it - drumming! So if RHYTHM is your thang, then tune in!

 

I couldn’t wait to get going with this episode as drumming is one of my biggest passions, plus Dan has a super extensive knowledge of music that, I can honestly say, left me in the dust. The dude is so knowledgable about musicians of pretty much every genre that I reckon I could’ve spoken to him for days!

 

We wax lyrical about how fun it is to be a drummer, our favourite artists to practice to during lockdown, and share stories about meeting our heroes. Stay tuned to also hear a rude interruption from Bone Daddy, who always seems to be lurking somewhere within the RBC Studio building…

This is what I like to call a 'Pop-Up Episode' as I recorded and edited it yesterday, and now i'm boshing it out for you guys today. That probably seems totally reasonable to any normal person but to me that is quick working and something i'm not very good at.

The aim of this podcast was to 'Get Real' with ya'll and shed some light on the hard times that everyone is facing at the moment. I rounded off with one major quote that literally changed the way I think about life and I hope you find it helpful too.

I hope everybody is safe and well, or whatever it is people say nowadays. Take care of each other - H xoxox

I have been uber excited to put this episode out for you guys, because not only did I laugh my face off but we also talked about preeetty much everything. From dinosaurs to nude modelling, from serial killers to Disney... here we go, Ep 4 of our Creative Lockdown Series.

Episode 5 mutha luvvas! I was joined by one of the most hardworking individuals i've ever met, Ethan Dodd.

 

I met Ethan in Art Skool in 2013 and simply had to have him on the show. His work is profound, deeply emotional, thought provoking and, well, a treat for the eye! In this episode we talk about what Ethan has been up to the past couple of years and how his work has evolved over time.

 

We discuss mythology, cryptids, symbolism, social media and the overall life of an artist. I know I had fun having this conversation.. lucky for you I recorded it so you too can listen and have fun, which is what podcasts are all about.

 

So listen! Imagine you're a third party just nodding along and laughing at the appropriate moments! And check Ethan's work out on instagram: @ethangrantdodd
