In this episode I catch up with a brilliant Stand-Up Comedian, Spoken Word Artist, and an all round go getter and authentic human being that is |Sarah Callaghan. I first met Sarah at a gig in London and she blew me away. Her pieces were thoughtful and yet energetic. Later when I found out that she was actually a stand up comedian moonlighting as an artist I knew I had to have her as a guest on the podcast. As you'll hear in our conversation, we touch on a few different topics but what I love is that we really just spoke as we might have in person. Without any masks. This is 343 with Sarah Callaghan.

To connect with Sarah and to listen to her work and support he live shows, you can find her on Instagram: @scallaghan1

This episode is a little different. Instead of having a guest like I usually do I'm unveiling the process of writing and producing one of my songs. 

Co-written with Jake Edwards-Wood (@waywood.j) & Yves Fernandez (@yvesfernandez)

You can listen to the song in FULL at the end of the episode and then you can watch us perform it live in the same studio where we wrote it: "Vegas LIVE" 

I'd love to hear from you so feel free to send me a question, comment or suggestion. @midesmusic or email me at [email protected]

My guest in this episode is a great friend of mine. I admire his writing and have done for years. He's the author of some amazing books like: "Your father walks like a crab" and his work is self described as 'Poetry for people who hate poetry'. We had a long rivalry a few summers ago when we played Tennis nearly everyday. And I still get threats of him beating me on FIFA which will never happen but a person can dream lol. We had a great conversation and if you haven't encountered anything from Tolu, then you need to explore it today. My guest is Tolu Akinyemi.

If you want to connect with Tolu, you can find links to his social media right here: www.poetolu.com. His Instagram handle is @poetolu where you can read samples of his work.

My guest in this episode is Josh Bridge, a long time friend and collaborator. I've seen his work grow over the years from one tier to another. As you'll hear in this episode, it all started when a small spark was created and he was handed a camera in church. Today he's not only a filmmaker but also a script writer and director. 

You can watch Josh's movies and take in his work by checking out his profile on Instagram and Youtube at @_joshbridge. While you're there catch up on Mother's Cry, a visual poem that will definitely draw you in emotionally.

In this episode I'm talking with a legend in the making. He's a brilliant guitar player with a big heart and even bigger ambitions to be known, not just as the best guitar player in Africa, but the world. By asking just three questions we cover a lot of ground and Femi's infectious personality shines through right from the start. He's a friend and an incredible musician, this is Femi Leye.

If you'd like to hear more of Femi's music you can find him on instagram, https://www.instagram.com/femi/leye / On youtube just search for Femi Leye and you're in!
