#39 Geoff Lemon The self feeding cycle of depression, the intersecting crisi-tunities cricket is facing and how a performing poet came to be a podcaster from a multifaced man with a flavoured milk obsession.
Geoff Lemon is a wildly talented artist, writer, podcaster and poet who not so much fell, but ground his way into a career in cricket writing and journalism. As co-host of the revered podcast 'The Final Word' with Adam Collins, Geoff has turned an obsession with cricket into a career, starting with White Line Wireless, all the way to covering tours as a freelance broadcaster and writer with The Guardian and many other publications. However, as you will learn, Geoff is someone who is diagnosed with clinical depression and his crisp critique and commentary around cricket pushes into many swirling topics such as geopolitics, masculinity and a depth of understanding of the world's ills but also the many wonders he cherishes and explores in his travels, but also back at home.
This episode features all the segments you love, from The Art of The List to Weird Fishes, with a long and engaging conversation about Geoff's career, the self-feeding cycle of depression, the conversation that has stuck with him the most and the intersecting 'crisi-tunities' cricket and the world are facing.
