A Pint With Seaniebee episodes
- Episode 69 - Barbora Patkova has a pint with SeaniebeeThe lead singer of the astonishingly original, jazz-pscych-funk musical collective, The Heliocentrics, joins the pod today, to share her amazingly peripatetic life story. From humble beginnings in the Carpathian forests of Bratislava; at sixteen, she emigrated on her own to the US, with nothing but an English dictionary to keep her company! Quickly graduating from High School with straight As and married at 17, she eventually tired of America and sought pastures new in the UK where she completed a degree in ecology at Cambridge before forays into acting, dancing, barge-living, partying, writing, art and singing led to her “Sliding-Doors-like” successful introduction to The Heliocentrics. Ever optimistic, spiritual, curious and positive, Barbora is a lover of life who believes in grasping opportunity, staying true to your inner child, embracing failure and always allowing your creativity to blossom.LINKSThe HeliocentricsOn Facebook: https://tinyurl.com/ycdhwaf4On Bandcamp: https://tinyurl.com/yadpwnxwNew album: A World of Masks – available on itunes or Amazon: https://tinyurl.com/y7edb6xkA Pint With SeaniebeeTop 12 Best New Podcast Series of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/gps9tn5Top 50 Best Podcast Episodes of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/hp83rnw57 min

- Episode 67 - Kieran McGowan has a pint with SeaniebeeToday’s pod is the story of how Ireland emerged from sleepy agricultural backwater, to the modern, first world nation it is today. For over three decades, Kieran McGowan was one of the architects of this transition in his position as head of the IDA – the body responsible for attracting overseas investment and bringing jobs to the country. From humble, working class beginnings, he shares what it was like growing up in Dublin in the fifties and sixties; the corruption and graft that so blighted the seventies and eighties; and the subsequent boom and bust of the “Celtic Tiger.” We discuss lessons learnt (and not!) and what can be done to fix today’s Ireland, which appears bereft of creativity and perhaps mired more than ever in procrastination and political inaction across so many important socio-economic issues.LINKSFormer Irish Prime Minister Charles Haughey: http://tinyurl.com/y95snfcbBusiness in the Community initiative: https://www.bitc.ie/The IDA: https://www.idaireland.comA Pint With SeaniebeeTop 12 Best New Podcast Series of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/gps9tn5Top 50 Best Podcast Episodes of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/hp83rnwRelease date: November 10th 2017Runtime: 49mRecorded: Dublin50 min

- Episode 65 - El Prevost has a pint with SeaniebeeEl Prevost has been at the cutting edge of the UK’s underground scene for the past decade, creating high quality electronic music filled with feeling and soul. Growing up in working class London, and having to deal with the death of his brother and abandonment by his mother in his teens, his story is one of hard graft and succeeding against all the odds. Third Ear’s Guy McCreery has said: “El Prevost has a talent for beats, grooves and sound design that few can match”. You can judge that for yourself, as he shares some of his unique blend of techno-house music with us on the pod today.LINKS“Detroit to Deptford” on October 28th featuring El Prevost: http://tinyurl.com/ybmpssvuEl Prevost website: www.nospeakers.co.ukMore El Prevost music on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/no-speakersA Pint With SeaniebeeTop 12 Best New Podcast Series of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/gps9tn5Top 50 Best Podcast Episodes of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/hp83rnwRelease date: October 20th 2017Runtime: 46mRecorded: London47 min

- Episode 63 - Antonio Fernandez (KING TONE) has A Pint With SeaniebeeThis is an astonishing story of redemption and by far the most controversial and polarizing guest we’ve had on the show so far. Antonio Fernandez, aka KING TONE, is the former leader of The Latin Kings, the largest Hispanic street gang in the US, with over 50,000 members worldwide. Growing up in a Brooklyn ghetto, he left school at the age of 9 to become a drug dealer and begin a life of violent crime that eventually led to crack addiction and him being incarcerated whilst still in his teens. In Riker’s Island he joined The Latin Kings, at the time a primarily prison-based gang that eventually transferred itself out onto the streets of New York, where they quickly became one of the most vicious and feared operations in the city. Antonio recounts how he set out to transform the gang away from crime and into a political movement, fighting for social justice for all Hispanics. A disbelieving NYPD called him ‘a gangster with a PR campaign’, and so began a long running feud with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani that ended with King Tone being put away for 13 years.In addition to his extraordinary story, we discuss how Donald Trump might feasibly be leading America towards another civil war, and how it is now time for all marginalized groups to come together and ACT to combat the growing divisiveness across the country.A Pint With SeaniebeeTop 12 Best New Podcast Series of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/gps9tn5Top 50 Best Podcast Episodes of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/hp83rnwRelease date: September 30th 2017Runtime: 74mRecorded: Kinsale1 hr 15 min
- Episode 62 - The Dotmaster has a pint with SeaniebeeToday we get a glimpse into the dark arts of graffiti with one of the world’s most preeminent street artists. The Dotmaster’s work has been likened to Banksy with his widespread use of humorous, detailed, thought-provoking stenciling. We chart his early beginnings; discuss the double-sided arguments that beset graffiti and the social dichotomy between ‘vandalism’ and ‘art’. He also shares his controversial views on the controlling aspects of Arts Council funding and why we probably would all be better off without it. And we also learn why drawing “cock & balls” is the “Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3…” of the trade.LinksWebsite: http://dotmaster.co.uk/Twitter: @dotmastersMore work: http://www.widewalls.ch/artist/dotmasters/Why men draw cock and balls: http://tinyurl.com/ya33pbdeBruno Dutot the Edgecliff story: http://tinyurl.com/y9877troA Pint With SeaniebeeTop 12 Best New Podcast Series of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/gps9tn5Top 50 Best Podcast Episodes of 2016: http://tinyurl.com/hp83rnwRelease date: September 20th 2017Runtime: 47mRecorded: London48 min

About A Pint With Seaniebee
From the publisher's feed
A Pint With Seaniebee is an informal chat with creative folks who have lived, or are living brave, interesting and unconventional lives. We examine how their background and upbringing forged the path…
they went down; what decisions they took that made all the difference; what ideas they have to change the world in which we live; what life-wisdom they have garnered; and looking back, perhaps what they might change or what advice they might offer up to those following in their footsteps.
