A Pint With Seaniebee

Highly-educated perfectionist and Philip Larkin expert, Patrick Davidson Roberts is one of the UK's most preeminent working poets. From humble Northern beginnings, his journey has included brushes with heroin, suicide and severe bouts of mental illness, which he addresses with great candour and insight. His extraordinary first collection - The Mains - was published in 2018 and prompted the following from the poet Fran Lock: 'This is a resonant and necessary collection. The language is sharp, exact, and in places acutely unconsoled. It is haunting, spiritually probing, and brave, with a rigorous rather than reckless bravery. You read it, rapt, and only afterwards realise you have been holding your breath.'

Partially hammered (and over a bottle of Oyster Bay from Centra), Seaniebee and The Don mull over many of life’s big questions: why death begins at 50; how capitalism is destroying the ’99 Ice Cream; the trouble with Irish Americans; how to survive as an anorexic during a famine; a tribute to Brendan Grace; a rather forgettable joke about Alzheimer’s; Tayto; Trump; Jews and much, much more!

The son of a Nazi hunter, Jonathan Durden took the UK ad business by storm when he founded PHD, one of the world’s most innovative media companies in the late eighties.

To mark the end of Pride Month, the Chair of Stonewall UK joins the podcast to have a frank and open conversation about the complex Trans issue that is causing such division in society today. We also discuss diversity, gender equality, religion and why today might be the most dangerous time to be alive; and why multi-brand companies like P&G and Unilever need to course correct internal culture before venturing out with big-statement work around diversity and political themes.

Mark Denton is an inspirational speaker and one of the few remaining people in advertising who genuinely believes in the power of puerility (even deciding to have a bit of totally impromptu fun at the beginning of this interview). He has worked at and founded some of the most creative agencies in the UK over the past four decades and his current shop COY! – a multi-disciplinary creative collective – carries on this fine tradition.

Former head of The D&AD, and labeled a “Digital female icon” by The Guardian, Laura Jordan Bambach’s legacy is likely to be less about titles and more about her drive to effect change by DOING, rather than just talking about it. Apart from founding Mr President, one of the UK’s most progressive advertising agencies, Laura has also spent most of her life fighting for women in the notoriously patriarchal and misogynistic ad industry. In 2007, she helped set up the SheSays mentoring programme (now 40,000 strong and about to launch in Afghanistan), that encourages women to pursue careers in advertising and design. She is also a founder of the "Cannt Festival", a more practical and grounded version of Cannes. We talk Gillette, Petersen, the current state of feminism and ideas on how we might get out of this looming Climate Catastrophe, which current predictions suggest may be upon us by the end of the next decade.
