Dimed Out

This week I'm joined by Sapphire Geer, author of the book 'Survive". A challenging and touching memoir that recounts a truly remarkable, life changing experience.

At the age of 11, Sapphire was left to survive starvation and the frigid elements of winter, amongst the Yukon wilderness. 

Having published the book, Sapphire discusses surviving such a physical, mental and emotional experience. How she found herself in a place to confront the past and put her story into words and how she hopes her story will inspire others to speak out about their traumatic pasts and find healing as well.

Alright gang, one of the things I've been working on recently is putting together a collection of music that was originally made for the podcast, but has evolved into something larger than just a 20 second transition.

It's still in the works but I have a bunch of tracks ready and I wanted to give you a little preview of what to expect.

The project is shaping up to be an EP/Mini Album with the tentative title of "Dimed Out Jamz".

Musically speaking, it's a mix of lo-fi hip hop and ambient music with some jazz influences and a couple of psychedelic elements to add a little spice.

Not sure on an ETA yet, but I will keep you posted in the meantime, enjoy this little sample platter.

This week I'm joined by mindset coach and all round curious cat, Dani Longo. We're diving into the importance of dream journalling and interpretation. How dreams help us process fear and anxiety. The trippy art of lucid dreaming and the relationship between science and spirituality.

We also get into what exactly a Mindset coach is. Dani's path to becoming one. The personal rewards it has brought her and how a mindset coach could be just the thing you need to upgrade yourself for the new year.

As we say goodbye to the turbulent year that was 2020, we're not lamenting the awful that we've endured. Instead we're celebrating the bright spots amongst the darkness.

After cracking open a proverbial podcast time capsule, I invited four previous guests to contribute 2 things that they've found and loved in 2020. Beloved TV shows, hobbies, video games, lifelong memories, personal revelations and more are all going into the mix. The only question is, what two joyous discoveries are you throwing in?

Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house. Not a creature was stirring…except me, my mum, Santa Claus, Krampus & Belsnickel. 



In this festive special we've loaded up the sleigh with yuletide memories from childhood. The fear of having my picture taken with Father Christmas. Santa deniers. The ideology of Christmas Shoes. Old socks full of nuts and fruit. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. A typewriter, and some alternatives to Santa Claus, courtesy of German folklore.

Alright lads, so here we are, on the other side of the US Election and the end of our first season.

We will of course be talking about the historic, emotional roller-coaster week that was, BUT we'll also be discussing highlights of our first season and hopes for the future.

With time running out before one of the most dramatic, integral elections in US history. We're looking at the past four years and the possible future of the next four. In a hybrid episode of sorts, conducted originally as a livestream, we're discussing the importance of pivotal issues such as Economics, Environment and Immigration.

Alright lads, seeing as it's Halloween here's a spooky companion piece to this years Halloween special. 

In this bonus episode you'll find me talking with our special guest Joe about real life locations for some of cinemas most iconic horror movies. Plus courtesy of Thrillist I take a look at some of America's most haunted and downright creepy locations.

Alright lads, it's Halloween week & we've got plenty of treats!

Special guest, horror aficionado & co-host of The Podcast Macabre, Joe Meyers brings us a list of somewhat overlooked, underserved, indie & lesser known horror movies. Modern vampires, serial killers, creepy cults & more make up for an excellent slate of scary films for your Halloween viewing.

Alright lads, this week we're turning off the lights and diving into my subconscious.

This year I've been keeping a dream journal to document my night time visions of missing siblings, teenage goths, time loops and giant spiders.

Now I'm cracking it open and with the help of a dream dictionary, I'm hoping to get a better understanding of what they mean.
