Elderescence Academy™

would not sit still — and speaks as iServalan now: artist, maker, and satirical merch merchant who is not done yet. Ageing here is not a soft landing. It is the same nerve, with better aim. Archive nights. Present work. Political tees that sell because the joke is still true. A podcast for people who kept the attitude and refuse to disappear.
Elderescence Academy™ is a podcast about what happens when a life in underground art refuses to retire politely.Hosted by Sarnia de la Maré FRSA, it joins two working names that were never separate. Pasha du Valentine is the archive: founder of Brighton Arts Club in 2009, voice and camera of Goddamn Media, diaries, open mics, interviews, performance, the radical catalogue that treated confession as a form. iServalan is the present tense: music, image, publishing, and the shop floor — including the satirical Donald Trump merch that is currently carrying the press because it is the work people actually buy.The show moves between those rooms on purpose. One episode may be a remastered tape from the club. The next may be an older woman building a brand, talking fitness, craft, merch, politics, and the strange freedom of not needing to impress anyone. Elderescence means later life as expansion, not apology: the body still in use, the mouth still sharp, the archive still armed.Goddamn Media is the house. The blog, the vault, and the tees belong in the same sentence. This is not a wellness hour with a scented candle. It is a living press — past, present, and the next design drop — for listeners who aged without going quiet.Expect:

• Goddamn Media / Brighton Arts Club archive
• Pasha’s diaries, interviews, and performance residue
• iServalan on making, selling, sounding, and staying visible
• The satirical merch line as current work, not a side hustle whispered off-mic
• Ageing, neurodivergence, style, strength, and creative longevity without the soft-focus lie

If you knew Pasha when the tape was running, you are still in the right room.
If you found the tees first, this is who made them, and who she used to be.
Confession is an art form. So is staying in business.
