Getting Better Acquainted

In GBA 324 we get better acquainted with Edd Hedges. He talks about stand up comedy and storytelling, accepting that you are going to make mistakes and get things wrong, different types of silence and the appeal of going off into the woods to write sad songs. We talk about and around his true story show Wonderland, compare notes on doing storytelling shows about toxic masculinity (and the life experiences that inspired them) and mention Sofie Hagen a lot.

Content note: bullying, domestic violence, violence in general, body issues

In GBA 323 we get better acquainted with Carys. She talks about music: her first memories and musical influences, her dads cassette tapes and guitar playing, studying music history and theory at Oxford, DJing dance music, managing a youth orchestra and supporting music in education work. We also cover loving/working in the arts more generally, navigating sexism and racism, how making big choices about education at a young age can backfire and renouncing Buddhism.

In GBA 322 we get better acquainted with Oliver. He talks about the cathartic experience of failure, sounds and shows that influenced and inspired him and making the new podcast Kane and Feels: Paranormal Investigators. We compare our experiences of making audio and making audio drama, discuss the landscapes of podcasting and radio, and reflect on both the isolation and the community that can be found from messing around with sound.

It's another episode of GBA Replayed which showcases some of the conversations recorded in the early years of Getting Better Acquainted.

This episode is being re-released because Eric sadly passed away last Saturday and I wanted to mark his passing by remembering his life. After the replayed episode 33 there are some clips from episode 34 featuring my dad and Eric talking about their friendship.

----------------

In GBA 33 we get better acquainted with Eric. He talks about his extensive BBC career, film making, writing, how he met my father, the effect of national service and the physical and sensual process of typing. And a lot more. He also has a very interesting approach to the process of being recorded.

Eric deconstructs the process and purpose of plugging.

And in GBA 34 we get better acquainted with both Eric and my father. It's late at night after dinner and we’ve had a few drinks. We talk about their friendship (which is older than me) and how Eric influenced me when I was a young writer.

In GBA 319 we get better acquainted with Laura and Sarai from the JewCL podcast. They talk about making the podcast and doing the research which inspired it.

Laura and Sarai plug:
