  • GBA Extra - After Dinner Dreams
    In this spur of the moment GBA Extra we get even better acquainted Jen.
    This summer after dinner Jen was talking about some research she was doing about sleep paralysis which sparked a childhood memory in me. We decided to turn the mic on and share the conversation with the show. We talk about strange sleep states, dreams, memories and writing. We have a false ending and then we come back with some readings and analysis of Jens sleep diary.
    And the episode is capped with a short story which Jen wrote about "locked in syndrome" which was performed by previous GBA guest Louise at Stand Up Tragedy earlier this year. This story isn't about dreams but it does contain many of the themes of both this episode and of Jen's writing in general.

  • GBA 84 Writing Group
    In GBA 84 we get better acquainted with my writing group. It's a 7 way conversation focused on our shared interest of writing. Half the group are making their second appearance. For the other half this is a teaser for upcoming episodes focuses on them.
    We sit down for tea and cake in the dining room of a Camber Sands holiday house during our first trip away together. We tell the story of how the group formed, discuss the way the group works, consider writing as a craft, a passion and a form of work, tackle writing "block", the future of the novel, whether writing can be taught and other aspects of this thing we do.
    The group are:

  • GBA 83 Chris Goode
    In GBA 83 we get better acquainted Chris Goode. It's a conversation between an audience member and performer as I meet Chris properly for the first time. We talk God, theatre, religion, mental health, BDSM, bereavement, neuroscience, politics and more.
    We pick apart a piece of theatre Chris made called God/Head which I saw him perform earlier this year. It's a very personal piece of performance based on recent personal experiences.
    You may also get better acquainted with me as I discuss what areas of my own story intersect with this performance, going into what might be considered my more "weird" psychological experiences and examining my relationship with faith and to mental health.
    Chris plugs:
