Episode 12 of The JATA stars Hugh Hick, Playwright, Musician, Writer, Radio Presenter and all round lovely man. We talk about the quirks of podcasting and interviewing, the future of journalism, the creative process and re-calibrating the culture surrounding depression. It also comes bookended by two of Mr. Hick's lush-lyriced songs. Be on the look out for his plays, upcoming radio dramas, The Colour Saturn which a short film that he wrote and be sure to check out his show, LiveDrive on Dublin City FM, if traffic news garnished with banging tunes is how you get off in the afternoons.

This is the sexiest episode of The Joy and the Affray so far. Dee Larsen, this week's soft spoken, somatic sex expert, is a revelation. Operating out of Belfast in Northern Ireland, Dee's healing center Body Conscious provides a type of much needed educational approach to reclaiming one's own body by discovering the depths of its pleasure potential and expanding its erotic states. We discuss stored trauma in the body, consent, sexual / genital disassociation, the affects of porn on society, orgasmic yoga, holistic health and how to avoid / evolve beyond shitty sex, along with a whole bunch of other fascinating topics. I hope this podcast inspires awareness that sexual pleasure is in fact something to embrace, to feel proud about, to be recognised as one of the most powerful tools for self improvement related to a global movement for positive change. Happy orgasms everybody :)

I meet a robot housed in a bizarrely beautiful, non-humanoid body, who is learning how to dance. I sit down and talk to two of DAI's three creators, Martin Rautenstrauch and Jonathan O'Hear, about their wild, wonderful and unique project. Also in this episode, Brian Eno drops in to give us insights into art, community and basic income and I blab away, trying to coherently tie a bunch of thought streams into one, concise little package for y'all. All the love, enjoy x

Boom! Just like that, the Ayahuasca Diaries are back with their third installment. This week's episode features Marco, a young German shaman in training. We discuss the need for a spiritual/psychadelic kickback against the fear-based conditioning of society, his strange and long diet with the plant Chiric Sanango, the global movement of love and light and the pleasures of vomiting. Also, I discuss the recent tragic death of Maestra Olivia Arevalo, who was murdered on the 19th of April, along with the subsequent lynching of the Canadian man her tribespeople accuse of killing her. To counteract some of the darker elements expressed in last week's podcast, I discuss shamanism as a cure to western misery by way of Chamalú, a powerful Andean shaman. Enjoy the fuck out of it beautiful brothers and sisters.

Here is my most revealing episode yet where I deal with my own sadness while refracting it through the chaotic, smashed lens of what it means to be human in this society. I touch on competition, freedom, pressure and expectation, and of course, my favourite topic: Love! I also do so by quoting J. M. Coetzee and Osho along the way. Worry not, there is a silver lining. Enjoy, as always x
