This week I sit down to discuss the different between art and content creation. Throwing the cat amongst the pigeons and calling out the creatives who rely on systems and method to create when their is no concept. I talk my own challenges but also my comfort in chaos and the unknown of it all. In living with the idea of abstract thought as the main focus of work and how that implies the work i create and why I find it more valuable than work i have made for purpose at times.

To hell with the bullet journal, word count writing and technically perfect renditions of biro drawn celebrities. Bring me something which makes me feel!

This week I sit down to talk to Artist and writer Ramona Martinez.

Ramona is a fine artist and activist involved with arts organisation and has worked within media and the arts industry for many years and is making waves as an artist should. Using stark religious Christian iconography in her work we sit down to discuss how she's been reclaiming the image and narrative of Mary from Christianity for anarchists and rebels and why it's so important for her.

We talk about how media imagery has played such a large part in the last few years and how and why artists use it so often. Discussing all things independent art from things as punk zines, free art, graffiti and faith it's a deep dive on something we've not discussed before on YAC which is religion.

This week I sit down and talk through a podcast very much inspire by a one liner by Schaffer the darklord, nerd core staple that he is. Riffing on just why it is we tend to relate more to an act, why we relate to the exaggerated version of ourselves and others when we feel we do not fit.

It's a common theme in metal and rock music as well as being a current trend in tiktok and teen celebrities to take a singular character trait and blow it up but at what cost to them and to yourselves to we buy into that image?

It's something i'm always wary of, how i present myself and in doing so I explore the ideas of self image whilst getting a little muppety.

This week Jen brings us a light hearted affair in the form of 90's icon clueless!

Clueless is a cult teen hit from 1995 and the antithesis of Ghost world which we previously covered. scoping out the world of the high flying and endearing Cher it is a modern remake of the classic Jane Austin Novel Emma and as such we are bound to draw some comparisons.

Finding as we work through why classic fiction is often placed in high school settings, just where we stand on dating a step sibling and overall how many types of plaid are really too much we look at clueless and the romance/lack of romance within!

So sit down relax, wish you had the wealth to own a computer in the 90's as we Chew through Amy Heckerling's take on Emma.

Episode 161 - Do what you want to do but don't burn out Feat MThis week I sit down to talk with the amazing Mona Kabbani, who is a Author of Vanilla and The bell chime as well as a book reviewer specialising in the horror genre. She's a generally lovely person to chat to I found as well as we delve into how she got into reviewing and her background in business and marketing as we chat about what it takes to stay agile in modern business especially when it comes to the creative industry of publishing.

Also of course discussing all things horror and her work we ponder how audience interaction and experience has become more involved especially in the horror world as of late and how it's a case of sticking to your guns when it comes to what you want to make but also not wearing yourself out!

You can catch up with Mona on

This week i sit down and discuss what streaming for 204 days straight taught me about myself, the audience and how how it changed how i work and the work i'm making. Or at least what people see of it. We get into a discussion self worth, twitch, rpan and anxiety and how we survived the lockdown periods by reaching out and bringing together people in a constant concrete world.

Overall since 2020 I have streamed over 325 days all together and it has been a journey so this is a dedication to those who tuned in and a thank you for anyone we met and lost track of along the way!

We will be bringing the streams back at some point so keep an eye out if you are one of those who joined us and enjoyed what I did!

This week i sit down with the resourceful and seemingly secretive Destiny Rogers.

I stumbled across Destiny when she went a bit viral on twitter with a smart mirror she built whilst bored https://twitter.com/DATAM0SH3R/status/1337935808293007361

Suffice to say it caught my attention as someone who likes to chase cars in terms of projects and so we sat down to learn more about her and how the project came to be along with what inspires her! A QA engineer and programmer she's one of the more technical guests I've had but creativity is not limited to paint and music but can be inspired by it as we talk 80's electronica, punk and the chaos which is project planning when you have a personality which follows ideas.

You can check her out on Twitter/Twitch here

This wee we dive into the classic tale from J M Barrie focused mainly on the story structure of the also classic Walt Disney film Peter Pan!

Pan is now a story in the public domain and has been one prone to discussion because of the many overlapping themes and undertones which run within it but the original auther himself has an interesting back story which leans into just why Peter Pan is so open to interpretation.

So this week Charlotte brings us our childhood as we dive into the fantasy, pirates and racism inherent in the film adaption. We look at the mythos of pan and Graham attempt to not ruin the story which has brought so many joy and yet ends up doing so anyway!

Give them an inch they'll take a mile. It's a phrase thrown around a lot and in a world where we continue to attempt to get equal footing and car for all of the bodies we can it's one people use as a rebuttal a lot. So! I thought where had I heard it before and sit down to tell you my view on the phrase as well as indicating that I've potentially been exploiting that sentiment for most of my life.

Just look for those cracks kids.

This week I was hugely honored to sit down with fine art powerhouses Jen Catron & Paul Outlaw. Jen and Paul are fine artists living in Brooklyn and have been featured in just a few small publications like the NY times, Playboy the Wallstreet journal not to mention exhibiting in the Brooklyn Museum, Museum of contemporary art in Detroit and Poster master gallery. Suffice to say they have credits.

We met up this week to chat all things fine art, as most of all they are performance artists and it's an art form i really steer clear from creating myself. So join us as we discuss their work, artistic practices and what really makes up being an artist that "Ego" which drives us to say "Yeh people should see this"
