Action - The Life and Career of Podcaster, Magazine & Clothes Label Owner, and Club Promoter, Stu Whiffen Don't Talk To Me About Work
-
- Carriere
This week, Stu Whiffen, the man of many jobs, chats with Jordan Rizzieri about his life and career.
Stu kicks us off with a discuss about how music was always important to him (1:38), and how his father's relationship with work inspired him as he got older (2:44). His parents did encourage him to get a qualification so he had something to fall back on (7:29).
He goes on to explain how he "stumbled" into his career path by way of the college he attended to study mechanics (10:18). Eventually, he found his way into club promotion, doing it the "DIY way" (14:21). When it comes to promotion, whether it's a club night or promoting his own band, Stu points to an ability to talk to people and be confident that helped make him a success (17:07).
If you're looking for the first name drop, it comes at (19:26), before Stu goes on to discuss his second band and his complicated relationship with joy (21:21). Eventually, he found himself managing the nightclub, The Pink Toothbrush (24:00), and promoting at other club nights including with our mutual friend Scroobius Pip [name drop number 2 ] (26:12). He puts the blame squarely on Pip for getting him into podcasting as well (28:50).
If you're wondering where Jordan and Stu's paths crossed, it was doing the podcasting magazine PodBible (33:12). Finally, St shares what he hopes any listener takes away from his weird and wonderful story (38:05).
