    EPISODE 56: DOOM AND GLOOM WITH CAMPBELL WALKER AKA STRUTHLESS

    This one is up WAY later than it was meant to be due to an issue with website uploads, but it’s FINALLY HERE! I got to chat to one of my absolute favourite creators - Campbell Walker AKA Struthless; an illustrator, animator, loving father, youtuber, music interviewer, tattoo artist, album cover designer, mental health advocate, and now two-time author of incredible mental-health & creativity focussed books ‘Your Head is a Houseboat’ and more recently ‘Doom and Bloom: A Case For Creativity In A World Hooked On Panic’. Though Campbell isn’t the typical guest for this podcast, this is one of my favourite interviews yet, but you’ll have to listen to find out why because it’s full of ADHD-fuelled rambles, some crazy personal stories, creative processes, mental health mechanisms, and some of the rawest chats on this pod yet.
