The Full Circle: Linking Songs with Musicians & Friends

DC : Doctor & Music Enthusiast

DC is a UK NHS working Doctor and a Music Enthusiast, hosting a music themed podcast called The Full Circle which links songs together with the last song linking to the first song, hence completing The Full Circle. Episodes feature either some of DC's favourite musicians, some of his favourite people, or he links songs together solo. In between The Full Circle and general chat, there are also fun features such as "Would You Rather", quizzes tailored to the guest and the now legendary "Abid's Words of Wisdom"! As a Psychiatry Doctor, DC also invites guests to talk about their own Mental Health experiences if they wish, and encourage others to reach out, if they are experiencing their own mental health difficulties.  Follow the Full Circle page on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/fullcirclepodcastDC

    Podcasthon Special: Mental Health Music Charity Tonic Music's Jeordie Shenton Creates His Full Circle!

    This week's episode is a Podcasthon Special! Podcasthon is an incredible non-profit initiative uniting thousands of podcasters globally and raising awareness for various charitable causes. I wanted to showcase the incredible mental health charity Tonic Music who support music industry workers, music fans and music youth. Head over to tonicmusic.co.uk for more info. I chose this charity given my job as a psychiatrist and a massive music fan, going to gigs and speaking to some of my favourite musicians on The Full Circle, both mental health and music are a huge part of my life. This episode is the conversation I had with Jeordie Shenton in December 2025. We spoke about his role in Tonic Music, why he chose Tonic Music and we discussed the current challenges in the music industry including the highly controversial use of AI. Jeordie also creates his Full Circle, linking each song together in succession and the last song linking back to the first song, hence completing The Full Circle. They are all Tonic Music related, ranging from The Specials to The Libertines! Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6kOHJDQgN0VPu9dhjDAK6H Head over to www.podcasthon.org to discover many other charities and podcasts taking part in this amazing initiative!

    Black Foxxes' Frontman Mark Holley Creates His Full Circle, Talks Touring, Burnout, Crohn's & Reflecting On All Black Foxxes Album!

    Black Foxxes are an incredible alternative rock band who have released 4 superb studio albums and most recently a live album where they recorded it at Vada Studios which is available to buy now, but there are very limited quantities remaining! Get it here at https://blackfoxxes.bigcartel.com/product/live-at-vada-lp It was an absolute honour to have had frontman and vocalist from the very beginning, Mark Holley on The Full Circle! He has overcome some tough adversities over the years, including battling Crohn's Disease (and reveals what has kept it in remission!), and juggling his day-to-day work and working in the music industry. We speak about some heavy topics such as burnout, but also keep it light-hearted at times with a quiz called "Black Foxxes or No Foxxes" where Mark had to work out if the lyrics were by Black Foxxes or not! He also shares which album is his least favourite, and I was shocked! The songs he chose for The Full Circle were great, and very personal for Mark, ranging from John Grant to Sun Kil Moon!  Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0toJwiBpMPj0BRIKcN7bYS Mark and Black Foxxes are currently on tour in mainland Europe! They're also touring the UK in April as well as touring Australia afterwards as well for the first time, which we speak out! Exciting is an understatement.  Tickets for their live shows available here: https://www.blackfoxxes.com/home#live - let me know if you're at their London show and I shall see you there!

    Wheatus Founder Brendan B. Brown Creates His Full Circle! Has He Gotten Sick Of Performing Teenage Dirtbag Live?

    Wheatus founder, songwriter and frontman Brendan B. Brown is the very special guest on The Full Circle! Their incredible hit Teenage Dirtbag is a world renowned song, and relatable to so many and we speak about the amazing feat of reaching 1 billion streams on Spotify! We also speak about how he got his head shaved for charity at Wembley Arena where they supported Bowling For Soup, performing with Ed Sheeran, and the impact AI is having on the music industry. Brendan answers some tough Would You Rather questions, and plays a quiz called "Wheatus Or Not" where he has to figure out which lyric is not Wheatus! And of course, he creates his Full Circle, all with a specific theme, ranging from Prince to AC/DC! Playlist for the songs:  https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5dqKRFZ6cyog9hlSRB2mWS Head over to https://wheatus.com/shows to get tickets for upcoming shows! Follow Wheatus on Social Media!
