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

    Business. Just Business. The Meffs' Lily Hopkins is the very special guest on The Full Circle, and an absolute honour to have her on! We cover a whole range of topics including The Meffs upcoming album Business (which is an incredible album!), talking about why it's important to speak up about the societal issues and division that's happening in the UK right now, upcoming album release shows and she answers some tough Would You Rather questions and plays a lyrics quiz called Meffs or Meffsed Up? (Sorry if you groaned) The songs Lily chose for The Full Circle are great, ranging from Rage Against The Machine to The Cranberries!

    The Amity Affliction's Vocalist & Songwriter Joel Birch Talks House of Cards, Mental Health, Touring & Creates His Full Circle!

    An absolute honour to have The Amity Affliction's Joel Birch on The Full Circle this week! We spoke just before the band started their US tour with August Burns Red and he speaks about his excitement returning back to America! He also opens about his mental health and what is helping him more these days, the difficulties with social media, and also being misquoted about why he did not like working in a studio before... it's not the reason you think! Joel also plays a lyrics quiz where he had to work out if the lyrics were Amity Affliction or not; you may notice an album was missed out and Joel was in agreement to leave it out and explains why! We also talk about their upcoming album House of Cards, due to be released on 24th April 2026, and how the songs came about for this album. And, of course, Joel creates his Full Circle, choosing some of his favourite songs, with lyrics resonating with him, ranging from Modern Life Is War to Poison The Well! Playlist for the songs: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/7c32sCJcmWJy7LbyVzQ5DX Amity Affliction are currently playing live shows in the USA, and are coming back to the UK and mainland Europe later this year!
