Sam & Caomhán want everyone to have a side project. But they know it’s bloody tough. That's why they've created this podcast to help inspire and motivate everybody – plus themselves – to pursue their passion in their spare time. In each episode, the lads chat with side project aficionados, highlight deadly projects, pitch some questionable ideas, and give an insight into the hurdles they face with their own side projects.

Stephen “Hephee” Heffernan
Illustrator Hephee is welcomed into HeadStuff HQ for episode 7 of
the side project podcast. He talks about his drawing style, what
people like to like, and his next Peachy gallery show. And, with
Caomhán away, Sam loses the run of himself with puns as he
pitches a series of pun-based side projects. Including one about
owls, one about dog portraits, and one about a dating app for
artists.
