Yelling at concrete isbi-weekly podcast for coffee and conversation, taking a look at the life and interests of the guests who chat with me as well as taking an introverted look at topics I'm interested in! Graham is an artist and passionate creative who thrives on generating conversation and discussion in a more abstract manner than just posing questions so three weeks out of each month with a one week breather he sits down to have a cuppa and chat. When guests come they bring their own topic so every episode is lead by the guests interests and what they want to discuss and the solo casts are wandering thoughts on subjects which interest Graham. The goal is keep the subjects diverse and give people a space to just have a chill and talk about what's really going on. You can catch the show three times a month on a Friday and follow it through the year as Graham brings you a range of guests and topics. The key word is conversation so we don't edit we just talk and that allows us to relax and really get into subjects. I hope you'll join us.

    Episode 293 - Combining science and inspiration? Feat Tricia Duffy

    This week I sit down with Tricia Duffy. Creator, teacher, writer, singer and host of her own podcast "in ten years time". Tricia found me in this instance and we decided to sit down and talk many topic but notably the impact of the creative process on mental state and its value to cognitive health. Tricia like myself involves herself in many things and in doing so is completing a PHD on the topic of creative practice and how it can be a benefit to your physical well being in many way which are often overlooked. We share that view of how to tackle a society built for money is often as well to simply create accessible opportunities so it was great to sit down and get to know her and her passions and discuss just how one practice folds into another.

    Episode 294 - Your audience owes you nothing.

    This week I sit down to talk a personal gripe. Often on social media i follow artists and once in a while I see a comment or post like "Why aren't people engaging with my work?" "Why do they like that and not mine?" "Audiences just don't understand my stuff". And it irritates me as they seem to have forgotten, you're audience doesn't owe you their attention online. They have lives and other interests and its up to you to make something which breaks that mold for them. So this week lets talk marketing. Responsible art creation, audience engagement and most of all how to just make things for yourself.

    Episode 292 - The tail end of a hurricane.

    This week I sit down to talk grief, navigating change and how big moments can sometimes seem like they need a quick fix or a method you have used 100 times but grief is different. It comes in waves and can be like navigating the remnants of a broken building. It takes time to find the foundation again. If you're going through it right now or planning on making bigger changes in your life remember to be patient with yourself and make the measure of progress simply that you're keeping going to begin with.

    Chapters: 0:00 Intro 0:47 Title 1:06 Meet the guest 20:49 Skip to the topic 1:08:00 Skip to the end conclusion 1:10:26 What is some great advice? 1:11:48 Who should I speak to next? We're back! This week on the podcast: Graham and his brother Martyn from  @AlternativeAdventures  sit down to discuss the volatile statement that creators should focus more on Curation over Creation. in a relaxed fit episode unedited for conversation betterment the pair discuss the need to focus on curating your online output and discuss early 00's web blogs, lifestyle icons, and how brands such as Vans monopolise on being able to push a "vibe" rather than a "shoe". Martyn's big want is for creators to think less about what they post and showing of their own work but more their personalities and how building a community can be more "publicity" essential than making the "perfect post".

    Episode 290 - Collaboration vs Competition Feat Marty Gordon (aka Whatwouldjesusglue)

    This week I sit down with artist Marty Gordon, Collage and cartoonist and overall interesting artist! Marty was recommended to me by other people which is apt for the topic of the show but also as he has a fascinating background as a former minister and a strong love of community for art which of course fits very well with this show! As such as sat down this week to talk about the challenges as an artist on topics such as finding the right moments to create, storing work, keeping in the scene and how certain spaces can vary in the level of support provided to you before after and during a show. We are both huge believers in lifting up other artists and creating actual connections rather than adding someone to a follow list and as such it was a pleasure to be able to talk through that landscape of thought with Marty.

    Episode 289 - Learning the value of small talk - The Gen Z stare.

    Maybe it's the millennial in me but I want bridge the gap in defense of small talk. It's a bridge we use with one another and in many ways in an art form in itself. Some are bad some are good but over all we need it to put people at ease and grow communication more effectively. And no you don't owe anyone happiness or politeness but we do owe people the benefit of the doubt and helping them when they are anxious. So this week we sit down to talk gen z stare, social situations, Gen X rudeness, Millennial humor and all the other things which will get me into trouble for even mentioning them online as an old man.

    Episode 267 - The majority of art is accidental

    I am a firm believer that all things can be art, you only need label them as such. I also believe there is good and bad art. Something I think is important to remember when dealing with artists though is that art is accidental. There is a level of organic chaos which is resonant in creation and whilst I'm not declaring all art is a fluke or can be waved away or "anyone can do that" I am saying declaring yourself the best is wrong and saying all things were intended at the time of creation is also wrong. But hey maybe I'm just bad at art.
