I’m raising the first national and international conversation to explore courage and curiosity and why it makes a big difference to our mental, societal and democratic health. Scroll down for all episodes. I’m grateful to all of my guests for taking part and to share my reviews below.

I talk to award-winning, diverse, national and international artists about the role of courage and curiosity in their lives. What do these qualities really mean and why do they matter to our mental, societal and democratic health?

Can the Arts change the global epidemic of mental illness, loneliness, the polarization of our communities and global conflict? My dedicated website has news, videos and interview transcriptions at:  www.canartsaveus.com

Be inspired, we talk hip-hop poetry, Islamic architecture building peace, tap dance in protest, surrealism and WWII, life as a drag King, war, displacement and Syrian music, the Art School for the Homeless, the 1970s West Indian Front Room, inclusive dance and wheelchair acrobatics, British-Pakistani, Black-British, Jewish, and Irish spoken word artists, giant talking ceramics, film and end of life, graffiti art and Muslim faith, shamanic storytelling, a Cameroonian clay addict, a world leading sculptor and icons of Justice, voices of Windrush in arts activism, prison art, Chilean, Indonesian, Ugandan art, nuns and number one albums, and much, much more. I hope you'll join us!
