LATEST EPISODE 🔗

Love, self-acceptance, creativity and learning to give yourself time. This week I’m trying to make sense of love — loving yourself, loving other people without abandoning your boundaries, and that bigger sense of connection we sometimes find through creativity, nature and spirituality. I also talk …

This week I’m joined by local filmmaker Callum Smith for the first guest episode of The Chaplin Sessions. Callum is the writer and director (& more) of the short film Restless Mind, and we talk about what it actually takes to turn an idea into a finished film without a huge budget, a production…

White Rabbit.

This week I talk about starting something that scares me, struggling with social media, forgetting my phone, missing the slower world we used to live in, and somehow ending up on AI. I occasionally use AI myself — which makes this slightly ironic — but I draw a hard line around creativity. For me, …
This week I’m talking about loneliness — and the strange ways we can accidentally build it around ourselves. I’m very good at being alone. I’m also very good at seeing a problem and immediately trying to fix it rather than stopping to ask what it’s actually doing to me. Recently, those two things c…
This week’s episode is a prerecorded one — because sometimes life gets busy, sometimes you have a rough week, and sometimes the dentist leaves half your face numb. I’m talking about Slipknot, how I went from not understanding them at all to becoming completely hooked, and why certain bands end up b…

This week I’m thinking about the small things that can change everything — fate, James Cameron being an absolute lunatic, my auntie’s permanently unlocked front door. Explore kindness, cheap Slipknot records and somehow, Assassin’s Creed: Blac…
I tried to make a podcast about getting out of my own way. Somehow we ended up with Sisyphus, Spider-Man, a shoplifter with half a grand's worth of Lego, the mysterious history of a Morrisons bag and a potentially magnificent diorama in somebody's loft. Somewhere amongst all that, there's a convers…
How to know when you are the problem | Sour Grapes & Warm Milk What happens when life hands you a bad hand versus when you sabotage yourself? This week, I’m breaking down a personal analogy: Sour Grapes: The painful, random events outside our control. The key is how we respond without letting f…
This week I speak about the great Led Zeppelin and the beast of a song: When the Levee Breaks. I learn't a bit about this track when doing my research for this episode. Its history spanning almost a hundred years. Turning to the personal... What happens when our levee breaks? and is there a way to …
A chill spot, a place to check in and put the bags of life down. Candid conversations on life, philosophy, mental health, and whatever strikes a chord this week. Who the f!#k is Chaplin? This isn't a slick podcast production. This is just a microphone turned on live on the floor of our combined pri…
