  • Why is there so much content on your socials?

    People ask me why there is so much varied content on my instagram and on my YouTube channel.  Is it some kind of tactic like the president (?) of the US’s decision to flood the zone with spectacle and controversy?  Am I trying to win back a woman who has spurned me?

    No and no.  I am not trying to flood the zone with anything.  I am trying to keep up with the backlog of projects that I have procrastinated on for years and I am also giving only one woman the chance to spurn me.  Thank the universe, she doesn’t.

    As you can see I am deep into two pods.  Both of which attack politics from different angles.  Don’t worry.  I am still making music. Come get that too.

    Pod 1: The Mint Republic

    This is with a co-host, the content creator Daisie Jae, who is a bit of a powerhouse in terms of getting things done.  The Mint Republic has interesting conversations with artists, activists and all kinds of interesting people trying to set the world to rights.  You can check out the podcast below.

    Early days with this project but I’ve been excited to meet some great people through it already.

    Pod 2 Black in The City of London

    This one is getting deep into it now.  Lot’s of people following on socials.  Ten episodes or so out there.  Had a few scraped with the racist, jingoist history deniers, which means that, at least, we are on their radar making them uncomfortable. This is a history podcast rooted in London, telling stories about the black and brown presence in London’s history and the details of how colonialism and enslavement helped shape the capital.
