Hello and welcome to episode 3 of Homer's Podyssey: Conversations on Purpose. I hope that you are all keeping well?
In this third instalment of our first run of the podcast, I speak to my good friend Shane Speed, also known as Sea of Days.
For those of you familiar Homer's Podyssey, (as well as the Bridge Brothers shows), you will already know Shane's music with tracks such as City Shroud, Darkness and Duality all featuring in these productions. If this is your first time listening to one of my podcasts, you are in for an absolute treat and I am confident that you will be adding Sea of Days to your playlists and record collections very soon!
A bit of background...
After some early experiences in bands and a solo project under his own name, 2022 was the year that Shane went into the recording studio and re-emerged as Sea of Days with his beautiful album Adrift. 2023 then saw the release of the Water EP, the first of a collection of short albums which explore themes inspired by the four elements. Shane’s creative ascent continued after this with the release of his acclaimed album Wound and his radio show Seasons Change.
In fact, since we recorded this episode back in December 2025, Shane has released Traces, another fantastic LP, which we did talk about in this interview.
Amongst the subjects covered in this interview, Shane and I discussed his ongoing support for other artists, (including me), his life-long passion for music, his creative processes as well as the incredible opportunities that opened up for him after \"sending one email\" to the owner of a radio station in the US. We also spoke about Shane's approach to life after a significant health scare and how this experience became a creative catalyst for him going forward.
