NOTHING IMPORTANT HAPPENED TODAY with WILL CARVER

A painting in a Chicago art gallery once saved Bill Murray's life. Usain Bolt once ran a distance of 100m faster than any human has in the history of the Earth. And Stephen Bartlett once drank a couple of glasses of wine that wiped out half of his week and almost ruined his life. But the real issue here is that we are getting so bogged down with staying alive for as long as we can that we have forgotten to live in the moments we have. This week, Will talks about how drinking and screwing up can be beneficial to the soul, even if you forget to add a spoonful of creatine to your breakfast protein shake.

Something a little different this week as Will links up with former co-host SJ Watson for a special episode of Let's Get Lit where they interview musician Kristin Hersh about what it is to live a creative life.They share a drink whilst talking about the trials of the music industry machine, taking your kids on the road, and being shot at.

'Everything that is wrong in your life is your fault.' Some more strong and positive words of encouragement to help you get happy from your favourite writer, thinker and whisky drinker, Will Carver. This week, Will looks at a study that suggests the unhappiest time in a person's life is when they hit the grand old age of 47, and why this is a warning sign for author Anna Bailey and laughable for world champion rower...Anna Bailey.He also got around to reading The Alchemist, after having it sit on a shelf for two decades.

The Boston Red Sox baseball team, the resurrection of Christ, and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction. This week, Will is talking about making a comeback. Everyone loves a good Cinderella story but how are we going to make a comeback in the future if we are not making an impact in the present? How can we succeed if we are not being allowed to fail?

Will is back! And he's bored of the attention that people are getting for living in the extremes of opinion.He's been away doing some things he can't talk about, while thinking about bean soup, dead friends, and how we can all make a little difference to the world by realising that it's not all about us. Oh, and here is a video of a bean soup recipe: https://tinyurl.com/436caywb

The importance of the words we use, the latest season of Married at First Sight UK, and how to manifest your destiny. Subjects that shouldn't really go together but that's why you come to this podcast. Throw in some Jim Carrey, trauma, and equal pay, and you've got just another episode of Nothing Important Happened Today, the podcast that thinks the little things are worth thinking about.

He's back!And he's been thinking about stuff. In the first episode of a new season, Will talks about stupidity. He considers the best way to gain a following and build an audience, and whether it's really worth it to lean to one side or be controversial for the sake of it. How do we get from the place we are at now, to the place that we really want to be?And why are smart people are so annoyingly stupid?

It's award season in the book world and Will has one he would like to give out to a book reviewer.This episode, thoughts turn towards political correctness and context. Who are the guardians of morality? When is the right time to discuss tough subjects? How can we use comedy to make a serious point? And why is there not a wanky writers' association?
