This week I sit down with myself and do something I dislike. Document my work.I've always said social media and content creation is coursework for creatives. It relies on un stunting our own exploration for the sake of having an audience present when we eventually release something. So this week I sit down to discuss that struggle and maybe find advice in the comments as to how to document your creative process and how not to.

This week I sit down with Tricia Duffy. Creator, teacher, writer, singer and host of her own podcast "in ten years time". Tricia found me in this instance and we decided to sit down and talk many topic but notably the impact of the creative process on mental state and its value to cognitive health. Tricia like myself involves herself in many things and in doing so is completing a PHD on the topic of creative practice and how it can be a benefit to your physical well being in many way which are often overlooked. We share that view of how to tackle a society built for money is often as well to simply create accessible opportunities so it was great to sit down and get to know her and her passions and discuss just how one practice folds into another.

This week I sit down to talk a personal gripe. Often on social media i follow artists and once in a while I see a comment or post like "Why aren't people engaging with my work?" "Why do they like that and not mine?" "Audiences just don't understand my stuff". And it irritates me as they seem to have forgotten, you're audience doesn't owe you their attention online. They have lives and other interests and its up to you to make something which breaks that mold for them.So this week lets talk marketing. Responsible art creation, audience engagement and most of all how to just make things for yourself.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

This week I sit down to talk grief, navigating change and how big moments can sometimes seem like they need a quick fix or a method you have used 100 times but grief is different. It comes in waves and can be like navigating the remnants of a broken building. It takes time to find the foundation again. If you're going through it right now or planning on making bigger changes in your life remember to be patient with yourself and make the measure of progress simply that you're keeping going to begin with.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

This week on the podcast:Graham and his brother Martyn from  @AlternativeAdventures  sit down to discuss the volatile statement that creators should focus more on Curation over Creation. in a relaxed fit episode unedited for conversation betterment the pair discuss the need to focus on curating your online output and discuss early 00's web blogs, lifestyle icons, and how brands such as Vans monopolise on being able to push a "vibe" rather than a "shoe".Martyn's big want is for creators to think less about what they post and showing of their own work but more their personalities and how building a community can be more "publicity" essential than making the "perfect post".The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

This week I sit down with artist Marty Gordon, Collage and cartoonist and overall interesting artist! Marty was recommended to me by other people which is apt for the topic of the show but also as he has a fascinating background as a former minister and a strong love of community for art which of course fits very well with this show!As such as sat down this week to talk about the challenges as an artist on topics such as finding the right moments to create, storing work, keeping in the scene and how certain spaces can vary in the level of support provided to you before after and during a show. We are both huge believers in lifting up other artists and creating actual connections rather than adding someone to a follow list and as such it was a pleasure to be able to talk through that landscape of thought with Marty.
