Yelling at concrete

Episode 174 - The old Youtube.

Season 5, Ep. 174

That's right it's time for old man Graham to put on his shoes and socks and take a walk down memory lane for a big old grumble about the internet and social media and everything wrong with the platform whilst simultaneously still being on the platform.



This week I get nostalgic for old website, blogs, zines and everything in between as i attempt to explain the beauty of the old internet and how it encouraged us all comparative to the day we're in now where platforms such as youtube, facebook and instagram belittle our creations by hiding them behind pay walls for advertising.



Overall I encourage you to still be weird, still be odd and go write that blog no one will read because if you don't who will. Well probably someone else but it wont be yours will it!

  • 254. Episode 254 - Dollmation, Illustration and honest exploration Feat Warren Wright @Warrencito

    55:30
    This week I sit down with fantastic artist Warren Wright. I came across Warren whilst exploring my love of stop motion and was instantly taken with the playful nature of his work. Having been artistic and exploring different mediums for years Warren has been in illustration, cartoons and currently is getting critical acclaim for his film making with dollmations.So we sat down to talk artistic and personal journeys in one of the most open interviews I've had the pleasure of conducting in a long time as we talk, the past the future and everything in between.You should check out Warren's youtube  @74renren  and also follow his work on:https://www.instagram.com/warrencito/https://www.warrencito.com/Available also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete
  • 253. Episode 253 - Seven things you cant say on Youtube.

    44:26
    The internet is an odd place, as discussed recently with WTF Pots the length and breadth of what can get you in hot water with the powers that be of any platform is a real challenge for artists and not just in the modern era. In 1966 Lenny Bruce listed out nine words he'd been arrested for in 1972 George Carlin made a statement on his album Class Clown to follow it up with seven words you cant say on TV. So I thought I'd channel my inner stand up and change the format slightly and discuss all the things you cant discuss on Youtube without the watchful eye of the moderators taking a look. As we discuss not the topics themselves but the premise of what these items create you too can join us as we talk about how to get banned on Youtube.Here's hoping it doesn't get taken down.Available also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete
  • 252. Episode 252 - The impropriety of art AKA how to get banned on instagram Feat: WTFPots Sarah Sharp

    59:16
    .This week i sit down with purveyor of funny and filth Sarah Sharp. AKA WTFPots. Sarah is a self taught sculptor who is best known for portraying the weird and wonderfull human body in a sculpted fashion. Everything from prolapse anus's, mice in vaginas and penis bananas. There is no end to the wonderful things her mind can do with imagery and pottery. Recommended by a previous guest we catch up to talk the challenges of being an artist on social media especially when the work you make no longer fits the "Acceptable" terms and conditions of the platform. So quick come join us before Youtube bans us. Even though I marked this episode for adults only and gave you plenty of warning!You can find Sarah at:https://www.etsy.com/shop/wtfpotshttps://www.instagram.com/wtfpotshttps://www.facebook.com/WTFpotsAvailable also on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcrete
  • 251. Episode 251 - The fundamentals of creating.

    31:51
    The first fundamental of creating is "F*** your fundamentals" Or rather that the best way to create anything is to consider that your core values and what you're looking to get out of things is often different to someone else.So whether you're looking to understand the fundamentals of photography, Illustration, sculpture, baking, building, music or anything which requires some level of method and technique to complete My first suggestion is to simply just try and work with what you have and then build on top of your first fail.

As someone who fully utilizes visual language as a way of communicating and with a podcast which is based around encouraging discussion and communication it felt about the right time to sit down and catch up.In doing so this week we discuss just how little we know of one another despite both of us having a fairly solid online presence and how we've know each other through other people for years but are both very guarded with our own lives. In a world where people are living online and exposing every inch of their day it was great to catch up. Talk a little personally of the why we are as we are and see just what we could learn!You can find more of Sarah via :https://www.instagram.com/spadgerinahttps://spadgeuk.com/
  • 249. Episode 249 - You don't still watch cartoons do you?

    24:04
    Who watches cartoons? Should adults watch cartoons? Is it ok to enjoy cartoons? Mystery ain't it. It seems a generational divide more than anything where adults who play with lego, parents who play video games and people who enjoy oddity are setup to be knocked down when they meet people who are older.This week I wax lyrical on a topic of when i was questioned by an older woman in a lift and discuss how your interest in novelty doesn't define how good or bad you are at taking responsibility within your own life.
