Rob Nicholson returns to the podcast for the third time, and this episode is a proper catch-up on life, creativity, and everything in between. We talk about freelance anxiety in January, balancing creative work with family life, and how experience slowly replaces self-doubt. Rob shares stories from behind the camera — photographing festivals like Crossed Wires, working on emotional music videos, and collaborating with artists across Sheffield’s scene. The conversation drifts into wrestling nostalgia, modern content culture, AI in creative industries, travelling for music and food, and why helping other creatives find their voice has become such a big part of Rob’s work.-------------Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

We’re joined by Victor Amadeus Kenny to talk about building his vegan beard-grooming brand Captain Mustache from the ground up. Victor shares how a mix of DIY creativity, humour, and underground culture led him to create beard oils, waxes, apparel, and even novelty products like the mustache protector — turning personality into a sustainable business. We dive into branding, selling at events, travelling with products, staying independent, and how years in music, nightlife, and creative scenes shaped the way Captain Mustache exists today.-------------Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

Sheffield legend Shinobi joins us to talk about growing up in the city’s underground music scene — from sneaking into youth clubs and pirate radio, to selling thousands of DIY mixtapes recorded with socks over microphones. We dive into the rise of UK garage, grime, bassline and speed garage in Sheffield, the early days of Bluetooth sharing, under-18 raves, All Out Crew, and how tracks like Dirty Girl and the Clubs & Spades project shaped a generation locally. Shinobi opens up about being “famous in Sheffield but still working a 9–5,” the reality behind recognition, rivalry between crews, the emotional side of making honest music, and why community — not clout — kept the scene alive.-------------Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

We sit down with independent artist Sam Scherdel to talk about the moment everything changed — from uploading a casual TikTok that led to hundreds of thousands of streams, to quitting paid wedding gigs, going fully independent, and finally trusting his own songs. Sam opens up about how he built his sound, the long road from playing covers to selling out shows, recording across multiple studios, working with producers like Colin Elliott, and why TikTok has completely reshaped how music is discovered. We also get into his influences (from Joe Cocker and Bruce Springsteen to Nirvana), the pressure of success, and why he still prefers intimate, stripped-back gigs alongside big “wall of sound” shows.-------------Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.

We’re joined by Chunky T from the Utopia Project for a deep (and very funny) dive into creativity, music, art, and growing up bored in a small town. We talk about childhood therapy turning into creativity, early bands, terrible teenage lyrics, playing Seven Nation Army seven times in a living room, discovering Photoshop through LimeWire, pirated software, and why making anything is better than making nothing. We also get into Boston’s creative scene, missed musical opportunities, DVDs as cultural artefacts, AI invading films, and how learning lots of different skills eventually pays off.-------------Thanks for listening make sure you follow us on our socials.
