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.

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.
