She discusses the need for talent management in the creative world, working with the Russo brothers, and the importance of knowing your worth. In Smack My Pitch Up, the lads go a bit dark, and pitch Megan ideas on how to mourn the death of a good idea, a witty way to write obituaries, and a unique way to extend the life of aging creatives.    Find out more about the side project community @thesideprojectdublin or www.thesideproject.org   Creds:   Produced & edited by Ciara Walsh Music by Tim O'Donoghue Hosted by Sam Moorhead & Caomhán Connolly Guest: Megan Campbell

The lads pitch Peter a new tagline, and ask his advice on some playwriting of their own. Including a boozy modern take on a GB Shaw classic, a new way to view the Nighlink, and a play about the aftermath of a RomCom.  Find out more about the side project community @thesideprojectdublin or www.thesideproject.org Creds: Produced & edited by Ciara Walsh Music by Tim O'Donoghue Hosted by Sam Moorhead & Caomhán  Connolly Guest: Peter McGann

She talks about her sweet Instagame, working out to Maniac 2000 and pestering family members for favours.  Sam pitches the future of Saturday night protein consumption which Caomhán “hates”.

Plus, Julie helps the guys figure out tactics for getting people to their future events.    Find out more about the side project community @thesideprojectdublin or www.thesideproject.org   Creds:   Produced & edited by Ciara Walsh Music by Tim O'Donoghue Hosted by Sam Moorhead & Caomhán Connolly Guest: Julie Blakeney

**Episode One – Dave Coffey/Phoning it in** In the lads' first outing in the HeadStuff studio, they're joined by Dave Coffey. The creator of Dan & Becs, Sarah & Steve, and the hilarious podcast, Phoning it in.  Dave talks about the wrestling sitcom that was devastatingly shelved, his cliched meetings with L.A execs, plus how he stays motivated to record a weekly podcast. Sam pitches some ideas for shows, which includes a new take on the Rose of Tralee. Caomhán finds a project that’s all about bad ideas. And the guys bring it home with a discussion on how to get people to your events, and get the word out there.

Sam & Caomhán want everyone to have a side project. But they know it’s bloody tough. That's why they've created this podcast to help inspire and motivate everybody – plus themselves – to pursue their passion in their spare time. In each episode, the lads chat with side project aficionados, highlight deadly projects, pitch some questionable ideas, and give an insight into the hurdles they face with their own side projects.
