This week, Stu Whiffen, the man of many jobs, chats with Jordan Rizzieri about his life and career.

Stu kicks us off with a discuss about how music was always important to him (1:38 ), and how his father's relationship with work inspired him as he got older (2:44 ). His parents did encourage him to get a qualification so he had something to fall back on (7:29 ).

He goes on to explain how he "stumbled" into his career path by way of the college he attended to study mechanics (10:18 ). Eventually, he found his way into club promotion, doing it the "DIY way" (14:21 ). When it comes to promotion, whether it's a club night or promoting his own band, Stu points to an ability to talk to people and be confident that helped make him a success (17:07 ).

If you're looking for the first name drop, it comes at (19:26 ), before Stu goes on to discuss his second band and his complicated relationship with joy (21:21 ).  Eventually, he found himself managing the nightclub, The Pink Toothbrush (24:00 ), and promoting at other club nights including with our mutual friend Scroobius Pip [name drop number 2 ] (26:12 ). He puts the blame squarely on Pip for getting him into podcasting as well (28:50 ).

If you're wondering where Jordan and Stu's paths crossed, it was doing the podcasting magazine PodBible (33:12 ). Finally, St shares what he hopes any listener takes away from his weird and wonderful story (38:05 ).
