  • Music & catharsis with Joshua Luke Smith
    Jul 28 2021

    On this episode of the London Music Podcast, I talk to Joshua Luke Smith, a complex musical artist who describes himself as a 'poet for the people', a vocalist and producer blending rap, R&B and soul. He has been featured on BBC Radio 1Xtra, and collaborated with artists like Oddisee and Jake Isaac. As Smith himself says, his music is made to “speak into the chaos” of the modern world, distilling his own experience of grief and trauma into something anyone can relate to. We talk about the relationship between music and the Universe, music as catharsis, grief, the nature of poetry, and many other fascinating topics.

  • Why do we keep making music?
    May 26 2021

    On this unusual episode of the London Music Podcast, I talk about my thoughts on why we should keep making music despite the massive number of songs released every single day. It would take us around 107 years to listen to everything on Spotify, so if we stand no chance of listening to everything already released, why are we still making music?

  • Past and future with Good Dog
    May 12 2021

    On this episode of the London Music Podcast, I talk to Good Dog, also known as Jack Hardman. Starting life as a 21 year old Radio 1 tipped singer, the death of his father changed the direction of his life and his music. With a new perspective on the world, writing offered a way to look inwards - a way to visit the past and dream of the future: Good Dog is your forgotten memories on a lonely sea under a warm sun. We talk about his overall approach to music-making, his propensity to use real instruments, visual aesthetics, and his recent No. 1 single on the iTunes singer-songwriter chart.
