A Pint With Seaniebee

David Hayes began his ad career on October 4th 1982 and now runs the media company, Wavemaker in Dublin. One of Seaniebee's oldest pals, he sits down to discuss existentialism: from the future of the creative industries; to his own (following a recent brush with prostate cancer); and, in a table-turning-judo-move, quizzes Seaniebee on how he sees his own life working out going forward. The concept of “Stop Pedaling” and “Optimistic Nihilism” are also discussed.

Secondly, there are 3.6m truckers in the US (not 300k as Seaniebee dumbly pronounced). And thirdly, the Wright brothers first flew in 1903 (not “1906 or 1909” as Seaniebee lazily guessed).

The world lost one of its larger-than-life good guys on July 26th. Anthony Pavoni, was a tremendous raconteur; kind, soft-spoken and generous of spirit; and a guy you would have any day in the trenches with you fighting whatever good battle needed to be fought. Sincere condolences to his wife Jane, and daughters, Kelly and Tara. May he rest in peace.

Returning to the pod for the fourth time, our resident future-thinker, Richard Watson, arrives in fine fettle to guide us through the global mayhem that confronts us all at every turn these days. Richard is a thoughtful, questioning, truth seeking, self-obsessed, neurotic, contrarian writer that, due to luck more than anything else, has ended up being labelled a futurist (NB: correct term is futurologist). Most days he manages to make a good living telling people that everything will turn out OK despite the fact he's not sure himself sometimes. He enjoys thinking about artificial intelligence and what (if anything) makes us human and especially likes drawing ‘maps' that provoke conversation and debate. When he's not doing all this, he can normally be found gardening, trying to book flights to Greece, drinking wine, arguing with his lawn mower, smoking cigars, or pulling dead mice out of his old sports car (they're cute, but they eat the wiring, especially over winter). Oh yeah, and somehow, he has managed to get five books published and blagged his way into both the Technology Foresight Practice at Imperial College London and the Judge School at Cambridge. Not bad for someone that got a ‘B' in English language O-level and failed maths twice. Go figure. Two of his best books are Digital Vs Human (2017), and Future Files (2007).

HOW TO REACT TO ROE V WADE? The Don (aka, the activist Repeal O'Neill) unpacks last week's Supreme Court reversal of Roe V Wade and offers a unique perspective on how activists in the US might respond in kind. The fun continues with a dig down into the wider fragmentation of the US and society in general, and our continued doom-loop into a kind of psychotic tribalism. But never fear, there are some fun things towards the end, including a review of glorious Toulouse, Mick Lynch, Stewart Lee and speculation on when exactly (wo)man(tran) first decided to wipe her/his/their arses.

Having come close to reigniting the Balkan conflict with their last pod, The Don & Seaniebee return to pick over the detritus that is the world today and how best one can navigate it. They discuss why world governments appear terrified of driving critical legislation to curb capitalism's global emissions: instead preferring to persist with the usual puffery that all of us have to play a part at a micro level if we are to achieve climate goals. Four sample creative macro solutions are unveiled across aviation, agriculture, telephony and energy that could begin to move the world in the right direction but will likely never be tabled until it's too late (if ever). And, if it is becoming clear that we, a species, are going to collectively fail in our climate endeavours, what are the ethics of hypocrisy surrounding eating as many burgers and flying as often as you like in the meantime? Were the "good old days" pf the 70s and 80s really any better for kids or are we destroying them today with our own narcissistic selfishness, cosseted infantilization, borderline-abusive medicalization, and un-checked digitalization? And is it finally time to just abandon the USA for the utterly broken #shitholecountry it really is, following its latest repugnant response to the latest gun massacre of terrified schoolchildren in Texas? They also talk the sudden preponderance of Doireanns; the low-down on Frankfurt; more bollocks from Ryanair, the airline that wrecks everything; were Scrabble right to ban the “N” word and why our inbuilt penchant for hatred and conflict means it's likely that we'll never fully eradicate such words designed to belittle and demean other races and nationalities.

For the penultimate show of the year, your favourite podmongers return to discuss the recent emergence of the Omicron Variant that currently has the globe in a lather. They review a new documentary – The COVID Chronicles – by former guest, Donal O'Neill and ask why so many people around the world are taken in by conspiracy theories with regards to the pandemic and the often nefarious, ulterior motives behind the people promoting them. They also ponder whether base-line stupidity is what really drives the human race; what it would be like to actually work in the Gestapo; adult breastfeeding; and why Garth Brooks is an utter gobshite (and Ed Sheeran, isn't).

On the occasion of his 82nd birthday, Seoirse (George Boyle) joins the pod with his sidekick Gerald to share their adventure stories down the years. We discuss what it was like growing up in Dublin during the War and how his love for ventriloquism bloomed, as he made his fist dummies from papier-mâché and daub. Seoirse and Gerald represented Ireland and reached the final on The Original Gong Show with Ted Mack, and were the opening act when Ireland's TV station RTE launched in 1961. George dovetailed his ventriloquism with a successful career in engineering and shares his wisdom on the current state of the world and ideas on how we might get back on course.

What with the sentencing of the Irishmen responsible for the deaths of 39 Vietnamese immigrants; the appalling travesty of the Mother & Baby homes report; and the country's bumbling, greed-centric approach to COVID19 and vaccinations...the Don and Seaniebee ask whether there's ever been a worse time to be ashamed of being from Ireland.

We also discuss the racism endemic in football during the 1970s and 1980s and how the sport has changed down the years; the potentially debilitating consequences of the relentless march of unchecked technology; and how many creative University courses' preference for conformity tends to crush the creativity, free spirit and hunger in their students.

She talks openly about her battles with mental illness and her challenging, shocking and destigmatizing related artworks; her work to bring creativity and dignity to Romanian orphans; and the astonishing story of her befriending inmates on death row in Texas, which led to her attending an execution in Huntsville and a subsequent fight against the inhumanity of capital punishment. Carrie believes that creativity is what gives us our humanity and our sanity; in art as a form of therapy to deal with emotions and life-changes; the importance of empathy; and in using provocative, boundary-pushing, irreverent and often politically incorrect expressions to engender meaningful reaction, response and change. In 2017 she was appointed the first ever visual artist for Shakespeare's Birthplace Trust; and has also spent the last 21 years mosaicing the outside of her three story home in Chiswick.

The struggle for justice is an ongoing and necessary pursuit that should prevail over laws and institutions. III. One's body is inviolable, subject to one's own will alone. IV. The freedoms of others should be respected, including the freedom to offend. To willfully and unjustly encroach upon the freedoms of another is to forgo one's own. V. Beliefs should conform to one's best scientific understanding of the world. One should take care never to distort scientific facts to fit one's beliefs. VI. People are fallible. If one makes a mistake, one should do one's best to rectify it and resolve any harm that might have been caused. VII. Every tenet is a guiding principle designed to inspire nobility in action and thought. The spirit of compassion, wisdom, and justice should always prevail over the written or spoken word.

As they prepare to go off the booze for a month, The Don and Seaniebee discuss addictions: from alcohol to gambling to religion before introducing number 5 on her Top 20 Countdown. *************************************** Craig Smith has a pint with Seaniebee Probably the most candid, humble, philosophical and emotional episode to date; the pod with Craig Smith is a no holds barred descent into the madness of drug and alcohol addiction, suicidal thoughts and how to emerge stronger from such darkness. From almost being a professional footballer with Sheffield United and a soldier with the British Marines, Craig tells his amazing story of growing up in the class system, getting away to see the world, rising to become one of the world's great admen, only to see it all eventually unravel before his eyes. We learn a good rule of thumb is to never die on your own doorstep; why the journey is essentially one of finding your true self; and why your life is usually never as bad as your mind might be telling you it is. Craig is a man who has thrown his many regrets into the chasm of the past and really worked hard to come out much stronger and more vital. He approached this chat with a desire to be totally open about his difficult experiences in the hope that his learnings and experience may be helpful to others going through the same thing. Today Craig runs www.smithandko.com with his wife, and this spring they welcomed their first child – Scout Hana – into the world.

In the aftermath of the death of John Hume, The Don and Seaniebee attempt to explain the history of the Northern Ireland situation and why he mattered so much to the world. And there is an amazing interview from the archives with the head of one of New York's most violent crime gangs. **************************************** Antonio Fernandez (KING TONE) has a pint with Seaniebee This is an astonishing story of redemption and by far the most controversial and polarizing guest we've had on the show so far. Antonio Fernandez, aka KING TONE, is the former leader of The Latin Kings, the largest Hispanic street gang in the US, with over 50,000 members worldwide. Growing up in a Brooklyn ghetto, he left school at the age of 9 to become a drug dealer and begin a life of violent crime that eventually led to crack addiction and him being incarcerated whilst still in his teens. In Riker's Island he joined The Latin Kings, at the time a primarily prison-based gang that eventually transferred itself out onto the streets of New York, where they quickly became one of the most vicious and feared operations in the city. Antonio recounts how he set out to transform the gang away from crime and into a political movement, fighting for social justice for all Hispanics. A disbelieving NYPD called him ‘a gangster with a PR campaign', and so began a long running feud with Mayor Rudolph Giuliani that ended with King Tone being put away for 13 years. In addition to his extraordinary story, we discuss how Donald Trump might feasibly be leading America towards another civil war, and how it is now time for all marginalized groups to come together and ACT to combat the growing divisiveness across the country.

Born in Dublin into a Quaker family, he shares the history and tenets of his faith within a wider discussion on religion. We also ponder whither capitalism through the micro-lens of Ireland's current problems; why we perhaps should look to Scandinavia for pragmatic solutions to rising inequality; and how the world would be a much better place if we all live by one simple word: Kindness.

The Don continues her countdown (at 46m) with Kieran McGowan - a true gent, and one of the fathers of Ireland's economic development boom over the last 50 years. We also discuss the latest from the thought police, cancel culture and identity politics; the death of Big Jack; the arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell; the hot mess that is the Kanye presidential bid and why many Irish Americans are hijacking the old country to promote their inherently racist ideology. ------------------------------------------------------ Kieran McGowan has a Pint With Seaniebee Today's pod is the story of how Ireland emerged from sleepy agricultural backwater, to the modern, first world nation it is today. For over three decades, Kieran McGowan was one of the architects of this transition in his position as head of the IDA – the body responsible for attracting overseas investment and bringing jobs to the country. From humble, working class beginnings, he shares what it was like growing up in Dublin in the fifties and sixties; the corruption and graft that so blighted the seventies and eighties; and the subsequent boom and bust of the “Celtic Tiger.” We discuss lessons learnt (and not!) and what can be done to fix today's Ireland, which appears bereft of creativity and perhaps mired more than ever in procrastination and political inaction across so many important socio-economic issues.

Following his inclusion last time at number 10 in The Don's Top 20 Countdown, and due to popular demand, the futurist, Richard Watson returns to give us his take on the pandemic and how the world might change as many economies take their first tentative steps in opening up. We speculate on everything from Black Swan events like God or aliens appearing and more practical things like the BLM movement as a potential antidote to identity politics; continued erosion of privacy; curing blindness and whether it's actually even worth fretting over things anymore in this increasingly crazy world.

With all the mayhem in the world today, it's interesting to go back two years to listen to the thoughts of a futurist back then and how he saw things unfolding. In the intro, The Don and Seaniebee also discuss how one might procure a lock of Donald Trump's hair in order to make a voodoo doll...plus: the magic of Pennys; why the left is continuing to disappear up its own arse; and how the far right have been gifted Harry Potter in the latest advancement of the identity politics wars. ********************************* RICHARD WATSON HAS A PINT WITH SEANIEBEE Were there ever any ‘good old days'?

With COVID19 continuing its federally down-played rampage, and two days after the horrific George Floyd murder, the wheels continue to fall off the clown car that is Donald Trump's America. Seaniebee and The Don take off the gloves to call out the relative ambivalence, inaction and lack of urgency that seems to permeate those educated Americans who appear content to continue sleep-walking their way to four more years of the current regime. There follows a pertinent interview with Cheryl Sharp, who was sounding the warning bells four years ago, prior to Trump being elected. ************************************ Attorney Cheryl Sharp - the Deputy Director of The State of Connecticut Commission on Human Rights and Opportunities – joins the podcast today to discuss all that ails America: how Donald Trump is providing permission and voice to racism; why we should retire the ‘N'-word; the debate on guns and cop-killings; why Seaniebee cannot continue to blindly hire women; and why being a civil servant doesn't necessarily have to be a dead-end job bereft of creativity. ************************************** Release date: May 30th 2020 Runtime: 71m Recorded: Dublin (Cheshire, Connecticut)

The first non-face-to-face episode ever (and boy can you tell): The Don and Seaniebee talk their new movie script - Paddy Kavanagh Ha Ha Ha - and she introduces the wonderfully wise Tadhg O'Donoghue who grew up on a remote Irish island off the coast of Ireland in the middle of the last Century. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * TADHG O'DONOGHUE HAS A PINT WITH SEANIEBEE For the final podcast of 2016, we get a fascinating insight into what it was like to grow up in Ireland in the middle of the last century. Tadgh O'Donoghue was raised on Valentia Island in the Kingdom of Kerry; graduated from UCD, and eventually became a partner in PWC where he played a pivotal role in attracting foreign investment into the country. Like most Kerrymen, he is a Gaelic football fanatic and tells us all about the most popular sport in Ireland. We also discuss the future of capitalism and the factors that lead to economic crashes, the rise of Trump, inequality, and the current populist dissention that is spreading across our world.

THE DON: There's nowt as quare as folk. A perfect antidote to the boredom we're all experiencing and an exercise in being able to entertain dissenting voices, even if they dissent from your own. Keep asking questions though, even of the questioners. *********************************************************** Gaia Mother Sofia has a pint with Seaniebee (Interview begins @22mins) In 2014, Sofia Hayat received a divine calling, revealing to her that she was the combined incarnation of The Virgin Mary, The Goddess Isis and The Goddess Sophia. The Indian born, former model and actress, turned her back on a glamorous career, became a nun, and changed her name to Gaia Mother Sofia. Sacred information received from angelic realms (through ayahuasca ceremonies) bestowed upon her gifts of telepathy, clairvoyance, healing, communication with the dead, and space travel through time. She believes mankind has evolved to a robotic state of amnesia, with the earth raising her vibration as a result. Her prophesy reveals the coming fifth dimension and awakening of humanity through a tumultuous, visible and unequivocal supernatural event scheduled to happen next month, around the Christian Easter period and preceded by her giving birth to ‘unconditional love' on April 4th 2017. We discuss the relationship with Catholic Marian apparitions (such as those at Garabandal); how The Vatican is withholding information on the fate of humanity; links to the Nag Hammadi texts; the recent decline and suppression of the illuminati and reptilian entities (led by Queen Elizabeth); and the role the Egyptian pyramids play as cosmic timekeepers. Her sacred knowledge also maintains that Donald Trump may actually have been sent to save the world; that ISIL/ISIS/Daesh and terrorist attacks are all faked; and how incarnations of Jesus Christ and many of the ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses are all living here with us on earth today.

Right now is a good time to be thinking of the meaning of life.

He has been at police gunpoint twice since, for no other reason than the color of his skin. Today, he spends a lot of his time intelligently and powerfully advocating against America's still-deeply-ingrained racism; promoting Black Lives Matter and railing against the continued senseless killing of blacks by law enforcement officials. Recorded prior to this week that saw two more slayings in Minnesota and Louisiana, and culminated in the murder of five police officers in Dallas; we discuss the way race relations is getting worse and examine what needs to be done to fix implicit racial bias in the country. Dave is also a former money trader who chucked a high-powered job to set up a theatre company and pursue acting and creative writing. He currently works in PR and is a member of The Institute of Hermetic Philosophy. Set up 50 years ago by Chilean philosopher, Dario Salas Sommer, it is an educational program that believes in promoting the power of consciousness in today's society. Throughout our lives we are programmed and conditioned to believe certain things which tend to cloud our interpretation of reality. Becoming ‘more conscious' involves removing all this coagulated mental ‘gunk'; experiencing life and nature with a greater sense of truth and self-awareness; and eventually finding what it is you're supposed to be doing with your life. “The Stellar Man” that changed Dave's life is here on amazon: tinyurl.com/gqswta6 And here's the website for The Institute: www.ihpusa.org/ *************************************************** Release date: April 15th 2020 Runtime: 85m Recorded: Dublin (New York)

The world lost a legend last week. A man who, in his own words, was oscillating on a different frequency. Pete Dunne was an artist, singer, storyteller and raconteur. He decided to hitchhike from London to Afghanistan in 1977, and spent ten years as a Celtic Sadhu wandering Indian Himalayas, allowing the universe to provide for him, which it always did. Pete was a kind man. A kindred spirit, but so much braver than I could ever be. I only met him in the last two years of his life. But I am honoured to have known him. Pete got married to his beloved, Gilly Kelly Dunne the week before he died. My heart and love goes out to her and all those who cherished him. ALSO IN THIS EPISODE: The Don and Seaniebee share tips and advice on how to reduce anxiety and protect your mental health during the ongoing pandemic lockdown.

Writer and "craictivist", The Don continues her top 20 picks from the first 144 episodes of A Pint With Seaniebee. (A perfect starting point for first-time listeners to the series). THE DON: Kind and fearless, Šejla used her art to navigate herself through the dreadful atrocities of the Bosnian War. ************************************** Šejla Kamerić has a pint with Seaniebee One of Europe's foremost visual artists joins the pod to share her life journey. Born and raised in Sarajevo, art has been a central part of Šejla's life since childhood. An introvert, she used her work to communicate and share the loss, horror, sadness and personal tragedy of the war, as Yugoslavia fractured and split around her. Often controversial, we discuss the motivation behind many of her works including the famous “Bosnian Girl” (2003) tinyurl.com/z2wna33 and the ambitious “From One, Learn All” (2015) tinyurl.com/jbotsgs – a forensically-driven memorial to Bosnia's wartime lost and missing. We also discuss the importance of struggle in the creative process; the role of art in changing behavior and attitudes; and why looking at life in the simplest terms possible, may be the secret to surviving today's rather pessimistic world.

After a spell in the steel mills, he studied Russian history before deciding to set off and see the world at the tender age of 21. A brave and adventurous circumnavigation followed, including a journey across Russia on the Trans-Siberia Railway; a fascinating number of years spent teaching remote Neolithic tribes in the mountains of Papua New Guinea; jumping freighters to Hong Kong and arriving in Laos during the civil war. We also discuss the differences between Australia and Canada and why the latter is doing so much better than America right now, across so many important criteria. On his return to Canada, he joined the ad agency JWT, where he spent over 30 years rising to the top as Chairman. Ten years ago, he established BrandAid Project – a business focused on bringing best marketing and design practice to small artisan producers in developing countries. Now named BrandTrade, they have done much work in Haiti, and more recently Peru where they brand and match small producers with resellers and are at the leading edge of the new, technology-led, ‘microtrade marketing'.

Born into an Irish farming family, Jean began her career as a photojournalist, with her work quickly gaining traction in both the national and international press. In her twenties, she sojourned to Africa, producing stunning assignments in both Ghana and Kenya. Two years ago, she bravely embedded herself with the coalition armies in Afghanistan in search of a long-lost, hand-painted, photography technique unique to the country. Her next project brought her to the Comoros Islands and she shares the fascinating culture that has developed there. Working in so many different Muslim countries, she unveils a very different side to Islam than the one most prevalent in our current news headlines. Most recently, she has based herself in London working as one of the only practicing masters in the declining art of dye transfer. Jean is an inspiration to anyone who has a dream or an ambitious idea and explains how single-minded determination, faith, trust and bravery can always make amazing things happen.

We also examine the middle east, Dubai and the extraordinary vision of the Maktoum family; the current ‘Islamic issues' that trouble the world and the ‘iron-fist' dictatorship-democracies of Erdoğan's Turkey and the Philippines under Duterte.

(A perfect starting point for those who want to start exploring the series). THE DON: Laura's interview should be listened to by men to gain valuable insight into some of the things that are difficult for women in the workplace; but also female listeners need to ask themselves which career-woman they are: "do you hold the ladder for women coming up behind you, or do you pull it up after you?" ******************************************** Laura Jordan-Bambach has a pint with Seaniebee Former head of The D&AD, and labeled a “Digital female icon” by The Guardian, Laura Jordan-Bambach's legacy is likely to be less about titles and more about her drive to effect change by DOING, rather than just talking about it. Apart from founding Mr President, one of the UK's most progressive advertising agencies, Laura has also spent most of her life fighting for women in the notoriously patriarchal and misogynistic ad industry. In 2007, she helped set up the SheSays mentoring programme (now 40,000 strong and about to launch in Afghanistan), that encourages women to pursue careers in advertising and design. She is also a founder of the "Cannt Festival", a more practical and grounded version of Cannes. We talk Gillette, Petersen, the current state of feminism and ideas on how we might get out of this looming Climate Catastrophe, which current predictions suggest may be upon us by the end of the next decade.

The podcast turns 4 years old today and to celebrate, Seaniebee and The Don hack through the search for truth: how hard it is to find these days and how we need to start accepting that none of the ancient texts of the major Abrahamic religions will ever provide us with the answer. As the relevance and plausibility of faith continues to dissipate, perhaps it is time for the world to collectively create “Religion 4.0” – a new belief system predicated around the stored knowledge and realities of being a human in the 21st Century.

It's Time for a New Kind of Advertising Agency Dave Dye has just launched a new ad agency in London – Love or Fear – focused on a return to common sense and emotionally big ideas when it comes to selling stuff. Having worked for many of the best agencies in the world, he and his team have set about attempting to answer the million-dollar question: how do you run an agency if you aspire to do really great work? He also shares the results of a fascinating, 6-week experiment he did with the chalkboards outside his local delicatessen, where he endeavoured to apply his thirty years experience to see if he could increase their sales of fine foods and other cheesy comestibles.

“They were saying ‘certain stories shouldn't be told'…that was the reason they wanted it to be removed…like a quarter of a million people…there was one festival in the UK, they got so much hate mail, people saying they were going to boycott the festival if they were going to show the film, they ended up dropping it.” Filmmaker Vincent Lambe was the centre of much controversy earlier this year, when his short film – Detainment - was nominated for an Oscar. The movie charts the immediate aftermath of the arrest of two young boys charged with, and subsequently found guilty of, the 1993 murder of a two-year-old toddler named Jamie Bulger in Liverpool. The case was so disturbing it left a nation floundering for answers that never really came, and it remains a raw wound to the degree that a film such as this can cause the visceral backlash it did with many believing it should never have been made, not to mind being accepted into the Oscars. Vincent came under huge criticism for not engaging with Jamie Bulger's mother prior to making the film. The tabloid media eviscerated him and his film (including spreading many mistruths about its content), and more mainstream journalists found themselves gagged by editors when it came to reviews and any attempts to divorce content from hysteria. Detainment is a powerful work that is difficult to watch, and raises many questions about what constitutes responsible film-making around such sensitive subjects.

From humble farming beginnings, Roger Burton's career took him from selling antiques and clothes at Leicester Market, to one of the leading voices on the UK fashion scene. He had a huge role in the styling of early MTV videos and movies like Quadrophenia and Hackers, and is also the driving force behind the restoration of The Horse Hospital complex in Central London, where his huge clothes archive is currently housed. We discuss why Levis 501s are still one of the world's great icons and why fashion today is generally so blancmange and utterly lacking in shock, attitude or rebellion.
