Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.Now looking at the title of this episode you would be forgiven for thinking that there's not a lot of mileage in this one. But you are underestimating my talent for getting emotional dramatic content out of being in Linda the camper van. I did that this time by putting the wrong fricking fuel in her, getting my long awaited trip to Vietnam off to an absolute bastard of a start. I'd like to think I then turned my moaninng into stoic, pragmatic gold. Or at least tin.Enjoy the musings....Nico Van DieselStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.Alice Lowe is possibly the most fruitful creative person I know. In fact, when I went to her house, even her actual fruit bowl contained turnips, bananas, peppers, a pomegranate and much much more. I think that image kind of works as a very strong analogy for her output. As the reigning indie queen of UK cinema Alice has already delivered three cult classics with Sightseers, Prevenge and last years Timestalker, and in my opinion she is only just getting going.This chat is part 2 of a recording I did when I visited her near Stroud in my camper van Linda. This weeks chat is more about Alices career and our shared (and differing) experiences as UK writers in and around the world of comedy and the arts.It's a fantastic conversation that any budding or (struggling) creative will benefit from. There is a section of the conversation that is a little compromised by a zip or a button tapping Alices mic that I could not get rid of as it's woven into her words. So sorry about that, but I still think its v listenable, and Alices wisdom and wit will see us all through.EnjoyyyyStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.This is the morning after the last one, in which I failed at being at a carvery near Stroud. Here I wake up and am all pleased with myself for sleeping in me van in a shit car park, before going off for a lovely chat with film-maker and personal hero Alice Lowe.Part 2 of this will drop next week and is chat is a full 90 mins of talk about Alices career, cinema, surviving as a creative and the business of writing what you want to say.Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.A couple of weeks back I took my darling Linda the camper van on another rain-sodden jaunt. This time in the direction of Cardiff, where I was to stay a couple of nights with my good pal Conor, before using 'Search For Sites' again to find somewhere to get my head down on the way back. First I headed to Porthcawl for a little admin errand that brought a very sweet surprise with it. At the end of the episode I am poised to go and visit Alice Lowe to record the episode that will follow this one. It wasn't my best stopover choice but making underwhelming choices is all part of the journey and always gives something for you lot to laugh at me about. In this case, a very disappointing carvery failure.Am looking forward to the nights getting lighter and will soon be putting more Vanventures in the diary so please feel free to suggest stop-offs and places for me and Linda to visit. You might even end up on the podcast.Beep Beep!Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.Hey you lovelies,Am wearing my Music Dad hat this week to introduce you to Mookie, a fabulously confident young lady from the Brighton burgeoning music scene who is about to release her third single. Mookie is one of several new acts I regularly see playing around town who are very accomplished even though they are still babies (to me) coming through the music college system. It's a brilliant, inspiring little community, and it makes it a lot easier putting live music nights on when there are so many quality local acts out there earning their performing stripes who want to come and play and who also indulge my old ass when I am singing on the same bill.We had a lovely chat here where I live vicariously by asking all about what it's like going to Waterbear college to learn to be an independent artist.I think you can hear the envy dripping off me. Mookie also does three gorgeous acoustic tunes at the end so stay tuned.Her single 'Murmuring' is out on 21st February 2025, with a fancy video! And she has a fab pre-release gig at The Folklore Rooms in Brighton on Monday 17th.You can find her music on Spotify where she is called MookieCheck her out @mookiesmusic on Instagram for much more infoEnjoyyyyy the episode!Music Dadx-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.Here is the third part of my trip to Manchester and back in Linda the Camper Van. It's a Freezing January Monday late aftertnoon on the M1 and I am very tempted to stay in a fancy BnB and do some laptoppin'. But then I remember what I am supposed to be doing. I'm supposed to be using my van to break up journeys. I'm supposed to be being more adventurous. And so I end up making friends with some pigs in the dark. This yanks my mind open and makes me connect with the true value of planless, aimless, travelling....just to see where it leads to....I can only hope you enjoy the ramblings of a middle aged man under the moonlight in an empty car parkXNico Van DieselStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.Here is stage 2 of my mid January trip North in Linda. Having slept at a pub in Bedford I headed north to visit family. Would I maintain my rogueish vanlife legend status there or go and have a shower in a Premier Inn and then go and kip at my mums because she thinks I've gone weird. Only the open road and my mum can decide.EnjoyyyyyNico Van DieselStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.This episode marks the start of my concerted effort to use Linda the camper van in a more adventurous way when I am bobbing around the country. I thought I wouldn't be feeling the call of the road at least til the Daffodils are up but after feeling poorly and getting cabin fever, I thought I'd brave a pub car park stopover to break up my recent trip home to Manchester. Being mid January it was bloody freezing and Linda does not have heating yet, but I wanted to experience a winter over-nighter to see whether it was bearable.Have a listen and see how I got on......This particular trip lasted a few days and I have squeezed a couple more episodes of navel gazing and following my nose out of it.

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.This episode features meself and Flavour Fred, my wild food pal and collaborater from our forthcoming project The Wild Lunch Podcast, going for a New Year walk up at Devils Dike above Hove. It was a snowy very crisp day and the sloshy snowy paths made it quite an aggy little trek. But we pressed on because, as usual, Fred had a little mission for us to find 'Tree Mallow' so that he could serve me Wild Dolmades at the end of the journey. Yes, that's right, cold meze, in the snow. Lovely stuff.There is about to be much more of this sort of thing when we launch The Wild Lunch Podcast for real in the next few weeks. We are both very excited about it. Especially as we plan our first dining/podcast/music experience in a lovely venue in Brighton.It will be our attempt to capture a live/event podcast version of The Wild Lunch experience, in which Fred will be serving up some of his genius Wild Ingredient recipes, amidst banter and some gentle live music courtesy of Stupid Hearts Club (Oh, that's me isn't it?). Cannot wait to get it going.Enjoy the episode!And have a bloody great and productive yearNico Van Diesel and LindaxStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby!-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-Hello sodsLike many of us, I have felt totally rinsed by this year as it winds down, even though it has been largely brilliant for me. The creeping winter and some personal shit has really done a number on me this last few weeks and I have not been at all productive. That's what this episode is about in a way, trying to get my head round a bit of a dip in mood and find my way back to the energy that I need to make 2025 a belter.I quite like this idea of kind of taking you guys with me when I'm podding so that's what I've played with here. I have a little sulk in Linda the van, then pep myself up round Flavour Freds house, and end up twatted in a pub. So let me know how you feel about being in my pocket with me as I gad about.The year ahead will have lots of travel and going places in it, I think it's a nice new layer on things. Anyway, I shall try and hit the ground running and deliver you lot a nice chunk of stuff in the next few weeks.Thank you all SO much for your support. I promise next year will be top value xxxHappy New Year all, on we go!Uncle NicoStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

What a lovely episode to be able to post. Last week, my friend Delphine and I put on the first official (ticketed) Sanctuary Sessions music event at The Sherriff Centre in West Hampstead, London and boy was it special. Todays ep starts with a bit of set-up, then you will all come with me in Linda the Van, on the way to the gig. Then I've included some highlights from the gig in the pod, and then a nice chat with Michael Brindley and his pianist Matt on the way home (everyone wanted a lift in Linda). It is very much me trying to capture the feeling of having you with me and Linda as we explore the world of getting shit done and meeting lovely people.

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hello you lovely sodsThis is a cracking, chatty episode with tv comedy actress and personal buddy Kerry Howard. You may know her from Him and Her, Witless, Young Hyacinth and many more shows on the lol-circuit. Kerry is currently earning her drama stripes in Waterloo Road, and is still very much a reliable, funny-boned comedy hire gun. Over on Insta, her daily efforts to stay mentally and physically in peak condition are a huge part of her mission at the moment and here she does a pretty good job of inspiring me into 'moving more' even though I am sat in bed with a cold looking like a melted, Jabba the Hut candle as I type this. I bloody love Kerry, I always have a great chat with her and she made me an excellent brew with the correctly meagre amount of milk in it.Enjoyes vousNico Van Dieselbtw- note the fancy new designs of our show photos, posts reels and stories.

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.A few weeks ago Matt Morgan and I recorded a 'double-bubble' podcast for his show is exclusively on Patreon. The first two hours of our chat (we do like to go on) are on his feed and the third hour, which was very giggly I put on my Patreon. It was a pretty funny chat though so I have decided to share it out here in the wild where the podcasts roam FREE. if you like the episode then you might be tempted to come and join my Patreon where these is more exclusive stuff like this, and or or or you might also want to go and check out Matt's show which has a very loyal audience and is always a hoot, by which I mean both a laugh, and the noise Owl's make. FYI I am currently booking guests for a new and improved pro-edition of Stupid Hearts Club which will drop some time in Autumn, so until there will only be a few Bonus bits dropping here for a while but if you want to follow my adventures in my new camper van 'Linda' you can do so on my Patreon where i will also be dropping some exclusive episodes of The Music Dad Podcast, which is the musical interview and strumming mission i am on, and which will probably soon also have it's own feed once it has grown enough feathers.Enjoy and remember....Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby!-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and, frankly, stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.I parked Linda the Camper Van next to a big BIN on the seafront everyone, but she is still the apple of my eye as our love affair begins to pick up pace. This week I am heading West to Wales to do a wee acting role in an indie film and I am taking Linda with me. She will be playing the role of business hotel on wheels. There will also be stops in Swindon and Bath before I head back up to London on Tuesday for another lil acting job.Anyway in this episode I've ended up chirping on about bigger potential road-trips into Europe including my old family home from home, Marbella in Southern Spain. You can hear all about how cool my mum was in the 60's and how my real dad (a mystery 70's Zorro figure who I never saw) did George Bests's hair, which is what brought Marbella into my mums life.....FYI....I will be dropping some Linda-centric road-trip video content exclusively on Patreon as I explore the world and it's roads and stopovers, so please consider joining up and crucially becoming a paid member to help me keep her in Petrol, coolbox ice and that powder that turns poo and wee into 'a manageable gel'.

Literally one of my favourite comedy characters of modern times.And what a great, smart, chatty and straight talkin' delight she turned out to be. Listen to us waxing on about comedy, creativity and authenticity over a couple of pints of Shipyard, before i went and got drunk with friend and Patron, 'Reece the piece' who lives nearby. He even let Linda and I kip in his work carpark.A sensational start to the man and van era of Stupid Hearts Club.Enjoy.....Dad n Lindax-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support all the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subscriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Entertainment Community for everyone with loving, open and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Heya kids! (Heya Nico!)Today in the conversational gunge tank sees a second pod-visit from my friend, comedy writer and studio format wizard Ali Crockatt. Ali literally DEMANDED for this episode to happen at 4.30 at my gaff last Friday, like a gangster dropping in to give a lowlife grass one more chance before he cuts him a new face the dirty little ponce.Here we chat about our middling careers in TV comedy, the cerebral magic of 70's culture and then have a half hearted but funny attempt to get deep about the depiction of war in fiction before realising we don't know what we're fucking on about. Something there's not enough of at the moment in my meaningless little opinion. We got drunk after this.

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. An Entertainment Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.This week I offer to you an impassioned, deep and often troubling conversation with a stalwart of the London alternative comedy scene. Promoter, compere and agitator in chief Harry Deansway.Harry has run some of the maddest, grass roots comedy night in London over the last decade and a half maybe and his principles are something that everyone is our community has come across at some point or other, for better or worse. I am never bored when talking to Harry even when I fervently disagree with what he is saying, and I think that overall comedy needs more and not less characters like him around to help nurture the mad shit that can become the most original acts out there. A small warning. There are one or sentiments in here that might not be to everyones tastes, please don't come at me telling me what they are and why they are wrong. I already know lol.Enjoy the chatYour loving podfatherNicolasxStupid Hearts Club Forever Baby-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to help support the time and effort I lovingly put into the world of Stupid Hearts Club, which now includes, podcasts, live music events, music collabs and more, then please consider becoming a paid subcriber to my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club Podcast! A place for everyone who believes in love, openness, creativity and giving life a good bloody go.-------------------This weeks chat is very special and is a Music Dad Podcast episode.Last week I took myself to off to a fancy-pants Rock Star hotel in Kensington, London to chew the fat with Scouse bass legend Russ Pritchard of Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds. Also formerly of the Zutons, and The Big Kids (who you MUST check out).in this brilliant, insightful and beautifully honest chat we hear what it's like and what it takes, alongside luck, to claw your way up in the music scene. We discuss the dedication and guts it takes to hone your craft so hard that you one day may find yourself casually sparking a co-write of a song that will then become a part of popular culture as ubiquitous as salt in the briny sea (none other than 'Valerie'). I think you will love Russ, he is very much a person who clearly doesn't take a single moment of his job for granted, and he made me a proper Brew with not too much milk in it.This FREE version of the chat is dead ace but FYI, there is a different edit with a longer cut of our chat on my patreon at patreon.com/stupidheartsclub in which Russ tells the very amusing story of how he got the job with Noel Gallagher- There are a good few extras sitting waiting for you in the patreon feed going back months, including episodes of 'Tea and Empathy' where I meet strangers in cafes for a brew and find lots of humanity, and several episodes of The Busking Chronicles, which is what I called my music based eps before I realised I was in fact The Music Dad.Wherever or however you enjoy the joy thank you so much for being hereStupid Hearts Club Forever BabyNicoxx-------------------If you like what I do and you want to contribute to my efforts as well as get access to some really cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club! The Community for everyone with a stupid, open, loving heart-------------------Hey there my Stupid Hearted angels.What a wonderful, rich, musical treat I have in store for you this week as I drop my second ever official Music Dad podcast. This week my guest is a very very talented lad indeed who goes by the name of Christian Le Surf. I saw Christian NAILING his first ever headline gig the the other week and was blown away by how well arranged his songs were. This episode goes some way to showing where that ability comes from as we get a peek into the mind of a serious musical talent. Christian then plays us acoustic versions of two of his originals, does an ace cover of 'Senses Working Overtime' by XTC, and then pluckily joins me in a rendition of one of my own songs 'The Place Beyond The Tears'.To enjoy the full effect of how good this dude is absolutely make sure you go and check him out @christianlesurfmusic on Instagram and search for Christian Le Surf on Spotify, Facebook and Bandcamp (which is probably the best place to help him make a few pennies).Hope you enjoyStupid Hearts Club Forever BabyMusic Dadx-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Greetings my Stupid Hearted angels.This episode of The Stupid Hearts Club Podcast features myself and anti-comedy king Mark Silcox enjoying a sumptuous Punjabi meal in central London on a sunny Friday afternoon and really getting under the bonnet of his comedy philosophy.I knew I was going to love catching up properly with Mark (which it turns out is a stage name, um...what?) but I had no idea just how deep my admiration would be for his journey from India, to unassuming science teacher to stalwart of the avant-garde UK comedy scene and Uncle Shady in Man Like Mobeen.This mans mind has to be heard to be believed (yes I'm reclaiming that tire old phrase for the pod world) and frankly I would happily have him on as a regular for his insight and disarming leftfield wit.EnjoooyyyyyyySilly Uncle Nicolasxx-------------------If you like the sociable little world I am buildings and you want to help support my efforts as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Happy June everybody. I am BACK after a wee sabbatical after celebrating my 50th and boy do I have a good solid month of top poddingtons lined up for you. My various pod projects are starting to move apace and it's all getting rather exciting.Today I am sharing the first episode of what will now be called The Music Dad Podcast. It's basically the same as 'The Busking Chronicles' in that I talk to a musician and learn a bit about their world, but from today I am leaning more into the idea that I am playing, watching and making more music than ever at the ripe old age of 50. Hence calling myself the Music Dad, as my 'angle'.I never really felt the busking chronicles was the right title for the several musicky episodes that came before this one (please go and check them out if you haven't already. they are mainly on Patreon). Then along came this episodes guest Delphine, and along with her a whole new surge of energy and a shared commitment to a seriously exciting new joint creative project. I am so excited to introduce Delphine to you. She is a great kid with bags of talent musically, podilly and just as a human being -and this conversation was kind of the genesis of us joining forces to get not one, but two music podcasts started and out there, both with a different but equally valid mission of encouraging musicians to flourish everywhere. Coming soon, a post-50th reflective solo and a very lovely, fun comedy chat with comedy man of mystique, Mark Silcox from Man like Mobeen.Stay tuned and spread the word babies.

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Podcast for everyone with a Stupid Heart!-------------------Hello loveliesBack in November my excellent comedy actor pal Laura Patch (from Netflix hit Afterlife) let me into her rather impressive kitchen for a chat about life, writing and processing trauma. That's episode 73 if you want to go back and find it. Now 6 months later, the play she was merely tinkering with back then is up on it's feet as Laura performs it and hones it into it's perfect shape. Last Friday I had a brilliiant catch up with her in Cote in Soho (OooooOOOOoooooh, alright Lawrence LLywellyn Bowen).We had a further chat about writing about personal experience, and processing trauma which has become a very hot issue the last few weeks since Baby Reindeer arrived and seemingly caught the attention of the whole world, and not always for the better as the hype and opinion furnace began to rage.After our chat I went and watched Glorious in Clapham on Tuesday where I got to see Laura in action. I also got to meet some of Lauras buddies which was very interesting indeed and only confirms to me how ace and loved she is, the absolute sod.This ep concludes with me referring back to watching the play, and reflecting on how great it is watching a project go through the stages of finding it's truest self.Stirring stuffHope you enjoyNicox-------------------If you enjoy what I do and would like to support me with a little monthly donation, while getting access to some SRSLY cool, exclusive extras, then why not go and check out my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hey babez,Just two days ago Alistair and I met in a bar in Victoria and had as troubling a conversation as we have ever had. I recorded badly on a Zoom recorder but luckily had my phone mic running. Tech knobeadry aside, our vile conversation made me feel a lot better about the scorn I regularly spray in Griggs direction because once again he has proved that he has something remarkable and undefined where his should should be. And in this episode I think we possibly find out the genesis of his bland penchant for unfeelingness. Enjoy it, if that is the right word. Which it isn't.-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Heyo my lovesI present to thee a nice solo catch up I recorded in my car over 2 seperate sittings. I know I am a week off the pace again, sorry. But I am dropping two more eps before the month ends so my heart is still true. In this episode I am telling you about all the little plans that are growing in my pod-world. It's quite exciting I tell thee. There's also a 'Cliff-Riff', which is insinuating absolutely nothing and some gentle coastal sounds to play you out.By the way-I have decided to turn off Patreon billing for the month of April, just to give me the option of doing some catch up stress free during my birthday month. Yes that's right, uncle Ma'am becomes a half centurion on 23rd April.I will likely still post a few bits but I have got to get the next phase of SHC lined up.-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hey You Smashing Persons...Something a little different today. As you all know, since I moved to Brighton a year ago, I have been busking, playing live music gigs, meeting and collaborating with all kinds of musicians, which has made me very happy. This uptick in musical energy has also given rise to my Patreon Only Bonus Podcast Series 'The Busking Chronicles', a chatty pod where I interview musicians who are hustling to make a a bit of a living from their love of playing music. We tend to chat for around 40 mins and then strum a few tunes out together. It's cute. It's kind of for my patreons only so if you if you want to check out a few eps, just join my patreon and have a squizz.Anyway now and then I like to drop a hint of my bonus stuff in the wild to tempt new Stupid Hearted folk in to our little community. So, today I am dropping an edited, slightly rough, audio edit of the first ever Stupid Hearts Club music night, which took place at the Bees Mouth bar in Hove in late November. It was a gorgeous evening with some amazing performances and lots of laughter.Have a listen and perhaps consider coming down to the next one on Thursday March 28th again at the Bees Mouth, Hove. A truly excellent little music bar full of mad shit, long haired, gentle staff and amusing toilet decor.Or if you live far away, why not consider how I could come to your area and put a similar night on (you would obvs have to help me find some acts near you, but it would be fun right? And allows me to get on the road which is going to becoming more of how I approach Stupid Hearts Club in 2024-Anyway, hope you enjoy the recording....SHC 4EvaPS - Am dropping a lovely ep of my other bonus series 'Tea and Empathy' soon so stay tunedxxUncle Seaside-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Once in a while, a man comes along that is so full of wisdom, panache, and depth of character that were he to pass you in the street, you would immediately hear a montage of echoey-whispers all going 'who is he?...who is he?...who is he?....who is he?......all overlapping each other and fading out...out...out. My latest guest, is no such man. 'Mysterious Albert' is a fellow tired ageing comedy writer, whose name I say out loud literally immediately in the intro to this episode. However he has just texted me in a paranoid wheel-spin asking that I do not put his name in print so that he can speak freely and with reckless abandon, which he doesn't do anyway. This has rather amused me, so he shall now forever be...whisper it....Mysterious Alberts, Albert, Albert..........ShhhhhhhhhEnjoy the episode.....-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hey all you lovers out there-SELF-LOVERS that is. See where I'm going with this? Yes, it's valentines day and Uncle Seaside is here in a big grimy coat carrying a large fish in a stripey plastic bag to tell you that he loves you all very much. This episode ends up being about Self Love which I believe is the key to being open to all the other sorts of love, so give yourself a lil pat on the bum today if nobody else is going to do that to you. Also don't do that to anyone else 'to cheer them up' unless you are already in a mutually bum'pattin type relationship with them otherwise it is NOT OKAY.I warble on about some music stuff in this ep too just cos there's a lot of it about at the moment. There are two events to look out for if it is possible for you to travel for a bit of live SHC music action- One for Northerners and one for Southerners,Firstly I will be playing (solo) a meaty set of indie covers before Oasis Supernova on Saturday 24th of Feb at Square Chapel Arts Centre in Halifax. Come along if you are nearby (or overkeen and far away)Secondly the third Stupid Hearts Club presents....Love, Lols and Heartache...will be on March 28th at The Bees Mouth in Hove, and will feature emerging local talent Crimson, who is ace, and one well established Indie artist that I shan't name until it is defo confirmed-Come along and talk loudly into my face about how it's weird meeting a podcast in human form.

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Dearest sweethearts.I have maked a really fun classic SHC episode for you this week chatting to much-more successful-than-me comedy actor and all round diamond Kiell Smyth-Bynoe. This lad has been getting his adorable boat race around the tellybox for the last few years and he is great company as well as a seriously natty dresser. Here I get the inside track on his career so far, swap misty-eyed bants about the deep fun of improvising with funny people and talk about the edge and stress that comes with weird egoic success being followed by fallow periods and tumbleweed. All of this gold (AU) is spread on a comedy base we set early on and lean into a little too hard following one passing mention of the periodic table.EnjooooyyyyyyUncle Seasidex-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Darlings!I am so excited to release this episode of Stupid Hearts Club, which I made with easily the most intensely informed man I have ever gone deep into the woods with. George Fredenham also know as Flavour Fred (find him on Insta) is an absolute goldmine of knowledge on mushrooms, wild food, foraging and the history and mythology of a world of flavours that blows my mind every time we talk. He's also a straight up dude, and great company. This episode sees us go from being a bit pissed at lunch, to chilled at my gaff and then magically appearing in a cold but beautiful forest glade. You are going to love Fred, and you are going to be hearing more from us both.PS - A bonus full length version of the Forest Walk audio from the end of this ep, will be posted on Patreon as exclusive content early next week.

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------At last, dreadful little lice-playground and morality vaccuum Alistair Griggs and I have created a follow up worthy of the Christmas Special we did back in 2018 for our first podcast 'Sick Minds' (Which is still out there in the podiverse)....In this fetid long awaited sequel little Alistair seems to have convinced himself that he can somehow topple his master (Me) with predictable but still amusing consequences- We then try and put the issue of Christmas to bed to give you all a fucking break from the most hellish social obligations of the year and go on to discuss many foul non-festive things-And then....well... ....Then we enter a conversation that is amongst the finest I have ever had with Alistair, when he produces a computer games magazine that contains a letter written by his 13 year old self...What follows is analysis of the Griggsian... character that neither of us planned, or has yet processed.Unlike fucking Christmas, you will not to miss this one.Love and dark-light to you all my pretty hensMaster and little Alistairxx-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Before I start trying to justify the utter carnage that is this episode, I feel I owe you lovely people an apology for not delivering a pod since the 5th of December. As it goes I've got about 6 episodes recorded but I have been unwell and in a really spaced out zone the last couple of weeks, and my daily notes to myself about editing and posting ended up lost in a rotating list of shit that I haven't not even vaguely managed to do.However, by the time the year ends there will be a wonderful bonus Patreon episode of Tea and Empathy with a lady called Denise, who is a therapist, but on a more conversational friendly level instead of as a taster of therapy. I have also rescued and embellished the amazing Griggs conversation I had the other week but messed up. That means that you will be getting a Griggs special Christmas episode, that I promise you is fucking hilarious.Now back to this absolute fucking shambles. Every single time I have attempted to do a remote podcast with Miles Chapman, he has forgotten that he needs to be wearing headphone (and ideally is speaking into a proper mic), so that my voice does not come echoing out of the speakers at his end. And everytime I point it out and get frustrated he gets annoyed with me (as if it's my fault) to the point where it sounds like he might cry.Luckily nothing in this world, makes me happier than hearing Miles getting angry at something that is his own doing, and actually in some ways it is the only feeling I am still able to access in this cess-pool of a world. So please revel in the joy of the first few minutes of this shamefullly, hate-filled dirge. For the record I actually had to send the sound files to be cleaned up by AI, and what is left is still a bit annoying. Look out for the sudden laptop scratchy noises towards the end for example. I honestly give up.Still, enjoy the madness.Captain Seaside,Trigger warning: We talk about gruesome ways we would kill each other at the end and it is absolutely fine if you decide to bail out at that point.-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------OG Stupid Hearts Club listeners are in for a deeply awkward treat this week (while new listeners will be forgiven for wondering what the hell is going on) as I finally breach the walls of Herr Grigg's mountain retreat and take dinner with our fetid friend and is absolute firecracker of a long-term partner 'Helen' (actually called Lauren). Alistair I was amused to find out absolutely loathes having guests, which left me no choice but to make him as uncomfortable as possible. Mission accomplished.I want it to be known that after our meal (no dessert or starter but thank you Helen) Alistair dutifully cleared our plates while Helen and I threw our heads back and chuckled cruelly.

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hello sodsPlease enjoy this really funny funster episode of Stupid Hearts Club with hilarious voiceoverer and comedy actor Charlotte Morgan. We met in a moody little cafe in Hastings and sat upstairs in the bit where people who don't like people go and sit to hiss at each other during their horrible day out that both of them ruin by sniping at each other and then drinking too much.Charlotte and I tried to keep that spirit up by talking to each other with a lack of respect bordering on toxic, and the result, I'm sure you will agree, is lots of fun.This episode was slightly hampered by an SD card getting full and me being too much of a grandpa to know how to cope with it. I think we lost about 12 mins of golden bants, but at least you have this!In the last few days I have also recorded with Griggs (also includes some SD card bollocks, but still got some good stuff) Miles Chapman, who's audio was as shit as it always is, and a lovely lady called Jillian, who joined me for an episode of Tea and Empathy.Lot's of stuff lined up for you all so keep on listening and please don't be shy to comment or inbox/insta about the SHC world , I love hearing from you allAwwwwoooooogaaaaNico-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Enjoy this free snippet of Nico's new Patreon exclusive podcast, The Busking Chronicles, which he recorded with James Walsh of Starsailor fame. I have made a really cool episode of The Busking Chronicles here for you guys. James and I met when we both played a fancy pants Soho clubs acoustic night after the last winter lockdown, with James headlining and blowing everyone away with his voice, while I held his beer and then caught Covid. It was a cool night though and we stayed in touch.I was hoping recently that he would be up for doing the Busky Chrons when he actually messaged me saying we should get together and chat and try and think of a project, which we did. Over a slightly wrongly administered lunch order in Londons 'Troubador' club, which is full of Bob Dylan vibes and stories from when he played there many times.This chat took place in a pals house in West London and features me marvelling at some of the shoulders James has rubbed with (?), his positive attitude to the selfie and sound advice on how to deal with knob'eads. The one thing we will never run out of.-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------You've seen her in Afterlife, you remember her from Star Stories, and you should watch her in Black Mountain Poets. Now you can hear Laura Patch being adorable, funny and open in her own kitchen sitting opposite a man with a ridiculous hangover. I love talking to Patchy so much, and I fully credit her with getting me through Sunday when i dropped in on her on my way up Nawf, to see me mam, having been a very silly boy indeed the night before.This gorgeous conversation roams through the fields of therapy, relationships, tricky family stuff and Laura's apparently highly dangerous lack of driving ability. I later slept in a single bed in a travel tavern. The travelling pod'mun dream is alive.Enjoyais'vousCaptain Seasidex-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Since I moved to sunny (actually quite windy and rainy) Hove, I have been rubbing my face around town trying to get my finger onto the local pulse in all sorts of ways (stop it). One shining piece of evidence that that is working a treat is this fine chat with marketing and hospitality/food blogger and man about town Mark McCulloch from @surpersonic_inc who a friend hooked me up with (I said stop it) and who I immediately got on with, in a pub. Drinking beer.Sure, we may have hit of it as budding new lager pals, but here we are just being two healthy big lads talking each other up in a big tough world full of grown up decisions and self-activated opportunities, or something. Basically Mark is a smooth operator and I like his style and I am trying to learn from his energy for doing stuff.Can we go for some more free meat now please Mark?Enjoy the episode...Captain Seasidex-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hey babies It me again. This week I wanted to do one of my intimate solo mindful chats so I recorded lying back on the sofa straight into my phone (so Punk). I have been thinking about how you feel kind of physically different in different places and can feel the place itself, so I wang on about that a bit.At the moment I think we all just need a bit of gentle reminding that we are lucky to be alive and that we should try and find ways to enjoy being here.Hope you enjoy and get something out of the episodePeace and loveMa'amxxx-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Cowabunga Dudes! (not just men, it doesn't mean that!)This weeks episode is a beauty, as I talk and chuckle with telly/film director-extraordinaire Jim Field Smith, whilst sipping on session ale by the river next to Kew bridge.I've know Jim for 20 years and have watched both proudly and bitterly as his career has steadily climbed all the way up to the point where any writer could be forgiven for getting what we in the trade might call 'major boxset envy'.Here we discuss surviving in the telly biz, some of Jim's finest work from shooting a sketch up an alley-way with me to directing actual airplanes in the sky whilst directing Apple TV mega-drama 'Hijack'. There is also a LOT of fun making analogies out of bad grammar and deep sea fish.So, fasten your seatbelts and press that button that reclines your seat and ruins the person behind you's day....Bing Bong!Mr Nicolasx-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Well hey there baby cats!I am SO excited for you all to hear this special episode of my new monthly Bonus Series 'The Busking Chronicles'- It is I think, a thing of wonder. About three weeks ago I bumped into 'Beached Brass' on the seafront and could not believe how joyful their sound was. I asked band leader Gabriel Garrick if he would be up for a podcast chat and maybe joining me for a song in a rehearsal room.A few days later I found myself in the room I had booked for 2 of us with a 6 piece Jazz band! One or two of whom were BRAND new to the line-up. Oh and a big dog called Jovis who attends all jams and gigs at all time. What happened next was nothing short of magical.So please enjoy-Many more Busking Chronicle adventures to come, with some really cool guests already lined up...NicoBwt- Sorry it's a day late, my producer was being a hero and trying to sort out the mixed bag of dodgy audio files I provided him with, but we got there in the end.SHC 4Eva baby!-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hey kidsI love the chat I had this week the lovely Denise Devenish, a counsellor (slightly different from a therapist) who works predominantly with people from the music industry.Here we go deep as we discuss the pressure around tolerance for booze, drugs and hedonism around music culture and how hard musicians can find it to reach out for help. I really enjoyed hearing about Denise's approach to helping people with their mental health, and I hope that our more general chat around all the different types of counselling and therapy is useful to someone out there.You can find Denise on Instagram where she is @dd.counsellingYou can find the Campaign Against Living Miserably here:https://www.thecalmzone.net/Another good place to start exploring theraputic options is MIND, which is here:https://www.mind.org.uk/-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hello everyoneAs promised in the last solo episode here is the first episode of one of my new spin-off series ideas. Tea and Empathy. This will be a monthly event where I sit in a cafe and 'someone' turns up and chats to be about whatever it is they have going on, or is on their mind. It's all about having non-judgmental, empathetic conversations with people we might not otherwise engage with deeply, if at all.In this opening episode I asked a guy called Ricky who sometimes is in a co-working space I use if he was up for telling me about what he gets up to while I am titting about doing podcast bits and hustling for coin.I genuinely ended up learning and thinking about a few things I didn't know and hadn't thought about before, and it was nice to get a lil sharey time with someone I usually just nod at over my laptop.This is very much an attempt to remind myself and others that when we talk to each other in real life, away from the bearpit of social media and the internet, that it leaves room for a bit more humanity, and empathy, especially if there's a nice cup of tea involved.Hopefully together we can grow our little community into a fun and wholesome space that is exciting and creative and above all, positive.I want everyone to have a chance to listen to this first episode to see if it's something that's your bag, but going forward Tea & Empathy episodes are going to be just for my lovely folks on Patreon. If you enjoy it and/or fancy supporting what we're doing with the show, maybe come check it out!Big love ya'llxUncle Nico-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hey everyone. I have done something a little different this week and recorded a super relaxed, reflective chat into my voicenotes app while lying on my bed. Which was then polished up by the new production hotshot I am about to tell you about.I have had a few things I want to say that are more in the deep and meaningful zone and I just had it in my mind that saying it away from my desk mic in a really intimate way might give it a different feel. That turned out to be true in a good way (the part of my brain I accessed whilst talking) and also bad (i made some swallowing sounds like a dog drinking from a bowl which had to be edited out).In this fresh-duvet-scented episode I tell you all about the forthcoming plans to solidify and expand the Stupid Hearts Club multiverse of content, talk about the odd feelings I get during the changing of the seasons, and some recent escapades noticing people struggling out there.I hope listening to this one helps you feel like we have got each other a little bit cos that is my intention. Kind of like a non invasive hug, that you totally consented to.Love and (AF) lagerUncle Ma'amx-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hello sodsI had a lovely chat with comedian and all round high achiever Wendy Wason this week. We talked about raising kids, her new fledgling film festival and the power of compassion. I absolutely love talking to Wendy, even when it's in a room that is too echoey, to have been a great choice to record a podcast. Enjoy!PS Am going to follow this episode up with a solo about compassion as I have encountered various people that need help lately.

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Prepare to be troubled to your core, as longterm Stupid Hearts Club royal family member Alistair Griggs (fellow comedy writer) and I pull the milky skin back on our deeply unhealthy comedic power-struggle based relationship.Let it be known, that I sometimes worry I am going too far with Griggs, but then he comes out with some of the crazy shit you are about to hear and I then realise that keeping this man in his place is absolutely essential to the survival of the human race.Let the rains of change fall on us all!I am your Father!x-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hello persons of the Earth!It's Captain Seaside again, with another lovely slice of chat for you. Last week I spoke to multi-podcaster, editor of Podbible Magazine and sinister nightclub promoter Stu Whiffen. Stu is a top geezer that I hit it off with after going on two of his 74 Podcasts (Off the Beat and Track, and Reach Out for Mental Health).We talked about music, creativity and (taste warning) a game that I in no way condone, where people decorate their willies with fuzzy felt. Some of it is more mature than that bit, but let's be honest not by much. I now can't wait to see if Stu (my best new friend IN THE WORLD) can hold true to his promise taking me on a roadtrip to teach me about his new hobby of actual hashtage Vanlifing.Enjoy!Nico-------------------If you like what I do and you want to support me financially, as well as get access to some cool extras, please take a look at my Patreon!

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hold tight kids, it's about to get very stupid indeed on Stupid Hearts Club as regular guest Miles Chapman and I honk our way through what felt like a pretty funny if horribly immature chat about things we find visually depressing, including crap supermarket food, animals being used for entertainment and much more.Question for you guys - I have been trying to do twiddly things I hope make the EQ and volume better on the last couple of episodes, how are we finding the noise levels? (LEVEL!)Another episode will drop in a few days with top podmeister and Podbible editor Stu Whiffen, and there is a Bonus Patron only Noel Fanboy special coming to tell you all about my special visit to Noel-Land with Nanny.

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart-------------------Hello sodsI present to you episode 62 of Stupid Hearts Club in which fast talking comedy rascal Richard Hardisty, and myself take a swift turn from talking over each other about comedy dynamics, and suddenly find ourselves wandering quite deeply into territory that some listeners may want to prepare themselves for before jumping in.We basically spent a lot of time talking about abusive behaviour, unhealthy relationships, controlling people, trauma, coercive control and other stuff like that, which was not the plan. Anyway, I think a lot of is quite engaging, but I want to be clear neither of are experts in this field (though both of us have experienced all sorts of nutty shit) so if you find it hard to hear people graspingly hypothesizing about something you may find personally painful just tread carefully, or turn it off if we're pissing you off!I might talk about this subject a bit more on my own if there is a thirst for those kind of musings, as there is a lot of it about and I have done some learning about some of this stuff to help my own little rollercoaster along.Anyway stay lucky, lots of loveCaptain SeasideNB: I have 'tried' to push the volume a bit with some garageband jiggery. It may be a while before I know what the right settings are.
