This week on the Mind Full Podcast I am so excited to bring you a very special guest. He's an artist, writer, podcaster, comedian, musician, philosopher and is known to wear a plastic bag on his head from time to time. He is one half of the incredible musical duo the Rubberbandits and a man I first came across when we worked together on the TV show The Republic of Telly. The unique, funny and always creative Blindboy Boatclub is my guest this week.Blindboy is eloquent, open, honest and refreshingly funny about his neurodiversity and has helped so many young people deal with anxiety and other mental health issues. I sat down with Blindboy in a tent in a field in Stradbally Co. Laois. It was the Electric Picnic Festival and The Mind Full Podcast was part of the famous Mindfield. Blindboy was in rare form as they say and we had a wonderful chat about mindfulness, Limerick, writing, autism, and rats among other things!The Mind Full Podcast is proudly sponsored by WHOOP, the world's most advanced fitness and health wearable.

I enjoyed a quickening conversation with poet Rachel McCrum about interpreting the crafts of writing and painting, poetry as a space of ambiguity and uncertainty, and burnout. She shares this beautiful line from Inua Ellams - 'poetry is the cheapest way to be free.' And the podcast she references is The Blindboy Podcast by Limerick-born musician and author David Chambers, also known as Blindboy Boatclub. To learn more about Rachel and her work, you can explore rachelmccrumpoetperformer.wordpress.com online and @kicking.paris on instagram. For sight into another aspect of Rachel's artistic practice, check out her vocals as a member of poetry noise bogrock band Pigs&Wolves at https://youtu.be/r9YRmDUvrzA (their EP 'The Unfortunate Waggle' is due out late October 2024).

Lickers Jay and Deon wax poetic on ten of their favorite records from their respective collections which are filed under the letter J. Their choices lead to discussions on Blindboy Boatclub (he rules), the origins of their nicknames (do you even know these guys?), another blind-bought Burger Records beauty (Jay is a total Burger fanboy), Steve Albini (R.I.P.), and much more. Tune in and rock out! --- In the early 1970s, legendary collaborator and self-proclaimed non-musician Brian Eno famously designed a deck of 115 cards containing elliptical imperatives to spark in the user creative connections unobtainable through regular modes of work. He called his creation "Oblique Strategies." For the past half century, countless artists and professionals across the globe have benefited from utilizing the oblique strategies technique when attempting to overcome a lull in creative output. In 2024, idiotic, introverted yet somehow still award-winning* hobby podcasters and self-proclaimed Lightnin' Lickers Jay and Deon found themselves uninspired when contemplating the potential theme of their upcoming thirty-seventh episode. Together, they decided... to default back to the alphabet. Because they have a reasonably solid grasp of the alphabet and how it works. They had previously utilized the letters A thru I, so naturally, they went with J. Sonic contributors to the thirty-seventh episode of Lightnin' Licks Radio podcast include: Brothers Johnson, Holland-Dozier-Holland, Lee Moses, Steve Albini, L.L.

Episode 6 is with an artist named Blindboy out of Ireland who has created some of my favorite content over the past few years. From his band ‘The Rubberbandits' to his numerous tv shows, podcast and books, he's a great hang and unafraid to investigate the same sort of stuff I like to think about. To those wondering about the ads for Inside Out bands on this podcast, please consider this: touring is where artists generally make income in this day and age and in order to really get into my work and write without interruption for this year or so, I needed to keep the boat afloat and Inside Out has generously allowed me to do that by funding this podcast. Please understand they are doing me a tremendous service by allowing this to happen, so it means a lot to be able to help them out in return. Hope you're well, keep writing :) -Devin Listen to the podcast here: https://devin-townsend.lnk.to/Podcast This podcast is brought to you by InsideOutMusic.

Today I spoke to Blindboy Boatclub – a multi-disciplinary Irish artist and author of the recently published short story collection Topographia Hibernica, a tongue-in-cheek update to the original. Blindboy exploded onto the international scene in late 2010 with his band The Rubberbandits and segued into a weekly podcast which is a cultural phenomenon, with over 1.2 million monthly listeners. He has released three critically acclaimed short story collections and this is his latest one. I thoroughly enjoyed Topographia Hibernica and its absurd, empathetic depictions of contemporary Irish society, flora and fauna. If you're a fan of dynamic short stories with a hard & modern edge, this will appeal to you. Tonally, it's gritty, subversive, and slightly surreal, and narrows in on the way we relate to animals and the natural world in modern culture. Above all, many of the stories are funny. There was something in the energy here that reminded me of early short stories by the Scottish writer Irvine Welsh. The book is a relatively easy read – not lighthearted, but still accessible – and its thematic threads of animal kingdoms interacting with elements of contemporary mythology holds the collection together in a really coherent way.  This episode features an extremely wide-reaching conversation, dipping in and out of Irish folklore, Hiberno English, the impending collapse in global biodiversity, Hieronymus Bosch, creating art with ‘fire in your veins', and a plethora of other fascinating topics. What shines through our conversation most apparently is the remarkable breadth of Blindboy's knowledge, and the all-consuming way he approaches creative pursuits. Incredibly informed and interested in the world around him, he's an artist in the truest sense of the word. Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at @litwithcharles. Let's get more people listening – and reading! Books mentioned in the episode: During the episode, Blindboy talked about the Argentinian horror short story collection, The Dangers of Smoking in Bed by Mariana Enríquez (2021); Dance Move, by Wendy Erskine (2022), an eclectic collection of stories set in Belfast; A Shock, by Keith Ridgeway (2021), a subversive novel exploring the absurdity of contemporary London life; The Wounded Cormorant and Other Stories by Liam O'Flaherty (1973), a compassionate portrayal of Irish nature; and Neuromancer, by William Gibson (1984), a genre-forming cyberpunk novel. His favourite book that I've probably never heard of was Ossian's Ride, by Fred Hoyle (1951), a sci-fi detective novel, where Ireland has become a technological superpower. The best book he's read in the last 12 months was Homesick for Another World, by Ottessa Moshfegh (2017), a collection of 14 short stories, most of which were originally published in The Paris Review.  The book he would take to a Desert Island would be The Third Policeman, by Flann O'Brien (1967) a dark, surrealist murder mystery set in a village police force. Finally, a book that changed his mind is The Dead, which is the final, novella-length, story from James Joyce's collection Dubliners (1914). Lit with Charles loves reviews. If you enjoyed this episode, I'd be so grateful if you could leave a review of your own, and follow me on Instagram at ⁠@litwithcharles⁠. Let's get more people listening – and reading!

To mark World Mental Health Day we have gathered together some of the most enlightening and heartfelt moments of honesty on the subject of mental wellness. To start off Jarlath has the tables turned on him as Jen Trzeciak of Jigsaw.ie asks the questions. For the first time Jarlath opens up about his own mental health journey and challenges he finds toughest as a parent trying to guide his son through life and the pandemic. Jarlath and Jen talk about the incredible work that Jigsaw does, then in the second half of the show we hear from Bob Geldof, Blindboy Boatclub, Marian Keyes, Jason McAteer, Caroline Foran and Richie Sadlier. As the e-Mental Health Manager Jen Trzeciak is responsible for and central to the work Jigsaw does to help young people in Ireland. In a first for the series, Jarlath opens up about his own mental health struggles and Jen gives some priceless advice to parents looking to protect the mental health of their children. In the second half Bob Geldof speaks about letting the light back in after experiencing loss, Marian Keyes gives her thoughts on the most common misconceptions about mental health and Blindboy Boatclub opens up about his own mental health difficulties. Caroline Foran also explains how she discovered that mental health issues can become embedded in childhood while Jason McAteer opens up about reaching his breaking point while Richie Sadlier discusses the devastating impact for him when his career came to an end. This is a truly invaluable collection of conversations for a particularly special occasion, enjoy. Covid19 has undoubtedly impacted the mental health of our young people, the increasing demand for our services is not a Covid specific phenomena. Demand in 2019 was 22% up on the same period in 2018. Demand in 2020 was 25% higher again (25% increase on 2019). There has also been an over 400% increase of traffic to its e-mental health platform over the last six months, a surge in demand for its schools supports and a month-on-month increase to calls to 1800 JIGSAW support line. It is clear that young people need support to get them through the coming months. What we are hearing from those who have been using our services and supports over the last six months is a real cause for concern. Isolation, uncertainty and fear are leaving many without the core elements we value and need for our mental wellbeing. We have seen a slight shift in the issues that young people are presenting with since the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic. While anxiety remains the top issue among young people, we have seen an increase in sleep-related issues, family conflict and a marked spike in contacts from parents and teachers seeking support. Young people, parents, guardians or those who work with young people can visit jigsaw.ie to access support or Freephone 1800 JIGSAW (544729), Monday to Friday, 1pm- 5pm.

Blindboy talks about the philosophy, logic and beauty behind keeping your face to yourself.   Blindboy opens up about his own mental health difficulties (56:00), the biggest offer The Rubberbandits ever turned down (1:06:00) and the limits of using comedy to puncture the absurdity of solemnity (43:00).

In show fifty-one, Tara gets to meet Dr. Amanullah de Sondy in a show LIVE from Cork Podcast Festival. Dr. de Sondy is Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Islam at University College Cork. They chat religion and belief, Scottishness and ‘Muslimness’, kilts, masculinity and how all injustice is related. Tara suggests a terrible new title for his book and we learn more about how Dr. de Sondy ended up being an umpire at Wimbledon. TWICE. Tara also reads ‘Irotica’ from her own book ‘You’re Grand’ and tries to tenuously (“tentatively”) link it to the interview. She reckons it’s a perfect fit.  With thanks to Cork Podcast Festival, Aisling O’Riordan, Arran Mac Gabhann, Blindboy Boatclub for curating, Brian and all at Crawford Art Gallery.

The first podcast of 2019 is a solo podcast focusing on sales, media and podcasts. The last few months I have cut out pretty much ALL media from my life and taken control of what I DO listen to....podcasts (Rich Roll, Michael Gervais, Dan Carlin, Irish History, Blindboy Boatclub...and Bill Burr...) Audio books are starting to work for me again and I'm having a go at speed reading...courtesy of Tim Ferriss Sales focus in this podcast is on prospecting and why front loading the effort will pay dividends when it really matters. Will get back to the conversational format next week - in the meantime, thanks for listening in. Paul

This week, we bid a fond farewell to Bailey the Instagram Cat, tear apart bullshit art, discuss Blindboy Boatclub, ponder the space program, and check up on our Orgone levels. 

Actor, musician, and dialect coach, Moriah Claire Quinn stops by the podcast to talk about not being home for two months, Blindboy Boatclub, psychobabble, the left and right sides of our bodies, sticking your finger between your teeth, being raised Bahá'í, growing edible dates, social media and the inherent sadness of life, slippery slopes, miscalculating the rapture, love wolves, Blurred Lines, those that scream loudest, your internet footprint, being a slave to your cell phone, how things used to was, the faith taters, coming out of the broom closet, the suck that is life, and being excellent to each other.   Follow her on Instagram: @moclaireq

Back with a bang! Or maybe more of a thump...but back nonetheless! Today I give some insight into why the whole 'Podcast a day for 40 days' was somewhat doomed to 'fail' but I also speak of the utility in 'failing'. If you've joined the Blindboy Boatclub party (which you should) you'll be familiar with his 'podcast hug'. Well I'm more and more of the opinion that what my solo episodes are is a 'podcast kick up the hole'. At least that's what I'm striving for! Let me know if something I've said has resonated with you, this whole Off The Lead 'thing' is fuled by feedback! Fran. imoffthelead@gmail.com

This week Second Captains are joined by Blindboy Boatclub of Rubber Bandits fame. He discusses giving Leo Varadkar advise on sound quality, growing up in a school where rugby players rule, healthy can drinking and shrill football fans. Plus there's Ireland's most ethnically diverse town, booing Justin Gatlin and Patti Smith on Sam Shepard.

One of the biggest crowds we’ve had at Banter in ages was the one that showed up to hear Blindboy Boatclub from The Rubberbandits talk about this, that and the other during the Beatyard festival in Dun Laoghaire. Here’s a conversation about art, politics, surreality, Limerick, sex, mental health, hip-hop, fish fingers, religion, fashion and other matters.
