This week Gary Mansfield speaks to Ryan Callanan (@RYCA _Artist). Ryan Callanan is a multi-disciplinary artist whose work pays a humorous homage to his love of Hip-Hop, the rave scene and the Star Wars franchise, he often combines these influences with other religious and cultural figures to create a remix of nostalgic iconography. Famous artworks will be will be directly repurposed in a print edition, seeming to have been rapidly ‘tagged’ with a dripping neon smiley face. The Mona Lisa, Warhol’s Marylyn and even the World Cup itself have been daubed with the RYCA-mouflage brush.

Back in May, Chris and Stu took a risk at booking a venue and doing HCL live. By some miracle the show sold out, and by a further miracle 5 previous guests agreed to come on and get involved by telling their most embarrassing stories. This podcasts combines all the amateur (and usually offensive) antics you have come to expect from the boys, but in front of 130 people.I mean come on, Tony Rodd, Ria Lina, Jordan Gray, Gail Porter and Scroobius Pip all telling their most embarrassing stories? What more do you want from a podcast? Ok ok, the boys also dig deep to pull some skeletons out of their closet, and even the audience comes forward too!To top it off, the best story won a one off piece of art created by artist and previous guest Ryan Callanan, and the story came from an audience member.....

The boys were very lucky to have Ryan join them for a trip into youth and nostalgia with his Top 5 toys. If you were born in the 80's or 90's you will love this episode. Fans of Ryan as an artist will get a good insight into where his addiction to producing his work stems from. Of course you can expect the usual arguments and jokes between Chris and Stu.....
