Life In The Stocks

We hope everyone is keeping safe and sane out there in lockdown land. Here's a little something to help pass the time in quarantine: an epic two-hour podcast with Jak Hutchcraft, a writer, filmmaker, musician and frontman with UK underground heroes WACO. Jak and Matt have been good friends for a few years now, so there was plenty to talk about and the pair go particularly deep. Expect discussions on spirituality, ideology, environmentalism, capitalism, evolution and humanity, and Jak's journalistic projects and volunteer work. Dig in and enjoy a great conversation with a great dude and a lovely human.Follow Matt Stocks on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjCheck out the Life In The Stocks Patreon page, support this podcast, and get all kinds of extras in return, from bonus podcasts & DJ mixes to archive print interviews & radio shows.www.patreon.com/lifeinthestocksMatt's first book, 'Life In The Stocks: Veracious Conversations with Musicians & Creatives (Vol. 01)' is also out NOW and is available via Amazon, Waterstones & Rare Bird Publishing.https://rarebirdlit.com/life-in-the-stocks-veracious-conversations-with-musicians-creatives/ Hosted on Acast.

Today is the one year anniversary of Keith Flint's passing and it seems like a fitting tribute to the late Prodigy frontman, as the main thread of this conversation is mental health, depression, addiction and alcoholism.

Their new album 'Jumpstart Hope' explores and is informed by many of the themes discussed here and is available now on Killing Moon Records.Follow Matt Stocks on Facebook / Twitter / Instagram: @mattstocksdjCheck out the Life In The Stocks Patreon page, support this podcast, and get all kinds of extras in return, from bonus podcasts & DJ mixes to archive print interviews & radio shows.www.patreon.com/lifeinthestocksMatt's first book, 'Life In The Stocks: Veracious Conversations with Musicians & Creatives (Vol. 01)' is also out NOW and is available via Amazon, Waterstones & Rare Bird Publishing.https://rarebirdlit.com/life-in-the-stocks-veracious-conversations-with-musicians-creatives/ Hosted on Acast.
