What's happening TSP mates. Happy Friday! It's nearly the weekend. Sorry this one's a day late. We've been mad busy recording new episodes for ya. This one is hot off the press. We've literally just had a lovely sit down with Steven Kavuma. Steven is a writer, director, activist and creator of the diversity school initiative. We met Steven at Native Bankside in London, who were kind enough to give us a room to record in for a couple of days. We talked about Swansea, fitting in, friendships (or lack thereof), being heard, finding your voice, becoming the clown, and loads, loads more. This is episode 114 of the Two Shot Podcast with Steven Kavuma. Get in touch...

Happy Thursday or whatever day it is when you're reading this. It's Two Shot Podcast time. This week our guest is Clint Boon. Clint is a bit of an institution in the North West. He's a making-money-from-more-than-one-means cat, spending his time flitting between being a musician, DJ, radio host, parent, teacher and all round creative type. Hailing from Oldham, he came to prominence with 'The Inspiral Carpets' before forming his own musical outfit 'The Clint Boon Experience'. We caught up with Clint at Manchester's Native apartments housed inside Cultureplex. Clint had a normal brew and Craig had something with white pine needles in it and we all got down to having a proper chat. We cover home-schooling, encouraging individuality, growing up in Shaw, getting caned, 60s blizzards and absolutely loads more. This is episode 113 of the Two Shot Podcast with Clint Boon. Parish Notices - We've recently switched over our podcast provider services to Acast so you might hear some adverts in the podcast in future. Hope that doesn't do your head in too much. You can always skip em ey. Any feedback, please let us know on twitter or instagram. We'd love to hear your thoughts. Also we've just got a new camera so watch the vid and pic quality rise exponentially 🤞 . Gonna try and make the Patreon extra fly and think of some other cool things to do on there.

How you getting on TSP listeners? I hope you're all well and good this week. We've got a recording of a live show for you this week. A couple of weeks back, we went down to the York Theatre Royal and had a wonderful evening with a bunch of lovely people. The night was opened by Salfordian wordsmith JB Barrington and we've picked a few of his poems to open this episode as well (Listener discretion is advised). If you haven't heard JB's two shot podcast episode go back and search out #TSP059 and hear us have a longer chat with JB in his dining room. It's a belter. After JB had the crowd suitably warm, we welcomed the legendary Art Malik to the stage. You might know Art from The Jewel In The Crown, True Lies, The Living Daylights and loads of other stuff. In this episode he talked us through the highs and lows of his career, he told us how straw boaters went down on his walks to school, he told us about Arnold, about dyslexia, about his Father and Mother and about so much more. He's a wonderful man and a wonderful raconteur, and we're sure you'll enjoy listening in to this live episode of the Two Shot Podcast with the majestic Art Malik.Get in touch...Facebook- search 'Two Shot Podcast' Twitter- @twoshotpod Instagram- @twoshotpod If you've enjoyed listening then please click through to https://www.patreon.com/twoshotpod to make a donation to the running costs of the show.
