Yelling at concrete
Hosted by Graham Cooling · EN
Yelling at concrete isbi-weekly podcast for coffee and conversation, taking a look at the life and interests of the guests who chat with me as well as taking an introverted look at topics I'm interested in!
Graham is an artist and passionate creative who thrives on generating conversation and discussion in a more abstract manner than just posing questions so three weeks out of each month with a one week breather he sits down to have a cuppa and chat. When guests come they bring their own topic so every episode is lead by the guests interests and what they want to discuss and the solo casts are wandering thoughts on subjects which interest Graham. The goal is keep the subjects diverse and give people a space to just have a chill and talk about what's really going on.
You can catch the show three times a month on a Friday and follow it through the year as Graham brings you a range of guests and topics. The key word is conversation so we don't edit we just talk and that allows us to relax and really get into subjects. I hope you'll join us.

Transcribe →Episode 297 - When running 5k feels like failure
Mar 2700:24:02Tap to summarizeThis week I talk failure and ambitions and how our brain can play a hell of a trick on us. I did couch to 5k back six years ago now and still run on the regular but after a month not running I was faced by my brain telling me "you suck". I could still run 5k and do so without much fuss but my target and goal posts had moved and I wasn't appreciating how far I'd come or even how just being able to do that was a huge goal a ALOT of people like it was for me back in 2019.So lets talk excersize, running, pride, self sabotage, guilt and shame and decide once and for all that if we're at least trying we're succeeding.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Transcribe →Episode 295 - Documenting creating is hard.
Mar 200:23:40Tap to summarizeThis week I sit down with myself and do something I dislike. Document my work.I've always said social media and content creation is coursework for creatives. It relies on un stunting our own exploration for the sake of having an audience present when we eventually release something. So this week I sit down to discuss that struggle and maybe find advice in the comments as to how to document your creative process and how not to.

Transcribe →Episode 293 - Combining science and inspiration? Feat Tricia Duffy
Feb 1301:06:47Tap to summarizeThis week I sit down with Tricia Duffy. Creator, teacher, writer, singer and host of her own podcast "in ten years time". Tricia found me in this instance and we decided to sit down and talk many topic but notably the impact of the creative process on mental state and its value to cognitive health. Tricia like myself involves herself in many things and in doing so is completing a PHD on the topic of creative practice and how it can be a benefit to your physical well being in many way which are often overlooked. We share that view of how to tackle a society built for money is often as well to simply create accessible opportunities so it was great to sit down and get to know her and her passions and discuss just how one practice folds into another.

Transcribe →Episode 294 - Your audience owes you nothing.
Jan 3100:23:10Tap to summarizeThis week I sit down to talk a personal gripe. Often on social media i follow artists and once in a while I see a comment or post like "Why aren't people engaging with my work?" "Why do they like that and not mine?" "Audiences just don't understand my stuff". And it irritates me as they seem to have forgotten, you're audience doesn't owe you their attention online. They have lives and other interests and its up to you to make something which breaks that mold for them.So this week lets talk marketing. Responsible art creation, audience engagement and most of all how to just make things for yourself.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Transcribe →Episode 292 - The tail end of a hurricane.
Jan 1600:31:42Tap to summarizeThis week I sit down to talk grief, navigating change and how big moments can sometimes seem like they need a quick fix or a method you have used 100 times but grief is different. It comes in waves and can be like navigating the remnants of a broken building. It takes time to find the foundation again. If you're going through it right now or planning on making bigger changes in your life remember to be patient with yourself and make the measure of progress simply that you're keeping going to begin with.The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

This week on the podcast:Graham and his brother Martyn from @AlternativeAdventures sit down to discuss the volatile statement that creators should focus more on Curation over Creation. in a relaxed fit episode unedited for conversation betterment the pair discuss the need to focus on curating your online output and discuss early 00's web blogs, lifestyle icons, and how brands such as Vans monopolise on being able to push a "vibe" rather than a "shoe".Martyn's big want is for creators to think less about what they post and showing of their own work but more their personalities and how building a community can be more "publicity" essential than making the "perfect post".The show is available on:Ituneshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/yelling-at-concrete/id1238765054Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3T2OhYE07edgaBDXrm86saAcasthttps://shows.acast.com/yellingatconcreteSupport us onhttps://www.patreon.com/yellingatconcreteIf you'd like to support at all there is a patreon and I have the goal of finding 38 members by the end of the year to make the show fully funded in terms of the running costs!

Transcribe →Episode 290 - Collaboration vs Competition Feat Marty Gordon (aka Whatwouldjesusglue)
Oct 1100:59:25Tap to summarizeThis week I sit down with artist Marty Gordon, Collage and cartoonist and overall interesting artist! Marty was recommended to me by other people which is apt for the topic of the show but also as he has a fascinating background as a former minister and a strong love of community for art which of course fits very well with this show!As such as sat down this week to talk about the challenges as an artist on topics such as finding the right moments to create, storing work, keeping in the scene and how certain spaces can vary in the level of support provided to you before after and during a show. We are both huge believers in lifting up other artists and creating actual connections rather than adding someone to a follow list and as such it was a pleasure to be able to talk through that landscape of thought with Marty.
