The Intelligentleman Podcast
by Mark James Hammond
In 2014 a 29 year old from Gateshead in the north of England, emboldened by Marc Maron's candour had the misguided thought, 'Why don't I do a podcast?'. Unfortunately, Mark didn't really have a premise, script or point. Fast forward to the present, Mark is cringing about his contribution to the craft of recording yourself talking with absolutely no use, direction nor shame. However, these files exist and capture a time...a time when Mark too fell prey to the raging desire to say things into his phone, as if anyone would ever willingly indulge his soliloquies. He consoles himself that this all happened in 2014 at least; in a time before EVERYONE had a podcast.
Episodes

Grief
Back in 2014, Mark sat down to talk about grief on the eve of the first anniversary of his mother's death. Using 'A Grief Observed', C.S. Lewis' short but poignant memoir on the loss of his wife, Mark tries to give language to the inexplicable psychological affect of loss.

Episode 6 - Short Stories (Part 1)
In 2014 Mark was chin-deep in his Open Degree and the Advanced Creative Writing module. Here he discusses the influence of Raymond Carver and reads from his own creation, 'The Plot'.

Episode 5 - Anxiety (Part 2)

-
Episode 4 - Anxiety (Part 1)
2014 was a time of high anxiety (update - it's definitely worsened). Mark opens up with his characteristic candour about how he has lived with the condition and the moments he has reached out to primary care for help.
-
Episode 3 - Self Awareness
Back in 2014 Mark felt self-aware (update - on reflection it seems there was a distinct absence of self-awareness - the fact that he opened up by himself to his phone and then published his ramblings as a podcast supports this claim).
-
Episode 2 - Kafka
Mark has had quite a bit of time for our Franz over the years, although he did fail to visit the Kafka museum in Prague despite holidaying in the city twice. Mark would eventually use a quote from this episode's reading for one of his songs ('From Whose Womb Comes the Isolato?' by Mark James...

Episode 1 - John Williams, Stoner.
In 2014, Mark Hammond of Gateshead in the UK had been enjoying podcasts for a couple of years. He was particularly fond of The Nerdist and Marc Maron's WTF shows. So, being 29 and full of vim and extremely warm air he thought 'EVERYONE will want to hear what I have to say!' Now, everyone has a...
