In this very special episode of the podcast I interviewed Jay Carder who is a music artist from London that produces, DJs, runs a record label, is on Rinse FM & has a job outside the world of music.   Jay Carder is someone who has made waves in the world of dance music with her breaksy, bassy, techno influenced sounds. Someone who I have a been a fan of long before we did the interview, it was great to get an insight into her life as a music artist as well as everything that comes with it.   This is the first in person episode recorded as part of this podcast series and definitely one not to miss.   Jay Carder Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jaycarderdj/ Jay Carder Bandcamp: https://jaycarder.bandcamp.com/ Jay Carder Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/jaycarder/ Erbium Records Bandcamp: https://erbiumrecords.bandcamp.com/music Links to Living For the Weeknight social media and other platforms: https://linktr.ee/livingfortheweeknight

And. We. Are. Back. After a post season break, I am happy to return to the airwaves with more of the same but maybe a little different. In this episode I ramble on about what I have been up to these last 6 months and my thoughts about Season 2. Oh and I recorded my face! Video format is available on some platforms but not all.

In this episode I wrap up season one by reflecting on my experience from the last nine episodes. I look back to what I've learnt from my guests, the impact on my mental health as well as what the future has in store for the podcast!

In this episode I chat with Bethan (also known as Meatgrinder) who does photography and interviews for artists. From musicians to poets, she covers a wide range of the arts. It was great chatting to someone who is not only super passionate about what she does but also having fun with it.

What does it feel like to wake up in the morning? Are you happy, sad or contempt? In this episode I speak with Alice (also known by her stage name Sylvia) about mental health and finding happiness in what you do. Alice is a DJ and aspiring producer who gives an open and honest account about her journey through music and her feelings throughout this journey. It was amazing to interview such an inspiring person and for those who are looking to pursue music whilst balancing their job, this will be a great listen for you all. Please check out Alice's mixes on Soundcloud too which can be found through her Instagram (@sylvia.flac). She's really great and I'm sure you will all love what she can do behind the decks. For those living in Barcelona, Alice plays regularly there so be sure to go see her do her thing!
