Inkymole on BBC Radio Leicester, April 21st 2020: Masks, Banksy's Bathroom, People Doing Good

My second 'Lockdown' Show of 2020, via phone with afternoon presenter Ady Dayman and Adele from De Montfort University. Trying to find topics that don't mention the C-word was almost impossible - but with it being woven into the very fabric of our lives, we found creative and positive ground between us!

Inkymole with Martin Ballard on BBC Leicester, for the first time BY PHONE!

For the first tine I joined Martin in the studio by phone, but I washed my hands before and after anyway. I was introducing the newly-released 'You Will Be Found', and discussing how its themes - isolation, loneliness, rallying round and mutual support - became so unexpectedly relevant and resonant by the time the book was released nine months after it was begun. We were joined by Tom from WillSow Books.

And I show of my Out To Get You themed Hallowe'en nails! Other than that - we laugh heartily at the joyful sight of the rats who've learned to drive (no, really) and talk autobahns, haunted places and the weather. Of course.

A Mole Playlist: Coldtronix! A blast of chilly circuitry in the middle of an unfeasible heatwave.

A blast of chilly circuitry in the middle of an unfeasible heatwave, July 2019 - shared on the hottest UK day on record. I had been craving some cool electronic sounds for a long time - and so put these together for a 2-hour session in the bottom drawer of the fridge!

Inkymole With Jimmy Carpenter on BBC Radio Leicester, June 2019

Mole with Jimmy Carpenter on a warm and sunny Leicester day following weeks of rain, talking with their fellow guest about the strangeness of airports, faraway places, Sister Shivani, and the nerve-wracking power of 'clowning'.

Back from Japan with an adventure to tell - dovetailing accidentally with our fellow guest’s stories of airports and faraway travel. Sister Shivani’s interview with Ben Jackson the morning before fed into our discussion on meditation (not as scary or staid as it sounds) and the importance of keeping yourself well - ‘putting your own oxygen mask on before trying to help others’.

Mole on BBC Leicester with Jimmy Carpenter and new guest Jill Mellor! May 3rd 2019

An extra-organic show of discovery and factoids on Jimmy Carpenter's BBC Leicester lunchtime show with new badass friend Jill Mellor. Don’t we look like a trio you wouldn’t mess with? Smiles hiding ninja-like segué skills and voracious vocabularies we covered migraines, murky artist vs brand litigation and maggot sausages 🤓

After a shirt break May’s show was a triumph with fellow guest Jill Mellor; smiles and much giggling all round (with some sterling-silver off-air conversations too)

Inkymole's October '18 Show on BBC Radio Leicester - with ghost stories!

Of course I had to swap creative tales for eerie ones since this is October's show! Why do 3 out of 4 people reckon they see ghosts? Why do I pay to go to 'haunted' houses and be scared (or disappointed)? Why is there a man who thinks the M6's hold-ups are caused by ghosts? All this and more organic nonsense in Ed Stag;s Monday show. Next show: November 17th.
