Listen To The Show
Brea knew a secret guest would be arriving. She just didn't know who.
When Phil walked up to the front door Brea couldn't have been happier. That's Uncle Phil, Brea's uncle and a regular in our stories for ages.
Now he's finally in the studio. He came over to swap a guitar pedal, and I may have trapped him into co-hosting with us.
Phil teaches woodwork and builds guitars from skateboard decks in a single garage under his house. He brought one along, so we asked, 'Why do we bother making things when we can buy almost anything?'
You might want to listen if:
• You used to make things, and you can’t quite remember when or why you stopped.
• Part of you believes creativity only really counts if it earns money or finds an audience.

— The Podcast
So what is it exactly?
Pain In The Arts is a weekly podcast about the reality of making things – the breakthroughs, the false starts, the imposter syndrome and the inevitable triumph that makes it all worth it.
Each week, one of us brings a topic. The other finds out what it is at the same time you do. No scripts. Just a genuine conversation about the creative life we’re actually living.
Hosted by Breallyn and Lyndon – a novelist-in-progress and a music producer – the show has a format we’ve never heard anywhere else.
New episodes every Tuesday, wherever you listen.
