Once again I’d like to thank Oli through a surprising journey through psychedelia, mystical experiences, religious concepts, and a critique of capitalism. In the new year, all of the new podcasts will be with people involved in art in some way. So I have many more performance artists coming up. I’ve also got a lawyer from Ghana whose also a TV star and a socialite extraordinaire. I have a British born, London Iranian, musician, jazz poet, and percussionist. And I have a sculptor coming up as well, and many more to come. So thank you very much for your time and see you in an exciting new year.

Welcome to the Arts Performed Podcast. This Episode was recorded under the former title Student Expert Podcast. Please Enjoy.
Outro:
It continually surprises me that people like Oli can engage in the use of psychedelics an other aspects of life in such a deep and meaningful way, as opposed to my suspicion that people that engage in that just do it to get high. He’s defiantly proved me wrong on that. I loved the way he [...]

Intro:
Hello ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the Arts Performed Podcast.
This episode was recorded under the former tittle Student Expert Podcast
Please enjoy
Before interviewing Oli I had not expected, what I kind of see in some ways as quite a circuitous root towards the idea of psychedelics and what they do for you. But once I arrived the interview and started getting his ideas of psychedelics, what I hope you realise by listening to it is, that it’s much more than that. It’s something much deeper.
We go into psychedelia and consumerism, we touch on mysticism, we talk a little bit about Terrence McKenna, but also his very deep influence from Bill Hicks so, please enjoy
Outro:
Once again, an unexpected journey through some ideas that I’d never considered before.
I certainly never expected someone with an interest in psychedelics to be talking so deeply and so spiritually a [...]

Episode 7
Intro:
Hello listeners. Welcome to the seventh episode of the Student Expert Podcast.
This part is the final part of Tommy Poppers interview. Tommy talks about art and power and the fact that art challenges the dominant discourse. He talks a bit about the book that he wrote in South East Asia and also the articles that he wrote, the album that he wrote, the play that he wrote and the forthcoming play he’s working on.
So please enjoy
Outro:
What I’m loving about these interviews is I’m meeting people from all walks of life, from areas of the community that I would not normally engage with. That for several year, particularly from the LGBTQ communities, that I would never engage with because of my imposed upbringing with homophobic attitudes. So meeting with people, not just from the LGBTQ communities but people who I’ve not engaged with before.

Episode 6
Intro:
Hello listeners and welcome to the 6th episode. Apologies for the late publication of this episode. Instead of a bimonthly podcast I will be publishing the following episodes every week. Today’s episode is the 2nd part of Tommy Poppers interview. This week we talk about the creativity of the LGBT community and stepping outside conventions. We also engage with the question, what is art? The issue of resistance is also explored here in terms of the challenge to norms and conventions. Please enjoy
Outro:
I so enjoyed editing & listening to this week’s episode as returning to it has given me an added appreciation of the work of LGBT performers but more than this how their expression of art & telling their stories can be so relevant to the rest of our lives, particularly for those of us who are marginalized in other ways such as, gender, race, culture or social class. The final episo [...]

Episode 5
Intro:
Hello listeners. I am your host Tobi and welcome to the 5th episode. I spoke to Tommy Poppers, a writer, musician, sometime drag artist and LGBT campaigner & his interview will be spilt into three parts, this being the first.
Our interview commenced with his love of the Gothic literature of the fin de siècle. We quickly moved on to art as a form of communication & his own writing and performances inspired by his recovery from abusive relationships, assault & trauma. Art is evident as a form of catharsis for Tommy & we discussed art as catharsis generally. We move onto art & it’s conflict with power & then onto Graham Harman’s metaphysical theory of Object Orientated Ontology.
Outro:
Thanks again to Tommy Poppers. As I’ve said before he is one of the many creative people I met in the Margate Arts Club in Kent. In the next episode Tommy moves on to speak further ab [...]

Episode 4:
Intro
Hello listeners. I am your host Tobi & welcome to the forth episode of the Student Expert Podcast. I went to a screening of 3 LGBT films at the Margate Arts Club. The films were the art film busy by Tomas Jefanovas, an artist and graphic designer who I’ll be interviewing in the future. Just May Does Geri featuring Pete May, a drag artist who has a passion for Geri Hallowell & whose also agreed to be my podcast. The third film is Lucy: My Transgendered Life. I hope to be interviewing Lucy & the film makers at some point in the future, however the film is very popular, so there’s not much chance in the near future of engaging with them. Hopefully in the future I will interview them. At the screening I engaged in conversation with Bernardo who at the time was writing notes in a small book in between films. He introduced himself in his native Portuguese as a student of the body & an expert of dancing & wr [...]
Episode 3. The interviewee for this episode is homeless artist called James Sneddon whose field of study is art and expertise is survival. I had bumped into James and chatted with him about his art, where I decided to buy a print of his. The content of the recording was quite unexpected. James spoke about his passion for art coming from his childhood but it quickly became apparent that his art was not only his safe haven but also his means of survival. His main source of income is the odd jobs and his painting. Due to the distressing and unhelpful process of making a claim this is his only means of survival.
He talks candidly about his alcoholism, being made homeless twice and his time in prison.
Episode 2.
This episode follows on from the first as that recording was interrupted by the rehearsal of the rehearsal of the Canterbury Shakespeare Festival production of Othello. At the time the actors were chanting the lord’s prayer which inspired me to ask their director for an interview.
Tom Houlton agreed to the interview and went on to speak about his beginning’s as a young actor and then his new found passion as a director at Kent University. He spoke of being inspired by Thomas Ostermeier and Mike Alfreds with the later having particular influence with his philosophy on the importance of the actor. Tom believes that each actor must bring his own character to the performance and employees different techniques to make each performance a performance in its own right.
I really enjoyed this interview, because other than being an audience member of a few theatre performances I had no previous knowledge of acting or [...]
Episode 1. In this first episode Barney shares his expertise of, depth psychology, mysticism, cosmology, culture and mental health. In particular we discussed the connection between the science of psychology and spirituality, although he uses the idea of the mystical experience instead of spirituality.
Other topics that were covered were the idea of the non-dual experience in religious and spiritual matters which is particularly pertinent in today’s consumerist society with the individual being persuaded to go it alone.
About half way through the recording there was a perfect interruption from a performance group rehearsing for this year’s
