Laura Theis - The Ocean is Nobody's Bitch

Ten poets, one commission: to programme an hour of spoken word radio for digital station Hive Radio. Armed with portable recorders and editing support, they are at liberty to collect anything at all – so long as it contains spoken word.

'Tell me the truth about love' asked the poet W H Auden but did he ever discover the answer? Well now Sheffield poet Stan Skinny has taking up the quest that Auden started, in an effort to finally pin the answer down. In this hour long radio show, Stan, travels across the Yorkshire moors visiting poets, writers, musicians, artists and more, gathering poems, songs and clues from them. But will the journey take its toll on him and does anyone even care about love any more? 

Part film noir, part investigative journalism and part onion, will Stan succeed where so many others have failed, and finally give us a definitive answer to the question - what is the truth about love?

Apples and Snakes - Home Cooking: Tell Me The Lies About Love with Stan Skinny

Wild Is The Wind Cover By Amy Widdowson

I've used samples here from Rhett and Link so this stays up by either their good grace or ignorance of it...

I've Never Heard of a Vegan Alternative to Fish...

This is a song I wrote about what happens when words are not enough . . .

I've actually allowed myself a tune on this one and tried to get the mandolin to sound ok (even though I can't really play it).

Louise Brooks (in the picture) was a silent screen goddess.

Hope the song makes sense.  

JUST THE WAY I LIKE IT

Experiment 2: What Has Even Changed?

A song I wrote for my wonderful Children, Bonita 19 and Frank 16.
