Show Notes
Psychiatric nurse and musician Paul talks to Joanna Neary about making music for its own sake.
It’s another day in 1989. Sick of counting cars and avoiding gainful employment, two feckless teenagers come up with a plan. This is the origin story of ‘Two Strings & Paint Tins’.
We talk about judgement too: what happens when people tell you that you shouldn’t be expressing yourself in that genre?
Doesn’t it make you want to keep going?
YES! This eclectic podcast episode is an experiment, a meandering chat, an exercise in having fun and being way out of the old comfort zones.
It’s a celebration of being bored, getting things wrong and keeping on anyway.
Theme music by Hedluv.

Host comedian Joanna Neary chats with film-maker Iain Neary about a true story yet to be told. In 2001, aged 24, Joanna’s brother Iain, encouraged by his then girlfriend, replied to an advert to join a ship’s crew for the adventure of a lifetime. ’30 Crew Members Wanted…’ In spite of everything that came next, Iain kept a diary during the voyage. This is it.
In this eclectic podcast about creativity and finding a way through, host Joanna Neary chats with fellow artist, comedian and writer Anna Keirle about a handful of their common interests. It was meant to be a book review podcast on ‘Don’t Look Now and Other Stories’ by Daphne Du Maurier but they both forgot. The resulting conversation is rather more diverse. From the joy and ease of starting to create, to the rubbishness of being a girl and on finding inspiration from the people around us and the land beneath our feet. A love story to Cornwall, rock pools and finding a way to look after ourselves.
