BTS with Vision of Sound Podcast
In August I launched Vision of Sound, a fortnightly podcast series in which I chat to other artists and creative people that make work about or inspired by music.
Guests include Jeremy Deller, Wumzum & George Nindi, Emma Warren and Lil Ye’s Ali Graham.
You might notice that while I am a music photographer, there are no music photographer’s mentioned, but do keep an eye on the next episode as they are on their way!
It had been a while since I had a consistent medium to channel my love for and interest in other artists and creative people- whom I’ve championed in various ways throughout my life via zines, or blogs or events. As a fan of podcasts and radio shows like Stance, Creative Rebels, London Scenery and George The Poet, audio seemed like the obvious way to do it.
It’s quite something to think that some years ago I wouldn't have dreamt of speaking about something so publicly, but having the opportunity to teach and give talks over the past few years had increased my confidence to the point where it’s now something I enjoy. At this point, over 2000 people have now listened to the podcast. Mad.
For any of you reading this and thinking I’d like to have a go at podcasting, I say go for it. For me there was a bit of a learning curve but that was very much smoothed out by talking to people like Creative Rebel’s David Speed, plus help and support from Clare Considine, Ian Phillips and Francis Redman; all of whom are involved with audio production in different ways.
Anyway, now we’re on our 5th episode (due this Wednesday 9th September) and we’ve had some really great feedback about the guests and the episodes, some lovely and often funny reviews (“Georgina Cook is Class”). Plus a couple of awesome press features on Vinyl Factory and Music Journalism Insider.
I’ve learnt a load of stuff already and if you listen in, I really hope you will too!

Below are some behind the scenes photos from recordings with the artist Jeremy Deller and Wumzum & George Nindi who are involved with Steamdown. Now, recording has changed and we’re doing everything via Zoom which makes things a bit easier but also in a way, not as fun cos we don’t really get to hang out and take pictures together!
