Last Year A DJ Saved My Life

I’ve always loved music (who doesn’t?!) and during the peak lockdown of early the Covid Times™ I got guilelessly and guiltlessly into the random “30-day music challenge” choices that friends, family, and faceless internet chums were posting.

I wanted to hear more about what they chose and why… and I really wanted to have something I could talk about on Zoom calls that would actually be worth the oxygen (memes are no fun when you talk about them!)

And lo, a podcast was born. Ta-da!

Episode 6: Declan Murphy

This week's guest is Declan Murphy. A finance wonk, part-time poet, full-time provocateur and one of my very, very best friends.

For many year, our nights out at the end of a busy week were something I relied on to help blow off some steam and looked forward to, always. Having been kept apart for almost two years now because of the seemingly never ending Panini… well, let’s just say I’m very much looking forward to the next one.

However, our conversation about Declan’s music choices for the pandemic and beyond was a really gorgeous taste of what I can look forward to, Or a foreshadowing. Who’s to say?!

His choices were a brilliant reflection of who he is: eclectic, intelligent, mildly subversive and 100% gorgeous.

It’s not a short episode, but it is a fun one. Complete with bonus nonsense at the end (if you can hang on that long).

I really hope you enjoy listening to this week’s episode even a fraction as much as I enjoyed recording it.

As ever, we can't play the music we discuss, for rights reasons, but you can find his playlist here or on the website. I hope you'll listen and enjoy.
