In this episode Bart and Anthony are joined by musician, poet agus ridire ceoil Ghaelaigh Rónán Ó Snodaigh to talk about the role of 'Discomfort' in our lives and in the creative process. We discuss the joys and pains of bringing a song out into the world, the value of self-reflection and relationship, conflict, uncertainty, knowledge, Leonard Cohen, Dolly Parton, where the good songs come from and how (hopefully) not to be a gobshite.

Intro / Outro music composed, recorded and performed by Bart and Anthony. If we are using a version with a particularly bitching guitar solo on it, that is being played by John Tracey and that version was also recorded and mixed by him.

Thanks a million!

Anthony and Bart
