It's like a dirty secret. A place where musicians and artists talk about the kind of stuff they love to talk about, but their girlfriends / boyfriends don't. We'll be chatting to amazing and original creators around the world about new releases, how they think about what they do, whether robots will kill us all and if peyote is as good on cornflakes as on Rice Crispies... that kinda thing.. 

Blood harmonies. Ayahuasca. Sleeping on flop house floors... singer-songwriter, playwright and novelist Michael Patrick Flanagan Smith takes us on a journey from New York to Kentucky via a small 'fairly dangerous' oil town in North Dakota. On the way we hear his metaphysical musings on the the sentience of words, the re-enchantment of the world and the research behind his new novel, based on his raw, travelling memoirs. Plus we get a selection of his latest, covid-era songs, performed LIVE for Beautiful Tornado!!
