Creative Podcast Rob Rider Hill Fool's Errand Magician Musician Writer and Chef

Rob Rider Hill is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, magical practitioner, writer and editor. He also spent 21  years as chef, plus 5-6 years music, sound engineering, event promotion

But is now focused on "magic, music and literary pursuits" - quieter, more sedentary life

We discuss creativity emerged from combination of outdoor exploration and enforced alone time (sent to room as punishment)

Rob talks about his writing in two modes: sedentary (cafes, pubs, trains) where scenery moves around you, and mobile (walking)

Lots of very deep psychological and magical thinking in this episode.
