Mr Griggs in the Garden

Welcome to Stupid Hearts Club. The Podcast Community for everyone with a creative, open, loving, romantic and gloriously stupid heart!

-------------------

Hello you lot

I am talking to friend and fellow exhausted comedy-writer Alistair Griggs.

If you have been following me a long time you will know that Griggs and I like to have quite, dark, explorative and sometimes bleak conversations. This one took place whilst sitting in the rather glorious gardens of a North London flat I was looking after while some other pals were away. Linda had a nice rest and I actually missed her.

As a rule, Griggs doesn't usually connect with nature, or sentiment or, well anything at all really, as you will hear. But i believe something wonderful happened here and as the chat progressed he grudgingly accepted, ever so briefly, just a sliver of light.

Enjoy and remember. It's good to talk.

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby

About the Podcast

Stupid Hearts Club
The podcast community for the stupid hearted!
I'm Nico. Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club Podcast. Allow me tell you a little about the show....

In Summer 2021 after having such lovely feedback from Matt Morgans gorgeous Patrons I decided to start my very own podcast. It started out exclusively here on Patreon, but now it's out in the wild for everyone to hear! I initially called it GSOH and I (usually) delivered one podcast per week. It has become a really cool thing in my life and my community of patrons are legends who give lots of me ace feedback and love. And it helps me support my creative endeavours during the peaks and troughs of the TV comedy world, (script writing is my main 'job').

Since then I have doing lots of music with the name Stupid Hearts Club, and as I am going to be out and about trying to pull people into enjoying all of 'my stuff' I thought I would re-brand (puke) my podcast as Stupid Hearts Club too in the hope of pulling in the odd new listener. Is that YOU? If so Hello, come in, sit down.

You might be wondering what having a 'Stupid Heart' is. Well it can mean many things. It might mean you have a silly sense of humour, and like titting about and being naughty. (which is what this show is) It might mean that you are a hopeless romantic fool despite all the terrible evidence that love is a cruel joke that pokes you in your stupid heart (which is what all my songs are). Either way everyone with a stupid heart is welcome here.

The podcast itself will still be me having a laugh with another person I have met along the way, whether they are funny, interesting, daft, or just plain adorable. But I won't just chat to comedy people anymore. And I will *usually* put a little Stupid Hearts Club tune or cover at the end of the episode.

I'll shut up now. But whatever you are here for, thanks for coming along!

Stupid Hearts Club Forever Baby!
