Tea & Empathy Episode 1 - Ricky

Welcome to the Stupid Hearts Club! The Club for everyone with a Stupid Heart

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

Hello everyone

As promised in the last solo episode here is the first episode of one of my new spin-off series ideas. Tea and Empathy. This will be a monthly event where I sit in a cafe and 'someone' turns up and chats to be about whatever it is they have going on, or is on their mind. It's all about having non-judgmental, empathetic conversations with people we might not otherwise engage with deeply, if at all.


In this opening episode I asked a guy called Ricky who sometimes is in a co-working space I use if he was up for telling me about what he gets up to while I am titting about doing podcast bits and hustling for coin.


I genuinely ended up learning and thinking about a few things I didn't know and hadn't thought about before, and it was nice to get a lil sharey time with someone I usually just nod at over my laptop.


This is very much an attempt to remind myself and others that when we talk to each other in real life, away from the bearpit of social media and the internet, that it leaves room for a bit more humanity, and empathy, especially if there's a nice cup of tea involved.


Hopefully together we can grow our little community into a fun and wholesome space that is exciting and creative and above all, positive.


I want everyone to have a chance to listen to this first episode to see if it's something that's your bag, but going forward Tea & Empathy episodes are going to be just for my lovely folks on Patreon. If you enjoy it and/or fancy supporting what we're doing with the show, maybe come check it out!


Big love ya'll

About the Podcast

Stupid Hearts Club
Everyone with a stupid heart is welcome here!
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!
