Tonic Pop
Art is the ultimate motivator. Think of that song, that book, that film, that painting, that poem etc. that stimulated your senses, aroused your passions, shoved you out the door with the force of 7 Samurai. This is the podcast where we take a swig of tonic from the limitless depths of pop and literary fiction, visual art, movies, music, poetry and more. Sometimes I monologue, sometimes I ramble, sometimes I dialogue sometimes we gambol. It's all good stuff - chug it back.
