CONVERSATIONS FROM THE BARN
Everwood Farmstead Foundation is an arts non-profit located on a century-old farm in the bucolic Driftless Zone of Western Wisconsin. We host inspiring spaces for artists to perform (Artist Series), teach (Artist Workshops) and work (Artist Retreat) in a natural environment. We focus on the artists' experience because we know when they are happy, healthy and nurtured, it is good for everyone. Every day, their job is to find fresh language for the human experience. As a result, healing and restoration is possible for our communities. In this podcast, we host brief and informal conversations with artists that visit our farm. They'll share about their experiences at Everwood, the projects that are exciting them, and the insights they're gaining along the way.
FUTILE ATTEMPTS (AT SURVIVING TOMORROW)
Life's rubbish. However artist, comedian and manic depressive Kim Noble has just bought a microphone and he's decided to make a podcast (like every other loser). Over ten episodes, we join Kim on a surreal and hilarious sonic journey. In a podcast unlike anything you've heard before, Kim's quest to discover what makes life worth living takes him to Sting's mansion, down a sewer, underneath a church altar and into the arms of a Hounslow-based cult. Futile Attempts (At Surviving Tomorrow) is written and presented by Kim Noble. The producer is Benbrick. The series is produced by Novel. www.novel.audio Created by Kim Noble. www.futileattempts.com

MARK THOMAS’S LOCKDOWN CHECK
Comedian and activist Mark Thomas has moved back in with his mum for the duration of the pandemic. He’s 57 and she’s 85. He says she’s curmudgeonly; she says he’s the most aggravating person on the planet. In this six-part podcast, he reflects on their lockdown life together while investigating the wider impact of COVID-19. Every night, Mark calls health and care workers across the country for a chat. Humbling and often heartbreaking, these conversations reveal what life is like on the coronavirus front line.
