S01E03 Time is Everything

Jelly Trumpet

09/15/21 • 31 min

In the third episode the show delves into the value of time discipline. Sounds a mite dull? Well you’re wrong. You could call it a ‘secret to being creative’ but that would be ‘clickbait’ and that makes me grit my teeth and wish to pour warm marmalade up the writer’s nose (yes, they would have to be held upside down first).

Creativity and being creative shouldn’t be taken too seriously. Did you know that 94% of comedians are 87% cleverer than fish? Yes. A lot of stuff doesn’t make sense online but Jelly Trumpet does. Why? Years of experience and a willingness to be silly every moment and for every breath on this planet.

Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:

How the literal world means you could be drinking a Scotch Egg
Nigel, the drummer performs his first solo
We meet Henk van Mann, Professor of Liquid Creativity
We talk Jungian archetypes, well a little bit

And I share stuff. In this episode I experience darkness and how to avoid the pits, wells, and puddles of despair that comes from creative intent.

You Are Your Own Medicine
‘You are Your Own Medicine’ is all about keeping a journal. The journal becomes your coach.

We’re all about the use of your time for the best in this episode. If you write and you find it difficult to start then pay attention to ‘setting a time to write’. This is hardcore. I suspect not many will be able to do it. But from my experience it works if you are persistent. I am also sure it works for any creative discipline. You just have to put in the graft.

In short, in this episode:

02:18 You Are Your Own Medicine
05:03 Challenge at Home,preparation & incubation plus ‘the compost heap’
07:46 Creative Hero Time, Eddie Izzard and the art of reincorporation
10:17 Guest Spot, with Jess King, actor & teacher

Guest Spot: Jess King, actor

11:35 Earliest creative memory
13:38 What influences you?
15:12 Documenting every audition and job
18:24 The Scowling Dusk
19:56 Which three things wouldn’t you take to a desert island?

Plus:

23:10 Challenge Jim, 10 ideas for plays featuring mice
24:30 Tot Topic, writing deadlines and self care
26:43 List of The Week, Jungian character types
28:29 Further Thinking Spot, Bored Panda

29:26 Music from ‘We Paint Houses’, ‘Don’t Take Me Home’

31:50 Ends
Guest Spot – Jess King, actor

We talk to the talented Jess King. I’ve had the joy of performing on stage with Jess, she saved my bacon every night. Jess is also a teacher, singer and dancer, plus working in the movies. We have a insightful conversation about creativity for an actor.

S0210 Reverse Part II

Jelly Trumpet

03/30/23 • 32 min

Putting on a podcast is far, far, far from simple. This is especially so when your techie sends the podcast back in time, 19th century England to be exact, to a dark and mysterious house.

The boys do hook up with Sherlock Holmes and a drunk Dr Watson to solve the disappearance of a member of the Japanese royal family. Who is the evil genius behind the abduction? Will Jim and Mr b’s knees survive the stairs? Does Queen Eleanor manage to keep the boys alive?

Interview Countdown – 12 Questions in 12 Minutes

In this episode, our talented guest is Lou Wallace, a drama teacher and so much more. I’ve worked with Lou in the theatre. Lou is a talented performer and director. Such a joy to be her ‘stage husband’ and be a small cog in her production of ‘The Red Shoes’, perhaps my favourite theatre experience, a talented company, behind the stage and on stage.

Strap in, align your ears and melt into the off-beat world of Jelly Trumpet, the comedy podcast about creativity.

S02E12 Bonus – Sacha Mandel Interview

Jelly Trumpet

04/28/23 • 12 min

We extend our 12 questions in 12 minutes with Sacha Mandel, a creator.
Sacha is also a Product Development Manager at Grantify.
Sacha originally trained as an actor. His purpose in life is to inspire people to be creative. He knows first-hand how difficult it is to lead a life of creativity. He also has a deep understanding of how to help creatives fundraise for their projects.
All in all a very worthwhile chap to know!

S01E05 Trailer - The 8-Bit Edition

Jelly Trumpet

11/13/21 • 0 min

Listen to some of the highlights of Jelly Trumpet Episode 5.

A listener writes: 'Part Mighty Boosh, part Skillshare, this is a podcast like no other...'

In this trailer we learn that Mr b likes to multitask by playing online games, toasting crumpets on his computer and when he gets round to it, making a podcast.
Jelly Trumpet is a comedy podcast about creativity. It's packed with silly surreal humour interspersed with practical advice, exercises and tips to make you as creative as possible.

Enjoy!

SO209 Trailer – Reverse Part I

Jelly Trumpet

02/15/23 • 0 min

A smudge of ideas around our slightly disgruntled crew.
Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine is slightly disgruntled about the inability of Mr b to steer the Jelly Trumpet podcast back to 12th-century France (that's before it was France).
Mr b is disgruntled because of all the mysteries in the world he has not uncovered.
We think Jim is disgruntled due to the accusation that he has been drink-writing.
Enjoy the taste of Jelly Trumpet...flavour!

S02E10 Bonus – Lou Wallace Interview

Jelly Trumpet

04/07/23 • 12 min

In this bonus episode, I chat with one of my favourite people, Lou Wallace.

I’ve had the pleasure of acting with Lou on stage and being directed by her in the best pieces of physical theatre I’ve been involved with, ‘The Red Shoes.’

Our bonus conversation takes in one of the theatre's greats, Emma Rice.

Stay creative good people...

S0213 Trailer – What if? Part I

Jelly Trumpet

05/11/23 • 0 min

What's this? Nigel the resident bongo-playing (giant) red Squrriel is missing.
Only Sherlock Holmes (currently living in a cupboard in the Jelly Trumpet studio) understands why.
More madness foreshadowing the epic final two episodes of Jelly Trumpet season 2.
Huzzah!

S0208 Trailer – Rearrange Part II

Jelly Trumpet

02/01/23 • 0 min

In this trailer we find that Jim,, Mr b and Queen Eleanor are still, on Treasure Island.
Our gallant crew are trying to outrun ‘Little Red Riding Hood’ and her super sharp axe. What on earth is she doing on Treasure Island? “Gulp!”

Just who is that wearing a red riding hood and what will she do with that shiny axe?
Will we ever know what Mr b's orange button does?

S01E01 The Pilot

Jelly Trumpet

09/15/21 • 32 min

Welcome to the very first episode of Jelly Trumpet, the podcast for creatives; tricks, tip and ideas to expand your imagination. Jelly Trumpet is a fun and not too serious podcast which goes way, way beyond the simplistic ‘How to be Creative’ blog post loved by many tired content writers.

Dive in for silly, surreal and odd interludes, o’ and some great music from the house band ‘We Paint Houses.’

Stuff We’ll Hear in this Episode:

The famous glacier in Watford
Why we need a fourth traffic light
What if the United States of America finally invaded the United Kingdom?
We meet Arthur-Maurice ‘Butcher to the Stars’ (giving the lowdown on Rita Ora)

And I share stuff I’ve done as a creative writer in ‘Stuff I’ve Done’ interlude.
You Are Your Own Medicine

We’ll be tackling the core of this season’s help for creative types and that is ‘You are Your Own Medicine’. We’ll be encouraging you to take the ‘Challenge at Home’ and we have a guest spot in each episode that enquires of each person what makes them tick, where their ideas come from and their one magic tip that makes them the creative person they are.

All this and utter daftness, where, I, yes Jim gets challenged live on air with a creative exercise (spoiler, I may cheat depending on the amount of coffee in my system), we look at a hot topic to do with creativity and we have a ‘List of the Week’ everyone loves lists eh?

In short, in this episode:

01:54 You Are Your Own Medicine
04:53 Challenge at Home, Wildmind
08:33 Creative Hero Time, Michael Bentine
11:31 Guest Spot, with Mr b from ‘We Paint Houses’

Guest Spot: Mr b, from ‘We Paint Houses’

12:23 Logic Pro
13:50 Writing Down the Bones, ‘The Compost Heap’
18:49 Why getting the bass down is important
20:45 ‘What do you do when stuck?’
23:28 ‘What would you tell a 10 year old about how to be creative?

Plus:

24:53 Challenge Jim
26:38 Hot Topic
28:14 List of the Week, Top 10 Animated Movies
29:22 Further Thinking Spot
30:20 Music from ‘We Paint Houses’ play ‘Breathe’

36:36 Ends
Guest Spot – Mr b of ‘We Paint Houses’

Well, this is a pilot and Mr b was around so I thought I’d interview him. Why? He’s highly creative and has a rather unique way of working on his music projects.
We hope you love it and leave a review or follow us on social media.
If you don't like it then please keep schtum eh?
