Public Showering Ep. 23: The Comp Specials | Lisa Hammond Pt.1

12/11/22 • 54 min

It’s not surprising that at some point my best buddy Lisa Hammond would grace the airwaves of PS, but we’re not just sharing banter. Currently in her second year of her Masters in Psychology from Derby University, I wanted to get Lisa so she’s can flex her pysc muscles and talk to us about the reasons we feel the way we do about competition. The anxiety, the reasons that motivate us to do it, even our animal instincts behind it.

Public Showering Ep 22: The Comp Specials | Stacey Snedden Pt.1

Stacey Snedden. Possibly the most well-known and respected competition organisers in the UK talks to us about her first time enjoying the scrutiny of the judges, and her unrivalled passion for pole. Having lead some of the most prestigious comps in the country, including Pole Theatre UK and Pole Art, she’s seen the industry closeup and personal for over 18 years. She’s seen it all: dogs on stage, cream pies and all the tricks anyone could possibly get their heads around, and now she’s gotten a whole new lust for life as a competitor herself. It was an honour to chat with her, so, grab yourself an hour, and let’s hear it!

So I thought it’s time to talk to the person behind it all. In this episode, I’m getting to the know the fast paced, giggly and energetic Jade, and warming you up for Ep 2...where we really get into the nitty gritty.
