We kick off Second Self with a conversation with my fellow Limerickian, author, artist and podcaster Blindboy Boatclub. In this episode we discuss Limerick (the good, bad and bizarre), the strangest city in Ireland (possibly the world), where we both grew up and where his surrealist outlook thrives, mental health, Jean Baudrillard, art, and living authentically while wearing a bag on your head.

Welcome to Second Self

Welcome to Second Self, the podcast about the self we inherit, and the one we create.

In this series, I’ll be having conversations with interesting people about the important ideas they’ve adopted and the ones they’ve moved away from through their lives. Though we live in an increasingly polarised landscape where ‘picking a side’ and digging your heels in is incentivised, Second Self is about intellectual curiosity, constructing your own individual identity, and when you need to, changing your mind.

In this introductory minisode, I introduce the logic behind Second Self.
