HOBO SAPIEN w/Grant Sharkey
Philosophy Podcasts
Wisdom comes from other people.
Comedian, musician and double bass playing troubadour Grant Sharkey, endlessly travels the UK. Meeting wonderful minds in all walks of life that he learns from.
Each episode focuses on one such person in Grant's sphere that brings something new, a travelog of where he is at the moment, a little current affairs and comedy, plus some music from the back catalogue, guests or from future releases.
The aim of this podcast is to look to others to help define ourselves - we'll meet musicians, clowns, political rivals, spiritual gurus and super-regular extraordinary individuals all of whom have something important to say, whether they know it or not.
Hobo - traveling worker.
Sapien - wise.
-----
Grant Sharkey is on a mission to write, record, release and tour an album every 6 months for a period of 20 years. At the time of writing he's 14 albums in to the project.

Hobo Soapybums!
11/17/2020
Ive just noticed the podcast has had over 10,000 listens in it's life. Thank you so much!
I'm on track to get the book finished and then I can focus on something else - all in a bid to displace the energy I'd be putting into touring if there wasn't a pesky rona going about.
FEELING GOOD and ready to birthday next week. :)

Calm Down
9/29/2020
Good morning, Hobo Sapiens.
I've had a break and now it's time to think out-loud again. This year has not been the most enjoyable for people with my sort of work - we're all trying to work out how relevant we are as to how relevant we feel - and the two very rarely meet up. This is a re-cap of what's been happening in the break and what's to come - including recording album 16/40: Calm Down! this weekend coming and doing a live stream show on FB on Thursday 01st October.
