Sound Affects Podcast: Music & Mental Health, with Katy GeorgiouEpisode 6: Managing rockstars, with Alan McGeeMusic industry exec Alan McGee has witnessed the moving tide of the music industry over the last 30 years. Given that he's worked with some of the most notorious rock stars in history – including Bobby Gillespie, Liam Gallagher, Pete Doherty and Shaun Ryder – I was curious to know what cumulative mental health impact this has all had on him over time. His stories of drugs and excess are often passed with humour and anecdotal charm, but dig deeper, and I'm in touch with a haunting tale beneath – a world of self-harm, heroine, overdoses and childhood abuse. I wanted to pau...2019-08-0438 min

Sound Affects Podcast: Music & Mental Health, with Katy GeorgiouEpisode 4: The Music Industry Therapist Collective, with therapist John BassettIn this episode, I speak to psychotherapist John Bassett from MITC (Music Industry Therapist Collective). All therapists in MITC began with fruitful careers within the music industry before retraining in therapy. They worked for record labels, in artist and tour management, A&R, or, as in the case of John, as sales and marketing reps for labels and music companies. They have first-hand, lived experience of the environment, and are now using that knowledge to educate, offer support and guidance, and cross-refer anyone in need of help. John and I explore the endemic culture within the industry...2019-05-0953 min

Sound Affects Podcast: Music & Mental Health, with Katy GeorgiouInterlude: are we 4 Real?The rock n roll romance. Sex, drugs, rock n roll. A common thread running through a rock star's narrative is emphasis on the drugs, the mayhem, the madness. We instinctively laugh along. You can hear it happen in this episode. But is it funny? 2017-12-2006 min

Sound Affects Podcast: Music & Mental Health, with Katy GeorgiouEpisode 2: Music and Cancer – with Brandon Arend (sensitive episode with details of PTSD and effects of chemotherapy)Caution: This episode discusses experiences with chemotherapy and the emotional effect of PTSD post recovery. Brandon is very open and explicit about the hardships of cancer. I have added a list of helplines and links beneath the episode. You may have already heard Brandon speak on the Oasis podcast. This time, he talks about how his fandom of bands like Oasis and The Beatles instilled in him a positive mindset attitude which he felt contributed to his recovery from cancer. It’s an interesting discussion that takes us from his sense of identity as a musician before an...2017-12-191h 30
