Beschreibung

Listen to this bite-size, family themed episode with Heather’s Nan, Wendy Benn. Wendy tells her story of a bohemian lifestyle whilst growing up in 60s and 70s London. Led by one of the most true and authentic forms of self-expression - dancing - in my nan’s case, to traditional Jazz during her Beatnik days. We record in the garden during the summer of 2020. Cover illustration of Wendy and a dancing partner, aged approximately 17. Artwork and interview by Heather Waterfield.

6 | Azua Echevarria on Eccentricity, first official Video Podcast Interviewed by Heather Waterfield.

Welcome to episode six of The Wacky Podcast, which is accompanied by a video if you wish to watch as well as listen! Trigger Warning: this content addresses topics relating to mental health. Cover star of Wacky Zine The Eccentricity Issue 2020, artist and healer Azua, is a true inspiration, living by example through everything she does, says and wears. Azua is led by and in connection with spirit and nature above all, and in 2024 she is living her dream exploring an off-grid, sustainable lifestyle with her partner, Toni. This conversation was recorded in the summer of 2020 via video call, which was in the height of the pandemic. I feel lucky to have been able to interview Azua across the world in the USA especially during such a time of isolation for many, her words and energy have contributed to my own journey of self-exploration and connection to spirit. Listen to (and watch) our uplifting and deep conversation as we discuss themes relating to eccentricity, self-expression and how Azua's attitude and way of living contributes positively to her mental health, and of course, overall well-being.
