Join West Country creatives (and self-proclaimed wafflers) writer Louisa Adjoa Parker and musician Gary Pickard as we get together for a good old waffle over coffee. Each weekly episode we dive deep into real-talk, no-holds-barred conversation as we discuss the challenges of being freelance creatives, whilst sharing inspirational, sad and funny stories from our lives. Sometimes we have guests to waffle with! Sometimes we get over-excited and interrupt each other (especially Louisa). The Waffle Show is unscripted, unpolished and unfiltered, and you'll gain genuine insights about what a creative's life can be like as well as hearing about challenges we've overcome. Grab a coffee, run a bath, or do what you do when listening to podcasts. We hope you enjoy - please consider rating, reviewing, following or sharing this podcast with others if you do. Thank you so much for listening!    **Content warning: strong (sometimes historical/discriminatory) language and sensitive themes including racism, abuse, drug use, mental ill health and bereavement – listener discretion advised**   Follow Gary on Instagram: @pickard_gary Follow Louisa on Instagram: @louisaadjoaparker

Episode 5: Gary’s haunted flat & what it’s really like to lose a parent

Welcome to episode five of The Waffle Show, with West Country creatives (and self-proclaimed wafflers) writer Louisa Adjoa Parker and musician Gary Pickard. In this ep we continue to share stories from our lives but it's a tough one, and a little different to other eps. In part 1 Gary tells the story of living in a haunted flat for over a decade, and in part 2 we discuss what it’s really like to lose a parent.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
