About The Uninvited Podcast

Creative paths are rarely linear. There's no official entrance, no rulebook, and no guarantee you'll ever feel like you're truly on the list. The UN/INVITED was born from a personal story — a party crashed in Milan, an unexpected runway, and the realisation that the creative world has no set way in. Each episode, Michele sits down with a creative voice to explore their journey, from feeling uninvited to shaping the industry on their own terms. Some found the door. Some built one. Some decided they didn't need one at all. Every journey is different. Every story is worth hearing.

episode The After Party...with Derek Ridgers artwork

The After Party...with Derek Ridgers

After five decades capturing the people and scenes that shape culture from the inside, documentary photographer Derek Ridgers' idea of the ultimate party is simple: travel back in time, straight to the 14 Hour Technicolour Dream at Alexandra Palace in 1967. The legendary all-night psychedelic happening Derek attended firsthand, where Pink Floyd, The Soft Machine, and The Pretty Things played for a counterculture crowd through the night, with John Lennon reportedly somewhere in the room. From his rules on crashing a party (and the few times he was kicked out), to anecdotes about Cannes nights with very different outcomes, to the day he felt like a VIP on a private jet with Depeche Mode, only to take the bus home, Derek reminds us that it's all about the balance. The best nights aren't always the glamorous ones, and he's seen it all (and documented even more).

Getting Past the Velvet Rope with… Derek Ridgers. The photographer who always felt a little uninvited

Let's get past the velvet rope with… Derek Ridgers. A photographer whose images have defined some of the most iconic subcultures of the last five decades, from punk and skinheads to new romantics and the legendary clubs of 1980s London. And yet, as he told us from the very start, he has always felt a bit uninvited. In this episode, Derek shares how he became a photographer entirely by chance, picking up a camera while working as an art director, and walking into a concert where people simply assumed he was a professional because he had one. We discuss the persistence that has defined his career, including the first time he was turned away from the Blitz Club and went back anyway. We also explore one of the most fascinating ideas to emerge from this conversation: the illusion that photographers create. When a room is full of ordinary people and a photographer captures the four or five most interesting ones, those images become the historical record, and years later, we mistake them for the whole truth. And along the way, there is also the small matter of Freddie Mercury stealing his first girlfriend at school. No big deal! An honest conversation about outsiders, persistence, and the stories that cameras tell — and the ones they don't.

episode The After Party with...Matteo Augello artwork

The After Party with...Matteo Augello

Matteo's dream party needs no velvet rope, just the South of Italy, family, friends, and nothing that takes itself too seriously. Though if time travel were on the table, they'd have gate-crashed Paul Poiret's The Thousand and Two Nights in a heartbeat. Paris, 24th of June 1911. A Persian orchestra, parrots perched in trees wrapped in thousands of sparkling lights, pink ibis, multicoloured pillows — and the world premiere of the harem pants and the lampshade dress. A party so extraordinary it made fashion history before the night was over. Taylor Swift, on the other hand, is not making the cut. In any playlist, either. And from someone who has felt like the uninvited guest at a few too many institutional events, Matteo understands the velvet rope from both sides.

Getting Past the Velvet Rope with… Matteo Augello. Curating Italian fashion, gate-crashing academia, and please judge this book by its cover

Let's get past the velvet rope with… Matteo Augello. A fashion historian, curator, lecturer, and performer, Matteo has built a career at the intersection of academia and spectacle, where theory meets theatrics and the archive meets the stage. In this episode, we explore how a deep love of pop culture became the lens through which Matteo approaches fashion history — including using Britney Spears as a guide to write a dissertation. We discuss what it truly means to make fashion legible, and how dressing up for lectures in outfits that directly relate to the topic at hand is never just a matter of style. But perhaps the most quietly radical thing Matteo has done is appear on the cover of their own academic book — because they are the embodiment of the ideas inside it. Not provocation for its own sake, but simply the most honest representation. A conversation about pop culture as a serious lens, visibility as a statement, and what it looks like to carve out a path entirely your own.

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.
