    I’m of some advanced years, so I don’t know all of the bands - but that’s an education. I love the format, and ethos!

  • Amazing podcast for musicians

    Giles is a fantastic interviewer. The conversations are flowing and he easily brings them back to the theme of the podcast. As a musician it’s so valuable to hear everyone’s perspectives and still be entertained and inspired. We often listen to the episodes on tour and discuss after. Keep it up!

    A fantastic and original idea for a podcast.

    Attended the second session with Joe Talbot of Idles and it was set in the fabulous setting of Signature Brew. A very enjoyable listen and a thoroughly enjoyable evening.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Stewart Lee - "I left comedy for five years and started again"
Q: How did you decide to return to performance and what guided that transition?
I shifted away from expensive, high-risk productions to tightly planned tours of about 100 seats, guided by a need to communicate big ideas without accruing insurmountable debt, and I re-centered on shows that could be funded and sustainable.
Stewart Lee - "I left comedy for five years and started again"
Q: What did you do during your five-year gap when you stepped away from touring?
I wrote record reviews for the Sunday Times, worked on Jerry Springer, the Opera in various capacities, and gradually rebuilt my approach to making work that was both financially viable and substantively meaningful.
Stop & Chat: Hand Habits' Meg Duffy
Q: What was your frame of mind about writing Hand Habits while wrapping up other projects?
I aimed to write and develop Hand Habits while keeping doors open to other projects; it was about long-term persistence and not rushing the process.
Stop & Chat: Hand Habits' Meg Duffy
Q: Did that natural talent for bold interaction in social settings come from all the part-time jobs you've done?
Yes, working in service industries helped me learn how to talk to people, manage a room, and handle different personalities, which translates to stage presence and collaboration.
Stop & Chat: Hand Habits' Meg Duffy
Q: How did you approach the big move to pursue music full-time?
I moved to Los Angeles in 2015 after joining Kevin Morby's band, used it as a platform to connect with other musicians, and gradually built Hand Habits alongside session work and collaborations.
