The Good Listening To Show: Stories of Distinction & Genius
"If you tell your Story 'out loud' then you're much more likely to LIVE it out loud" and that's what this show is for: To help you to tell your Story - 'get it out there' - and reach a large global audience as you do so. It's the Storytelling Show in which I invite movers, makers, shakers, mavericks, influencers and also personal heroes into a 'Clearing' (or 'serious happy place') of my Guest's choosing, to all share with us their stories of 'Distinction & Genius'. Think "Desert Island Discs" but in a 'Clearing' and with Stories rather than Music. Cutting through the noise of other podcasts, this is the storytelling show with the squirrels & the tree, from "MojoCoach", Facilitator & Motivational Comedian Chris Grimes. With some lovely juicy Storytelling metaphors to enjoy along the way: A Clearing, a Tree, a lovely juicy Storytelling exercise called '5-4-3-2-1', some Alchemy, some Gold, a couple of random Squirrels, a cheeky bit of Shakespeare, a Golden Baton and a Cake! So it's all to play for! "Being in 'The Good listening To Show' is like having a 'Day Spa' for your Brain!" So - let's cut through the noise and get listening!

The Good Listening To Show: Stories of Distinction & Genius
78 Welcome To The Clearing: Actor, Stan Laurel Look-a-Likey & Fellow Instant Witter - Nik Howden!
Ladies n' Genminiminminmin (er, min...) please welcome my lovely and good friend Nik Howden to "The Good Listening To: Your Life & Times with Me Chris Grimes!" Clearing!
Nik and I have been on stage together in a Comedy Improvisational capacity in INSTANT WIT (a Company which I co-run with Stephanie Weston) for the last many many years - plus we also have The Bristol Old Vic Theatre School in common, in that that's where we both trained as Actors - but at different times.
Nik is a lovely Actor and a wonderful Comedy Improvisation performer. He is also a Stan Laurel look-a-likey too! He even got to play my all time comic hero Stan Laurel in a BBC4 Film about Laurel & Hardy which he also talks about in this Episode too.
As an all round 'versatility pants' Nik is also a DJ and a Funerial Celebrant - as well as being a real dap-hand at DIY!
A lovely, most enjoyable and playful Episode indeed!
Marvellous!
