Frank Turner

This week marks three years since the world went into lockdown following the global outbreak of COVID-19. I've been thinking about that strange and surreal time quite a bit recently, and now feels like the right time to share this series of interviews that I did during the first lockdown period for my supporters over on Patreon. I spent a whole month uploading a new episode every weekday, and for each episode I was joined by past podcast guests and friends of the show. We spoke about our mutual lockdown experiences and attempted to make sense of everything that was going on at that time, and each guest handpicked a five-song playlist to the end of the world, hence the name of the series: Soundtrack Apocalypse. I've renamed them The Covid Tapes here. I hope you enjoy this peculiar little trip down memory lane. It still feels like a bit of a dream/nightmare doesn't it?!? Thank "whoever" it's all over now. I'm very thankful to be working again. And I'm extremely grateful to everyone who supported me during this time, especially the Patreon crew without whom I never would've made it. Thank you.

This week my guest is the English punk/folk singer-songwriter Frank Turner. Having made 2 albums over four years with post-hardcore band Million Dead, Turner decided to go-it-alone in 2005. He released various EPs and albums while touring and building his profile. In early 2011 Turner released his fourth studio album, and made the step up to the main stage at Reading & Leeds later that year. Spring 2012 brought Frank Turner’s sell-out headline show at Wembley Arena to a 12,000 strong audience. To date, Turner has released nine solo albums, Turner's ninth and most recent studio album, FTHC was released in February 2022 and reached number #1 in the UK albums chart in the week following its release.We talk about the origins of the song "Miranda", which tells the story of how Frank's father has transitioned and is now living as a transgender woman. The track's lyrics discuss his and Miranda's previously tumultuous relationship and how they began to reconcile following her transition. We also discuss the song "A Wave Across A Bay" which is a tribute to his late friend Scott Hutchison from the band Frightened Rabbit.You can find more information about Frank by following him on Instagram / Twitter @frankturnerFor more information about the charity Tiny Changes visit https://tinychanges.com/Music featured in this episode:'Miranda' by Frank Turner (Listen here: https://bit.ly/3CvEJr2 )'A Wave Across A Bay' by Frank Turner (Listen here: https://bit.ly/3Xjwqqu )Feels Like Healing is a show where I talk to creative people about how grief and trauma has shaped their art.These conversations are here to show how those who have suffered loss have found comfort and solace through the act of being creative and how creativity can help us all better understand our grief and reach a place of healing.If you'd like to be in the audience for the special live episode of Feels like Healing at St John's Church in Cardiff on Wednesday 25th January.You can reserve your place now (free of charge) by visiting https://feelslikehealing.eventbrite.co.uk::You can follow Feels Like Healing on Instagram / Twitter / Facebook @flhpodcastProduced / Edited by Al LewisTheme music by Al Lewis Hosted on Acast.

Books about tidying, music and addiction, and a desire to write are this week's choices.

Frank Turner talks The Most Trusted Man In Music through every track on his ninth studio album. As Frank discusses this is a bit of a ‘back to the start’ record, with him producing songs for it that are heavier than previous albums. Enjoy listening to everything that Mr Turner has to say to John about this album!

Released in 2019, this is Frank’s eighth studio album and saw him put out an album telling the stories of 13 different women. Hear John Kennedy get into the background behind the whole album and what made Frank Turner decide to do a record that was unlike any other.

This week, we're throwing it back to April of 2021, when Frank Turner stopped by for Episode 46. He and Chris discussed the 2013 single "Recovery", a fan favorite song with a relatable (and somewhat hilarious) backstory.Check out http://www.ChrisDeMakes.com to join the Chris DeMakes A Podcast Supporting Cast.
