If you didn't already know I host the  'Skateboarder And...' podcast, a monthly slice of skateboarding culture, creativity and goodness.  It comes out every first Sunday of the month and as today is Sunday the 5th of February, the new episode is here!

This episode I got to sit down with skateboarder and stand up comedian Mike Dryburgh.

We talk about his earky days as a hip hop Ed Sheran when he opened for Dj Yoda, Ugly Duckling and even De La Soul. Hustling at Edinburgh Festival, his upcoming one man show and much more!

To find out more about Mike Dryburgh hit him up via Twitter on @MikeDryburgh or book tickets for his new show here http://comedy-festival.co.uk/event/mike-drop-the-adventures-of-a-one-man-band/

Firstly congratulations to Stuart Hancock who took home a British Composer Award last week for his excellent work on 'Snapshot Songs'. This means the work will be getting some coverage over the next few days which includes my poem 'This City' being performed with an 80 deep choir and a full orchestra!

The awards ceremony is going to be broadcast on BBC Radio 3 on the Hear and Now programme at 10pm this Saturday (12th). Stuart's was the third of ten awards – you’ll hear his acceptance speech and the first two minutes’ worth of a compilation (covering excerpts of ‘This City’ / Mat Lloyd, ‘Bulletin 1’ / Kieron Rennie, and ‘Black Dog’ / Kate Donnachie, Bobbi Leet) and later in the show, an interview he did with the presenter at the after-party.

Finally BBC Three Counties Radio will be talking to Stuart about Snapshot Songs next Wednesday the 16th. He'll be on the Nick Coffer around 1.15 – and will hopefully get to play a song or two!

I still count my blessings that my work was chosen for the project and will not forget sitting in a sold out Barbican hearing it for the first time.

Both should be available to catch up on iPlayer if you miss them.

Finally after a long wait 'The Cracks and Curbs EP' is a reality.  My second official collection since 'Demo Tape' in 2009.  This limited edition comes signed and bagged with a selection of stickers direct from my hands.  This is the only way to get this edition as once it hits independent book stores and AMAZON it'll just be the standard book.
