We're not doing anything, trying to promote any agendas or anything like that, but I'm super curious about your point of view on things.

Well, it's absolutely in my wheelhouse.

It's a...

Unfortunately, the freedom of speech conversation has pushed lots of liberal left-wing people who used to be progressive and things like that, which is me, into this bizarre place in the centre where, but also I get called far right for wanting to be able to express myself.

You know, it's happened before.

And it's like this is a crunching of the media against creatives.

Lots of creatives are very... anxious about it, and they make work about it.

Where did your conscience come from? Where did the conscience that you have the, uh, the, this ability to do this, where did that come from? Where was it inspired by?

Hi, this is Sean B.W. Parker from the south coast of England in Sussex.

I'm a writer, artist, musician and academic.

I've written nine books and contributed to four more.

Cultural Studies, Poetry and Justice Reform.

And in terms of the question, how do I get unstuck and overcome obstacles? I tend to have a multipurpose notebook, which is a diary, a big thick one with big pages on which any idea I get at any hour of the day, I will scribble in there.

And whether it's a lyric or interesting phrase, idea for a painting, all of the color of thoughts that creatives have all the time, half can fly away and half can stay.

[gentle music] Chapter 2, The Tudor Poltergeist, with Sean B.W. Parker.

Hi.

I'm, um, Sean B.W. Parker.

I'm a writer and artist, a- and, and I live on the s- the south coast of UK in a county called Sussex.

I'm a natural skeptic, uh, was all my life, um, until 2016, when I had, had a paranormal experience at a arts venue I was running, and, um, I, I was haunted by a poltergeist.

In, in 2016, I had, uh, with a couple of partners, opened up an arts venue, um, here on the Sussex coast, and it was in an old Tudor building.

And the Tudor era in Britain is a few hundred years ago, and all the houses are all the black and white and very historical, so it was kind of rickety.
