He talks about making an award winning "terrible idea" podcast, his early career as a boy soprano, being an actor/musician, occasionally discarding the idea of weighing up the pros and cons of things (via a thought experiment about icecream), the history and future of comics, the influence of his grandfather on his life and so much more.\\n\\nSam does lots of things including making the Song By Song podcast which discusses the songs of Tom Waits in chronological order.\\n\\nSam plugs:\\n\\nSong By Song: http://www.songbysongpodcast.com/\\nhttps://twitter.com/songbysongpod\\n@SamPay: https://twitter.com/sampay\\nKey Theatre in Peterborough: Sleeping Beauty: https://www.vivacity-peterborough.com/whatson/theatre-and-arts/sleeping-beauty/\\nSong By Song Live: tomorrow: http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/comedy/song-by-song-a-podcast-about-tom-waits\\n\\nI plug:\\n\\nA workshop on Telling Personal Stories that I\'m co-running on Sunday: http://www.kingsplace.co.uk/whats-on/interact/telling-personal-stories\\n\\nDown to a sunless sea: memories of my dad: https://medium.com/@goosefat101/down-to-a-sunless-sea-memories-of-my-dad-d1d2d3a61360\\n\\nThe Family Tree: http://thefamilytreepodcast.co.uk/\\n\\nWe mention:\\n\\nMartin Zaltz Austwick: http://www.martinzaltzaustwick.com/\\nAward Winning: https://www.britishpodcastawards.com/winners/\\nTom Waits: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tom_Waits\\nPodcaster Support Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/571436979623574/\\nCORRECTION: The album we talked about was Blue Valantine\\nThe Family Tree Song By Song episodes:\\n$29.00: https://soundcloud.com/songbysongpodcast/2900-blue-valentine-tom-waits-060\\nWrong Side of the Road: https://www.songbysongpodcast.com/wrong-side-of-the-road\\nWhistlin\' Past the Graveyard: http://www.songbysongpodcast.com/whistlin-past-the-graveyard\\nKentucky Avenue: http://www.songbysongpodcast.com/kentucky-avenue \\nFour Days In A Room: https://soundcloud.com/fourdaysinaroom/sets/highlights-from-four-days-in-a\\nBenign Essential Tremor: http://www.healthline.com/health/essential-tremor\\nBob Carlton: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_Carlton\\nReturn to the Forbidden Planet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Return_to_the_Forbidden_Planet\\nPenn and Teller: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Penn_%26_Teller\\nJen: https://soundcloud.com/gettingbetteracquainted/sets/the-jen-episodes\\nAuteur Theory: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auteur\\nTurn of the Screw: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Turn_of_the_Screw_(opera)\\nHamlet: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hamlet\\nUnderstanding Comics - Scott McCloud: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Understanding_Comics\\nSaga: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saga_(comics)\\nPreacher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preacher_(comics)\\nY: The Last Man: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Y:_The_Last_Man\\nScalped: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scalped\\nJack Kirby: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Kirby\\nStan Lee: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stan_Lee\\nAlan Moore: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_Moore\\n\\nHelp more people get better acquainted.
