The Emotional Junkie https://theemotionaljunkie.podbean.com What's the point of a life without feeling?

As an emotional junkie I am always on the hunt for the next good feel...

I'm constantly turning up the volume on a particular song, craving a certain type of movie or getting hooked on a book that takes me where I need to go in order to feel something.

It's what we are built to do. Our emotions drive us, shape us and can literally destroy us...

I invite you to join me, Finn Hanlon, a writer, actor and dad as we delve into all the emotions being alive brings, find out what they do to us, where they live in our lives and take a look at how feelings have inspired some seriously emotive artistic expression.

I will also share with you my own creative work, written in response to the theme in the hope that I can transport you deep into feeling.

A creative romp through all that life makes us feel. 

In this episode we are looking into the theme of Loss. A massively emotive subject that everyone of us will have experienced in our lives. 

Join me as we walk through the world of loss, what it does to us, how it can inspire us and whether it can ever be positive...

Within the emotional chatter I will share work from other musicians and writers that have been inspired by the experience of loss and I'll also offer up a few pieces of my own that have been created in response to the theme of this episode...
