In this episode of The Mind Corner, we dive into the world of film and storytelling with a special guest — a movie writer from the British Film Institute, known for the project Uchronia, Foivos D.

This conversation is a little different from our usual setup — it’s our very first episode recorded over FaceTime. Despite the distance, we still manage to explore the creative process behind filmmaking, the challenges of bringing ideas to life, and the deeper meaning behind storytelling.

Covering an entire film journey in one episode is never easy, but we found ways to break it down, reflect, and connect it back to real human experiences — exactly what The Mind Corner is all about.

Next time, we’ll be taking things to the studio for an even deeper conversation.

In this special episode before the London Marathon, I opened up about the nerves, the pressure, and everything building up to the big day. This time, it felt different—I was so nervous that I needed to bring a friend along for support.

What started as a simple conversation turned into something much deeper. Two friends catching up after a long time, sharing laughs, memories, and honest thoughts about life, fear, and stepping into something big.

It’s raw, it’s real, and it’s a reminder that sometimes, the best way to face a challenge is not alone—but with someone who truly gets you.

In this episode of The Mind Corner, Georgia Polly Taylor joins us for an intimate, thoughtful conversation about her evolving journey as a multidisciplinary artist. We explore the breadth of her creative world—from performance and visual storytelling to the intersections where her different practices collide and reshape one another. Georgia reflects on the shows that have defined her path so far, sharing insights into her process, inspirations, and the emotional landscapes behind her work. The conversation also turns to her upcoming show, Very Hot. Very Messy., where she hints at a bold, unfiltered exploration of chaos, vulnerability, and self-expression. It’s an honest, curious, and energizing episode that captures both the complexity of her artistry and the spirit of experimentation that drives it.

In this episode of The Mind Corner, we sit down with the incredibly talented Alex Burunova, writer and Director of the powerful new film Satisfaction.

Alex opens up like never before. We dive into the story behind Satisfaction, the intensity of bringing such a raw character to life, and what it truly takes to stay grounded in a world that constantly demands more.

This conversation goes beyond the screen . touching on identity, vulnerability, ambition, and the quiet battles filmmakers face behind the spotlight.

In this episode of The Mind Corner, we sit down with Kat for a raw, honest conversation about creativity, identity, and learning how to build a life that works with your mind ,not against it. Kat opens up about being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult and how that completely reshaped the way she understands her creativity, her habits, and her path. We explore the tension between structure and chaos, the reality of building a creative career in London, and what it actually takes to turn passion into something sustainable. From DJing and fire performing to navigating oversaturation in the music industry, this conversation dives into what it means to be multi-passionate in a world that constantly asks you to pick one thing. We also touch on mental health, growth, and recalibration ,not from a place of heaviness, but from awareness, reflection, and evolution. This episode is for anyone who feels like their mind moves fast, wants more, and refuses to fit into a box.

In this special and deeply personal episode of The Mind Corner, I’m joined by two people who mean a lot to me — Chryso Scenteri and Pau Zeis.

You’ve already met them earlier this season, each bringing their own unique stories and perspectives. But this time, we finally have them together in the same room… and it feels exactly how you’d imagine — real, warm, and full of genuine connection.

This episode is all about friendship — the kind that grows over time, supports you through everything, and reminds you who you are. We talk, we laugh, we reflect, and we share moments that go beyond the podcast and into real life.

Having them both here together made this conversation extra special for me, and I’m grateful to share it with you.

This is True Friends — unfiltered, honest, and from the heart.

In this special episode of The Mind Corner for Podcasthon 2026, we join hundreds of podcasts around the world dedicating their voices to important causes. This year, our chosen charity is Sarcoma UK, an organisation working to improve the lives of people affected by sarcoma, a rare and often overlooked form of cancer.

In this powerful and emotional conversation, I’m joined by two incredible guests. Enda, a member of the Sarcoma UK team, shares insight into the vital work the organisation does—raising awareness, supporting patients and families, and funding critical research for this rare cancer.

We are also joined by Chris Whellams, who courageously shares the story of losing his wife, Laura, to sarcoma. His testimony is a moving reminder of the human impact behind this disease and why awareness, funding, and specialised treatment are so important.

This episode is deeply personal. It is dedicated in memory of my brother, Andres Rafael Ricardo Vasquez, and Laura Whellams, two beautiful souls whose lives were taken by sarcoma. Through their memory, we continue to raise awareness, share stories, and support the fight against this disease.

Together, we talk about grief, resilience, advocacy, and how communities can come together to support research and specialised care for sarcoma patients.
