    UK Desk for Arts Express 22-1-25: Remembering David Lynch
    Jan 23 2025
    In this deeply personal episode, I reflect on the passing of the unparalleled David Lynch, a filmmaker, artist, and visionary whose work shaped my creativity, inspired generations, and defied all conventions of cinema. From my first bewildering encounter with Mulholland Drive to the raw brilliance of Inland Empire and the haunting resonance of Eraserhead, Lynch’s films were more than just surreal experiences—they were windows into the possibilities of art, storytelling, and belief in one’s ideas, no matter how strange or small. Growing up on a council estate in Salford, Lynch gave me the courage to dream big with very little, teaching me that art can emerge from even the darkest corners of life.

    Jan 15 2025

    On this special episode of the UK Desk for Arts Express, Jack Clarke bring a new segment to the table from his days at school; Who would win in a fight?


    Get ready for the ultimate clash of worlds in this surreal, once-in-a-lifetime showdown! In one corner, the enigmatic and towering Judge Holden, straight out of Blood Meridian—a hairless, pale giant with a cold, unrelenting stare and a reputation for unmatched brutality. In the other corner, modern-day titan of industry, Elon Musk, the tech billionaire and cultural phenomenon, stepping into the ring with nothing but determination and his wits.


    Set in the unforgiving heat of a desolate desert, this fight pits raw, primal chaos against calculated modern ingenuity. Two wildly different eras collide in a brutal, no-holds-barred struggle for dominance. Who will stand victorious when the dust settles? The relentless embodiment of violence or the man shaping the future? Witness the most bizarre and intense match-up ever imagined!

    UK Desk for Arts Express 8-1-25: Dyson dropped the bomb?
    Jan 9 2025

    In what can only be described as the pinnacle of domestic drama meets geopolitical analysis, for some reason I interviewed Dr. Matthew Alford while he hoovered his stairs.


    Yes, truly groundbreaking radio.


    Matthew explains his ill-fated sanity: if humanity survived 2024 without nuking itself, he’d finally clean his stairs. Well, no mushroom clouds, just ongoing wars, genocide, and some truly grim carpet. So, we tackled the big questions: the psychology of power, military manipulation in media, and whether his Hoover is as effective at cleaning as the West is at diplomacy.
