Christy Dignam Soul Searching and Uncensored with Joe Jackson 2004. The Music That Made Me

This show is a blend of two kinds of podcasts I do, 'Soul Searching and Uncensored' and 'The Music That Made Me.' Simply because, unlike many shows, Christy has done about the music that influenced him and the music he made, this chat at the time of the release of his 2004 book, This Is Christy Dignam, also went deep into subjects such as his heroin addiction, touched on his sexual abuse, and focused on the "hole in" his soul. If you want a pretty chat, look elsehwere. That said, this interview was followed, immediately afterwards by a second interview for a newspaper, and in it, Christy was even more explicit. So much so that I have a huge moral dilemma - whether to make a podcast of that or not. I tried to but gave up, it got so dark. Everything I create as a writer, broadcaster and podcaster is in the hope of raising peoples' spirits - particularly during this dam pandemic. Watch this space.
