In the last few years, the podcast industry has really boomed. Every journalist and celebrity worth their salt now has their own. But what makes Life In The Stocks special? Well, for one thing it’s the eclectic pool of speakers from a wide range of creative disciplines. It’s also the rawness, honesty, and vulnerability of the conversations that Matt Stocks shares with his guests: the interviews are completely candid, unchecked, and authentic.
For the purpose of this book, Life In The Stocks: Veracious Conversations with Musicians & Creatives Volume Two, Matt collected highlights from the first eighteen months of the podcast, and presented the anecdotes, musings, and observations in a new format, to tell new stories and tie them together in a way that takes the reader on an emotional journey—from early childhood memories to the dizzying heights of fame, via creative enterprises, experimentation with mind-altering substances, battles with mental health, spiritual contemplations, the meaning of life, death, and a whole lot more.
Full of inspirational, entertaining, shocking, tragic, heart-warming, and hilarious tales, Life In The Stocks: Volume Two is much more than just a collection of interview transcripts: it is an insight into the minds of some of America’s most enduring underground artists and an exploration of the history of alternative culture in the US, filtered via the perspective of someone from the UK. In short, it’s a unique and special cultural commentary, and one you will not want to put down.
