For this month's episode The Niallist visits Studio 304 to speak to Art With Heart's RACHEL MOORHOUSE about the Salford-based multimedia arts company and their strong social engagement ethos, their various project in and around Salford and how to become a "producer" in the arts sector.

For the June edition of "ISLINGTON MILL And..." Niall is joined by photographer and multi-media artist SIMON BUCKLEY to discuss his Not Quite Light project, an ongoing photography series documenting Manchester's changing city scape over the last 10 years. This fascinating conversation also touches on history, geography, energy and how Simon has survived for almost four decades as a freelance artist, making it essential listening for anyone who works at Islington Mill (and even beyond!)

After a prolonged hiatus, we are back! As we find ourselves in a period of transition and reallignment (both globally and locally) I have invited onto the podcast long time meditator, qigong teacher and coach OSKAR MARCHOCK to talk about his upcoming six week course on "Grounding & Centering". At this time of heightened anxiety and insecurity all over the world, I believe a centering and grounding practice could be of benefit to many in the Islington Mill community and also many beyond!
