Musician, author, and podcaster Blindboyboatclub opens up about solitude and how it helps him regulate his emotions. For Blindboyboatclub, solitude isn’t about being a loner or introverted — he feels most at ease when alone in a crowd or immersed in music through his headphones. Alongside personal stories, he shares a curated selection of tracks, including Gucci Mane and Dusty Springfield finishing with a 20-minute mix to close the show.

Produced by Louise Mason for Granny Eats Wolf, working with The Donaldson Trust, The National Body for Neurodiversity.
