This was honestly one of the best rollercoasters of a podcast ride you can wish for - from crazy games to heartfelt stories - it was a ride to remember!

Christian Foley makes it up as he goes along. His freestyles have taken him from the school classroom, to Oprah's Television Networks and PMQ's at Westminster, from the festival circuit to TED talks and the Premier League.

Christian's improvised performances lauded by stars like 50 Cent and creator of Hamilton, Lin Manuel Miranda, have gone viral multiple times and made him a regular on British Television and radio, amassing millions of views and features across British and international Press.

On the poetry scene, Christian has risen to prominence. His night Spoken Word Sundaes is known as a hotbed of emerging, underground talent and he has also been shortlisted for the Jerwood Poetry Prize and Sky Arts as being in the ‘top 20’ promising young artists in the UK.

The lead single from his Christian’s mixtape ‘The Meaning of a Break’ was selected by Huw Stephens for Radio 1’s Best New Music. While Christian’s debut album Excommunication, released in Febuary 2019, was described as “cutting edge, innovative, heartbreaking Hip-Hop” by Urban Vault Magazine. Christian is also an ambassador for Mental Health and the co-founder of Mentality, a group of artists tackling issues around masculinity and encouraging communication. Their single Talk was championed by The Samaritans charity.

For a day job, Christian is one of the only few poets in the world selected to complete a ‘Spoken Word Education Programme’ and Teaching MA at Goldsmiths University, an incentive which was created to transform professional poets into specialised facilitators. He works in a number of schools and referral units in East London, as a poet in residence, and is the editor of eight poetry volumes written with children between the ages of four and eighteen.
