Songs & Spirits with Vin Goodwin
Vin’s Beverage: The Classic Negroni
This week’s episode features the one and only Vin Goodwin (or should we say Vin Great-win? …we’ll see ourselves out). We first crossed paths with Vin on a night out in London at our friend Daisy Chute’s gig, and after one conversation, we knew we had to get him on the pod.
We dive into Vin’s very entertaining musical journey, his love of pathos in art (yes, we do use the word “pathos” in casual conversation, thank you very much), and a little something we’re calling Vin-tage YouTube, a trip down internet memory lane that you won’t want to miss.
We also chat about how he started his long-running show, Vin’s Night In, which has been going strong for an impressive 15 years! (If you haven’t snagged tickets yet, what are you even doing with your life?)
Vin also shared his love for performing, describing that magical feeling of being in front of - or even right in the middle of - a buzzing crowd when everyone’s vibing together. Spoiler: this episode is a lot like drinking a perfect Negroni - balanced, bittersweet, and guaranteed to leave you smiling.
