Pen Pals, Potholes and Purpose: Creativity and Change with Tommy Coyle

Broadcasts live every Wednesday at 7:00p.m. uk time on Radio Soapbox: http://radiosoapbox.com

In this lively episode of The Shelley Tasker Show, I catch up with co‑host Mallificus Scott for a wide‑ranging chat on everyday life, gratitude, and the never‑ending to‑do lists—plus the ongoing saga of my studio, driveway dreams, and dodging road closures and potholes. We swap stories about boundary‑setting with door‑knockers, “no cold callers” signs, and a thoughtful discussion on faith communities and family dynamics. We also celebrate heartening news, including a school pen‑pal project reconnecting children and older generations through the lost art of letter writing.

Our guest, musician and podcaster Tommy Coyle, joins to talk creativity, habit‑building, learning Spanish, and his move plans to Spain for more sunshine and simplicity. We explore songwriting as a daily practice, life after the Covid years, and the value of focusing on skills that truly compound. Tommy introduces his forthcoming single “Agenda 21,” and we revisit pivotal truth‑seeking moments from 9/11 to media narratives, before closing with reflections on friendship, growth, and making space for purposeful living.
