"The Secret Painter" is a memoir by Joe Tucker that delves into the concealed artistic life of his uncle, Eric Tucker. Eric, a laborer from Warrington, Cheshire, led a double life, secretly creating over 500 paintings and approximately 1,000 sketches depicting mid-20th-century working-class northern life. His works, often compared to those of LS Lowry, capture scenes of pubs, theaters, and street life with authenticity and depth.

Despite his sociable nature, Eric was reserved about his art, seldom sharing his creations publicly. His family discovered his extensive collection only after his death in 2018, leading to posthumous exhibitions that garnered significant public and media attention.

Joe Tucker's memoir offers a touching and thoughtful exploration of his uncle's life, reflecting on themes of class, ambition, loneliness, and community. The book provides insight into Eric's personal history, his dedication to art, and the broader disconnect between working-class culture and the art establishment.

"The Secret Painter" serves as a poignant tribute to Eric Tucker's unwavering artistic commitment, bringing his life's work into the public eye and celebrating the extraordinary found in unexpected places.

I find out that he has an uncomfortable relationship with some elements of the paranormal, in ways you simply cannot predict.

Marek runs the Cool Dudes Walking Club as a way to mix his love of the extrodinary, walking and finding a way to reduce his tax bill.

Our conversation turns introspective, pondering the transitions in life that lead us from the chaos of the city to the serenity of the boundless countryside. We touch on time, existence, and those mysterious glimmers of synchronicity that sometimes pierce our skepticism.

From the profound Hebrew concept (or not) of coincidence, we traverse a spectrum of topics that defy explanation, how to find a lost shoe with another, how buying a wart can be the catalyst for its removal from the body and whether the future is really in front of us - or does it blur lines with the past?

Kathleen Hale, originally from Wisconsin, writes about crime and social media. Her fourth book, SLENDERMAN, was nominated for an Edgar Prize and won the 2023 Midland Writers Award for Non Fiction. It tells the story behind the Slenderman stabbings in Wisconsin, USA, which shocked the local community and the world. The violence of Morgan Geyser and Anissa Weiser, the two twelve-year-old girls who attempted to stab their classmate to death, was extreme, but what seemed even more frightening was that they had done so under the influence of an internet meme, the so-called 'Slenderman'.

Warning: This episode contains strong language and descriptions of violence, which may not be suitable for all listeners, especially younger weirdos.
