The home for podcasts that may be different, but are definitely fun!!!

Things just kept growing, BUT, this is the last instalment of @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ this week!!!

'Part FOUR' is thanks to Kelli McNeil-Yellen who really delivered the goods, with two films from a crazy creative couple! Both films are raw explorations of intimacy, relationships, trust, regret and love, but from completely different directions. THEN we get to sit down with the couple and really get into story techniques, capturing intimacy, the art of improvisation and a LOT more!!! Plus the world premiere of their latest offering 'ForeFans' at The Castle Cinema Hackney, 18:30, 10th June 2026!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/ngYEcAskfL0

We are keeping the foot to the pedal cause this week’s @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ journey is far from over!!!

There’s been a serious lack of honest to god, funny as hell comedies. So who better to find a straight gem, non other than the Queen of PR, AJ Feuerman!!! She came through with pure gold and my neighbours hate her, as I was laughing all night! WE then get to chop it up with the writer / director of the joint and get the full scope of how all of this came together, why now was the time for him to step behind the camera and sooooo much more. A real inspiring story, which you won’t want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/MHVgItyimWQ

Reunions are always fun, especially when shared via @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ and that’s exactly what we have here!!!

The tremendous Franckie Francin and talented crew at ChicArt PR came through for ‘Part TWO’ of this week’s podcast. As the British treasure that is Martin Gooch, has decided to tell stories full-time Stateside! Launching the US arm of his production company and hosting his extremely fun ’Goochapalooza’ nights to get the ball rolling! So we sit down with Martin to get laughs and insights into everything he has up his sleeves for this new chapter!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/JXMhDkRWCW0

Hot damn, this week’s @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ might shame some people, cause it grew more than them lol We’re FOUR deep and sling straight fire!!!

In 'Part ONE' we jump back twenty-six years to the film that spawned a successful franchise and then hit the cinema for the latest instalment from SM-2026 Wayans Bros. Entertainment, Miramax & Paramount Pictures. A beloved 80’s cartoon takes a second stab at the big screen, by the power of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Mattel Studios, Escape Artists, Truenorth Productions, Amazon MGM Studios. AND then, a stolen song, broken promises and a need to gain redemption comes via 30West, Screen Ireland, Likely Story, Distressed Films, Treasure Entertainment, Lionsgate.

For 'Part TWO' of this week's @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ we delve into the supernatural and possessions!!!

Thanks to Ted Geoghegan, we get to check out a horror passion project that is the first part of a trilogy and the first feature from a creative who has been turning his hand to projects that have captured the imaginations of many. So when it was time for us to sit down and chat, there was a LOT to cover! The film has got distribution from BloodStreamTV. AND they're having a red carpet premiere at the Lumiere Cinema at the Music Hall on the 10th June! Another fun chat you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/XnlQI8gC3dc

The Festivals keep coming and @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is here to bring you as much coverage as we can!!!

It's time to head to New York, for the 25th Tribeca Festival, and thanks to Tom Brumpton we have a short film that has approached familiar ideas, but in a completely new, fresh way! THEN, we get to sit down with a first time director, and discover the impetus for the film, the importance of not only showcasing Filipino Martial Arts, but ensuring that the fight scenes felt realistic. Delivering on the feeling of not being excepted, all the nuance behind that, as well as from the Filipino gym and team owner. In 11 minutes we get such a rich story, it really enables us to have a super compelling chat, that you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/XBp_RVW6hCw

So many Festivals and so many opportunities for @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ to shine that light on great talent.

Thanks to Franckie Francin & Patricia Chica at ChicArt PR we got to dip our toe into the Cannes Festival International Film & Inclusion and cover an extraordinary documentary playing as part of the Pavillon Afriques x Pavillon Afronova. THEN we sit down with the filmmaker to peel back the different aspects of storytelling that allowed for such an immersive experience. A truly impactful piece of work and chat, that you won't want to miss!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/Vtqy5XlgLz8

So our @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ Festival train has one more surprise stop to make in Cleveland!

Shaimaa Khan and the good folks at London Flair PR came through with a new indie short that we were trying to schedule during the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival, but couldn't quite lock it down. However, we got it to work, so we get a story that, through great storytelling, will draw you in, and have you asking so many internal questions on humanity, empathy, perception, and more. PLUS, it will be screening at the upcoming 25th Tribeca Festival. THEN, we sit down with the great mind behind it all and get all the insights and reflection on making this work, bringing it to life, and putting it into the world!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/iLd3WgDECDM

Time waits for no-one, but stories stay eternal, and that's why @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is able to take a third spin in the Cleveland Festival scene!!!

Schedules can be real fickle, BUT, Tom Brumpton will always try and make things work. So although things didn't fully align for the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival, we still get to wax lyrically about a new indie short that premiered there with great success. THEN, we sit down with this first time filmmaker and discuss all of her adventures in storytelling. The foundation built with her music career, and what led her to film. As well as jumping into things with such a nuanced tale of identity, loneliness, and the need to be acknowledged by those close to you! A really great chat, that everyone can take something away from!!! AND, if you missed her at CIFF, you can catch upcoming screenings at Kingston International Film Festival, Vaporetta Film Festival (Hoxton), Brighton Rocks Film Festival and 19th QFest St. Louis Film Festival. Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/EUYZGfABcxs

No mistakes people, @EchoChamberFP https://www.instagram.com/echochamberfp/ is BACK in Cleveland for more Festival goodness!

Once again, London Flair PR came through and it was actually Shaimaa Khan who organised our first chat (episode 383 https://www.podcaphilia.com/echo-chamber/ep383) with our returning guest Radha Mehta https://youtu.be/A-CceLRehws So it's great we get to do it all again, for her brand new short film, which is having it's North American Premiere at the 50th Cleveland International Film Festival. If you dug the first convo, people, this one is sooooo immersive in storytelling soul, Radha is sonically hypnotising. Like her work, it's an incredible human embrace, you will not want to miss a second!!! Watch the conversation: HERE! https://youtu.be/IIYQNbbm_pk

Obviously, everyone is looking forward to UFC Freedom 250, right? But before we get to that, we have another Fight Night, and we have some great fights on deck! So we don't wanna sleep on this people!

From the 'Prelims', with fights like the debut of Jeisla Chaves against Yuneisy Duben, or seeing if Jordan Leavitt can continue his run at Featherweight as he challenges Joanderson Brito. The 'Main Card' opens with Iwo Baraniewski vs Junior Tafa, which has the potential for explosive action! Or seeing who can position themselves for that next step, as Farès Ziam vs Tom Nolan clash. And of course, we end the night with TWO extremely pivotal bouts, Brendan Allen vs Edmen Shahbazyan and Belal Muhammad vs Gabriel Bonfim. A loss will be a serious setback for someone's career!

With all these stakes @ChinCheckPod (ep 329) REALLY dug deep this week to try and predict the outcomes! 12 fights, everyone wants to show that Saturday night is just as important as Washington. So let's get ready for some ‘UFC Fight Night: Muhammad vs Bonfim’ action!?!

After a dark week, the UFC is back, all the way from Macau, China. We get an interesting card at the Galaxy Arena, with some intriguing matchups people, and a sleeper card.

Mick Maynard and Sean Shelby, have done a great job, putting these interesting fights together. A former champion against a potential challenger in the main event. Then match-ups like Sergei Pavlovich against Tallison Teixeira in our 'Featured bout'. Or we have Kai Asakura who has a lot to prove, and Cameron Smotherman who wants to show he is not a one fight wonder. Jake Matthews against Carlston Harris, is also one hell of fight. AND, we have former One Championships Bantamweight champ, Xiong Jingnan, making her debut against Angela Hill.

We break down the card, @ChinCheckPod (ep 327) so you don't have to, all '13' fights are locked in, so lets go for that ‘UFC Fight Night: Song vs Figueiredo’ action!?!

Newark was a blast, and now the UFC is back home at the Meta Apex for another 'Fight Night' card. Maybe not as dazzling on paper, but after last week, standards have been set, bars have been raised, so everyone on Saturday night will be looking to make their claims.

There are fighters looking to keep their jobs, others trying to get a crack at ranked opposition, or title consideration. With all of this, Saturday's match-ups have a lot line, just at a different scale to last week! Four fighters also make their debut, Thomas Gantt, Artur Minev (fighting each other), Christian Edwards (Modestas Bukauskas) & Juan Díaz (Malcolm Wellmaker), no easy match-ups, just chances to be great.

We break down the card, @ChinCheckPod (ep 325) so you don't have to, all '13' fights are locked in, so lets go for that ‘UFC Fight Night: Allen vs Costa’ action!?!

The UFCs next 'Numbered Event' is coming at us Saturday night from the Prudential Center, Newark, New Jersey, and it is something f'sure! We have Khamzat Chimaev defending his belt for the first time against Sean Strickland. And that's just one of a stack of incredible match-ups!

One of those match-ups is another title fight. As Joshua Van is also making his first title defence against Tatsuro Taira. Man, this is one hell of a card. No debuts, we just got a murders row all the way through (essentially). In the second fight of the night, you have Baisangur Susurkaev going against Djorden Santos, then right after that Pat Sabatini against William Gomis, right into Roman Kopylov vs Marco Tulio, and that's just the 'Early Prelims'! The 'Prelims' proper opens with Jim Miller against Jared Gordon, then Grant Dawson against Mateusz Rębecki and Joel Álvarez vs Yaroslav Amosov! King Green vs Jeremy Stephens open the 'Main Card', followed by Sean Brady against Joaquin Buckley. Which could be a main event of a 'Fight Night', right? With Alexander Volkov against Waldo Cortes-Acosta fighting for a potential future title shot. And after everything Volkov has said recently, you know he's gonna want to show & prove!?!

This card really is phenomenal (on paper), so who can wait, I know you can't. So, as we do, @ChinCheckPod (ep 323) is going to look at everything, preview it so you don't have to! Sit down, buckle up, and let's check out 'UFC 328: Chimaev vs Strickland'!!!!

Yo people, from the Apex to Perth, Australia, the UFC is bringing a killer 'Headline' fight, in Jack Della Maddalena vs Carlos Prates to the RAC Arena. 13 fights and some really fun matchups, like our featured bout Tim Elliot vs Steve Erceg!

It's not necessarily a card jammed with superstars, but there's a lot of up and coming talent here, and the matchmakers have put together a host of intriguing encounters! We have a couple of debuts and some fighters who really need to switch up their fortune. Which should (hopefully) lead to excitement from Dom Mar Fan vs Kody Steele to Marwan Rahiki vs Ollie Schmid

With potential title consideration for our 'main event' winner, @ChinCheckPod (ep 321) is really getting into these fights for you, people. So all you have to do is switch on and enjoy ‘UFC Fight Night: Della Maddalena vs Prates’!?!
