WELCOME TO EMOTIPOD Arts & Emotions
with Frances and guests
The name 'Emotipod' is a little silly, but hopefully memorable and easy to search.
Emotions are such a fundamental part of cognition - and the arts have always been where we engage with & process our feelings.
I wanted to learn more about different kinds of art; what makes them popular, and how they benefit our mental and emotional health.

Life wouldn't be much of a life without the arts. They all express what it is to be human and to feel. We need them to bring us together, tell our stories, escape or find outlet for our emotions. The crucial importance of the arts for our health has never been clearer...
In series 1, I talk to all kinds of artists about their creative passions. The dig into skills and processes, and what emotional benefits they and their audiences derive from their craft.
In series 2, several guests in each episode, including resident psychotherapist and actor Lisa Jones explore the mental and emotional blocks that get in the way of our creativity, pleasure and success in the arts.
