In the Season 1 finale of It's Go Time, we look back through the creating of the podcast, giving those who might be looking to start a podcast of their own, how we record and produce episodes, and how you can get involved! We also tease some fun new content lined up for the New Year! But of now, enjoy this festive Finale, as we retire for Christmas, with the hope of writing some fantastic new content we think you'll really love!

It's Go Time!

S1E9 - Season Finale - It's Go Time!

This week we discuss the conception of the revolutionary 2015 musical Hamilton, and how it's creator, Lin-Manuel Miranda, laboured over it for many years before it came out. The story of the making of Hamilton is an inspiring story for any creator that wants their ideas to change the world.

S1E8: Hamilton

This week we took a bit of a change of pace from projects. We looked at our co-host Matthew Gilpin's life as a Youtuber, including his first vlogs on a webcam whilst his parents were out, the Youtube 'scene' in 2011', and his philosophy on gaining and retaining followers on Youtube. This is a new type of content for It's Go Time, and we hope you enjoy it!

S1E7: Case Study - Matthew Gilpin

Last week we finally finished a project. But what now? How do I look back on what we've made and prepare ourselves for the next project?Reflection. Reflection is key.Reflect.Reflect often.Reflect with othersReflect properly.:)

S1E6: Reflection - Invest in Mirrors!

This week we finally try and finish what we've started. Although it's hard to start and keep going with a project, actually finishing it is just as hard - and it's rarely talked about!We tackle perfectionism, the 85/15 rule and take a peek at Josh's old music catalogue!

S1E5: Finishing a Project - Ah, Perfection!

This Episode Josh and Matt get serious about perseverance, and the importance of not giving up. This episode will go down in the annals of history for Matt's acting cult, Samwise Gamgee yeeting the One Ring into Mordor and the birth of Ol' Slappy Joe: county-slap bassist and Master of All.

S1E4: Perseverence Ft. Ol' Slappy Joe

Three is the magic number!This week Josh and Matt fail to prepare and thus prepare to fail. We look at how important planning is in maintaining this smokescreen of the modern world, and we weigh up our best laid plans vs throwing caution to the wind and winging it. Turns out we all plan everything, and good planning involves structure, research and self-belief.Disclaimer: No Shia LaBeoufs were harmed in the making of this episode.

S1E3: Planning - Best Laid Plans of Josh and Men...

Features: MBMBAM references, Hank Green impressions, and Josh's ugly laugh.Now we've taken the plunge into podcasting, Matt and I look at how we've improved as creatives and as people since we first started making stuff.We go spelunking into our 16-year-old songs and video archives, we look at an old MCR song, and we joke about how far along this long and winding road we've come.There is also an ugly laugh, for which Josh apologizes...

S1E2: Improvement - How did we get here??

Joshua Hook and Matthew Gilpin get super deep talking about procrastination. We explore how we procrastinate, why we do it, how to stop and how to JUST. DO. IT. (Disclaimer: Look, we never said we explored it WELL.)

S1E1: Procrastination - JUST. DO. IT.

Being creative is sometimes a slog. We discuss this. Well, we try. Join Josh and guests every Monday where we'll be looking at our successes and (More importantly) our failures, and getting stuck into the real world of being creative.
