60 acast.com WTF Have I Done? https://shows.acast.com/wtf-have-i-done-with-jspooner en J Spooner career change,education,humour J Spooner For the first 25 years of my career I worked as an artist and the leader of Unlimited Theatre - one of the UK's leading contemporary performance companies. I worked with my best friends and some of the most prestigious cultural and scientific institutions to tour weird shows across the world that delighted, confused, dismayed, exhilarated, inspired audiences. I even went to space. Kind of.


In 2023 I turned 50 and decided to give that all up and (literally) run away from the circus to study for a Masters in Law.


I have no idea how (or if) this is going to work for me. But this podcast is my weekly update on how it's all going. So it could either be really boring and full of legal stuff or A Can’t Look Away Piece of Car Crash Voyeurism documenting A Terrible Decision Gone Catastrophically Wrong as my life falls apart and I descend tragically into addiction and madness. Either way I'm here for it. And for you. Maybe together we can work it all out.
