TSC Talks guest Patrick Spencer is a 21-year-old from South London, and a new podcaster. After chatting a bit through Instagram, Jill thought it would be fun to bring in a younger generation and have an open conversation about his views and struggles. Patrick is Creator, Producer and Host of Open Podcast 2020. He is an elevator engineer, past football player, enjoys writing his own songs. He also happens to have recently ventured into podcasting with the launch of Open Podcast 2020,

"I've always had a very closed mindset, a very narrow mind. And it's always sort of kept me in the dark on a lot of things. And I've never really opened myself up to that looking at the world and problems and stuff like that. And recently, I've been through a little bit of personal stuff, and it sort of opened my mind up a little bit more to, to sort of see and seeing the bigger issues and obviously we've the Black Lives Matter movement has happened as well. And it's just all over my mind, a lot of other stuff as well. And yeah, sort of what I was going through had me feeling terrible. I was feeling really down. And I thought you know what, I know there's so many other people in the world who feel like this and feel worse than this and if there's something I can do to help one of them maybe then that that'd be really good, even if I don't know about it. So that's what it was. It wasn't anything specific. It was just a sort of a whole collection of things that that put me in this position."

Patrick gives us a little bit of his background, gets up close and personal about his struggles, his personal life, and introduces us to his podcast channel called The Open Podcast. The Open Podcast features various types of guests, with various backgrounds, and various life experiences to share with the world about the good that they are doing and about mutual interests to Patrick himself and his public.
