Callum Robertson
Welcome to Episode 56 of the Voices Of Boyle Podcast!
Today, we’re thrilled to have Callum Robertson join us as we dive into his journey through the performing arts and his experiences as a student during the covid years.
Callum shares his thoughts on his renewed appreciation for social freedoms, and the impact of lockdowns on his education and mental well-being. We explore his early inspiration in performing arts, memorable musical roles, and the challenges faced transitioning from theater to film.
He also discusses his international theater adventures in Spain and his upcoming opportunity in Switzerland, alongside an insightful conversation on the role of AI in creative fields. Callum also offers his advice for aspiring artists, reflects on his beloved hometown of Boyle, and expresses his hopes for the future.
Thanks to Brendan O’ Dowd for creating and recording the musical piece for the podcast.
BE A GUEST ON THE SHOW!
If you’ve a story about Boyle, we’d love to hear it. You don’t need to have done anything remarkable, and you don’t need to prepare a thing. We sit down, have a chat, and you talk about whatever you want to. It usually takes about an hour.
Thinking of someone else? A parent, a grandparent, a neighbour who remembers how it used to be? Tell us about them. Some of our best episodes started because a son or daughter got in touch. You can find us at [email protected].
