Our Podcast
At Quench Arts we like to share our learning, impact, successes and challenges. We do this regularly via our social media content, including through our resource page on Facebook and through our YouTube and SoundCloud sites. Below you can read some of the blogs we've published about our work. Across 2026 we've also been recording a Podcast series about our work, with a plan to launch a series of 8 episodes per year. You can listen to the episodes released in series 1 so far below (with new episodes coming each week!)
Series 1, Episode 1: In this episode, Quench Arts Directors Liz Viggers and Nic Briggs introduce listeners to Quench Arts' work.

Our Blogs
Below you can read some of the blogs written by our team about our work and impact. Please note that all the blogs related to our youth work used to be hosted on the Youth Music Network page but this was taken offline in February 2025. Please bear with us as we gradually upload our back catalogue of content here as this is quite a big job!
If you are looking for our Wavelength project 'on demand' seminar content, reflecting our our youth music and mental health work, this is available here. Our Plugin project resources are also available here.
