   Episode 42: Will Young

   Can you believe it's been almost 25 years since Will Young triumphed in the inaugural series of Pop Idol? In this episode, Will opens up to Roisin about the circus that was his battle against fellow contestant Gareth Gates, navigating fame and scrutiny into his personal life, and the failed attempt by the tabloids to "out" him as a gay man. They also chatted about his passion for gardening, modern dating and their mutual experiences of being in unhealthy relationship patterns, Will's experiences of being single in his forties and the wonderful relationship he's in now.

   Episode 40: J Mascis

   Dinosaur Jr have a new album - There Near - and it's brilliant. An unusually talkative J Mascis dives into everything from his love of skiing to getting into the straight edge subculture of punk in the Eighties, playing on the same stage with GG Allin and his favourite films, not least the 1971 classic Harold and Maude. Also, an unexpected and transcendental moment he had while on a spiritual journey, the boredom he experienced living in New York, and the unusual way he met his wife. Hosted on Acast.
