This week’s guest is the incredible singer, actor, activist and all round icon Olly Alexander. He’s genuinely one of the most talented people I’ve EVER met…from the huge success of his band Years & Years, to his unforgettable performance in ‘It’s A Sin’, to representing the UK at Eurovision, I’m in complete awe of him!

We spoke about the madness of sudden fame, his ‘reformed party girl’ status, and the grief of losing his incredible Gran. We also get into the importance of standing up for your trans friends, especially at a time when anti-trans rhetoric feels louder than ever.

It was such an honest, funny and moving chat and he’s welcome back any time (even though I’m still fuming that he has a Madame Tussauds waxwork and I don’t).

You can see Olly alongside loads of amazing artists at Trans Mission on 11th March at Wembley Arena! Get tickets here.

Thanks again to my new roommate Jonny Woo (@jonnywoouk) for joining us to share his LGBTQ+ partying history lesson. You can find more about his bar, The Divine, here.

Please note, this episode contains discussions of drug use.

Whenever I’m at a party, I always gravitate towards Philippa Perry. Not only is she a brilliant author, artist, and psychotherapist, but she is also my favourite person to chat with, and one of the wisest people I’ve ever met.

We spoke about our mutual love for gossip (yes - therapists gossip too), the ‘blandification’ of culture, and why she’s no longer scared of dying. My amazing friend Airy also popped in, and together we psychoanalysed some inanimate objects around my house (brought to life with some giant googly eyes!).

You have to read Philippa’s new book, Shrink Solves Murder, which is released on 7th May and available for pre-order now.

Oh, and don’t forget: I’m hosting a watch party for the concert film of The Glorification of Sadness & Greatest Hits on 22nd February! You can get tickets HERE.

Rebecca Lucy Taylor (AKA Self Esteem) is an absolute icon to me! The most talented singer, actor AND author, what can’t she do?? We spoke about our shared experiences as female musicians in the industry, her ‘dream’ holiday (turned nightmare), and whether calling yourself Self Esteem actually helps you have any…

We also spoke about postpartum psychosis with my good friend and author Laura Dockrill. Her brilliant memoir “What Have I Done?” is out now. This was such an interesting conversation and I hope you enjoy this episode as much as I did!!

You can catch Rebecca starring in “Teeth ‘n’ Smiles” at the Duke of York theatre in London from March 12th, tickets are on sale now! Her book ‘A Complicated Woman’ is out now.
