    'Queen' by Perfume Genius
    Nov 4 2025

    This week's episode celebrates the anthemic song 'Queen' by Perfume Genius.

    Singer-songwriter Mike Hadreas aka Perfume Genius first emerged around 2010, his music has been described as ‘dreamy and melancholic’, ‘grandiose yet intimate’ and over the course of seven studio albums he continues to shapeshift while still sounding completely himself. He joins Jake to talk about the making of the song, the video, his creative process, influences and his brilliant latest album 'Glory'.

    Perfume Genius is currently on tour in the UK before heading to Australia. He is playing at the Roundhouse in London on the 11th of November - check his website for other shows. https://perfumegenius.org/

    The B-52s (with Kate Pierson)
    Oct 28 2025

    This week is a big one - we are celebrating the iconic The B52's. A band that paved the way for queer artists through their unapologetic on-stage identity and camp aesthetic. Their non-conformist attitude and unique sound has had a huge and lasting impact on rock and pop music - you can witness their influence on artists from Boy George to Chappell Roan. Jake credits them with the very existence of The Scissor Sisters and was thrilled to speak to one of his all-time musical heroes Kate Pierson for this special episode.
