What a line up to kick off the inaugural episode of 12 Questions! I spoke to podcast pro Peter Crouch about life after football, lockdown pursuits, and why the greatest love he has is for Abbey and his children.

Fraser T Smith is producer for some of music’s biggest names including Adele, Stormzy, Dave and Kano. He recently released his debut album "12 Questions" under the alias of "Future Utopia" where he posed twelve universal, human and urgent questions, all born of Fraser’s own anxieties about the world today. As part of the podcast, Fraser is pairing some of the sharpest minds in popular culture to answer these questions in order to examine the breadth of their answers, and to help him, and others navigate living in the modern world.
