In this episode we spoke to PJ Smith who is one of the biggest talents in the UK's spoken-word performance scene with the edgy character Roy.

A former alcoholic, PJ told us his raw, poignant, funny and inspirational personal story. He also gives us a great insight into the increasingly must-see La Violette Societa gigs he helps host across the country.

In his own words he talks about "Roy, Daddy issues, darkness, desperation, writing, Violette and all that. I do go on a bit, like."

We're glad he did.
