Welcome! We apologise for the delay and for clarity there is no compensation on offer but you do get to hear us talk with the most wonderful Dr Lauren Speeth on her work in the area of music for hope and healing. Her bio is so extensive we can't note it below as we would no doubt run out of characters, so do check out the links below to learn more about Lauren and the great work she does.

As usual, Becky and Izzy catch up in the last half to talk torrid times, tariffs and somewhat unexpectedly segue from Jeff Bezos's problematic spaceship to Hamsters and of course we also name check some recent music must haves doing it for our own mental health.

Note: our website is being revamped and we will soon have a new email, if you'd like to comment, send us croissants or get involved then please DM Izzy through the podcasts insta account - link below!
