Kim and Luca celebrate the life and work of George Michael, an extraordinary singer and songwriter whose honesty, openness and generosity changed the world as much as his singing.

We discuss the early days of Wham!, his pivotal Parkinson interviews in the wake of his very public 'outing' in 1998, the power of shame and the artistry with which he turned that on its head, the taboo of discussing sex and much, much more.
