JaackMaate’s Happy Hour

From being dubbed part of the British ‘Brat Pack’, to writing ‘Pass Out’ in just eight hours and watching it soar to number one, Tinie Tempah takes us right back to the early days of his career. He reveals what it was really like when fame came knocking in 2010 when he just 21 years old.

We get into the reality of navigating overnight success, the pressure to follow up a massive hit, and why he eventually decided to take a hiatus from music after beating the record for the most UK number one singles by a British rapper. 

Plus, the time King Charles watched him fight Tom Hardy, the reason he turned down an 100k offer for a pair of his shoes, and we get his reaction to Alfie’s Christmas rap. Oh and he’s STILL never been to Scunthorpe… but that might be about to change. 

Tinie Tempah’s album The Night is Not Dead is out now!

Chris Williamson, one of the most successful podcasters on the planet, joins Jaack & Stevie, two of the most successful podcasters from the North Norfolk area. Chris first came to the public eye with appearances on Take Me Out and Love Island but in the decade since, he has transformed his entire image, evolving into one of the biggest names in podcasting.

With some of the world’s most fascinating people appearing on his Modern Wisdom podcast, we ask Chris exactly what goes into preparing for these conversations. How does he research his guests? How much planning goes into each episode? And how does he navigate the fine line between allowing guests to share their opinions, and potentially giving a platform to advice that isn’t necessarily always backed up by fact?

Chris also shares what it was like interviewing Hollywood superstar Matthew McConaughey, and we delve into some of the criticism he’s faced online, including being labelled part of the “soft manosphere”. And we couldn’t possibly let one of the world’s biggest podcasters leave without getting his thoughts on one of the most pressing issues of our time… JaackMaate’s Christmas lights fiasco.
