Midnight Chats

While we're in between series of Midnight Chats, I thought I'd share a few of my favourite episodes from another podcast we made called Sweet 16, which until now has only been available to subscribers of Loud And Quiet.

These are brief recordings, all in the words of the artists, who recall what they were up to when they were 16 years old.

We recorded – well – 16 episodes in total, which you can fully access by subscribing to Loud And Quiet at loudandquiet.com. But in the meantime, here, at least, is what London pop rapper Jimothy Lacoste had to say about his year as a 16-year-old when we spoke to him in Nov 2020.
