Listen Later

Lorraine and Trish meet one of their 80s icons, Pepsi DeMacaque, to talk about her remarkable life story from growing up in a North London Caribbean community, the fateful day she was asked to join Wham! and how she built a new life in her 50s in St Lucia, the setting for her new novel Island Song. Discover what it was like going on tour with Wham!, the secret to her decades long friendship with Shirlie Kemp and the one thing that reminds her most about George Michael. She also shares how she found strength in her darkest moments and came to terms with being unable to have children. Plus: Celebrating five years of Postcards from Midlife & Trish goes full Womble with her unexpected Christmas present
