From turning up to the Brit-Pop party a little late to toppling one of the most powerful women in 90s pop and eventually re-recording her greatest hits with an orchestra: Sophie Ellis-Bextor's had an interesting career path. Chris Haigh joins Matt to talk about third album "Trip the Light Fantastic" and what it means to Chris. Along the way they talk about the writing of a pop album, songwriters and Matt reveals a weird method of learning about a songwriter's original pop career.

Jimmy Eat World are put alongside your 00s Pop-Punk bands like Blink-182 and New Found Glory, but they're also respected as pioneers in the emo music movement. Tim Henton explains why second album "Clarity" is his favourite album, but how it differs from the later released "Bleed American". It's an interesting creative path that the band takes and we'll dip into that and more.

There's a special magic with discovering a band randomly. Marc Shinner discovered New Jersey duo Brick + Mortar and instantly fell in love with them. Marc joins Matt to talk about the moment you know you've fallen for a band and the journey to see them live. The conversation moves to live music in general, and touches on support bands and the recent discussion on releasing set-times. It's a good conversation, and we hope you enjoy it!

Our guest this week is Chris Wilson; massive wrestling fan and host of Cinemortuary and the Without a Mouse podcasts. We talk about the impact of the album, how it leads to other albums and the man himself Fred Durst. Did Matt like it? Well....

Singer Songwriter Helena Deakin loves Phoebe Bridgers' debut album, "Stranger in the Alps", a lot. We mean "a lot" - just wait until you find out how much. Helena chats with Matt about connecting with the album, and the impact music can have with memory and association. They also chat about song meanings, and even the reasoning artists choose the songs they do when creating an album.
