Not only has Julien Baker released three very good indie-rock albums – Sprained Ankle, Turn Out The Lights and Little Oblivions – she's also one-third of the world's coolest supergroup: boygenius, who have made their long-awaited comeback this month with three new tracks and the promise of a debut album – The Record – on March 31st 2023. For this episode, Julien talks to Charlie Gunn about her childhood love of BMX-ing, Game Boy, and Edgar Allen Poe in a conversation which meanders into chats about gender identity and finding your place in a heteronormative society.

Baxter Dury is an incredibly talented musician and he's just released his sixth solo album, 'The Night Chancers' which is well worth a listen. Most of you will probably know he is also the son of Ian Dury of the Blockheads and he lives in the place where he grew up with his dad. For this week's Trash In The Attic, Baxter has a rummage around his flat in West London to find a brilliant collection of items that tell the most incredible stories. From his evil chess set Chessica, to the hammock that's getting him through lockdown, Baxter's wit and knack for storytelling makes this episode a particularly fun one.
