This week on the podcast, we're joined by a true music legend - the one and only Graham Coxon. As well as digging back into some early Blur memories, we take a trip to the tribal pubs of '80s Colchester, learn about Graham's squatting days and discover why his life is like a marble maze. Enjoy!

This week on the podcast, we turn the clock back to the mid '00s and dig into the coming-of-age years of Kate Nash - one of Myspace's first true self-made stars. As well as a dive back into that whirlwind, Kate also serves up some choices stories of the scrappy Nash sisterhood, her beloved childhood thimble collection (naturally), and why, when it comes to dreams, it's good to have no plan B. Enjoy!

On the newest episode of the podcast CHVRCHES frontwoman and newly solo-in-her-own-right star Lauren Mayberry takes us on a timewarp back to the '00s, where Top Eights were the peak priority, indie still dominated the charts and you lycra tops and combats were the height of cool. Prepare for the some serious core memories to be unlocked. Enjoy!

In the newest episode of Before They Knew Better, DIY cover star Bobby Vylan of vital punk duo Bob Vylan joins us to reminisce on his first gig as a 12 year old MC, alongside tales of an early, curiosity-piquing trip to Chicago and his appropriately DIY roots selling homemade CDs with his garage crew on the streets of Ipswich. Like Bobby himself, it’s both entertaining and thoroughly inspirational. Enjoy!
