Life of The Party with Jodie Harsh

S2 Ep 3 : DJ Fat Tony

Season 2, Ep. 3

As one of clubland’s most notorious - and best loved - figures, Tony is a complete force of nature. His book I Dont’t Take Requests shot to the top of the Sunday Times bestseller list, and he’s also been one of my best friends for as long as I can remember. There’s just no way I could have done this podcast without having him on. Here he tells us about nights out across so many different scenes over the decades, of week-long benders and extreme self-destruction - and of recovery, redemption, and the joy of a good tune.

  • 7. S2 Ep 7 : Self Esteem

    44:07
    Rebecca Lucy Taylor is recognisable by her stage name Self Esteem, the inspiration of which comes from the evolution of her confidence. She has spoken about being a woman in music in her 30s, stating she used to lie and say she was 25 and said it took her a "while to be proud" of breaking into the industry later in life. Her lyrics talk about toxic relationships, the patriarchy, and all sorts of other serious things, but with a sharp pop bite. I can’t wait to talk to her about her life via the dance floor. Follow Jodie Harsh: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyFollow Self Esteem: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyA Warner Records podcast.Produced by Tom Dark, Billy Clark, and Sorcha Macdonald.
  • 6. S2 Ep 6 : Tom Daley

    49:01
    This week we have a true national treasure who’s grown up in the public eye and dived into our hearts. From Team GB to the dance floor, I go in deep with Olympic champion Tom Daley; we talk about coming out, going out, and making time for socialising as an athlete and as a dad!Follow Jodie Harsh: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyFollow Tom Daley: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / FacebookA Warner Records podcast.Produced by Tom Dark, Billy Clark, and Sorcha Macdonald.
  • 5. S2 Ep 5 : The Blessed Madonna

    49:32
    The Blessed Madonna is the moniker of global selector Marea Stamper. She’s been hot on the scene for a long while now, but it’s the lockdown era that really pushed her into the wider public sphere as she exec-produced Dua Lipa’s Club Future Nostalgia project, and narrated the anthem ‘We’ve Lost Dancing’ with Fred Again… We sat down to chat Chicago club culture, touring life, and what’s in a name…Follow Jodie Harsh: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyFollow The Blessed Madonna: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyA Warner Records podcast.Produced by Tom Dark, Billy Clark, and Sorcha Macdonald.
  • 4. S2 Ep 4 : Tom Grennan

    34:06
    This week’s guest is as comfortable on a Calvin Harris banger as he is sharing his heart on one of his own indie pop ballads. He’s had a number one album, and he loves a night out. This episode is so fun and it’s a proper deep dive into parties, festivals and clubs, so buckle up!Follow Jodie Harsh: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyFollow Tom Grennan: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / Facebook / SpotifyA Warner Records podcast.Produced by Tom Dark, Billy Clark, and Sorcha Macdonald.
  • 2. S2 Ep 2 : Jessie Ware

    47:20
    Jessie Ware is, quite frankly, a national treasure. She straddles a music career (What’s Your Pleasure was everyone’s lockdown disco album) and a podcast career - Table Manners with her Mum Lennie is delicious and stratospheric. She’s a gay icon, a foodie and one of the coolest women in music - and I wanted to know everything about her raving days, festival experiences and why she has - shock horror - so far not performed at a Pride!Follow Jodie: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / SpotifyFollow Jessie: Instagram / Twitter / SpotifyA Warner Records podcast.

  • 1. S2 Ep1 : Joel Corry

    39:22
    You can’t deny Joel Corry is killing it. With a bunch of top 10 singles under his belt - including a number 1 - and a DJ career that’s taken him all over the world, Corry has become a household name. Even your mum’s heard of him! As he triumphs across America with a huge tour, and Ibiza and Vegas residencies this summer, I sat down with him to talk about his nights out both as a punter and as a headline DJ.Follow Jodie: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / SpotifyFollow Joel: Instagram / TikTok / Twitter / SpotifyA Warner Records podcast.

  • 8. S1 Ep 8 : Nile Rodgers

    51:29
    This week's guest is epic - If you’ve ever been on a dance floor, you’ve definitely enjoyed his records. It's the legend himself, Nile Rodgers. His music has defined so many eras and it’s soundtracked so many people’s lives. He’s helped shaped the careers of superstars and gave them the songs we love. From Madonna to Bowie, Diana Ross to Daft Punk, and of course his own band, Chic. His body of work has shaken dance floors for decades. He’s survived cancer, drug and alcohol addiction, and a violent backlash against the musical genre he was the star of. He is to this day, the king of the dance floor. 
  • 7. S1 Ep 7 : Annie Mac

    46:40
    You'll know this episode’s guest from the airwaves and her beats from the DJ booth. She’s a dance music authority - She started as a punter and has become a rave thrower, a festival owner, a podcaster, an equality campaigner and now an author - not to mention a mum....A very cool mum! She’s a pied piper of fun - and she’s something of a cultural barometer. She asks the nation if we’re Raving or Behaving, and I couldn’t do this podcast without having her on as a guest. Very excited to have Annie Mac on this episode, and explore her Life Of The Party!
