Welcome to the first episode of Popnerd! Host Holly Carnegie chats to legendary singer-songwriter Toyah Willcox.


Rising to fame in the late 70s and early 80s with hits like 'It’s a Mystery' and 'I Want to Be Free', Toyah became a defining figure of the UK’s post-punk and new wave movement.


In this candid interview, she shares insights into her creative process, how AI has helped her write songs, the importance of collaboration in music, and how she continues to challenge expectations more than four decades on.
