Hello Slackers! Subscribe Now!

Run The Jewels are the most incendiary group in rap in 2020. RTJ 4 proved that they are still levelling up and are the social grenade that is necessary. This episode of the Slacker podcast was recorded with El-P and was a riot from beginning to end.

My goal is to put out content numerous times a week. If you support the podcast on the Patreon Page by becoming a Patron then you give me the freedom to be able to make more content.

Hello Slackers

Welcome to this weeks podcast with the James Blunt! This was a very interesting chat with the man who made the biggest selling album of the 2000’s. I had so many questions for him. He had me in hysterics throughout. This is a must listen!

Hello Slackers

Welcome to this weeks podcast with Alt J! Gus from the band invited me into his home in East London. I didn’t take my shoes off! We played an early demo of ‘Leon’ and we chatted through some various and sometimes very random digressions.

Hello Slackers!

Hope you are all staying entertained and motivated on lock down. Here is a little distraction for you for the next hour. I sat down with Elly Jackson at the start of 2020 (notice when we talk about the rest of the year) and had a good old natter. She brought in a demo version of 'In For the Kill' and we spoke about so many various topics. She was up there as one of my favourite guests i've had on the podcast due to her complete honesty and her razor sharp tongue.
