In this week’s episode we look at the conflict and tension that comes natural when there is out you like from awful people. Sparked by the new Michael Jackson biopic, we discuss.

We also share a poem from Tim Buckley, the father of actor Jessie Buckley, after she talked about her dad’s poems on the Desert Island Discs radio show with Lauren Laverne.

A poem from Patti Smith before music by Becca Colley to end the show. Lovely hurling.

On a break next week as we plan/perform at a few live gigs but we’ll be back asap.
