Headstrong

Season 9 Episode 3: BustedWith all 3 members of the band, Matt Willis, James Bourne and Charlie Simpson, we enjoy some magic coffee and cake, which was the therapeutic activity of choice. We discussed the band in detail, and what that enormous success was like on them mentally in the early 2000s. The boys are releasing exciting new music and touring later in 2023, which you will not want to miss out on! This episode is sponsored by M&S Cafe. Magic Coffee is the drink that took the coffee capital of the world, Melbourne by storm, and now its available on the UK High Street for the first time. Magic Coffee® is available exclusively in its 330 Cafés across the UK.Magic Coffee® is made with a double ristretto, topped with the perfect amount of velvety steamed milk. It’s a short coffee (6oz) with a bold, intense flavour, but because it’s made with a double ristretto rather than a double espresso, it doesn’t have as much bitterness as other shorter coffees like a Flat White or Cortado. It’s called a Magic as it is quite literally the magic ratio of coffee to milk!Go try one now at your nearest M&S Cafe.__Want more?

I was lucky enough to sit down with England opening batsman Ben Duckett following the incredible win by the England Test Team on Monday 5th December 2022, in what is being dubbed one of the best Test matches of all time. Ben scored a ton in the opening innings, followed by a golden duck in the second, but played a significant role in this test win. We sat down to chat about his recall to the England set up and playing test cricket, the pressure he has put on himself as well as his relationship with partying early in his career.This episode is sponsored by Sixes Social Cricket.
