Matt Wilkinson, an Apple Music 1 host, discusses his take on the 00's era and what it's like interviewing some of the biggest names in music. Topics include: limited music scene in Cornwall, memorable concert in Liverpool, breaking into the music scene, collaborations of a prolific artist, interviewing Julian Casablanca in an Airbnb, reflections on 'Room on Fire', impact of bands like The Libertines and Arctic Monkeys, and musicians' career journeys with a funny story about Liam.

Conor McNicholas, Former NME Editor, discusses the 00's scene, how Arctic Monkeys killed the NME, and the real reason Pete Doherty & Kate Moss were kicked out of the NME Awards. They reflect on the rise and fall of bands, the importance of visuals and narratives, their unconventional journey to becoming an editor, and the influence of Pete Dokoty. They also touch on curating awards shows, protecting individuals from tabloids, the lack of diversity in British music, and the diminishing role of music press.
