Despite some gentle technical hiccups it was an amazing interview and worth listening for this lovely lady alone!
On top of that we had the amazing Stephen Carmichael call in to chat about his upcoming performance with his new band "YouthFire".
All of that plus all our regular segments, including You know what I love? (J-Lo anyone?), Freak of the Week (Hello IKEA!) and What's got Johns goat this week is ever so interesting.
