• The One With Sharon-Rose Mensah
    Jul 20 2024

    Since I first met Sharon, she has been a source of inspiration to me, as she is to many others.

    As a budding trainee lawyer, I relied heavily on our friendship and her professional guidance, and I’ll owe a debt of gratitude to Sharon forever.

    Naturally, this episode is heavy on music, politics, the law, and the routes into the most coveted roles in our business: “music lawyer”.

    Sharon has built a roster that reflects who she is, which is creative, clever, and unendingly inspiring.

    This one is the last of season one, and I'm so glad we can end this chapter on a high.

    Best,

    Will

  • The One With Simon Jones
    Jul 8 2024

    This week’s guest is Simon Jones, the Senior Vice President of Live Music at AEG Presents, one of the world’s leading companies in live entertainment. Simon has spent almost 14 years at AEG building their international touring arm and promoting some incredible shows and tours.

    In 2024, the Arthur Award-winning promoter and AEG will be at the heart of staging twenty-six dates with Ed Sheeran for his +–=÷x Tour, as well as fifty sold-out Taylor Swift shows, including eight nights at London’s Wembley Stadium in the UK.

    This one was recorded at a time when there was a global ban on live music and nobody knew when it would be returning. Listening back, it's no surprise why the world’s most celebrated artists admire and respect him as much as they do.

    With love, Will

  • The One With Dot Major
    Jul 1 2024

    In this episode, I have a chat with a brother who discourses on squishing people's heads over pocket money (and then it gets funny) and the nature of brotherhood.

    Dot is eloquent and insightful. The topics we cover are broad, and it was such a pleasure to be given the chance to distill our many conversations into one recording.

    Kind, gentle, and creative, this episode has left an inedible mark on me.

  • The One With Eloise
    Jul 1 2024

    In this episode, I talk to one of the brightest stars I've ever met, and this one has remained a personal favourite of mine.

    While she is the most proficient musician and writer in any room she walks into, Eloise's humanity has also allowed her to develop these skills in acting.

    Attempting to tap into how gifted she is, I try my best to discourse with a profound talent covering niche break-ups and her need to connect through matters of the heart.

    Early doors, we discuss the beginning of her creative journey, including writing and acting with Damon Albarn who once described her as "the girl with the bob".

    Lastly, we discussed mental health issues in some detail, which I found nourishing but worth flagging.

    With love, Wilt

  • The One With Sam Stewart
    Jun 24 2024

    Without Sam, I wouldn't have an ounce of the compassion, love, or competitive spirit that I I have.

    If you judge a person by the company you keep then I must be f***ked.

    Jokes aside, this one felt good to do, and listening back I'm reminded why friendship is one of the most important forces in the known universe.

    I hope you enjoy listening to this as much I had recording it.

  • The One With Mum
    Jun 24 2024

    This one is like a moving photograph and inspired me to start this podcast.

    I wanted to capture a conversation with my mum that I could always look back on. If you can take one thing away from this, please sit down with the ones you love and take note. One day they'll be gone and it's nice to look back at the pictures.

    It's crazy to think this conversation took place almost five years ago when some of what we discuss is so prescient.

  • The One With David Graver
    Jun 17 2024

    Your favorite writer's favorite writer.

    This is a meditation on friendship.

    David has the ineffable ability to cause a scene wherever he is with scant regard to how appropriate it may be, which is what made me fall in love with him almost twenty years ago.

    In this episode, we discuss being a white gay man living in contemporary New York City and David provides insight into his rich creative life and process.

  • The One With Bruno Major
    Jun 17 2024

    In this episode, I have a chat with Bruno Major. A singular talent and since this recording he has amassed over a billion streams of his unique brand of blue-eyed soul.

    He speaks guitar better than he does English, no small feat for a man as erudite as he is.

    This episode is funny, there's a bit of swearing and you might notice that I'm trying to keep up with one of my smartest friends.

    With love, Will
