Summary
The Wonderful Róisín Murphy is our guest this week. Anyone else had her recent EP on repeat? It's so good. This is a great chat where Róisín tells me all about being schooled on the queer history of dance music by hanging out on the Manchester gay scene, putting Anna Wintour’s nose out of joint (figuratively), and the funniest story about how partying with P Diddy ended with a bump back down to earth. Plus I’m doing some agony uncle-ing and diving in to your thoughts on Harry Styles’ gender non-conforming clothes. Press play and enjoy. - Chris x

| 0:40.2 | I was ripe to be go from a small town to a city I think at that moment in my life. |
| 0:47.4 | It was much more difficult for my brother. |
| 0:51.2 | Then your family went back to Ireland, right, but you stuck around. |
| 0:55.6 | I did, yeah, I got a flat and it was a lovely flat, in a fantastic old Victorian house with |
| 1:02.5 | a big garden, like a walk straight out onto and I continued my studies through A levels |
| 1:10.1 | and then I went to Sheffield. |

| 1:20.3 | It was the best time in your life, really. |
| 1:22.8 | It was an extremely happy time and I can count that sort of level of happiness on one hand |
| 1:29.2 | the time I felt like and it was an extremely freeing time and I was, you know, absolutely |
| 1:38.4 | safe. |
| 1:39.4 | The way that I was, the background I'd had and then the fact that I was being supported |
| 1:45.6 | by housing benefit and I was getting money every week and I was surrounded by friends, |
