Luther Andros who knows hello, welcome back to a new series of Out with

Susie Ruffle. I've been bevering away all over the summer to get some great

episodes for you. I've got a bunch of them that are already in the bag,

some have said yes, some are yet to respond, some have said no, but I do have a lineup of fantastic

interviews for you. And today's I'm just so excited about, it's Darren Hayes from Savage Garden. Now I'm 35. I feel like if you are like within

chance of that they were fantastic but for me at that pivotal moment of my teenage years oh they

What an incredible man, what a kind person to spend some time with us. I just fell in love with him as you will hear throughout the

episode but before we get to that as always I've got you listening emails
