Latest Episode

On the latest episode: Featuring legendary music journalist Billy Sloan, whose 50-year career has placed him at the heart of the music scene. In conversation with Marcus, Billy reflects on his journey from a humble upbringing in Glasgow to becoming Scotland’s leading pop writer. Taking a major pay cut to pursue journalism, his determination led to regular interviews with icons including David Bowie, Grace Jones, Paul McCartney and Rod Stewart.

Billy shares vivid stories, from early encounters with The Who to unforgettable interviews—like interviewing to Grace Jones while she was in the bath—and meeting a young Bono, whose confidence signalled U2’s future success.

This episode captures highlights of an extraordinary career, Billy’s passion for music, his reflections on the industry’s evolution and the importance of being a true fan.
