Listen Bitch! Games

There’s apologies, and then there’s apologies… Jordan and Miquita debate the politics around Ed Sheeran saying sorry on stage after his support acts left his Loop tour in solidarity with Macklemore, who was previously removed from Ed’s line-up by US stadium owner Robert Kraft. There’s been a lot going on. Meanwhile on Saturday night TV, Miquita considers the true meaning of Strictly with its new hosts Emma Willis, Josh Widdicombe and Johannes Radebe, plus Jordan finds comedy in Rizzle Kicks being spoofed by SNL UK.Get weekly recommendations for things to watch or read or listen to from the Miss Me?

We really didn’t know where this one would go but thanks Miss Me? listeners, as ever the questions being asked on ‘eras of time’ are iconic. From whether the 90s really were the best, to whether calling everything an ‘era’ now has diluted the power of that word. Somewhere along the way Miquita and Jordan also end up in a debate over whether all celebrities can be called icons or if that’s reserved for the lofty artistic heights of just a few. Next week we’re after your voice note questions on CHEMISTRY. If you want to take it to chemical equations that’s as valid as a deep dive into Ryan Gosling’s chemistry with Rachel McAdams on The Notebook, just as an example. WhatsApp us on ‘chemistry’ to https://wa.me/447849030711Get weekly recommendations for things to watch or read or listen to from the Miss Me?
