In the final episode of the series, Mr Sync aka Alex joins Elle to reminisce on this summer's Glasto (drink every time they mention it) and assert that no one's too cool for Coldplay.
Alex pinpoints freedom as the focus of Fly Yellow Moon by Fyfe Dangerfield based purely on the artwork alone, they chat about the joy in whimsical songs and the power of discovering music as a teenager.
We also learn how best to secure an encore at a gig but perhaps most importantly, an insane fact about worms.

Elle's joined by life-long friend, music photographer and all-round creative, Jamie to reminisce on the music they listened to as kids, chat heartbreak and throwing yourself into work while touching on how much Jamie hates puzzles.
Elle runs through the unknowable clarity of Painless by Nilüfer Yanya and how it resonates for reasons unknown and they celebrate music that sounds like a stream of consciousness with a little detour discussing Jamie's next tattoo.
Flying into an active volcano in a squirrel suit, recording backstage at the Brits with Ed Sheeran and Bring Me the Horizon plus the wonder of Shaun the Sheep also get airtime. So, you know, just the usual.

This week, Danielle joins Elle and learns about the wild story of Sixto Rodriguez and his debut album 'Cold Fact', they talk about the monumental rise to fame of The Last Dinner Party and reminisce about some of their fave Radio 1 Live Lounge covers.
Elle and Danielle also don't hold back as they delve into heavy music and heavy topics, covering everything from death, drugs and music as social commentary. But it's all tempered with a shout-out for N Dubz and their love (and relief) at having Brixton Academy back and better than ever. -
Elle's joined by Andrea, aka Caz, to chat about the art of curating an album, managing the band Joan Smith & the Jane Does and hopping on the Sabrina Carpenter bandwagon.
Caz is introduced to the 'warmly weird and off-kilter charm' of fellow countryman, Mac Demarco when Elle gives a rundown of his album 'Rock and Roll Nightclub', and explains why Fred Again's music is time travel for her.
However, perhaps most importantly, we all learn a lesson in what it's like to tour the Canadian wilderness with a children's music duo.

In this episode, Cam raves about Mk.gee's trailblazing guitar, Elle shouts out Antony Szmierek's signature sound and they both think about the relativity of being 'in tune'.
Plus, Elle unpicks the Electro-Alternative Scandi pop of MØ's 'No Mythologies to Follow', as they reflect on playing songs to death and processing feelings through music. Cam shares what it's like to have your guitar hero play something you've written and all the cool places he's performed with Aziyah, including supporting Florence & the Machine at the O2. Justin Bieber, Michael Bolton and David Beckham also get a lot of air time (yes, you read that right).

In the first episode of the pod, Elle and Liam talk Fedoras, imagine they're on holiday in Italy thanks to Jimmy Fontana and discuss how the acoustics of a festival stage can make all the difference to an Arctic Monkeys' headline show. Liam guesses what Angie McMahon's 'SALT' sounds like purely based on the album's artwork, Elle’s Aussie accent gets the seal of approval and they both agree that Pulp is the answer to the Britpop ultimatum.

Join Elle and her mates as they chat all things music - gigs, 'guilty' pleasures, records old and new, festivals and everything in between.
Brace yourselves for some questionable puns and lots of laughs as each week, whether they're a musician or manager, journalist or label side, they indulge in speaking uninterrupted about music, something that it's all too easy not to do when you're caught up in the whirlwind of the industry.
