Among many things Kat is an actor with the Royal Shakespeare Company, was much loved teacher Amy Spratt in Waterloo Road, has appeared in Coronation Street, Vera, Rules of the Game, Three Girls and films My Cousin Rachel, England is Mine and loads more. 

 

I was lucky enough to see Kat play Puck in the RSC’s production of Midsummer Night’s Dream at the Barbican in London earlier this year where I adored her take on Puck, a super physical, rock n’ roll take on the iconic character. So in today’s chat we talk a lot about Puck, as well as keeping Shakespeare relevant and diverse, stereotypes in casting, mainstream TV acting and getting your own film project off the ground. This was such a gorgeous, honest chat about being a full-time creative in 2025 and I was so grateful for my time with Kat. Enjoy!

We also talk about his latest EP, ‘Taped Over’, the place for nostalgia in song writing, video & cassette culture plus the hazards of going to a print shop and printing off hundreds of copies of your own face.

Franz is a host and producer, including Quiz with the Queers (a camp blend of pub quiz and Queer ridiculousness) and SPEW, the scratch night for young Queer performers. Every first Wednesday he also fills the airways with his own radio show DRAG DINGS, together with his partner in crime, Dan Chan.

Franz performed all through the Eurovision celebrations here in the city and like me is a bit of a super fan. So as well as re-living all things Eurovision that have consumed the city over the last two weeks (including Sophie Ellis-Bextor playing a set in John Lewis), we chat about the German and UK cabaret scene, Franz’s very particular brand of drag: subverting masculine stereotypes with effeminate performances, and we also discuss the importance of scratch nights to encourage a new, diverse range of performers gain confidence. Enjoy!

A key figure in the international cabaret scene, Mat started out as a street performer in Covent garden, where he honed his craft, blending astonishing feats, with quick wit and sharp suits.

Mat is multi-award-winning, taking his act all over the world, where he’s had had residencies in legendary venues, been on numerous tv shows and recently had a role in a Hollywood film. When we chatted had just finished touring his new show which he’d taken to the Edinburgh fringe.

Alongside performing, Mat is a writer, speaker and photographer, and I really enjoyed his YouTube channel during lockdown and his podcast, Imagination and Junk, all about the creative process.

It was an honour to spend time talking to Mat as I’ve been such a fan for many years, and this episode of full of his incredible stories, wit, humour. Enjoy!

With a following of over 100,000 Instagram followers and more than half a million on Tiktok, Addy’s content has earned her the title of one of the top UK based content creators within her field. She has modelled for key J-fashion brands and most recently has collaborated with koi footwear on her own range.

Addy’s personal fashion is based in the Yamikawaii and Menhera subcultures. For those unfamiliar with J-fashion, Yamikawaii is a Japanese aesthetic that has an emphasis on dark themes and colors and Menhera fashion uses medical imagery like pills, plasters, and syringes. Its considered a ‘vent art’ style, regarded as form of art therapy that helps the wearer. In addition, vent art is now seen an important way to challenge social stigmas and encourage conversations around mental health.

Addy’s content is a brilliant combination of Yamikawaii fashion and style, alongside informative and interesting videos about key cultural issues, including art theft, Asian fishing, cringe culture, AI art trends, and various issues around mental health and neurodiversity.

Addy’s trademark honest, open and uncompromising style has made her one of my favourite creators, and in today’s chat we talk about her explosion online and all that comes with it, her journey in fashion and how it links to her own self-expression and mental health. 

Just a quick warning: There are swears in out chat plus discussion of self-harm and suicide, so listener discretion advised.

 Enjoy the episode!

I caught up with the fellas via zoom and have a lovely rambly chat about that incredible tour, but also how Barbara is much more than a band, as we talk about various influences, comedy, cult films, books and even a bit of wrestling. Huge thanks to Barbara for the use of their music throughout the pod. Enjoy!

]]> This week I’m super chuffed to be chatting to Barbara, AKA brothers Henry and John, a Brighton based band who grabbed my attention when I saw them on tour with The Divine Comedy a few months ago; their 70's sound coupled with witty lyrics, energetic performance and a few excellent tank tops was irresistible and I've been listening to their new EP 'Mildly Entertaining' ever since. I caught up with the fellas via zoom and have a lovely rambly chat about that incredible tour, but also how Barbara is much more than a band, as we talk about various influences, comedy, cult films, books and even a bit of wrestling. Huge thanks to Barbara for the use of their music throughout the pod. Enjoy!

Among her many accolades, Perle has been named one of the world’s top burlesque performers by 21st Century Burlesque Magazine for ten years in a row. After spending several years as a cast member in Dita Von Teese’s stage show ‘Strip, Strip Hooray’, Perle went on to complete a stint in Velvet – a musical starring Australian disco diva and superstar Marcia Hines at The Sydney Opera House.


Perle continually challenges herself with new ventures, including performances with her  award-winning dance company, The House of Noire and her new transformative Healing Through Seduction series. In 2020, she presented the world with The Noire Pageant, the only burlesque pageant dedicated to uplifting the BIPOC community through healing events.


It was a true pleasure to talk to Perle as I caught up with her via zoom to hear more about her philosophy around healing through seduction and how she continues to push boundaries in her artform. Enjoy!

Rozzz is a Birmingham based artist who I first saw on YShee Black’s epic digital show case Blessed and Highly Flavoured back in 2020, and I was totally captivated with Rozzz’s incredible sound, which blends jazz and blues music with modern urban lyrics.

We spoke the day before Rozz released her brand new EP ‘Damned if I Don’t, which as you listen to this will be out, so in this episode we chat about putting the EP together as an independent artist, fixing inner turmoil in lockdown, naked affirmations, Kat Slater and load more.

As a extra treat Rozz also performs her track ‘No One Understands’ live towards the end of the pod.

My sound quality is a wee bit echoey in this episode so I apologise for that, but you can hear Rozzz perfectly which is the main thing. 

Enjoy!
