It's a show packed with sport, comics, and community. First up, they catch up with Anthony from the Bristol Bisons — the South West's first inclusive rugby team, who are celebrating their 20th anniversary. The Bisons are heading to Brisbane, Australia for the Bingham Cup (the Gay Rugby World Cup), named after Mark Bingham, a 9/11 hero and gay rugby player who helped prevent United Flight 93 from reaching its target. The tournament runs from 19th to 23rd August, and Anthony shares what it means to be part of a club that's grown from a small group to a herd of 60-70 members. "For a lot of us, it was finding a space that was safe," he says. "We really are our own tribe — many of us have developed lifelong friendships and found our chosen family."Later, Chris and Nate from PrideCAF (Pride Comic Art Festival) return to the studio after a year off — and they're bigger than ever. Now taking over the entire first floor of Sparks (the old M&S building), this year's festival on Saturday 19th September will feature over 80 LGBTQ+ comic artists, up from 60 last year. Guests include Hamish Steele (creator of Dead Endia on Netflix) and Oli Hicks (co-creator of the softball lesbian romance Grand Slam Romance). Entry is free, with donations welcome, and the team are especially proud that the festival was the first LGBTQ+ dedicated comic art festival of its kind in the UK. "Comics and zines have such a rich history in queer culture," Chris explains. "They were used to spread information about the AIDS epidemic — it was very punk to be a gay comic artist."Terry is in with the news, including a devastating Islamist terrorist attack at Berlin Pride, civil servants being banned from attending the Bristol Pride March, and Sam Smith partnering with BBC Introducing to give 10 up-and-coming musicians the chance to open for their UK residency shows.

John is joined by Arlo Parks and Baird to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Ambiguous Desire'. Arlo Parks is an indie-pop singer-songwriter from West London. After uploading demos to BBC Introducing as a teenager, she quickly attracted industry attention. Her debut album, ‘Collapsed in Sunbeams', arrived in 2021, establishing Arlo as one of the defining artists of her generation and earning her the Mercury Prize and two Grammy nominations. Arlo's third record, the more electronic-focused ‘Ambiguous Desire', was released in April 2026, co-written and produced by Baird, along with additional collaborators Paul Epworth and Sampha. Sitting down at Strongroom Studios in London, with Baird joining online, Arlo and Baird discuss the “runaway train” of their symbiotic creative process and how they recreated the feel of the club and dancefloor through the record's distinctive grooves. They share never previously heard freestyles, demos and vocal tracking secrets from the studio, and they answer questions from our Patreon community!

John is joined by Holly Humberstone and Rob Milton to talk about how they wrote, recorded and produced the album Cruel World. Holly Humberstone is a singer-songwriter from Grantham, England. After early support from BBC Introducing, her debut EP ‘Falling Asleep at the Wheel' gained widespread attention during the pandemic, earning a BRIT Rising Star win and two Ivor Novello nominations. Her debut album 'Paint My Bedroom Black', arrived in 2023, and reached the UK top 5, while tours with Taylor Swift and Olivia Rodrigo boosted her global profile. Her second album, Cruel World, was released in April 2026, working with long-time collaborator, producer Rob Milton. Sitting down at Baltic Studios, the trio discuss the record's influences, from The 1975 to Fleetwood Mac. They break down ‘To Love Somebody' from early voice notes to final master, explore harmony techniques on ‘Cruel World', and Holly reflects on how industry pressures shaped ‘Beauty Pageant', alongside sharing their essential plug-ins and gear.
