Anya Jones epitomises the reason for this podcast in that she is one of the only people I know to successfully make the transition from A&R where at Syco she was instrumental in  up 120 Million sales including for Little Mix, Susan Boyle and Ella Henderson to a world class songwriter currently enjoying success with Kylie, Birdy. Dylan, Benjamin Ingrosso , Tom Grennan and Rita Ora amongst others . Her emotional connection to music is one of many reasons why I've always adored her and you'll hear it so many examples of it throughout this wonderful episode.

Martyn Ware is one of the true pioneers of electronic music both as a founding member of The Human League , Heaven 17 and British Electric Foundation. He's also a highly respected producer with credits including Tina Turner, Terence Trent D'arby and Erasure and most recently a revered podcaster with his brilliant “Electronically Yours” series. I've admired his work tremendously from an early age discovering the League's early work like "Being Boiled", Dave Seaman and I remixed "Temptation" as Brothers In Rhythm in the 90s and we were lucky enough to have Heaven 17 perform at 80s Classical recently so this was such an honour for me to talk to him. Hope you enjoy.

On this episode I'm talking to a group that have been doing what they do – famously, in the words of former manager Pete Waterman, ‘ABBA on speed' – for the entirety of the time that I've been an adult. In fact, I'd like to dedicate this episode to my old friend Stacey Smith for teaching me the dance moves to '5,6,7,8' in the sixth form common room of Armthorpe Comprehensive, many moons ago...I am of course talking about the British pop sensation Steps, and what follows is a conversation I had last week with Lee-Latchford Evans, Claire Richards and Lisa Scott-Lee, about the pressures of pop stardom, who the nicest member of the Manic Street Preachers is, the band's forthcoming show in my hometown of Doncaster, as well as delving into some interesting stuff I've never heard them talk about regarding the formation of the group way back in 1997. Because this August the group release a new greatest hits, entitled The Platinum Collection, which celebrates the band's 25 years in showbiz – I urge you to go check out the band's corresponding publicity shots, no really, go do that, right this second – which they're promoting with shows and festival appearances though July until September. I'll be at one of them. Seeing if I remember the '5,6,7,8' moves. Enjoy the episode!The James McMahon Music Podcast is a Spoook Media production.

There are so many times I hear a song that I instantly fall in love with then find out it was written by Fiona Bevan. I describe her to people as 'magical' , her lyrics are poetry and her melodies are divine plus that truly angelic voice on her solo material is perfection. Here she talks about growing up in a house without pop music but finding inspiration in books and movies to forming a band and that moment when she called her friend Ed Sheeran to try a co-write which ended up being "Little Things" covered by One Direction a year later and one of their biggest and best records. From then on it's been a fine balance of writing with and for other artists including Steps, Aurora, Billie Marten , Claire Richards, Natalie Imbruglia and Kylie alongside releasing her own superb EP's and albums culminating in the current project "Faultlines" and "Revelations" which see Fiona producing herself and with breathtaking results. You can probably tell I absolutely adore her and I know you will too after listening to this episode - please do check out her songs and original material too especially "We Carry On" by Peter Greenwald which encapsulates beauty in a way rarely captured in a piece of music.

They recently finished an arena tour - where I was their support act and experienced for myself what incredible fans they have - almost like a giant, joyful family!We talked about pre-performance nerves, how Claire manages to compartmentalise her work and homelife, and about how working makes her feel she comes home as a better mum to children Charlie and Daisy. We also talked about Claire's relationship with food and how she never wants her children to go through that. Plus we laughed about the ridiculousness of our jobs, with Claire winning on this occasion as she recently had to die on stage every night in War of the Worlds, in front of her husband played by Duncan from Blue dressed as a vicar!

It's an absolute Tragedy that it's taken the Right Back At Ya! boys this long to get to Steps but love (and your requests) have got a hold on our hearts, so here we are diving into one of Britain's most important pop groups of the 90s and early 2000s.Unlike a lot of the pop faves we cover, we're so lucky to still have Steps actively making music and touring to this day; but on this episode Joel and David go right back to "Step One"... literally. We cover the formation of the band with Claire Richards, Ian "H" Watkins, Lisa Scott-Lee, Faye Tozer and Lee Latchford-Evans (aka The Latch, aka The JB's childhood heartthrob) through to the peak of their careers. When Steps burst on the scene with the boot-scootin' and line-dancing '5,6,7,8' in 1997, no one could've predicted what a phenomenon they'd become. The fantastic five swiftly went on to sell over 20 million records worldwide, clocking up 14 consecutive UK Top 5 singles, and three multi-platinum albums in three years, selling out arena shows along the way!Joel and David share memories of Steps from their childhoods in Essex and Malaysia, and what they've come to adore from the "Step One" and "Steptacular" albums over time - including all the bangers you stan from 'Last Thing On My Mind' to 'Deeper Shade of Blue', 'Tragedy' to 'One For Sorrow', 'Love's Got A Hold On My Heart', and 'Summer of Love'... just to name a few. Get out your old Steps CDs, unfold the signature choreography tutorials inside, and start reliving the magic that's Better Best (Not) Forgotten!Follow Right Back At Ya!  https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/https://twitter.com/rightbackpodhttps://www.facebook.com/rightbackpodCheck out our Spotify playlists https://open.spotify.com/user/1c3ks5jdh2x4j7jdg1o0aglwgFollow Joel https://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/https://twitter.com/DR_JoelBFollow David https://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/https://twitter.com/lovelimmy Email us rightbackpod@gmail.com

I was aware of Steps as a young teen (5,6,7,8 and Tragedy were played on all the music channels all the time) but exactly how big they were I never realised before doing research for this interview. It was great to talk to Claire, Faye and Lee about the ups and downs in their career and to see them coming out more confident and happy on the other side with a new album What The Future Holds. As a line in the titletrack reads, the band has "one foot in the past and one foot in the future", they will always acknowledge the hits that got them to this point, but also look for new ways to surprise and excite their audience. A wonderful new chapter for the group has begun.By: Robin HignellSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/FaceCulture)

Claire Richards talks Steps and her new single!

When you lose something, there’s an emptiness, a hole, where that something used to be. And you have to figure out a way to keep living your life with that loss. Even though the emptiness will always be there, what can be gained from trying to fill it? What can be gained from losing? This episode has four stories about people who lose something, and then look for new things to fill the emptiness. A lifelong dream gets derailed by a butterfly knife, an athlete’s passion for her sport crumbles after an injury, a girl searches for something she isn’t really sure she wants to find, and a woman slowly loses her ability to hear.
