23 – Jake Stone

This week – something a bit different.

I am a very big fan of former Bluejuice frontman, comedian and broadcaster Jake Stone and feel very lucky indeed to count him as a friend. I think he’s extremely funny and creative but also has a darkness and a brutal honesty to him that I find fascinating.

This chat – recorded back in January of this year – covers Jake’s career with Bluejuice, the band’s philosophy, the state of today’s music industry, the major break-up in his life that inspired him so much and stilll haunts him, mental health issues and the experiecne of writing a good pop song.

Jake even kindly gave me a special little musical treat, just for this podcast: his cover of How Will I Know?. Enjoy!
