Another Tuesday means another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong).
This week Josh and I chat about the rturn of the Muppet Show, our predictions for the Super Bowl half time show with Bad Bunny (we recorded the night before), and how pop culture has changed since we were young.
The conversation takes a darker turn as we discuss the revelations of the Epstein Files, particularly the facts coming to light around Peter Mandelson and what it means for the future of Keir Starmer.

I was strolling through London’s East End a few days ago when I spotted the ‘v’ word on a sign outside a community centre near Whitechapel.
I don’t take much convincing so I popped inside to take a look.

Once again it’s time for the FGV broken record as I repeat myself about a food trader I love and mention often.

Dear Trixie,
I want to start by saying this comes from a place of genuine admiration.
I am a long time fan. I listen to your albums, I buy your music, I consume your podcasts, I have been to your live shows, and yes, I even bought the sample swatches of the Trixie Mattel wallpaper because that level of commitment felt entirely reasonable and normal to me at the time!
You are someone whose work brings me a lot of joy and inspiration, which is why I am writing this open letter with care rather than criticism.
The London food scene is brutal and we say goodbye to businesses just as quickly as we welcome them.
But one vegan street food trader has been lovingly serving up his plant-based creations in the same spot for more than a decade.

We are back again with another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong).
Episode 80 finds me and Josh chatting about the sad passing of comedy legend Catherine O’Hara as well as the equally tragic MAGAfication of Nicki Minaj.
I also spend time complaining about an expensive vegan meal I had in central London. I was hot about it!

I like to think I know everything about vegan food. When somebody tries to tell me about a new plant-based product, chances are I already know about it and I’m insufferable about it.
But my know it all facade was cracked last week when I got to taste vegan sausages by a brand that was completely new to me.
