Seeing as it is Christmas I thought it was time to pull the stops out and do a Mad, Sad and Bad special. Today we’re turning the show on its head as I get interviewed by the person who knows me better than anyone else in the world…my mum! For the first time I’m reversing roles and sitting in the hotseat while my mum asks ME about my mad, sad and bad. I spill my stories of working in a fetish club to make some extra cash, we reflect on the heartbreak of losing one of my best friends and we speak openly about our experiences in relationships. My mum also tells me about her wild days, kissing men in New York and streaking with friends. 😱This felt like a special one, it’s not often me and my mum get to sit down and reflect on life together.—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Emilia GillVideo: Lizzie McCarthy & @jakeji.pVideo Edit: Joel SommazziSound: Rafi AmsiliMix: Dan KingAssistant Producer: Alex ReedOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima Rathbone & @ewannewbigginglisterExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Leslie Jones is one of the funniest people I’ve ever met. From SNL to Supermarket Sweep to Sing the movie, she is a force to be reckoned with. She simultaneously speaks truth to power whilst making people howl with laughter - a joy to have over!Leslie didn’t hold back talking about the self-improvement many men don’t engage with and how it is we are accidentally raising fuck boys. She also shares the saddest time of her life when she found out she’d lost her brother whilst on set and how she dealt with the grief. I can’t remember the last time I’ve laughed that much!!What an incredible episode to finish the series with - can’t wait for more, but in the meantime, we’ve got quite the archive for you to enjoy!#LESLIEJONES #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneVideo: Grisha Nikolsky & Josh BennettSound: Shane O'BryneMix: Jay BealeOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Estelle is an artist I’ve always looked up to - she can rap, she can sing, she can write - she’s conquered America but she’s a London girl at heart, so I was really excited to have her over to mine.After the phenomenal success of ‘American Boy’, Estelle shot to dizzying and mad heights of fame - we talk about the insanity of touring and how she made opportunity for herself, taking a chance and introducing herself to Kanye West. Estelle shares with me the pain of losing her grandmother and we discuss the power of a strong matriarch in a family unit.I also ask Estelle about her current relations with American Boys and introduce her to one of my own (NB might actually be from Bromley…)Also thanks to my mate, Seye Adelekan for playing so beautifully to us - you can follow him here: www.instagram.com/seyemusic#ESTELLE #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneVideo: Grisha Nikolsky & Josh BennettSound: Shane O'BryneMix: Rafi AmsiliOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Trixie Mattel is a drag queen who rose to fame in Season 7 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, and later won Season 3 of the All-Stars, but more importantly, she took my song, Bad Woman, and turned it into a banging gay anthem!Together we chat about heartbreak and the madness it can drive us to, but the solace of boredom and simple things. We laugh about how full glam can be embarrassing when parenting and also when you’re stopped at customs travelling with a suitcase of drag outfits (or disguises!). We also talk about the state of America and the mess of keeping yourself informed whilst not losing your mind - Trixie spoke about not running but staying to fight the fight.I had so much fun with Trixie - we even have a little impromptu performance of Bad Woman - heaven! Now please can you help me get on RuPaul's Drag Race as a guest judge??#TRIXIEMATTEL #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Jemima RathboneVideo: Grisha Nikolsky & Josh BennettSound: Shane O'BryneMix: Rafi AmsiliOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Jemima RathboneExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.
