Music supervisor, Ciara Elwis, joins Annie and Nick to talk about working with PJ Harvey, curating endless playlists and the lengths she’s gone to to get a song cleared.

Elsewhere, The Traitor’s has returned to our screens along with its iconic soundtrack – but who chooses the songs? Plus, we officially have our first Glastonbury headliner for 2025, SZA might be solely making children’s music from now on and Nick’s losing faith in Rihanna ever releasing new music.
