Dance apocalyptic android divas!

This week we’ve got an absolute humdinger for you as we delve into the life and works of Kansas City sensation, Janelle Monáe Robinson. With Holly and Tom this episode to discuss the Electric Lady is another extraordinary talent: phenomenally eloquent, hilarious and all-round music machine, it’s singer and songwriter, Anoushka Lucas!

Join all three as they delve into Janelle’s background as a disappointed potential High School Dorothy, the conception of the iconic black & white “uniform” and her journey from the midwest to the booming music scene of Atlanta, Georgia.

Along the way, Anoushka comes to regret not choosing Dolly Parton as her subject, the three plot out a 6-part Netflix miniseries in which Beyoncé takes the White House and they all wax lyrical about the joy of chicken & waffles.
