In episode 75 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean catch up on personal updates before diving into the strange cultural phenomenon of Christmas music and why it often sounds so melancholy. They discuss Kylie Minogue’s latest festive release called XMAS, her enduring legacy, and the ongoing obsession with Christmas number one songs in the UK.
The conversation then shifts to more serious territory, including gun control in Australia following the Bondi attacks, the current political climate around free speech in the UK, and the troubling way victims are often sidelined in high profile cases like the Epstein files. Along the way, Josh and Sean discuss vegan news including new restaurants and Golden Gaytime ice creams.
As ever, the chat is honest, thoughtful, funny, and unfiltered, moving comfortably between pop culture, politics, and personal experiences.
Enjoy the ride!

This week they chat about Sean’s recent experience at the Lady Gaga concert in Brisbane, Australia including the security mishaps and thwarted stage invader. The hosts then move on to complaining about the general cost of living in the modern world and ask “Why is everything a subscription?”.
There is also a BIG discussion on season 5 of Stranger Things, the retro-tinged, sci-fi smash hit from Netflix. Josh and Sean reflect on the show’s growth over the years, their likes and dislikes, and how the Lily Allen album West End Girl means they will never be able to look at David Harbour the same again.

Josh and Sean are back for another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), this time trying to tackle several big questions facing humanity. Are we past the point of no return when it comes to the natural world? How is capitalism and human exploitation connected to the degradation of the planet? Just a couple of lighthearted topics!
They also chat about the impact of drinking and addiction on mental health, sharing their own personal stories and varying experiences of dependency, and take a detour to discuss the sensational new film Homebound by filmmaker Neeraj Ghaywan.
It’s not a laugh a minute in this episode but you can rely on the hosts to be somewhat irreverent, self-deprecating, and ill-informed in their usual way.

Josh and Sean are back with another episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), the podcast where two exes who are still great fiends talk about life, pop, and politics.
This week finds the pair decompressing after their trip to Paris to see Lady Gaga in concert. While Gaga was incredible, the anti-social behaviour of the audience ruined the experience. Is this a growing trend of filming on phones, getting too drunk, and talking loudly?
The vegan food scene of Paris also gets unpacked, while the pair also go on a trip down memory lane to discuss the life and career of pop culture icon Udo Kier following his passing.

Josh shares the tale of his ongoing hand injury before the pair dive into the 2025 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductees, celebrating Cyndi Lauper, Salt-N-Pepa, and the legends who shaped music history. They unpack the nostalgia of classic music videos, YouTube’s strange power to shape our listening habits, and the curious role of Cleveland in rock mythology.
The conversation broadens into a deep reflection on the meaning of awards such as The Grammys, comparing icons like Juan Gabriel and Dolly Parton, before turning to modern life such as the chaos of British weather, the legality of phones in schools, and how we talk to young people about explicit online content.
Closing on a heartfelt note, Josh and Sean discuss masculinity, shared responsibility, and the importance of empathy in a changing world.

They kick things off by unpacking the genius of Absolutely Fabulous including its place in British comedy, generational humour, and lasting cultural impact. From there, Josh recounts his recent night at a Suzanne Vega concert, sparking a heartfelt chat about live music, the Royal Albert Hall, and their excitement for the upcoming Lady Gaga concert in Paris.
The conversation takes a spontaneous detour to Manchester, where Sean reflects on the city’s creative pulse and community feel especially compared to the complex energy of London. From quirky bars to vegan groceries, the pair explore why this Northern city is so loved.
They also share thoughts on the British royal family’s latest controversies and what they reveal about modern Britain. Why do we put up with this from these people?

In this episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive into a packed conversation that swings from royal scandals to societal collapse.
They kick things off with the impact of daylight savings and explore the UK royal family’s immense wealth, privilege, and the lingering controversies surrounding Prince Andrew (now known as Prince Mountbatten Windsor). The hosts unpack public frustration with the monarchy, the abuse of power among elites, and how wealth hoarding connects to the slow-motion collapse of society as we know it.
The discussion turns philosophical as they explore how past civilizations have fallen, what wealth inequality looks like today, and whether we’re repeating the same mistakes.
From there, the mood lightens as they reflect on Lily Allen’s artistic journey, her deeply personal new album, and the emotional truth in her songwriting. David Harbour’s ears will be burning! They also dip into the cult TV world of Dark Shadows and wrap things up with a chat about Halloween, nostalgia, and the strange comfort of spooky traditions.

In this episode, Josh and Sean dive into the strange fascination people have with the tragedy of 9/11 and the world-changing events at the World Trade Centre. Sean opens up about his own deep curiosity for the disaster and wonders whether it’s tied to his own history of trauma.
The conversation explores the lasting health impacts faced by those who lived, worked, or volunteered near Ground Zero, and how similar struggles are now being endured by survivors of the ongoing destruction in Gaza.
Things lighten up (sort of) as the pair revisit the cult classic The Lost Boys, discussing its enduring influence on pop culture, the darkness behind its legacy, and the heartbreaking story of young star Corey Haim.

In this episode, Josh and Sean take you on a journey to the sun-soaked shores of San Fruttuoso and Portofino, Italy and back again to the stark realities of wealth inequality and migration politics of the UK.
The conversation widens into a bigger picture: how migration debates miss the real causes of economic struggle, why the left needs to engage more meaningfully, and how unions once shaped attitudes around social justice but are now being locked out of political discourse. Overpopulation, resource management, and capitalism’s role in fuelling inequality all get a mention.

Josh and Sean are back with another episode that jumps from the silly to the serious and everywhere in between.
This week they explore different cultural traditions, from the Mexican rat version of the tooth fairy to the curious Christmas custom of feeding and then beating a log with a stick. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into celebrity territory as they discuss Lady Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky, his impressive achievements, and what this says about wealth, privilege, and the whole “nepo baby” phenomenon.
From there, they move into politics and art, reflecting on the latest Banksy piece in London, if Lily Tomlin was in Grease, and the ongoing trauma faced by the Palestinian people. It’s an episode that balances humour, pop culture, and some deeply important issues.
Listen in, laugh with us, and maybe even question the world around you a little more.

In episode 60 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive into a mix of music, politics, and pop culture with their usual humour.
Sean shares his thoughts on Lady Gaga’s new music video for The Dead Dance, directed by Tim Burton and filmed on Mexico City’s eerie Island of Dolls in Xochimilco. They explore the legends behind the setting and its haunting atmosphere.
The hosts also dig into the troubling history of The Biggest Loser and reality TV’s exploitative side, asking what compassionate campaigns for wellness should look like. Representation of fatness in media takes centre stage as they reflect on harmful stereotypes and the desperate need for better narratives.
And of course, no episode would be complete without a dose of politics, this time questioning accountability in the wake of Angela Rayner’s resignation.
Join Josh and Sean for conversation that moves from spooky dolls to serious reflections, with plenty of laughter along the way.

In Episode 57 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive deep into the quirks and questions of modern life. From a doorstep run-in with Jehovah’s Witnesses to the blurred lines between cults and consumerism, this week’s chat covers identity, stereotypes, and the strange cultural pull of the Labubu craze.
They also explore the side effects of weight loss medications like Mounjaro, reflect on societal values, and debate the enduring cultural significance of Superman, especially with David Corenswet stepping into the cape. This episode is all about what it means to live (and sometimes stumble) in today’s world.
Enjoy the ride!

Josh and Sean start this episode with the small but necessary stuff (life admin, weather chat, energy companies, and travel memories) before spiralling into a full-on rant fest about AI disinformation and how technology is changing the way we think, trust, and create.
Expect musings on whether AI can ever be ethical, why it might be dangerous in mental health contexts, and the problematic reality of using AI in creative industries. They also explore the erosion of trust in media, the difficulty of separating fact from fiction, and the cultural connections that keep us connected.
It’s a journey from the everyday to the existential with a few laughs, a bit of nostalgia, and plenty to think about along the way.
