What does the response to Kneecap’s Coachella performance tell us about the current relationship between music festivals and political expression? Annie and Nick are joined by BBC Music Correspondent, Mark Savage, to decipher the fallout from the rap trio’s set. Elsewhere, from conical bras to London’s West End – Self Esteem has found a new fan in Madonna, but would you want to know if pop royalty was in the crowd before or after going on stage? Plus, there’s a composer in Australia who’s making music beyond the grave, Annie’s spent her holiday doing family rap battles - and what it feels like to ride Bad Bunny (the horse).
