Danny hangs out (virtually, of course) with Jack Rogers, frontman of London-based punk upstarts Out of Love, just days before the release of their debut EP, 'I Am Not Me'. Over the course of their Zoom call, they talk about the formation of the band and all the plans which have since been scuppered by the teeny-weeny matter of a global pandemic... It's not all doom and gloom, however: along the way they also chat about Jack's work ...

Danny teams up not only with longtime friends of the podcast, but with another pod entirely! At the start of lockdown, Ben Pollard and Dan Fisher set out to watch 100 films starring the much-misunderstood (and equally as misguided) actor Nicolas Cage, in as many days. They have been documenting their hilarious and sometimes harrowing experiences through their new podcast, Uncaged, which Danny recently appeared on!
