In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss the cultural legacy of pop superstars Madonna and Cyndi Lauper, ahead of the release of Madonna’s new album Confessions on a Dance Floor II.

The pair then chat about the 10th anniversary of the death of musical legend Prince. They talk about where they were when they heard the news, the effect his death had on them, and attempt to list their favourite Prince songs which turns out to be an extremely tough task.
