    For the final episode of this wonderful series of This City, I am joined by - let’s be honest - London Royalty. It’s drag superstar, model, published author and recording artist - Bimini Bon-Boulash!

From travelling to London as a kid and finding their people, to their days as a journalism student and nights out in their best charity shop fits, to getting woken up in their Brick Lane flat by Jack the Ripper tours… it’s all in here babes! As you would expect, Bimini is full of energy and tells me some incredible stories! Enjoy this episode and I will see you next time!

    Edward Enninful

    Welcome back to another episode of This City - and Happy New Year dear listener! I am, of course, delighted to introduce this weeks guest - my good friend and fellow Ghanaian, he’s a published author and the Editor-in-Chief of Vogue… it’s Edward Enninful! We start at Edward’s first London home in Vauxhall, before moving on to Ladbroke Grove, and then heading all over our fair city for various parties and club nights - even sneaking out to raves in Mitcham. And of course, you’ve got to get back from the parties, so the hallowed night bus gets a special mention in this episode! Talking to Edward was such a tonic, and SO much fun; we of course chat fashion, shopping, and which South London babe throws the best parties: Kate or Naomi?! Enjoy!

Stumbled across Clara’s podcast, and really love it. Great guests, interesting conversations and life stories. Having lived in London and utterly fell in love with it, I feel transported across the capital within the episodes!

Not a radio one listener!

Cannot tell you how pleased I was to see the trailer for the new series having only just found this podcast and listened to the lot! I find Clara’s enthusiasm while interviewing her guests infectious. Keep going Clara!
