Ep 81 - Bad Bunny, the Muppets & the Epstein Fallout in the UK

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean discuss pop culture highlights and political low points of the week. The conversation starts with a celebration of pop legend Lady Gaga triumphing at the Grammy Awards with her rock infused performance, before morphing into a reflection on the Muppets and an assessment of the show’s return on Disney+. As the episode was recorded the night prior to the 2026 Super Bowl, Josh and Sean consider the cultural and political impact of Bad Bunny headlining the half time show as well as reflect on the drama associated with Janet Jackson and Justin Timberlake. The pair also discuss the recent horrifying details emerging from the released Epstein files and what it means for UK politics, particularly the downfall of Peter Mandelson and collateral damage for Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

Ep 80 - The Indisputable Downfall of Nicki Minaj

In this latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean complain, laugh, and then complain some more… especially about the cost of living in London. The duo kick things off with a discussion on the tragic spiral of rap legend Nicki Minaj and her decision to align herself with right wing politics. They focus on her public appearances with Donald Trump and Erika Kirk. This leads to an exploration of other celebrities who have slid into right wing rhetoric, including d-grade Australian personality Holly Valance who recently recorded a song in support of politician Pauline Hanson. Iconic actor Catherine O’Hara (Schitt’s Creek, Beetlejuice, Home Alone) passed away this week so Josh and Sean spend time reflecting on her contributions to the pop culture landscape. The episode ends with a dive into the astronomical increases in food prices which are making life in London unsustainable.

Ep 79 - Is it Too Late for Planet Earth? Are we doomed?

In the latest episode of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean laugh and (almost) cry about the state of the world.

Ep 75 - Golden Gaytimes & Christmas Number Ones!

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.

Ep 74 - Stranger Things: As Good As It Used To Be?

Josh and Sean are back with more DIY podcasting and unstructured conversation in episode 74 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong). 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.

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.
