Show Description:

👦 When do you actually become an adult? Ricky and Flav chat about age, earning money, bills, parenthood and taking responsibility, before asking whether 16-year-olds should vote. Plus: stolen ladders, bad money decisions and a work trip that ends with a week going commando.

Dilemma: Should I Come Clean?

Something Only You Know: It's Terminal

TOPIC FOR NEXT WEEK: Britpop

The Britpop era started in 1993, hitting its peak in 1995 and ending in 1997. Oasis v Blur. Suede, Pulp and a whole host of other bands. The culture of Cool Britannia as an answer to the American-led grunge and shoegaze scene, Tony Blair’s New Labour and of course we can’t forget the Spice Girls.
