The Green Man PodcastShow Notes
With the tickets sold out for Green Man 2026, we look back at this year's festival. First up, we hear from Just Mustard and Caroline backstage at the Far Out stage. They talk about preparing for their shows, producing their albums, and where the best place is to record their music.
We then take a wander across to Cinedrome, for another wonderful conversation with film critic Jason Solomons. This time, he chats to Director Kim Hopkins about the 2025 movie Still Pushing Pineapples (remember Agadoo doo doo push pineapple shake the tree?!), about an ageing pop star trying to revive and keep alive his past triumph.

Elizabeth is in conversation with broadcaster Huw Stephens.
