This week we had Maverick Sabre hop on the pod shortly after the release of his incredible new album 'Burn The Right Things Down'.

We talked about his free pop up gigs he's been performing in bars around the UK and Ireland, how he stays optimistic and the importance of community in the modern age. Mav is as sound as they come and was generous with his time and wisdom. We reeled it right back to when he toured with Snoop Dogg, the tracks he made with Joey Bada$$ and even talked about the time Mac Miller showed him love.

Definitely one of my favourite podcasts to date, shout out to the Warner Records Ireland crew for letting us use their space.

Alongside his partner Lisa Barros D'Sa, Glenn Leyburn has directed a number of incredible films. The likes of 'Good Vibrations' which focused on Belfast punk legend Terri Hooley, 'Cherry Bomb' which featured Rupert Grint and Robert Sheehan and 'Ordinary Love' with Liam Neeson.

However, before all that Glenn was a designer and worked closely with David Holmes on his iconic sugar sweet club nights in Belfast. As part of our first live podcast and in collaboration with Output Festival I chatted with glenn about his journey from belfast to the states and back and how a call from Bono resulted in a film being made.

Glenn is currently working on a film called 'Saipan' about the infamous bust up between Roy Keane and Mick McCarthy at the 2002 world cup.

This week we have one of my favourite singers right now - shiv. The Irish-Zimbabwean artist just dropped her stunning new debut album 'the defiance of a sadgirl'.

Written during a time of personal upheaval, Shiv’s album is more than just music—it’s a journey through healing and self-discovery. After breaking up with her management, label, long-term partner, and moving back to Ireland from London, Shiv channeled all that emotion into a project that explores themes of self-love, renewal, and acceptance.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How creating this album helped her heal after major life changes
• The influence of her time in Uganda on the production and songwriting process 🌍
• Collaborating with Bricknasty
• Synchronicity in her music and life

Next Up we have Brian Cross AKA B+. Brian is one of the most important photographers & Filmmakers in hip hop, period. He's worked with Biggie Smalls, J Dilla, Kendrick Lamar, Snoop Dogg, Lauryn Hill and even once told me that MF DOOM shared his studio for a while.

Brian actually grew up in Limerick, before getting a degree in NCAD in Dublin and moving to California in 1990 to attend California Institute of the Arts. It was here he became immersed in hip hop culture as it was beginning to really blossom and his professor Mike Davis encouraged him to combine his interest in politics, hip hop and photography and eventually Brian published ‘It’s Not About A Salary - Rap and Resistance in LA’. It featured conversations and photos of Dr Dre, Eazy-E, Ice Cube, Cypress hill and more and was one of the first books documenting west coast hip hop

If you look close enough brian’s imprint is everywhere. Hip Hop Heads will no doubt be familiar with DJ Shadow’s Entroducing, the album is in the guinness world book of records for being the first record to be made completely out of samples. The iconic artwork shows producer Chief Xcel and rapper Lyrics Born digging for records and was of course shot by Brian.

In this episode we talk about his new film about The Supremes which is shot in Ireland, his legendary documentary Brasilintime and working with legends like Madlib.
