In this episode, James takes us into the first encounters that he had with his fellow ACTA classmates Hannah Yells, Bridgette Morley, Briar Whitten, and Kaycee Bottcher and reflects on them and the affect they've had on his life subsequently. This section is based off James's first meetings with them at the first rehersal of ACTA in 2000.

In this episode, James gives a run-down into how the Future Te Aroha Trust and ACTA were established and gives an insight into his initial connection with Robbie Williams music and what made him want to be a performer.

James's introduction to the Broken Blue Skies podcast is taken from the Introduction chapter of the Broken Blue Skies book "The Story To Tell That's Not A Song". Detailing what lies ahead on this journey, James talks about why he's expanding on the book with this podcast series and what he hopes to achieve as a result.
