In this episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive into an honest and wide-ranging conversation about personal health, UK politics, and culture in modern Britain. From NHS experiences and flu jabs to the Green Party’s growing momentum under leader Zack Polanski, the pair explore what progressive politics and compassion look like in 2025.
They also discuss a recent BBC Panorama investigation that exposed serious misconduct, including racism and misogyny, at Charing Cross Police Station, and what this says about policing and power in the UK. The conversation expands to cover capitalism, housing struggles, and the importance of hope and activism in challenging times.
Alongside the heavier topics, the hosts find time for some laughs, touching on queer cinema history through the classic 1977 film Outrageous and sharing their ongoing fascination with famous Australians.
Enjoy the ride!

In this episode, Josh and Sean take you on a journey to the sun-soaked shores of San Fruttuoso and Portofino, Italy and back again to the stark realities of wealth inequality and migration politics of the UK.
The conversation widens into a bigger picture: how migration debates miss the real causes of economic struggle, why the left needs to engage more meaningfully, and how unions once shaped attitudes around social justice but are now being locked out of political discourse. Overpopulation, resource management, and capitalism’s role in fuelling inequality all get a mention.

The conversation also explores the disturbing role AI is playing in fuelling gendered violence, as well as the unique ways women and girls are impacted by the violence of war.
Balancing the serious with the unexpected, the hosts then turn their attention to Hollywood and dig into the surprising and complicated family history of Sean Astin. From politics to pop culture, this episode covers it all.

Josh and Sean are back with another episode that jumps from the silly to the serious and everywhere in between.
This week they explore different cultural traditions, from the Mexican rat version of the tooth fairy to the curious Christmas custom of feeding and then beating a log with a stick. The conversation then takes a sharp turn into celebrity territory as they discuss Lady Gaga’s fiancé Michael Polansky, his impressive achievements, and what this says about wealth, privilege, and the whole “nepo baby” phenomenon.
From there, they move into politics and art, reflecting on the latest Banksy piece in London, if Lily Tomlin was in Grease, and the ongoing trauma faced by the Palestinian people. It’s an episode that balances humour, pop culture, and some deeply important issues.
Listen in, laugh with us, and maybe even question the world around you a little more.

In episode 60 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive into a mix of music, politics, and pop culture with their usual humour.
Sean shares his thoughts on Lady Gaga’s new music video for The Dead Dance, directed by Tim Burton and filmed on Mexico City’s eerie Island of Dolls in Xochimilco. They explore the legends behind the setting and its haunting atmosphere.
The hosts also dig into the troubling history of The Biggest Loser and reality TV’s exploitative side, asking what compassionate campaigns for wellness should look like. Representation of fatness in media takes centre stage as they reflect on harmful stereotypes and the desperate need for better narratives.
And of course, no episode would be complete without a dose of politics, this time questioning accountability in the wake of Angela Rayner’s resignation.
Join Josh and Sean for conversation that moves from spooky dolls to serious reflections, with plenty of laughter along the way.

In Episode 57 of Tell Me Where I’m Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean dive deep into the quirks and questions of modern life. From a doorstep run-in with Jehovah’s Witnesses to the blurred lines between cults and consumerism, this week’s chat covers identity, stereotypes, and the strange cultural pull of the Labubu craze.
They also explore the side effects of weight loss medications like Mounjaro, reflect on societal values, and debate the enduring cultural significance of Superman, especially with David Corenswet stepping into the cape.

Josh and Sean start this episode with the small but necessary stuff (life admin, weather chat, energy companies, and travel memories) before spiralling into a full-on rant fest about AI disinformation and how technology is changing the way we think, trust, and create.
Expect musings on whether AI can ever be ethical, why it might be dangerous in mental health contexts, and the problematic reality of using AI in creative industries. They also explore the erosion of trust in media, the difficulty of separating fact from fiction, and the cultural connections that keep us connected.
It’s a journey from the everyday to the existential with a few laughs, a bit of nostalgia, and plenty to think about along the way.

In this episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean take you on a wide-ranging journey through music, pop culture memories and making a difference. From the synthy genius of A-ha to the enduring Americana aesthetic of Brandon Flowers and The Killers, they explore the emotional pull of live music, queer representation, and why jukebox musicals often miss the mark.
There’s a heartfelt deep-dive into The Goonies and the cultural messiness of 80s kids’ films, including Cyndi Lauper’s unforgettable tie-in and her foray into professional wrestling. As always, it’s not all pop culture. Josh and Sean also talk about the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza, the urgency of community activism, and how queer joy and solidarity intersect with resistance.
Oh, and there's a shout-out to the upcoming third anniversary of their Queer Open Mic in London.

In Episode 54, Josh and Sean dive into a wide-ranging chat about the power of nostalgia, the legacy of childhood television, and how media shaped their early experiences. They reflect on the passing of Malcolm-Jamal Warner, and how his legacy on The Cosby Show has been overshadowed by the criminal activity of Bill Cosby.
The duo daydream about launching QueerCon, a celebration of queer icons past and present. Expect reality TV throwbacks, shoutouts to the casts of Pose and Paris Is Burning, and a love letter to the cultural moments that shaped them.

In this wide-ranging episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean unpack a recent trip to Brighton with all the salty seaside vibes, vegan eats, and unexpected celebrity chatter you’d expect from the UK’s most eccentric coastal city.
But it’s not all rock candy and ghost trains on the pier. The pair dive into weightier topics like trans rights, the performative side of activism, and whether politics really ever gets progressive. They share raw reflections on ageing out of party culture, the pressures of social media, and why concerts just aren’t what they used to be.
Also up for discussion:
- Brighton’s unique culinary and cultural identity
- What makes seaside towns both nostalgic and seedy
- The impact of documentaries like Paris is Burning
- The cost of being a musician in the streaming era
- Why Scarlett Johansson might be making odd career choices
Expect candid laughs, heartfelt insights, and a lot of thoughts on what it means to belong.

In this episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean settle in for a wide-ranging conversation that somehow manages to cover heatwaves, Eurostar delays, and the deep-rooted effects of colonialism.
From sweaty days in Paris and theme park chaos at Disneyland, to nostalgic nods to American sitcoms and the reality of public behaviour at concerts, this episode veers between cultural critique and light-hearted storytelling. The pair also talk about the difficulties people of colour face while travelling, the myths of the 'land of opportunity', and how the legacies of historical injustice show up in our day-to-day lives.
Also featuring: nuclear dread, romanticised travel woes, and an attempt to find joy in an increasingly warm world.

They share thoughts on Alanis Morissette’s lyrical genius, swap stories from recent concerts, and unpack the highs and lows of karaoke... both sober and otherwise.
The chat takes a deeper turn as they reflect on the complicated legacy of shows like Little Britain and Kath and Kim, questioning what comedy looks like in a more culturally aware world.

In this episode of Tell Me Where I'm Going (Wrong), Josh and Sean take a deep dive into the tangled web of modern-day addiction, from compulsive eating and alcohol to dopamine-fuelled distraction. They reflect on their personal experiences with instant gratification and the societal structures that keep us constantly overstimulated.
The conversation explores the impact of AI and misinformation, the exhausting pace of the digital world, and how mindfulness can help us stay grounded. With openness and humour, they unpack the psychological, social and chemical elements of addiction, including emerging treatments like Mounjaro and the push for drug decriminalisation.
Join us as we get honest about what it means to live, cope and try to grow in an overstimulated world.

In Episode 46, Josh and Sean take a winding journey through queer identity, vegan Ethiopian food, Jack the Ripper tourism, and the effects of gentrification on communities. From memories of growing up queer to questioning capitalism, religion, and our place in the universe, this episode tackles it all with a healthy dose of existential dread.
We also talk haircuts, food culture, colonisation, collective trauma, and how we might all be watching the slow decline of a civilisation.
