In this episode of Punk Rock Creatives, Marie sits down with musician, author and Rock Radio UK presenter Griff Griffiths — although somewhere along the way, neither of them is entirely sure whose show they're actually on, leading to some comical moments.

Griff has lived enough lives to fill several podcasts. We get into the extraordinary story behind his book I Was the King of Spain and the mental health crisis that led to a stay at The Priory.

We talk openly about mental health, creativity and finding humour in some of life's darkest and strangest moments, before heading off in several wonderfully unexpected directions.

There's Rock Radio UK, Griff's journey into broadcasting and life behind the microphone; how Griff's Rick Astley story bears a surprising similarity to a Gypsy Pistoleros story from series one of the podcast; and a conversation about punk, including what was happening to the scene during the 1990s and how punk has continued to evolve.

Having recently interviewed Marie on his own radio show, Griff and Marie inevitably end up swapping roles — to the point where they temporarily lose track of who is interviewing whom.

Don't worry. They eventually reel it back in.

Mostly.

A funny, candid and occasionally chaotic conversation about punk, radio, mental health, music, survival and an extraordinary creative life.

In this episode of Punk Rock Creatives, Marie chats with writer Molly Tie about her brilliant book Rebel Grrrls: The Real Story of Women and Punk from the 1970s to Today and the women who have helped shape punk and alternative music.

We talk about the sexism, abuse and hatred women can face within alternative scenes, and how women in music are often judged very differently from their male counterparts. The conversation explores the treatment of women including Brody Dalle, Courtney Love and Nancy Spungen, the extreme hatred and even death threats directed towards women in the public eye, and how those narratives influence the way women are viewed and remembered.

Molly also talks about researching and writing Rebel Grrrls, why these stories matter, and the importance of recognising women's contribution to punk beyond the familiar versions of its history.

Plus, we put Molly through the Punk Rock Creatives quick-fire round, talk punk, women, music and creativity — and plenty more along the way.

An honest conversation about women, punk, misogyny, representation and who gets to control the narrative.

This week on Punk Rock Creatives, Marie sits down with guitarist, keyboardist, accordion-playing songwriter and all-round punk legend Roman Jugg for a fascinating journey through decades of music, creativity and DIY culture. From growing up in South Wales in an immigrant family to becoming one of punk's most respected musicians.

Roman reflects on his time with The Damned, sharing memories from one of punk's most influential bands, before reminiscing about appearing in the legendary The Young Ones episode "Nasty." He reveals how he wrote the song around the episode's title and script, and offers a behind-the-scenes glimpse of what Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmondson and Nigel Planer were really like away from the cameras during that iconic era.

The conversation spans Roman's impressive musical journey, from The Phantom Chords to the Roman Jugg Band, Dirty Waters and Victimised, exploring how each project allowed him to grow as both a musician and songwriter.

Away from the stage, Roman talks about his time presenting shows on Phoenix Radio and shares stories about friendships and collaborations, including memories of Franck from Corpus Delicti and Curl, alongside reflections on the ever-evolving punk scene.

Roman discusses being spat at on stage in the early days, talks about Hagar the Womb's infamous bottles of piss being thrown at them in the early 80's, and reflects on how audiences—and punk itself—have changed over the years.

The pair also venture beyond music, discussing the current state of the nation, life's wonderfully random hobbies and interests, and why creativity continues to matter in an increasingly challenging world.
