  • Did You Queer About… JADE’s Tiny Desk Concert, new music from Kesha and Charli XCX, plus Harry Styles’ Dance No More video?
    May 14 2026

    Pop’s reigning IT girl — and mother of the pod — JADE adds a Tiny Desk Concert to her ever-growing list of debut-era milestones. But does her high-concept performance style translate to an intimate, stripped-back set?


    Meanwhile, Ben and Mikey dive deep into new releases from Millennial Mothers Kesha and Charli XCX (for longer than the tracks actually run) before rallying in defence of overdog Harry Styles and his divisive dance moves.

    In this week’s bonus episode, Ben and Mikey ask: what do the Met Gala and The Celebrity Traitors have in common?

  • Did You Queer About… new music from Madonna, Lady Gaga, Kacey Musgraves, Melanie C and Zara Larsson?
    May 7 2026

    Ben & Mikey’s ultimate Queens of Pop are back with new tracks. Madonna teams up with Sabrina Carpenter, while Gaga delivers original songs for The Devil Wears Prada 2 soundtrack — including a collab with Doechii. But the real question is: will we ever get the Madonna x Gaga moment the community deserves?


    Elsewhere, the boys get into it: has Kacey Musgraves perfectly captured the post-break up experience? Are we seeing Melanie C in her Sporty Spice prime? And what do we like — and dislike — about the trend of remix albums?

    BRING YOUR LOVE / CONFESSIONS II (Madonna & Sabrina Carpenter)

    SHAPE OF A WOMAN / GLAMOROUS LIFE (Lady Gaga)
