Known for his sharp intellect and inquisitive nature, James invites a diverse array of guests—from legendary DJs and acclaimed ventriloquists to iconic authors and key political figures—to engage in long-form, thoughtful conversations that defy the standard interview format. What sets this show apart is the depth of the inquiry. Whether discussing the intersection of identity and creative genius with writers like Russell T. Davies and Cressida Cowell, or unpacking the personal traumas that fueled the life of DJ Fat Tony, James encourages his guests to go off-script.
