Stuart chats to the iconic singer-songwriter about her new memoir, Wayward: Just Another Life to Live. The pair discuss the thoughtful and candid rendition of her time in 1960s pop, her extraordinary road trip to the remote Isle of Skye during which she wrote her 1970 debut album Just Another Diamond Day as well as her reintroduction to the music industry. Ignored on release, Just Another Diamond Day is now widely revered as one of the most poignant and important albums of it's time.

The featured album is Canadian musician Venetian Snares' album from 2015, Rossz Csillag Alatt Született. Inspired by a trip to Hungary, the record brings together classical music with break beat and drum and bass configurations in a dramatic and intense pairing that works brilliantly and unexpectedly.
