Huw is joined by two compelling guests: Bonnie Prince Billy and John Robbins. The conversation weaves through a shared love of music, with Bonnie Prince Billy offering insight into his latest album, We Are Together Again—its inspirations, creative process, and the stories behind the songs. A longtime admirer of Bonnie Prince Billy’s work, John Robbins brings genuine enthusiasm to the discussion, reflecting on the impact the music has had on him and deepening the conversation with a fan’s perspective. Along the way, the discussion takes a candid turn into the subject of alcohol—its place in creative culture, personal experiences, and changing attitudes—handled with honesty and warmth. John also shares details about his forthcoming book, Thirst, giving listeners a preview of its themes and what motivated him to write it, while drawing connections between writing, performance, and personal growth. We get to know one of Huw’s favourite new artists in this week's 'Huw are you'. We'll have another quiz from Huw's Music Quiz Generator, giving one of you the opportunity to win a Music Sounds Better With Huw pinbadge. Produced by BBC Audio in Cardiff for BBC Radio 6 Music
